Stampin’ Up! Desert Details Ray of Sunshine with Video Tutorial

Posted on March 12, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – are you more tired today than you were yesterday? Did you set your clocks forward last night before you went to bed? I hate when I have to do that in the morning when we change to DST – I feel like…BOOM! Just lost an hour of my day! 😒. I personally LOVE Daylight Savings Time – those long evenings are truly my jam! I don’t like CHANGING back and forth so…since I am sure that “they” care – let’s DEMAND that THIS be our LAST time changing! Who’s with me?!? 😎

My card today features the gorgeous Desert Details bundle and Delicate Desert DSP to make a pretty card for a friend. I love this suite! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Beauty Leaf Fall in Neutrals

Posted on August 22, 2022 by stampsnlingers

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:

Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Frames Brightest Beauty Card

Posted on July 15, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning good morning and welcome to the brink of the weekend! Do you have some fun plans? We’re going to do a little tidying this weekend – Wayne doesn’t know it yet and it’s likely to be traumatic (Goodwill is involved and that just hurts him to his core). So…think good thoughts for him making it thru a little…purging! 😉

I’ve got a cool little card for you today – I’d call it clean-and-simple! Since we didn’t get a chance to make it together yesterday, I took a minute (literally!) to put together a short little video on how to make it – the link will be at the end!

I used the Brightest Beauty stamp set to create a very summer-y card (as opposed to the more Fall-like card I made with it before – you can see THAT one right here!). And I pulled out the amazing Fabulous Frames die set (an a la carte set from the Annual Catalog), too. Take a look-see:
