Happy Happy Hawwmmp Day!! Hope your week is going well!
I might have mentioned a new kit the other day – here? On my Newsletter? Can’t remember! 🤷♀️ But – it’s called the A Million Thanks Kit and it. Is. Awesome! I may or may not have ordered THREE of them!! 😳😳😳
So – last night I opened up a box and…about 45 minutes later….
Good morning and welcome back to the work week!
How much cooler would that be if I was saying…Welcome to Maui and here’s your Ulalani’s Shaved Ice!? Yaaaaaassss!
Sorry – that was really random, right?!? 🤷♀️
So – you guys might have heard – somewhere, from someone, at some point – that I sort of like FUN FOLDS.
Yes?
Yes.
Which means I was really excited to learn that the April Paper Pumpkin kit is FULL of fun folds! It’s the Change is Beautiful kit and…it made nine cool and quick fun fold cards!
Happy happy Hawwmp Day! So…before we get going on a card – I want to let you know about a super-cool new kit that’s being released TODAY! It’s the Celebrate Today Magnetic Board Kit – an ALL INCLUSIVE, NO STAMPING kit that will let you make a beautiful and functional home-decor piece! I’m super excited about it – and know that you’ll be happy to get it! I’ve got all the deets down below – and you probably want to get it QUICK – get one for yourself and a few for your friends and family! I think it will be really really popular.
So my card today is another that’s not really my strong point – I mean – it’s got layers. And a collage. But…it’s a little more…modern feeling than my usual style. The Abstract Beauty Suite – with it’s fun 4″ x 6″ DSP and the pretty Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack, did the bulk of the work for me – while the Hello Beautiful stamp set and bundled Beautiful Shapes put a bow on it! Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday! I’ve got some big news for you – it’s THAT TIME OF YEAR. Yes, the time of year when I FINALLY get with the out-with-the-old program.
A well organized person would probably do out-with-the-old and THEN in-with-the-new, but…as you guys totally know…I did it bassakwards!
But – I’m remedying that starting RIGHT NOW! I’ve updated my Retired Products Shop with goodies from the Jul – Dec 2021 Mini Catalog and the Aug – Sep 2021 Sale-a-Bration! Get on over and grab your faves before they’re gone! 🙂
I know you’ve heard about our amazing kits – and I’ve got a fun one to share with you today. If you need birthday cards, the Light the Candles Birthday Card Kit is a really good choice for you!
Well – good morning and Happy Black Friday! Did you have a wonderful dinner yesterday and…are you STILL stuffed? I’d love to say that I am – but…nope. I was ready for breakfast this morning! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ But – we had a really nice time – saw the puppies – they have like…doubled – maybe TRIPLED in size! And we met Juliette Harper Martin for the first time. She is just as darling in person as she is on film. A leeetle bit noisier…. 😂😂😂 It was so nice to see everyone!

After dinner yesterday, we all took a puppy or two and headed outside for the doing of “the business”. 😉
They ran – they played – they chewed leaves (and each other). They….you know.
Jan is doing an amazing job getting these little messes ready for their new homes! She calls them all to her and has them sit, then gives them all a little treat! They are smart smart kids!
All that playing and learning resulted in….thirsty puppies!
And soon after, it all crashed. The whole shootin’ match!
Right into a pile of puppies!
It was a good day, indeed!

Good morning, y’all – happy Saturday! Now – usually, I’d give you a sneak peek of the card I am planning to make with you this evening.
Which would mean I’d need to HAVE a card to sneak peek. But – here’s the thing. I did something to my back yesterday morning. No idea what. Might just have been my parts realizing they’re 60? I dunno. I took a Flexeril and some Ibuprofen and then got in the only spot that didn’t hurt. Bed.
I discovered that Flexeril has the ‘benefit” of making me sleep all day, is totally crafty-mojo-sucking….and does little-to-nothing for my back.
The whole thing ended up with me NOT making a card yesterday. 🙁
That said – I am ASSUMING that things will go as they have in the past and I’ll find the pain has subsided as quickly as it came on when I get moving today. Which means that I WILL get a card made and I WILL be live on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page this evening at 7pm Eastern.
In the meantime..wanted to remind you that this is Happy 5th Gotcha Day for the Finn-man!!
