Posted on September 13, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is “Halloween Fun”! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

I thought a nice spooky (not really!) wreath – with a spider and everything! – would be great for Halloween. So…out came the Cottage Wreaths bundle – with the fun Country Wreaths dies. And – the Black & White Designs DSP seemed like a pretty good way to get it started. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Go To Greetings Thank You with Video Tutorial

Posted on September 11, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning on this Patriot Day – a day of remembrance. Do you remember where you were 21 years ago? What you were doing when you heard that our world as we knew it – with its unassailable borders – had changed forever? I surely do. And I remember how I felt in the days and weeks after – the patriotic sense of ONENESS that permeated our country. We all need to always remember that feeling – and the cause.

Okay. Seriousness done. Let’s get down to business! 🙂

I’ve got a pretty Fall thank you card for you today – thanks to the Brightest Beauty stamp set with its bundled Golden Beauty Dies. Texture Chic Specialty DSP adds some unexpected Fall colors – and the aptly-named Go To Greetings set makes this a true thank-you card! Take a look-see:

Good morning good morning and happy Friday! Hope your SHORT week has been great and that you’re ready for the weekend!

Posted on September 7, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy HAWWWWMP Day. Or – is it actually Hawwwmp Day if Monday was a holiday?

I dunno. Happy Wednesday either way!

Two Admin-y things before we get going! First – today’s the last day to take advantage of the first September Weekly Deals. Brushed Brass Butterflies and Rustic Metallic Adhesive-backed Dots. Among other goodies. Just sayin’!

And second – today is the START of the availability of a super cool new Kit – called the Christmas Gifting Kit. With this one great kit you’ll be able to make 9 gift tags AND 9 Gift Card Holders! It’s time to be thinking along those lines and…this is a great start! Get the deets down below!

Okay. Here we go! So – I saw one of the most gorgeous cards the other day – my friend Brian King posted it and…I had to CASE it.

I. Had. To.

So – I did! Like him, I used the Peace to You stamp set – although I selected the other big and gorgeous image in the set. And I used my fave Orchid Oasis instead of Starry Sky. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Rugged Charming Sentiments Masculine Thank You Card

Posted on September 6, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday! Did you all have a good three-day weekend? Ours was a bit of a wash-out – it rained much of each day! Which meant – a lot of inside time for us! Not altogether a bad thing, really!

My card today is a special request – needed a masculine thank you for handyman work done well. Not hunting or fishing. Maybe some woods….hmmmm.

So – I put on my crafty thinking cap and…pulled out the Rugged Icons die set – with its power drill die. And then some Neutrals DSP – a couple of sentiments from Charming Sentiments. And then I let myself use some woodsy elements from the Grassy Grove set on the inside – I mean..the work was done at a Rocky Mountain house so….it seemed right! Take a look-see:

Posted on September 5, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Labor Day! I hope you are NOT laboring today and instead are getting ready for a backyard BBQ or some such to celebrate the last holiday of the summer!

My card today celebrates Christmas. Cuz…it’s September. So…why not?! Never too early is my motto. And Walmart’s. And Costco’s…. LOL!

I used the Trimming the Tree stamp set – from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog – with the new (and limited availability!) Tree Trimmings dies – which are part of the Perfect Partners promotion taking place all month! I used a little Lights Aglow DSP, too! Take a look-see:

Posted on September 4, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We’re sort of laying low – but…the shelves are bare of pumpkin for the man so….it’s off to Wally today for sure! 😳

There’s a really cool coloring technique called Joseph’s Coat, which is a sort of emboss resist technique that happens to be really perfect for Fall cards! I mean – it’s good for a LOT of card types – but…Fall is my fave for using it! That’s what I did for today’s card, using the Soft Seedlings stamp set. Take a look-see:
