Stampin’ Up! Leave a Little Sparkle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 25, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s Hop is a color challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop!

I might have gotten a little jiggy with the color challenge (a LITTLE, I said!) – I was making a card for my Mom to send to a young lady who is starting first grade this Fall. I thought the unicorn and sentiments from the Leave a Little Sparkle set was perfect. And a unicorn in a bower of flowers (yes, I said “bower”) seemed like just the thing – so I pulled out my Pressed Petals Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

Here’s the challenge.

And I borrowed the layout from this week’s FUSION challenge!

I started with the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and matted it on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

I cut a strip of Very Vanilla and stamped the first sentiment from Leave a Little Sparkle in Mossy Meadow in the middle on the right side. Then I matted it on Mossy Meadow and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used SNAIL to adhere some Rococo Rose 1/2″ Gathered Ribbon across the top and bottom of the strip.

For the art, I stamped the unicorn from Leave A Little Sparkle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Very Vanilla and cut it with a large Stitched Shapes die. I colored his (her?) mane with my Light and Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends and the Rococo Rose Stampin’ Write Marker (that gives three shades of the same color!).

I used an old Blender Pen to color the body and horn of the unicorn with Frosted White Shimmer Paint. Then I brushed Clear Wink of Stella over the mane. I popped the oval onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut several flowers in Very Vanilla and Rococo Rose using the die from the Lovely Flowers die set. Each Rococo Rose flower got a Rhinestone Basic Jewel and the Very Vanilla’s got a Petal Pink Noble Peacock Rhinestone. I also cut leaves from Mossy Meadow and Gold Foil.

Then I used Liquid Glue and Mini Dimensionals to adhere them around the unicorn horn and on the side of the oval.

I tied a double-loop bow from Mossy Meadow Linen Thread (part of the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack) and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Over the top I added a double-length simple bow from Linen Thread. Finally, I added some gold stars from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley (2019 Holiday Catalog – coming on 4 Sept) – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added the second Leave A Little Sparkle sentiment in Mossy Meadow to a Very Vanilla panel. In the corners, I stamped the sparkle-flourish image in stamped-off-once Rococo Rose. I added another gold star, just cuz…

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a full-strength Rococo Rose flourish on the front…

…and more Pressed Petals Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I am hoping that this girly-flowerdy-unicorny card from Leave a Little Sparkle will appeal to the young recipient! Who could really resist a unicorn peering from within a bower of pretty rose and cream flowers? I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! On To Adventure – For Me!

Posted on July 24, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Morning, you guys! Happy happy HAWWWMP Day!!

It’s kind of a day of new beginnings here in Atlanta for us. My card today will give you a hint, I think!

I decided it was a great time to ink up a new stamp set called…On To Adventure. Take a look-see:

I played along with The Paper Players this week for this one.

I started with some Night of Navy paper from the Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP and matted it on Merry Merlot for the card front.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the cute golfer guy from the On To Adventure set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. While I had the stamp out, I also stamped it in Granny Apple Green on some Granny Apple Green paper from the Brights DSP.

I cut the guy out of the Whisper White using a Rectangle Stitched Die. Then I used my Ivory, Light Mango Melody, Light Smoky Slate and Light Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends to color him. I fussy cut the jacket from the Granny Apple Green image and used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the image. Then I adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the On To Adventure sentiment in Merry Merlot on Whisper White and cut it with a smaller Rectangle Stitched Die. That I popped onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used my Stamparatus again to add a second On To Adventure sentiment in Merry Merlot to a Whisper White panel. At the bottom, I added a second retiree in Tuxedo Black and used my Blends to color him! Do you like his Granny Apple Green/Night of Navy/Mango Melody outfit? 😉 He’s also got cool shades – Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker for those!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Merry Merlot mat and into my Night of Navy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the camera-toting retiree on the front…

…and I added more Night of Navy DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I think this is just the cutest stamp set – everyone needs On To Adventure in their tool box! Whether it’s for a friend or….for yourself! I hope you like!

P.S. Can you guess our new beginning? 😉

Stampin’ Up! For the Love of Felt Project Kit

Posted on July 23, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Hey, y’all – it’s Tuesday so we’re 2/5th of the way thru the work week.

I mean – if I tracked things like that.

Which I don’t.

🙂

My card today is actually cardS. Cards made using a seriously cool Project Kit from the Annual Catalog called…For the Love of Felt. Check it out!

This is a Project Kit – which means…you need to grab the For the Love of Felt stamp set separately.

FOR THE LOVE OF FELT CLING STAMP SET

Other than that, bring your inks (Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce) and adhesive – Liquid Glue, SNAIL and Dimensionals. The Kit includes the rest of what you need to make 12 really pretty cards – 4 each of 3 designs, each with super cute felt embellishments!

Oh – and it has a seriously sweet box to contain your creations when they’re done!

I pulled my kit out on Monday and put it together. Here’s the cards – and the envelopes are all decorated on the front and the back flap. You know how much I like a decorated envelope!

Now – I’m going to show you a mistake.

Bad demonstrator? Maybe. But…I seriosuly WANT you guys to buy this kit – cuz it’s totes adorbs – and I seriously want you to end up with 12 cards that you LOVE!

So. Here’s my mistake.

See the problem? Know why I messed up?

I didn’t read the directions. And I got in a bit of a hurry. So…on this last design, I stamped the leaves first.

The directions CLEARLY tell you to stamp the sentiment first. If I had done that…the leaves would be where they belong and not on top of the sentiment!

So. Read. The. Directions. And…heck – I’d even FOLLOW them! LOL!

For The Love of Felt would be a really cool gift for someone – an entire set of wonderful note cards and envelopes, ready to send, in a perfectly decorated box

Check out this quick video and then….get it for yourself! 🙂

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Here’s a Card With Apples (a sneak peek!)

Posted on July 22, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Good Monday, y’all! Hope you had a most wonderful weekend and are ready to Soldier thru the work-week! 🙂 Did you do anything fun to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Moon-landing? Like….write something while hanging upside down? Have a big ole glass of Tang? Eat some freeze-dried ice cream? 🙂

Yeah – I didn’t do any of those things either. I just thought back to where I was 50 years ago – and thought “Man. That was COOL!” Cuz…it totally was!

And – brave beyond measure. Even though it is NOT – it SEEMS commonplace to us now, but…can you even imagine? We had no CLUE what they’d find up there. Or whether they’d come home (like…. to the point that a speech was waiting for the President just in case they didn’t). But…they walked out there, strapped on a Saturn V and said….GO!

Wow. Just….wow. Body parts made of titanium wrapped in diamond!

On a much MUCH more mundane level, let’s look at a card, shall we? This one uses a fun sentiment set from the Annual catalog called Here’s A Card. And – I used the new Apple Punch and Come To Gather DSP (from the 2019 Holiday Catalog), too. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started with a piece of Whisper White and embossed it in the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder, then matted it on Pear Pizzazz for the card front.

Next up, I cut two Rectangle Stitched Dies from the wood-design of the new Come To Gather DSP (coming on 4 Sept!) and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using the new Apple Punch, I cut three apples from checked paper in the Come To Gather DSP. I also used the punch to make three Early Espresso stems and three Pear Pizzazz leaves. I used Liquid Glue to adhere the stems and leaves to each apple.

I pulled out the Support Ribbon dies and cut a few little hearts from Cajun Craze. I adhered them to the two apples with Liquid Glue. Then I stuck all the apples onto the card front with more Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from Here’s A Card in Cajun Craze on a piece of Whisper White and cut it with the small Rectangle Stitched Die. Then I popped it onto the middle apple with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish is off, I tied three small bows from Cajun Craze Linen Thread (yup – you read that right!) from the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack (coming 4 Sept) and adhered them with little dabs of Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Here’s A Card in Cajun Craze to a Whisper White panel. In the corner I added another apple – letting the edges hang over and then trimming the excess with my Paper Snips.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pear Pizzazz mat and into my Cajun Craze card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another apple on the front…

…and more of the checkered Come To Gather DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Oh my goodness – I love the new Apple Punch (it ALSO makes pumpkins!!) – and the Come To Gather DSP. You’ll be able to grab both of those – plus the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo – on 4 Sept. Unless…you join us now or on 1 Aug. THEN you could get them even faster! I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! It’s a Most Wonderful Time of the Year Sneak Peek!

Posted on July 21, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, my peeps! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re staying cool wherever you may be today! My Weather Live app yestedray informed me that the “Feels Like” condition was “A Sauna”. And it was right!! Yuk!

If you were able to join me last night for my FB live video, I appreciate it – hope you liked the card and the peek at a few new goodies in the 2019 Holiday Catalog! If not, but you’d like to take a gander at the replay, here ’tis!

I made a little Christmas-in-July card, using a couple of new goodies from the catalog – including the new Most Wonderful Time stamp set and Product Medley. PLUS the wunnermus new Tree Punch. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one comes from this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge.

I started very simply with a Whisper White panel matted on Old Olive for the card front.

I wrapped some of the Gold/White Tinsel Trim (one of the pieces of the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley!) twice around the matted panel, securing it in the back with Glue Dots.

With the new Tree Punch, I punched two Christmas Trees from one design of the DSP in the Product Medley and a third from the second design. I lined them up and popped them all onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On one of the included sticker labels, I stamped a sentiment from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set (great news! This stamp set is INCLUDED in the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley! Whoo-hooo!) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I used my Embossing Buddy on the back of the sticker to un-stick-ify it, then popped it onto the trees with Dimensionals.

I tied a tinsel bow around the wrapped tinsel and added three little gold stars (also in the Medley) to the tops of the trees and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used the pretty big tree in the Most Wonderful Time stamp set. I inked it up with Old Olive ink, stamped it off TWICE on scrap paper, then stamped it in the middle of a Whisper White panel. Over that, I added a second sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Then I added another gold star at the top of the tree.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to an Old Olive mat and into my Real Red card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the large tree in full-strength Old Olive – plus a gold star – on the front…

…and more of the DSP on the envelope flap. AND – cuz I smudged….the back of the envelope got a small Most Wonderful Time tree image in Old Olive.

Et Voila! LOVE this Most Wonderful Time set! So…remember what a “Product Medley” is – it has a ton of elements – stamps, paper, dies, and various accessories – to help you create lots and lots of wonderful projects! You supply the “staples” (card stock, adhesive, inks, acrylic blocks, etc)! And then let your creativity loose! I KNOW you’re going to love this one as much as I do – and I can’t wait until you can get your mitts on it in September! Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Check You Out Congratulations!

Posted on July 19, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday! I hope your week has gone well – we’ve been getting back into the swing of things. And trying to figure out what time zone we’re in! LOL!

Speaking of time-zones – if you live in Alabama – this is your Tax-Free Weekend! Read down below to see what SU! products qualify for this big savings – then get shopping (and earn you some Bonus Days coupons while you’re at it!).

I’ve got a cute little number for you today, using a stamp set that you may have missed in your early looks thru the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. This one is called Check You Out – and…it’s totes adorbs! Check it out!

How cute is that little owl?!?

I took inspiration for the layout from this week’s Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge.

And the colors are from The Paper Players color challenge.

I started with a Basic Gray card base and stamped it all over with books from the Check You Out set. I put all three book images onto an acrylic block, inked them with Blueberry Bushel and stamped them multiple times across the card front.

I used a piece of Granny Apple Green and a same-size piece of scripty paper in Blueberry Bushel from the 2018-2020 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP to create the card front, adhering them at jaunty angles with Liquid Glue.

I cut a Rectangle Stitched Die from Whisper White and stamped a Check You Out sentiment at the bottom in Blueberry Bushel.

I cut a length of Granny Apple Green 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon, doubled it over and used SNAIL to adhere it to the Whisper White panel. Then I added a Mini Library Clip at the top and popped it all onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the check-out card in Balmy Blue on a piece of Whisper White. I added the little owl in Basic Gray and a sentiment in Blueberry Bushel. Then I fussy cut the image (cutting off the extra “owl’ – what I really wanted was his feet! 😉 ).

I stamped the owl again in Basic Gray, added some Granny Apple Green spectacles and fussy cut him.

I popped the check-out card onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals – then used Mini Dimensionals and Liquid Glue to add the fussy cut owl. Finally, I tied a little bow from Blueberry Bushel 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon and adhered it to the Library Clip with a Glue Dot – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added another Check You Out sentiment in Blueberry Bushel on a Whisper White panel. I added a Balmy Blue mortar board (don’t need a graduation card? Leave that off!).

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green and into the Basic Gray card base and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Basic Gray owl, Granny Apple Green spectacles and a Balmy Blue mortar board on the front…

…and more of the Blueberry Bushel 2018-2020 In Color DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Seriously? How sweet is that little hoo-ter!? I just love the glasses, don’t you? Although it’s kind of a “fly-over set”, Check You Out is a versatile set, with sentiments for thank you, congratulations, graduation and “just checking up” cards. I hope you like!

He felt good enough last night to bring Mr. Reindeer to me… 🙂

He did mention that he thinks he’ll probably need to go back to see his friends at the vet. You know – just to be safe.

And get…pets and belly rubs!

Stampin’ Up! Pocketful of Happiness for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 18, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s Hop is a sketch challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop!

I decided to go “obvious” when I saw the sketch and pulled out the new Pocketful of Happiness stamp set and the matching Pocket Dies to make a birthday card for the challenge! Take a look-see:

Here’s our sketch:

I also pulled elements from this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge.

I started with some woodgrain paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and matted it on Soft Sea Foam for the card front.

Next up is a piece of Whisper White card stock that I embossed in the Corrugated Embossing Folder and matted on Soft Sea Foam – then adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

On a seperate piece of Whisper White, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the large and small floral images from Pocketful of Happiness in Tuxedo Black. I used the matching die from the Pocket Die set to cut the large image and I fussy cut the small flower.

To color the images, I used the Dark Stampin’ Blends in Petal Pink, So Saffron, Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the “pocket” and the smaller flower images to the card front. Then, cuz…hello? It’s me!…I stamped the large image again and fussy cut the dove, then popped her over the first dove with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

With the Well Written Dies, I cut three sentiments in Basic Black and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I added a gold Metallic Pearl to the card front – two in flower centers and one off to the side on the pocket. Finally, with a Glue Dot, I adhered a small bow tied from Linen Thread. And..that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to add a sentiment from the Pocketful of Happiness set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to a Whisper White panel. I also added the floral spray image and colored it with my Stampin’ Blends. I added a gold Metallic Pearl in the middle of the flower, too.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Soft Sea Foam 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 the floral spray image on the front…

…and more Pressed Petals Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love the florals in the Pocketful of Happiness stamp set – and the sentiments range from birthday to thank you, in lovely fonts. And the Well Written Die set is just such a workhorse – I really LOVE word dies! I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Modern Heart is a Well Written Thank You

Posted on July 16, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Well. Tuesday arrives. And when I look out the window I don’t see the Greek isles – or miles and miles of ocean.

And – when I go to get a cup of coffee, no one will admonish me to “washy-washy”!! 🙂

It’s truly back to the real world, my peeps! 🙂

My Katy is fine – looks like she got along okay in our absence. I wanted to thank Sonya for taking care of her, so…a card seemed to be in order! And – unlike the horse-care-thank-you…this one needed a cat. So…out came the Cat Punch. And I paired it up with the new Modern Heart stamp set. Take a look-see:

The color scheme for this one came from this week’s Sunday Stamps color challenge.

I started with a piece of Whisper White. In the middle, I stamped the bold “swath” image from the new Modern Heart stamp set. I stamped it twice in Bermuda Bay ink. With the tiny heart image, I stamped here and there in Pretty Peacock. Then I matted the panel on Highland Heather.

On a second piece of Whisper White, I stamped the large heart image in Tuxedo Black. Then I colored the various shapes on the inside with my Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends in Bermuda Bay, Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather, Purple Posy, and Pretty Peacock. Then I fussy cut the heart.

I used some Glue Dots to adhere two lengths of Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to the card front.

I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of my fussy cut Modern Heart and used them to wind several loops of Silver Metallic Thread. Then I popped the heart onto the card front.

I punched the cat out of Basic Black card stock using the Cat Punch and adhered her over the heart with Liquid Glue.

Using the Well Written Dies, I cut “thanks” and “You” from Whisper White. I snipped the “s” off of “thanks” and then adhered the words to the card with Liquid Glue.

I added some Noble Peacock Rhinestones and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the large Modern Heart in stamped-off-TWICE Pretty Peacock on a Whisper White panel. Over the top, I added a sentiment in Highland Heather. I scattered some tiny hearts across the panel in Bermuda Bay.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Pretty Peacock card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more hearts on the front…

…and I used my Stamparatus to add the Modern Heart images on the back as well!

Et Voila! I wasn’t sure about this Modern Heart set – but was intrigued by the samples in the catalog, so I added it to my stash! And boy, am I glad that I did! It’s obviously going to be a great set to use for all sorts of cards! I love it in the peacock colors of the challenge. I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix

The Man is home! He was happy to see us – for about 15 seconds, then he zoomed around the Puppy Tubs lobby sniffing every single sniff. And debating if he could get away with grabbing a bone out of one of the baskets! Even the pictures are blurry! 😉

He was damp – so he’d obviously had a play in the pool in the morning – and ready to get in the car (after we got his suitcase and food bucket!).

That’s not his suitcase – that’s my new Soda Stream!

On the way to the house, right at the mailbox, we saw a doe and two (tiny!) fawns! I was WAY WAY too slow to capture them on camera – but…the Man totally saw them!

Once we made it to the house, he unpacked his suitcase, putting Mr. Reindeer and Mr. Elephant away. Then…it was time for….

…a nap in front of the air conditioning vent. This travel stuff is exhausting – the jet lag is just horrendous! 😉

Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Posted on July 15, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Well – we’re home. Safe. Sound. Tired!

What’s up with being tired when you get home from a vacation? The struggle to rest is, apparently, real!! 😉

Thought today y’all might like a few peeks at the 2019 Holiday Catalog.

Yes?

Okay. Here goes!

First up the Toile Tidings Suite. Check out that cardinal – it’s a Dist-ink-tive stamp and is really gorgeous! There’s Designer Paper AND wrapping paper! The wrapping paper is thinner and comes in a handy 24″ x 36″ size!

Wrapped in Plaid. Certainly going to be a heavy favorite – check out that great punch! Oh. And PLAID PAPER!!

Let It Snow – complete with an adorable Embellishment Kit!!

Night Before Christmas – which includes a Memories & More Card Pack. And it looks to be amaze-balls! Check the matching envelopes…. 🙂

Brightly Gleaming – with the gorgeous Night of Navy and Copper accents! 🙂

Okay. Wait for it. Check out…Feels Like Frost! Yummy!! The paper….THE PAPER!!

Moving into Fall – let’s Come To Gather!

And – for those of you who like a little spooky…we’ve got a Monster Bash!

So – there are your sweet suites! We’ve also got a couple of adorable kits!!

There you go! I’ve got pics of the cards and goodies that were shown on stage and I’ll be posting them out on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page later on today. Do take a look…there were some great projects!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!
