Good morning – it is Monday again! Hope your week is looking like it’ll be a good one!
I’ve got a pretty – and pretty easy! – card for your today. Well – TWO cards, actually! Both use the pretty Fragrant Flowers stamp set and bundled dies from the Jan – Apr 2023 Mini Catalog and pretty Favored Flowers DSP – a free-with-qualifying-order goody from the Jan – Feb 2023 Sale-A-Bration catalog. Take a look-see:
Good morning! Do you KNOW what day it is?!?
Well – yes – it IS HAWWWMP DAY! But…it is ALSO the last day to catch those last minute Last Chance goodies you’re wanting! Don’t let them slip away, okay??
But wait! There’s MORE – and it’s not a set of GINSU knives. Nope – this day marks us as LESS than 24-HOURS before the launch of…the Jan – Apr 2023 Mini Catalog AND the Best Time of the Year…Sale-a-Bration! With it’s freebies and exclusive Host Set. AND an amazing three-tiered joining special! You’ll get all the deets tomorrow so…if you’re even SORT of thinking that being a demonstrator would be a great plan (it is – trust me on this!) – then NOW it’s an even GREATER plan! And – I’d love to have you be a Critter! 😉 That’s a GOOD thing! 😂😂
Okay – on to the card – I know that’s why you’re really here. And to see Finn – but…that’s another story entirely! Today I pulled the new Playing in the Rain bundle and coordinating Rain or Shine Specialty DSP to make a sweet little card based on a sample in the new catalog. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday! Two more sleeps and Santa will be here! Hope you’re ready! And…typing that sentence reminded me that I need to go get the prime rib out of the freezer! YIKES!! 😳😳😳
So – we’re watching the big arctic bomb thingy head our way bringing temps in the low teens and…I’m thinking SPRING! In my defence – I just got the first Seed catalog of the season in the mail! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ The Queen Bee bundle and Flowers & More DSP (an amazing host-exclusive paper pack in the new Mini) are perfect harbingers of a warmer and sunnier season – and they’re the stars of today’s card! With – a little peek at the Alphabet A La Mode Die set. Take a look-see:
Good morning everyone and welcome to the Fun Folds Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?
I decided to try out a new product – from the Jan – Apr 2023 Mini Catalog – available to demonstrators on 1 Dec and to customers on 5 Jan! It’s the Delicate Desert Suite and…it’s gorgeous! It’s anchored by the Desert Details bundle which has some seriously cool dies and great sentiments in fun fonts and is supported by the Delicate Desert Specialty DSP. And – of course! – it’s a fun fold! Take a look-see:
Hello hello! How goes your weekend so far? Wayne’s been busy – he got all the steel up on the sides of the garden shed yesterday – whoo-hoo!! And Finny and I had a playdate with his sister Scout – and Jax, Teddy, Higgins and Reba! So – big day here!
And then, last night – I got on YouTube and shared a cool fun fold – called an Exploding Box! I got to try one at our retreat last weekend – my friend Susan Stanley brought it as her shoebox swap – and I loved it! So…I made another one – this one using the wunnermus Fitting Florets DSP and the Framed Florets Bundle – you can get all these new goodies on 1 Nov! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy weekend-eve! Hope you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend. I honestly don’t know WHAT is on our playlist so…I’m just going to play it by ear! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
My card today is another CASE (I know – it’s like I’ve not had an original thought in my head all week!! 😉 ) – this one from my friend and upline Amy Koenders! Her shoebox swap card from the retreat last weekend – using the Brightest Beauty bundle – really inspired me for this one – but I used the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating Forever Flourishing Die set! And…the cool a la carte die set called Fabulous Frames. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Hawwmp Day! That ole MikeMikeMike just keeps showing up! 🙂
So – I have some exciting news…we decided yesterday that Wayne’s going to go down to OnStage with me in November and then – on the Sunday after the event – we’re going to drive the additional 2 1/2 hours south to Orlando and the Home of the Mouse! Yep – going to DinneyWorld! AND – maybe even to Universal for a day. Star Wars – Guardians of the Galaxy – HogWarts – Soaring – Mission to Mars – here we come!! I’ve been wanting to go back for a while and…this seemed like a great time to do it! Whoo-hoo!!
Okay. Back to bizness! Today’s card is a CASE of another card from this past weekend – and AGAIN from Karen Ksenzacovic!! Her card reminded me how much I love the Triple Time Technique. So…out it came – with the sweet Splendid Thoughts stamp set taking center stage. Take a look-see:
Good morning and welcome back to your week! I hope you had a great weekend and are raring to go for the work week!
My card today takes us back to my current favorite stamp set – the Soft Seedlings set! I mean – it’s hard for me to resist it! I used it this time around to make a clean and simple card – really letting that big Fall leaf take the spotlight. Here’s a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! We’re back in “last gasp of summer” mode here – nice for a few hours in the morning, but then…channeling a SAUNA around lunch. Yuk. AND – it’s getting dark earlier and earlier. DOUBLE YUK! But – dark early means cooler days are coming – which I am looking forward to – I’m anxious to start griping about the COLD – not the hot! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
My card today is not Christmas. Nor Fall. It’s all about gorgeous organic images of cool greenery and Calypso Coral-ery! Yes – I’m referring to the wunnermus Pretty Prints DSP. It plays a big role in the card – forming the base for the Nature’s Prints leaves – all cut with the bundled Natural Prints Dies. Take a look-see:
Good Monday morning, y’all! It’s Monday again and I’m at T-2 days until Amy arrives! Whoo-hoo! And T-3 before we head to the land of beignets! And coffee made with nuts. Hmmm. One is a donut – good. The other is coffee. From nuts. Chicory, to be more specific. I am trying to withhold judgment. But….coffee. From…nuts. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ I hope that in a few days I’ll be shaking my head in amusement at myself and buying bags to bring home in the People Mover. One of the many advantages of driving vs flying!
I’ve got a quick and easy – and suitable for ANYONE! – card for you today. It uses one of my fave bundles from the Jul – Dec 2022 Mini – the Brightest Beauty set with the bundled Golden Beauty Dies. And…the amazingly wunnermus Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. All in earthy neutrals. Take a look-see:
