Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a great color challenge – 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!
We have got one of the best groups of new In Colors right now, don’t you think? I love them!
Well – okay. Magenta Madness is maybe more…”like-a-lot” than love for me! 😉
But – what happens when you put them together using the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack and the Field of Flowers bundle? A lot – especially if you throw in sentiments from Well Said and the Well Written Dies. Take a look-see:
Hey guys! Hope your week is going well! I mean – it’s HAWWWWMP Day – so…at least you’re topping the hill, right?!? 🙂
Been busy times here – Stampin’ Up!-wise and all! Pre-order for the new 2020 Aug – Dec Mini Catalog for us demonstrators. Whoo-hoo!! I also ordered lots of copies of the catalog to send out to all my customer peeps! If you’re a customer of mine (ordered at least $50 in the past 12 months) then one of my copies already has your name on it. I’ll turn them back around and get them mailed out just as soon as they get to me! If you’re not my customer, but would like to be, then head on over to my Online Store and let’s get started! 🙂
Other big news – and more evidence that timing is everything!? BONUS DAYS!! Yep – it’s back and it means it’s time to start earning bonus coupons! You spend in July and you SAVE in August! All the deets are down the way a bit.
You might decide to get started with…one of the awesome kits in the new catalog. This group of kits is really wonderful y’all – with gorgeous images, useful sentiments and stunning colors! One of them – the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit – is particularly wunnermus! I put it together quick-like-a-bunny the other day – and…wow. Take a look-see:
Mornin’, y’all! So…breaking news….We’re down to it, you guys. Today. Tomorrow. And…gone! The Pick a Free Bundle Starter Kit Promotion that is! I’ve seen a few joining specials since I came on board in 2014. But this one really takes the cake.
Or…the BUNDLE, as it were. Truly – this is an amazing joining offer! I would so love to have you join us!! Give me a holler with questions or….to get signed up now! 😎
There are ALSO only two days remaining to earn an EXTRA $25 in Stampin’ Rewards! That means…when you fill that new catalog Wish List and spend $250 (before shipping and tax) – you’ll find yourself with a cool $50 in free money!!
Okay – promotional plug – done! 😉
I DID make a card for you today (were you starting to wonder??!) – using the stunning Celebrate Sunflowers BUNDLE (ie: one you could pick for FREE!!) – and the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set! Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a sketch challenge from Claire this week and it’ll for sure jump-start your creative mojo! I hope you’ll come and play along. 🙂
If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
Hey guys! It’s the weekend! Whoo-hooo! Hope you’ve got some plans for something fun – and that the Sahara Sand Plume isn’t putting too big of a damper on things! It’s quite apparent here in Atlanta!
So – I’ll be going live this evening at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. I’ve got a cute little card for you and I think you’ll like it! Take a sneaky peek!
Not much help, huh? 😉
Well – guess you’ll have to come see what it’s all about, right?
Happy Friday, y’all! I hope your week went well – our did. And it went fast. Like…Warp Factor Four, Mr. Sulu-fast. What the heck??! I mean – seriously, just last week I was 28 – and then…I was 29 in the blink of an eye. At this rate I’ll be 60 before this time next year!
See…THAT’S funny cuz I actually WILL be 60 this time next year – with or without Warp-Speed-Time-Passing! 😉
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! 🙂
This is a gate card – without a bellyband. Instead, it’s got a unique “locking mechanism” that holds the card closed.
As you can see – I did two versions. The one on the right uses pieces that were leftover from putting my June Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin together – cool, huh?
I first saw this fun-fold when I got a birthday card from my friend Elisha Smith – then I took a peek at Amanda Chatsworth’s video. And then – I modified it all a little bit to work as an A2 sized card and fit a Medium Envelope.
I started by creating a regular gate card – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored and folded at 2 1/8″ from each short end. I used Basic Black for the lemons card and Misty Moonlight for the Boho Indigo card.
I adhered Artistry Blooms DSP or Boho Indigo DSP to their mats – Daffodil Delight or Very Vanilla – with Liquid Glue and then used Liquid Glue to adhere them to the “gates”.
The locking mechanism – which also functions as the card front – is created with four pieces of the mat-colored card stock – all the same size (2 5/8″ x 4 3/8″). On two of the panels – I scored and folded them at 1 5/16″ on the short side.
I used Liquid Glue to “sandwich” the two folded panels between the other two panel to create an “X”. Best way is to check the video – fast forward to about the 13 minute mark! 🙂
Once the “mechanism” was complete – it was just a matter of decorating!
The lemon card uses a black/dotted sticker and some die cuts from the Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit I tied a little bow from the black/white twine in the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot. The sentiment on that one is from the Fancy Phrases set – stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White. It’s adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some of the adhesive-backed sequins from the kit as well!
On the Boho Indigo card, I adhered another piece of the Boho Indigo DSP to the mat. Then I stamped the sentiment – also from the medley – on one of the pretty vanilla/gold die cut tags (from the medley – there is a LOT in this medley, y’all!). I looped a piece of Night of Navy 1/2″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon thru the top and tied it with a length of gold twine from the Forever Greenery Ribbon Combo Pack.
I used some of the pretty leaves die cuts from the medley, adhering them to the card front with Liquid Glue – then popped the sentiment on with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some foil flowers AND some of the sweet little Paper Flowers with Liquid Glue. Finally – I added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots cuz it seemed like the right thing to do! 🙂
On the inside – I added a sentiment from Fancy Phrases in Rich Razzleberry to a Whisper White panel. I adhered another leaf and a lemon with Liquid Glue and trimmed the excess with Paper Snips. Then I adhered it into the Lemon card.
For the inside of the Boho Indigo card, I just stamped a Very Vanilla panel with the leaves image from the medley stamp set in Garden Green – stamping a couple of times without re-inking. I matted it on Very Vanilla.
For the Whisper White Medium Envelope for my Lemon card got a sweet little flower from Fancy Phrases in Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Watercolor Pencils. I added Artistry Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.
On the front of the Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, I added more leaves from Boho Indigo in Garden Green – and then added the DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is a pretty easy fold – the mechanism is the only “hard” part – and it’s not very hard, either, once you see how it’s done! If you’ve got the June Box of Sunshine kit – I hope this will give you some ideas about more fun projects to make with those extra pieces. And – you NEED to get the Boho Indigo Product Medley if you don’t have it already. It is simply amazing!!
I hope you like! 😉
There’s less than a week left in the month of June, y’all – which means less than a week to take advantage of the Pick a Free Bundle Joining Special and the Catalog Kickoff Ordering Celebration to get those extra Stampin’ Rewards! Don’t miss out!

Finn Fan Fix
The other day, I couldn’t find Finn.
Which was weird, cuz I knew he’d come in with me.
I’d taken his collar off.
I remembered it clearly.
But…he was disappeared.
I looked all over – even started to wonder about alien abductions. Wormholes opening in the living room.
I gave Katy the side-eye…what did you do to your brother?
And then – I found him.
To be clear – I walked by him twice looking for him (it’s actually dark in there – this is a flash shot). That’s a tiny little hallway to our third bedroom. From the kitchen looking towards the back of the house – he was completely invisible.
He truly couldn’t have shoe-horned himself any deeper into that tiny little cranny!
Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a cool sketch challenge – 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!
When I saw our sketch, I right away thought of the new Posted for You bundle with the stamp set and coordinating Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. So…that’s what I used – and I paired it with some beautiful Artistry Blooms DSP. Take a look-see:
I started with a piece of Basic Black card stock that I ran thru my die cutting/embossing machine twice in the new Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. I ran it thru once and then flipped the card stock around to emboss the other side.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the front of my Basic Black card base.
I cut a piece of Artistry Blooms DSP and embossed it in the second folder from the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders – the one with the butterflies…
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the embossed panel onto a Daffodil Delight mat and then onto the card front.
On a piece of Whisper White, I used my Stamparatus to stamp two of the images in the Posted For You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. When the ink was dry, I cut each of the images with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.
Using my Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencils, I colored the images.
Then I popped them all onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals
I stamped the Posted For You sentiment in Calypso Coral on Whisper White and cut it with the small Stitched Rectangle Die.
Using Glue Dots – I adhered a short length of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Ruched Ribbon – then I adhered the sentiment over top with Liquid Glue.
A few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots here and there finished off the card front.
On the inside, I stamped a second Posted For You sentiment in Calypso Coral on Whisper White. Over the sentiment, in stamped-off-once Granny Apple Green, I added the post-mark image.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Daffodil Delight mat and into the card base, and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the post-mark image in Granny Apple Green on the front…
…and more of the Artistry Blooms DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is such a sweet and simple stamp set – the images and sentiments are lovely. And – I really love the bundled Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (yes – I know – I love ALL punches – but THIS one is sort of perfect!!).
Et Voila! I hope you like. 🙂
And – this is one of THIRTY-FOUR bundles you can choose from when you join the team before the end of June during the Pick a FREE Bundle Joining Special! Just throwing that out there! 😉

Now – with that plug out of the way, I have a card today that’s been on my gotta-make-it list since I saw the sample on page 103 in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog! I love the new Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder – and…this card, paired with the new Happiest of Birthdays stamp set – is a beaut! Take a look-see:
I loved the sample so much that I really wanted to make it for you without much change – all I did was tweak it a bit for the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge.
I started with a piece of Vellum card stock that I embossed in the new Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder.
I turned the panel over and used my Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencil to color just the leaves and stems.
I used Glue Dots under the embossed parts of the vellum to adhere it to a Pool Party panel. Then I adhered the whole thing to a Pool Party mat with Stampin’ Seal.
Using my Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend, I colored a length of Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon. When it was dry, I wrapped the ribbon twice around the panel, securing it in the back with Glue Dots. Then I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around and tied a little bow.
I stamped a sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays in Mint Macaron on Whisper White then cut it with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I cut it and then I re-positioned the die and ran it thru the die cutting machine a second time to make the sentiment shorter.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I popped the sentiment over the ribbon on the card front.
I used my Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend to color some of the new Butterfly Gems (I colored the Seaside Spray gems) and adhered them to the card front – and the card was done!
On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to stamp a second Happiest of Birthdays sentiment in Mint Macaron onto a Whisper White panel. I added a few more of the colored Butterfly Gems.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Pool Party mat and into my Bermuda Bay card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got some Bermuda Bay butterflies from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set on the front…
…and a little Mint Macaron Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! What a big and beautiful sentiment stamp set this Happiest of Birthdays set is!
And – I love dandelion images of all sorts – and a Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder? Oh yes!! My goodness!!
I hope you like and…will be adding these goodies to your stash post haste! 😉
If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Finn Fan Fix
Finn gave me one more day in “his” spot so that I can share the rest of the great birthday cards I got this week from my friends, teammates and customers!
This lovely floral card is from CNCK teammate Clara Shore!!
Inkin’ Krew teammate Barbara Simmons sent this Poppy beauty…
Elisha Smith, a fellow SU! demonstrator from Neil Armstrong’s birthplace in Ohio, sent a lovely fun-fold! The middle piece slides up and off to reveal the gate fold!
A lovely friend, Susan Heine, who, along with a group of talented ladies, uses my retired papers, ribbons and embellishments in their quilt and card ministry for veterans – sent these two sweet cards!
My CNCK team member, Terry Lynn Bright, made a fun birthday card with the So Much Happy Bundle and Playing with Patterns DSP.
And, another of my lovely CNCK team members, Susan Kuenzel, sent this fun card!
Wow. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I have been so blessed with all the folks that I’ve met and become friends with since I joined Stampin’ Up! I am so very grateful to each and every one of you for helping me to ring in my 29th birthday! 🙄😎
Good morning, y’all! Before we get going – I want to thank all the folks who’ve sent Birthday cards these last few days! My – what a great group of happy mail! I am very blessed to have so many folks who care enough about me to send their beautiful creations! I’ll be sharing them with y’all this week!!
Now – for my card – I pulled out the amazeballs new Boho Indigo Product Medley and paired it with a Tasteful Labels die. Take a look-see:
I started with one of the gorgeous Night of Navy patterns that are part of the Boho Indigo Product Medley and matted it on Real Red for the card front.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the sentiment – from the included Boho Indigo stamp set – in Real Red. Then I cut it with a Tasteful Labels die.
I used a few Glue Dots to adhere a Gold Hoop Embellishment to the card front. Then I popped the sentiment label over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On more Whisper White, I stamped the triple-flower image from the Boho Indigo set in So Saffron and cut them out with the matching dies in the Boho Indigo Die Set.
I adhered the flowers with Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.
Finally, I adhered some of the uber-sweet little Paper Flowers – yep, also in the Boho Indigo Product Medley! – to the die-cut flowers – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I adhered a Real Red-matted strip of the Boho Indigo DSP to a Whisper White panel. I stamped some So Saffron flowers onto the panel as well.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Real Red mat and into my So Saffron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Boho Indigo flowers in So Saffron on the front…
…and more of the Boho Indigo DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – that’s what I have to say about the Boho Indigo Product Medley, y’all! It is just gorgeous!! And it is chock-a-block full of beautiful Designer Paper, the exclusive stamp set and matching dies, sweet paper flowers, label die cuts, two ribbons and some lovely embossed cardstock panels!
Just add some “staples” and you’re ready to create!! I hope you love it as much as I do! 🙂

Finn Fan Fix
I don’t actually think this picture needs any caption.
I feel sure it speaks for itself.
In case I was wrong and it’s not self-explanatory – here’s what happened.
That cat jumped up on the arm of the chair, where the Dad had left a paper towel and his phone.
When the cat jumped up there – the phone AND the paper towel fell to the floor.
Finn – helpful as always – retrieved the paper towel to bring to the mom for disposal.
Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s Joanne’s Clean-And-Simple challenge this week and it’ll for sure jump-start your creative mojo! I hope you’ll come and play along. 🙂
If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
This week, I SAW and acknowledged the “clean-and-simple” part of the challenge – and decided this was a great chance to use a new bundle – the Pattern Play stamp set with the awesome Playful Alphabet dies. I added a little In Good Taste DSP to the mix and…well…take a look-see:
Okay – if this isn’t clean-and-simple, then…I guess I need some learnin’!! 😉
And here’s this week’s Paper Players Theme challenge! Hope you’ll join the fun and show us your projects! I can’t wait to see what you create!
…and the colors worked well with the Sunday Stamps challenge, too!
I started by cutting my letters for the word “thanks”, using the new Playful Alphabet dies. Y’all – you know how sometimes letter dies are TOOO big? And sometimes they’re TOOO small and fussy!?? Well – THESE are JUUUUSSST right! In fact – they’re perfect!
I cut them twice each – once from some wood-design paper in the In Good Taste DSP pack and again in Real Red cardstock. NOTE: in the video card, I first adhered the Real Red card stock to a piece of the new Foam Adhesive Sheets and then went from there. Y’all – they are COOL!!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the wood letters to the Real Red ones, offsetting them just a smidge to create a shadow.
Then I laid them out on my Whisper White panel to get the location correct.
I inked the solid hearts image from the Pattern Play set in Real Red and stamped it above my dry-fit sentiment.
Then I embossed the panel in the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. You want to emboss AFTER you stamp.
Or…you can emboss and THEN stamp – but you’ll want to use your Stamparatus so that you can stamp it a couple of times…
Trust me on this, okay? 😉
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Balmy Blue mat.
Then, using Liquid Glue – I adhered the letters. Note: the Foam Adhesive Sheets have their own adhesive, so…no Glue needed!
Finally, I wrapped some twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack around the panel a couple of times – securing it in the back with Glue Dots. I wrapped a short length around the two wraps and tied a little bow – and the card front was done!
Clean. And. Simple.
Told ya. 😉
On the inside, I inked the diagonal hashmark image in Balmy Blue and added it across the bottom of a Whisper White panel (it’s photoploymer – so easy to line up just right!). Then I added some Real Red hearts.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Balmy Blue mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals – and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Balmy Blue hash marks and Real Red hearts across the front…
…and more of the In Good Taste DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Y’all – I LOVE this new Playful Alphabet stamp set! The dies are perfectly sized to do ANYthing you want – and the set includes numbers and punctuation, too! Use it alone – or combine it with the sentiments and texture/design images in the bundled Pattern Play stamp set.
I hope you like!
What do you think? Is THIS the bundle you’ll pick when you join my team during the amazing Pick a Free Bundle Starter Kit Promotion?? Inquiring minds want to know! 🤔

The other day – there came a heckuva a ruckus on the roof.
I actually thought there was a racoon up there.
Or…a rhinocerous.
Finn knew EXACTLY what…and WHERE!…the problem was.
