Good morning good morning!! How goes your week so far? We had rain yesterday – a LOT, actually! – so….we’ve got God watering the garden for a minute, so…that’s cool! I’m sure we’ll be back to “real” summer soon!
My card today uses a new bundle that is so ridiculously stinkin’ cute that….you need to get it ordered RIGHT NOW if you haven’t already! It’s the Elephant Parade Bundle – and…well. Take a look-see:
Good Monday morning, y’all! Did you have a good weekend? It was a hot booger here – but the weather cooperated and we got the garden mollycoddled and new gates up. So…yeah us!! 🙂 Speaking of gardens – I picked about 30 blueberries yesterday – the first of the season! Having them this morning in my yoghurt! Yummm-OOOO!!
My card today is…gorgeous. Not cuz I’m all talented or anything but…because it features the stunning Hues of Happiness DSP and the coordinating Happiness Abounds Bundle. You kind of have to make an effort to NOT make something amazing when you use it!! I loved it so much that I actually made TWO cards! Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – good morning at the half-way point of the weekend! Hope it’s going well so far! Yesterday ended up being work-on-fence day – not tomato molly-coddling day, so…hoping to be doing that today!
I DID make a foray into the “gram” yesterday – yes, I made an Instagram reel for the first time! I know – I am, indeed, the Queen of the Social Media.
Said no one…EVER! But – I did it! If you’re on the “gram” go find me (Stampnslingers) and see what you think. Don’t laugh at it – I’ll get better.
Eventually 😳😳😳
My card today uses a very sweet a la carte die set (that’s a die set that is stand-alone – not associated with a stamp set) called the Pretty Pop-Up Dies. I grabbed a couple of sentiments from Celebrating You and one of my favorite flower images from Sending Smiles. The host-exclusive Design a Daydream DSP set the stage. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy weekend! What on your agenda!? Wayne is putting in a new gate post for the back pasture – I’ll be working in the garden mollycoddling my tomatoes and squash. And peppers. And beans. And and and…oh! We have THREE sunflowers blooming! They’re so pretty! They’ve each got a stake so…maybe they won’t fall down. Not sure if they’ll give me any actual SEEDS, but…they’ll probably make the birds happy! 🙂
Once I get done sweating in the garden, no telling what will be next on the list. But – tonight at 7pm eastern, I’m planning to go live on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel! I’ve got a pretty card for you using….oops – almost gave it away! Here’s a sneaky peek!
Happy Friday!! Whoo-hoo! If you’re like me (yes, even now that I’m retired!) the weekend is stretching out ahead of you and it feels like it’s such a LONG time before you have to go to work again! Surely it’s not just me?! That feeling is so wonderful, isn’t it!? I hope you get to enjoy the time “off”! 🙂
I’ve got a cool card for you – it’s a Slimline card – and it’s perfect as we head into hot (aka “pool” season) time of the year! The sweet little Sunny Splash stamp set features fun bathing suits and sentiments – I added some 2022-2024 In Color DSP and a little texture with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a theme challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I pulled out one of my fave carrying-over (YEAH!!) stamp sets – the Paradise Palms with its bundled Palms Dies – and a new background stamp called Rays of Light – to create my tropical (okay – it’s Maui!) scene! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope the week is going well for you. We’re in the midst of the Virtual Incentive Trip event being put on by Stampin’ Up – and it’s been pretty amazing so far. Today is a ZOOM networking session with other achievers and…a Game Show tonight! “So You Think You Can Craft” is the name and….it sounds like it’s going to be a fun time!! 🙂 It’s not quite the same as having all of us together – on a ship – or on Maui – but…it’s a pretty solid substitute!!
My card for today is a pet sympathy card for a friend of mine. I used the new Full of Love stamp set – and the carrying-over Inspired Thoughts set. And – I did some embossing with the Into the Clouds embossing folder. Take a look-see:
Good morning again! Just a reminder – this is the last day to take advantage of my Special Bundles from the 2022-2024 Annual Catalog – don’t miss out on an opportunity to save some money and add to your card-making stash!
My Zoom the Craftroom session was really fun yesterday – I had a few team members on – Carol Buckalew (from Inky Bee Stampers) and Barb Fadel – and long-time customer Sharon Harris. We got to talking about the Triple Time Technique – yet another team member has done a few in the last week (Terry Lynn Bright – from TL’s BrightSpot). It’s one of my fave techniques – that I haven’t done for a while – so…we decided to make a card together!
I pulled out the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and a little cardstock – set up my camera – and away we went! Take a look-see at what we created!
Good morning, all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend – and hope that your new catalog goodies are finding their way to your mailboxes! We had a lot of folks chime in on their faves – and…we have a Blog Candy winner, too! Read down below for the big reveal!!
My card today is super easy. I know – you’re shocked. I am, too! I used the Lovely in Linen DSP – a couple of Stylish Shapes die cuts – and the Lovely & Lasting Stamp Set to make a quick, clean birthday card. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy middle-of- May! Can you even believe it!? I can – because I have flowers coming on my tomatoes – and I put fly masks on the ponies for the first time yesterday. It’s summer, baby!! 🙂
My fun-fold card today features some seashells – so…a beachy theme. Sort of. Well – maybe not completely. I used the pretty Texture Chic Specialty DSP as the basis but…then I pulled in the a la carte Mini Pocket Envelope Dies and…the amazing Charming Sentiments bundle. Take a look-see:
