Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade Baby’s Birthday Book Fold Easel Fun Fold

Posted on November 7, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! It’s Monday again, y’all! Hope you’re enjoying Daylight Standard Time. I love it so much!

Said no one EVER! YUK!! On the treadmill in the dark. Feed ponies in the evening in the dark. Final walk around with Finn – IN THE DARK! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Did I already say…YUK!?!

On a MUCH brighter note – I learned that the little baby brush (personalized, thank you very much!) was a BIG hit with miss Jules. Appears she’s walking around the house brushing her almost-luxurious locks with it – refusing to hand it over. Score!! 😉

I am hoping her parents liked the card that went with – and I’ll share it with you today! It’s a sweet little book-fold-easel card (one of my fave folds!) – and it’s adorned with an adorable heffalump from the Elephant Parade set and some Happy Forest Friends DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Cloudy But Sunkissed Birthday Card with Video Tutorial

Posted on November 6, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Hello hello! Happy Sunday! We had a great time yesterday – ate some cake, chatted with friends, cheered over the game! Had to leave a little before the game ended to come home to feed ponies. And Finn!

The card I made yesterday is a clean-and-simple little number – it’s a silhouette card using the Sunkissed stamp set – I was feeling in a tropical mood, I guess! And I created a cool cloudy-sky effect using the Basic Borders Die set. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate with Tags & Soft Seedlings Birthday with Video Tutorial

Posted on November 4, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – it’s T-7 days! To what?? Well – this time next week I’ll be on the way to FLORIDA! First to Jacksonville to meet up with a bunch of team mates for the 2022 OnStage Local and THEN – on down to Dinney!! Hard to say which is more exciting – I’m glad I get to do BOTH and don’t have to pick!

Betwixt now and then, I’ve got some card making and sharing to do with y’all – and today is no exception! Today’s card was inspired by my friend Darla Shelton who sent me a gorgeous card using my fave set – the Soft Seedlings stamp set! I used that set – plus the Celebrate with Tags bundle – to make my own version – suitable-for-a-guy! Take a look-see:

Since we’re getting close, I didn’t feel TOO guilty sharing another Sneak Peek with you!

Stampin’ Up! Sunkissed Let’s Set Sail Sunset CAS Birthday Card

Posted on July 27, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! How goes your week?! Can you believe that we’re almost all the way thru July? Where the heck is the year going, anyway!? Yikes!!

So – even though it feels like Christmas is GALLOPING towards us – I did NOT do another Christmas card today. Instead – I went back to my fave place – the islands! I pulled out the Sunkissed set and got a little tiny bit of help from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set, too. Take a look-see:

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 “Celebrate Summer”! 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!

When we were on Maui last “summer” – we went on a sail-catamaran for our snorkelling trip and it. Was….WONDERFUL! So…when I saw the theme – the Let’s Set Sail bundle came to mind right away! And I pulled some Hues of Happiness DSP for an ocean-y feel. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments, Rugged Icons & Campology with…Candy Canes?…and a Video Tutorial!

Posted on July 10, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Sunday from soggy Georgia! We’re for sure in the Monsoon season here in the south. Like…torrential rains – and then SAUNA! Yikes! We took all the paper shares to the post office this morning in a total downpour – but…they’re in the mail! And – WE were wet but THEY were NOT! Whoo-hoo!!

Speaking of – if you’re experiencing regret or FOMO that you didn’t buy a share – let me know! I cut a few extra Single Shares while I was at it if you’d like one. Drop me a line at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net!

Now, my card today doesn’t use any DSP from the Jul – Dec 2022 Mini. Instead – it gets all its fun from…the Candy Canes dies from the mini and the totally-a-flyover stand-alone die set called Rugged Icons from the Annual Catalog! The wonderful workhorse Charming Sentiments bundle provides the sentiment and – on the inside – go camping in the woods with the Campology set. 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 fun 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!

There’s an adorable stamp set in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog called Glad We’re Friends. And it’s got a fun little dog (pretty certain it’s a Corgi!) in it that came to mind the second I saw the challenge! I put him on some Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ DSP to make a sweet birthday card! Take a look-see:
