Good Tuesday! Did you all have a great long-weekend? Ours was nice – went to our friends for dinner yesterday. Always nice to spend time with them!
My 2019-2020 Annual Catalog sneak peek for today is a fussy-cutting-Queen’s dream! If you hate fussy cutting…look away! 😉
I used the new Memorable Mosaic stamp set and the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP – both coming on 4 June – to make a fun card good for sending to…anyone for a special day and any day at all! Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday! The week is clicking by! Soon it’ll be Hawwmp Day and we’ll be on the downhill slide to the weekend! Whoo-hooo!
My card today is…another fun fold. In fact, it’s the same fold as yesterday – sorry! – cuz I needed another gift card for a co-worker leaving the program. And – I wanted to do something flower-dy and pretty for her. So…I used the same fold on the inside, but…pulled in the Floral Essence stamp set, plus some gorgeous painterly Perennial Essence DSP and a Bird Ballad Laser Cut Note card – all available on 4 June! Take a look-see:
Well. It’s here! This is the day I head to OnStage! Finally!! When I arrive I’ll head right to the convention center to do my dress rehearsal – gulp! – and then Amy and Sue and I will go to CenterStage tonight! Where…we’ll get an early look at the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog!! Whoo-hoooo!!
I made a fun card for you today – totally not my normal style – as the result of a color challenge. I used the Let It Ride and Crackle Paint stamp sets. Do not adjust your dials. I have taken over your screen. This card is exactly how it looks in the pictures. Black. And White. Take a look-see.
Well. Here we are. Monday. Again. Bleh.
That said – before our NEXT Monday together, I’ll be at OnStage. And ON our next Monday together….I’ll be sharing all the sneak peeks from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog! Speaking of – if you’re a current customer of mine, you’ll be on my list for mailing you a new catalog. I can order them on 2 May and as soon as I get them in hand I’ll send them out to you! If you aren’t a customer of mine – but would like to be – and aren’t already working with a Demonstrator! – place an order with me of $50 or more between now and 2 May to get on my mailing list! 🙂
My card for today is a super simple one – with a nice clean design! It uses the big and bold Life is Grand stamp set, plus some goodies here and there from the All My Love Suite! Take a look-see:
Good morning! Welcome back to the work week.
And – the beginning of the end of Sale-A-Bration. Can you even believe that?!? If you don’t have all your goodies yet – be sure to snap them up this week – and get DOUBLE Peppermints from me at the same time. Sort of a win-win, don’t you think?? 🙂
My By The Bay card today is one I wasn’t sure was ever going to do how I wanted it to do. Especially after I did the inner liner and realized I’d made it in the portrait orientation. Which was perfectly acceptable, except my card was in landscape, so…that pretty much wasn’t going to cut it! But – I finally got it done – and I think it turned out pretty much how I thought it would. Take a look-see:
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a color challenge, and I hope you’ll check out everyone’s projects when you’re done here!
I decided to use the color palette from the Best Route DSP – it just seemed like the right thing to do! Take a look-see and you’ll also find the soon-to-be-available Blended Seasons and bundled Stitched Labels Framelits and a little dab of Dandelion Wishes!
Hey, y’all! It’s way later on a Saturday (or any day, for that matter!) than you’re used to seeing me, but…I was tickled (and…amazed!!) to be invited by my friend Kylie Bertucci to be the guest on the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop!
Of course I said of course!! 🙂
For these hops, everyone who plays along CASEs a card they find on my blog. Including me! So – I went thru some past posts and found one that really appealed to me. I loved the DSP and stamped flowers and the layout!
And then I CASE’d it with current goodies! The centerpiece is the new Dandelion Wishes stamp set and some pretty Garden Impressions DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Today I’m fortunate to be taking part in a wonderful Blog Hop celebrating World Autism Awareness Day (which is…well…today!) 🙂
While I’m not directly affected by autism, did you know that as many as 1.5 million Americans today are believed to have some form of autism? And this number is on the rise. Based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Education and other governmental agencies, autism is growing at the startling rate of 10-17% per year. At this rate, estimates state that the prevalence of autism could reach 4 million Americans in the next decade. And, autism knows no racial, ethnic, social boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or educational levels and can affect any family, and any child.
So – to show my support on World Autism Day, I made a card using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and…Watts of Occasions! Take a look-see:
Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! It’s color week and we’ve got the full complement of hoppers today! Do be sure to check out all their projects when you’re done here, won’t you?
I pulled out a fun and pretty Sale-A-Bration stamp set – the Beautiful Peacock set from the first release – and combined it with a surprise addition to the SAB line-up – the wonderful Petals & More Thinlits. Take a look-see:
Can you guess the colors for this week’s challenge!? 🙂 Continue reading
Happy Sunday, folks! Hope this post finds y’all well and having a good weekend!
As is – mostly! – the norm, I’m sharing just a little glimpse at the card we’ll make this evening. I’ll be live on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page at 8pm eastern (that’s our normal time). The card uses the wonderful You’re Inspiring stamp set – and it pays homage to my brave little daffodils poking their heads up in the hopes that winter is over! Take a sneaky-peek:
We’re going to do some fun embossing in Copper – so I hope you can join me! Here’s a link! Continue reading