Happy Friday – I hope your week has gone well and that you have something fun planned for the weekend. We have no plans that I know of – so…we’re winging it!
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live video, I appreciate you spending part of your week with me! If not, but you’d like to see how I made this card, here ’tis!
Well – Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day!! What do you call a camel with no humps?
Humphree, of course! 😉
That joke has absolutely positively NOTHING to do with the project I’m sharing with you today!
Stampin’ Up! has some amazing kits and they recently released a brand new All-Inclusive Kit called the Love, Santa Tag Kit! And – it has matching treat bags, too. Cuz…tags and treat bags just go together like peanut butter and jelly!
I picked up a couple right away and they arrived over the weekend. So I pulled one of the kits out and put it together quick as a bunny.
No. Really – it went together really quickly and it is UBER cute!
Second post of the day, y’all – if you’re looking for the card I posted this morning – here ’tis!
Wanted to let you know of TWO big things coming TOMORROW – 6 October (so you’ll be ready to roll!!)
Good morning and…let me be the first to wish you a very Happy HAWWWMP DAY!!! Yes! It’s Wednesday – and….THAT means that I only have two sleeps before I head to the airport to pick up Amy and Karen and then head up to the north GA mountains for our Inkin’ Krew Retreat! I am so excited to see everyone – and I’ve got a couple of ladies who are in my Crittters-N-Creatin’ Krew Team that I’ve never met in person! Plenty of time on Zoom – but…this’ll be the first time we’re in the same spot! It’s going to be a blast! I’ll share pics as I’m able thru the weekend!
Stampin’ Up! recently released a brand new All-Inclusive Kit called Christmas Whimsy. I ordered it first jump out the gate and when it came….I dove in! Remember – this is the one I think looks like it come straight outta Who-Ville!!
When I opened it up I found everything – and I do mean….EVERYTHING!…I needed to make eight fun Christmas cards!
THAT is the neat and tidy image from Stampin’ Up! Here’s my hot mess!
Great job, Mare! 🤦♀️
But – I popped all the die cut pieces, folded the two designs of card bases and opened up the instructions. I decided that at least for this first one, I’d do them exactly as the instructions said.
The instruction sheet is cool – they used pictures to let you know what to do and in what order – and (unlike some picture directions – you know the ones I mean!) – THESE actually WORK!
I mean – they even tell you how many stars or snowflakes to use and where to put the Dimensionals! 👍👍👍
I used the enclosed Night of Navy Ink Spot and the exclusive stamp set to stamp snowflakes and stars on the card bases – and stamp the sentiments. This is where I DID depart a little – I’m not a huge “Season’s Greetings” fan so I did them all with Merry Christmas. But…you can do whichever you prefer – they both fit on the labels perfectly (thanks, Stampin’ Up!).
There’s a roll of Gold Trim to use on each design – love the tag “tied” on (in truth it’s got a little Glue Dot and the tag itself is popped on with a couple of dimensionals!). And there are pretty blue foil snowflakes and stars adhesive-backed sequins to add, too!
The second design also gets a little gold foil star “sticker” added – only hard part here is making sure to get the ladder onto the card front straight so that it doesn’t look like someone is fixin’ to end up in the ER!
There’s even an “inside” sentiment that I used – and added some Night of Navy stamped stars.
I guess Stampin’ Up! has heard me say #nonekkidenvelopes cuz they included some beautiful envelopes with Gold Foil accents.
But…I added some stars to the front, too. Cuz….I could! 😉
Et Voila! In the blink of an eye I had eight fun full-sized cards – with insides stamped and ready – and decorated envelopes – all ready to get signed, stamped and mailed! No cutting (except for the Gold Trim!) required – and the easy instructions make this a PERFECT project for new stampers or kids or….pretty much anyone who needs really cute Christmas cards! It would be a GREAT activity to do together with family and friends – order a few kits and get to creating! 🙂
I hope you like!
And – this isn’t the ONLY kit that we’ve got available right now! Check them all out – we’ve got stamping kits and even NON-Stamping kits for you to choose from. Stop by the online store Kits Collection to pick up your kits! Don’t forget that the kits are only available while supplies last, so order quick to make sure that you get yours…and pick up some free Sale-a-bration goodies if your order reaches $50!
