Happy Happy….three-days-before-World-Card-Making-Day!!
What? Expecting something else?? 😉
Okay – Happy HAWWWWMP Day!!
Better!? 😉
My card today is a CASE of the catalog. Cuz…I was playing with a challenge that called for CASEing the catalog! So…since it was focused on the Woven Threads suite…that’s what I used! Along with…the Here’s a Card stamp set. Take a look-see:
Hey guys! It’s the start of another week! I’ve got a Fun FUn FUN day planned! I get to take the van for an oil change.
AND – a tire rotation!
Ahhh – retired life is so so glamorous! 😉
My card today is all from the Annual Catalog – no Christmas or Holiday Catalog in sight!
Yep – I used the gorgeous Perennial Essence suite of goodies – the Floral Essence stamp set and bundled Perennial Flower Punch, plus some Perennial Essence DSP and the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set, to make a pretty birthday card! Take a look-see!
Well – here we are – it’s FRIDAY! And…the Friday before a three-day weekend! Whoo-hoo!
That said – if you’re in the way of that darned Dorian – I know you’re going to spend the long weekend battening down the hatches and preparing your home for his arrival! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! 🙁
My card today is from the Magnolia Lane suite in the 2019 – 2020 Annual Catalog – an obvious favorite, right? I used the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack and the Designer Series Paper, along with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and bundled Magnolia Memory Dies for this one. Take a look-see:
I got the inspiration for this one from the CASE The Designer challenge over at the Global Design Project this week.
And the layout is from the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge.
I started by matting a panel of the lovely Magnolia Lane DSP on a double-mat of Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink for the card front.
The circle sentiment is from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack – I just cut it out with a circle Stitched Shapes Die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Then I used a few Glue Dots to adhere a short length of Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon near the bottom of the circle.
With the Magnolia Memory Dies, I cut a couple of flowers from the Magnolia Lane DSP (that’s right – one of the dies in the set totally cuts out a beautiful flower in one of the papers! How cool is that??). I also cut out two larger leaves and two smaller from Mossy Meadow.
I adhered the leaves with Liquid Glue – then added the flower on the right with Liquid Glue. The second flower is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied a double-loop bow from Linen Thread and added it with a Glue Dot. A small bow from the Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon, attached with a Glue Dot, was next.
I added a single Pearl Basic Jewel and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia in Mossy Meadow to a Whisper White panel. Then I added a super sweet sticker from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a double mat of Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink, then into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope for another Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack sticker on the front…
…and more of the Magnolia Lane DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! How pretty is this soft and feminine birthday card, y’all!?? I LOVE that I can cut perfect flowers FROM the Magnolia Lane DSP, don’t you? And the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack is amaze-balls, for sure! Round it out with a sentiment from Good Morning Magnolia and…winner winner! I hope you like!

It’s getting pretty real, folks.
Mr. Reindeer is…nearing admittance to hospice, I’m afraid.
With – I’m askeered – a DNR order.
He recently underwent a Finn-induced evisceration.
Yes. Another one.
This one required a medically induced coma and several days in the ICU to get strong enough for the extensive surgery.
Finally – it was time.
Dr. Dad-Wayne mentioned that the next time – if Mr. Reindeer survives – we may need a skin graft.
But – he was able to cobble him back together – for now.
The Finn-Dad was SOOOOO happy!
Maybe too happy? No time in the recovery room for Mr. Reindeer.
No rest for the eviscerated!
He carried Mr. Reindeer out of the barn and then…
…gently set him down in the grass.
Turned out Finn had some “business” to attend to. Ahem.
But as soon as that was done – he was back!
Then it was time for the last walk of the night.
Are you guys coming?
WHHYY are you guys so SLOOOOW??!
He hurried thru the walk – on an obvious mission to get back to the house.
Only put Mr. Reindeer down when a PESKY FLY landed on his butt.
There are limits, people. Flies must be dealt with immediately!
But finally – FINALLY!!….
Back to the house…to begin taking apart Dr. Dad-Wayne’s handiwork! 🙁

Mornin’, y’all! Happy Sunday!
If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video – I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not – but would like to watch the replay – here ’tis!
I showed off several projects last night that have a common denominator…the brand new Mini Curvy Keepsake Die and bundled Tiny Keepsakes Stamp Set – both coming soon in the 2019 Holiday Catalog! Take a look-see:
On the video, we made the Come To Gather box…
…and the Snowman box…
I just showed the others!
The first is a Halloween box – using the Monster Bash DSP cut with the Mini Curvy Keepsake die – with a Spooktacular Bash tag! You can see how to make this tag on the video, too! 🙂
Then we had one for a birthday – with a masculine bent! I used the Come Sail Away DSP, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine, Sail Away Trinkets and a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set on this one. The sentiment was cut with an Ornate Frames die (coming soon in the 2019 Holiday Catalog). Y’all – this die set is SO handy to have!
Finally – I shared a little box that would be perfect for Mother’s Day, a Red Hat luncheon, Baby/Bridal Shower, church gathering – and probably tons more! It uses the new Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP, the Leaf Punch, some flowers from the Lovely Flowers Die set, a sentiment from Piece of Cake, some Noble Peacock Rhinestones – and the heart label die from the Tiny Keepsake stamp set.
So – I hope you can see that this wonderful little Mini Curvy Keepsake Die is an awesome jumping off point for tons and gobs and oodles of fun projects! And each box takes just one 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP or card stock, with no adhesive required for the box. Make the box lickety-split and then…decorate to your heart’s content! I hope you like!

Good morning – welcome back to the work week!! I hope it will fly as fast as I know the weekend went for you! 😉
Today is…NOT a sneak peek of the 2019 Holiday Catalog!
gasp!
Instead – I went back to a lovely little stamp set from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog called Friend Like You, which I paired up with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder. Take a look-see:
The color scheme is from the Color Throwdown challenge.
I started by stamping the wavy pattern from the Friend Like You stamp set on a Crumb Cake panel. I stamped it twice to get all the way across the panel – first in Balmy Blue and then, offset a little (down), in Granny Apple Green. Then I embossed the panel in the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I cut the panel down to size and matted it on Daffodil Delight for the card front.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the leaves/stem image in Granny Apple Green. Then I inked just the cattails (on a second stamp) in Balmy Blue and stamped it. Finally, I inked the flowers in Daffodil Delight (same stamp) and finished the image. This is a photopolymer set – so it’s fairly easy to ink specific parts of the stamp.
I added a couple of Balmy Blue dragonflies.
I used a Stitched Nested Label Die to cut the art then I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped a Friend Like You sentiment in Balmy Blue and cut it out with the small, narrow Stitched Rectangles die. I used Liquid Glue and a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere the sentiment.
I finished off with a few Woven Threads Sequins (adhered with Liquid Glue) and a bow tied from Granny Apple Green 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon (adhered with a Glue Dot) and the card front was done.
On the inside, I added a second Friend Like You sentiment in Balmy Blue on a Whisper White panel. Over the top, I stamped the leaves, flowers and dragonflies – just like I’d done on the front – but here I stamped the images off once before stamping it over the sentiment.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Daffodil Delight mat and into my Balmy Blue card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the flowers, leaves and dragonflies (in full strength ink) on the front…
…and on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! I love this pretty, any occasion, Friend Like You stamp set – it’s perfect for sending a little note to a friend for any day! I hope you like!

Good morning! It’s Hawwmmp Day!! Whoo-hoo!
Yes – I still care about these things. Just…not as much as I used to! 😉
So – my card today is going to be reminiscent of one I did a couple weeks back. It’s a special order (they don’t upset us) so…I pulled the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set and some Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and made another magical unicorn card for a tiny girl human headed off to school! Take a look-see:
Similar – and yet…different, yes? There’s the beauty of this wonderful craft of ours!
I started with a different design of the gorgeous Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and matted it on Daffodil Delight for the card front.
Then I stamped “Sparkles” (that’s what I named him) in the center of the oval in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. His mane is colored with the Light and Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends – plus my Merry Merlot Stampin’ Write Marker. I brushed his body with Frost White Shimmer Paint using a dried out Blender Pen.
Next, I grabbed the Lovely Leaves Dies and cut some Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose flowers, some Mossy Meadow Leaves, a few Very Vanilla “wildflowers”, and a couple of Gold Glimmer leaves and small flowers.
I made a flower with the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape – I patted the back of each “petal” with my Embossing Buddy so they wouldn’t stick together. In the middle is a Perennial Essence Floral Center.
I stamped a Leave A Little Sparkle sentiment in Merry Merlot on a strip of Daffodil Delight and bannerized the end with my Paper Snips.
Since I wanted a little more sparkle, I brushed the Very Vanilla “dandelions” with my Clear Wink of Stella.
Then I dry fit the collage and took a couple of pictures so I could put it all together. Thought you might like to see how it all went together! 🙂
I adhered everything with Liquid Glue – with the exception of a couple of small flowers around Sparkles’ horn – I popped those on with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some Noble Peacock Rhinestones and Rhinestone Basic Jewels – and some gold stars from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley (this one is coming on 4 Sept in the 2019 Holiday Catalog)!
Before adding the Pressed Petals flower – I used a Glue Dot to adhere a double-length bow tied with Linen Thread. I added the flower over top – with a little Liquid Glue – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second Leave A Little Sparkle in Merry Merlot to a Very Vanilla panel. Over the top is the sparkly-flourish in Rococo Rose. And a few more Most Wonderful Time gold stars just cuz!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Daffodil Delight mat and into my Merry Merlot card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Leave a Little Sparkle flourish in Rococo Rose and some gold stars on the front…
…and one of the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP papers – that coordinates perfectly with the flower on the front of the card! – on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Pressed Petals and Leave a Little Sparkle come together again to create a little girl’s fantasy! I hope you like – I am quite sure that SHE will!

Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime, summertime!
For us – summer is flip flops and shorts, watermelon and BBQ.
For a horse-dog, it’s…
…laying in front of the fan in the barn aisle.
Having a little puppy-picnic.
If you have horses – you know what those are.
If you don’t….you might not really want to know…. 😉

Happy Sunday, y’all! How goes the weekend?
If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay – which…includes a pretty extensive sneak peek at the goodies in the 2019 Holiday Catalog! – here’s the instant-ish replay!
For this one, I used the Band Together stamp set and bundled Detailed Bands Dies (you’ll save 10% by buying them as a bundle!!) to make a cheerful and feminine birthday card. Take a look-see:
I played along with this week’s CAS Colour’s & Sketches Double Challenge – has to use the colors and the sketch!
I started with a panel of Mint Macaron and stamped the big flower from the Band Together stamp set in Mint Macaron a couple of times. Then I ran it thru the die cutting machine in the Subtle 3D Folder.
I cut it down to size and matted it on Shaded Spruce for the card front.
Using the Detailed Bands Dies, I cut some Mint Macaron and Shaded Spruce leaves.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped just the flower (three times) and some leaves in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. When they were all good and dry, I cut them out with their matching dies in the Detailed Bands set.
I used Light and Dark Rococo Rose and Light and Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and leaves.TTFN
Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere everything onto the card front.
For the sentiment, I cut the band from a piece of Mint Macaron using the die in the Detailed Bands set. I saved the largest cut-out piece. Then I adhered the band to another piece of Mint Macaron with Liquid Glue and fussy cut it (to create a solid band). Then I used a little more Liquid Glue to adhere the large cut-out piece back into the middle of the die.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the band onto the card front – wrapped the ends around and secured them on the back with Glue Dots.
I stamped the sentiment from Band Together in Rococo Rose on a piece of Whisper White and cut it with the oval die in Detailed Bands. Then I used my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Write Marker to make faux stitches.
I adhered the sentiment with Liquid Glue and adhered a tiny Linen Thread Bow and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Band Together in Rococo Rose on a Whisper White panel. Then I inked the large flower in Mint Macaron, stamped it off once, and stamped it in the corner of the panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Shaded Spruce mat and into my Rococo Rose card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a couple of stamped-off-once Mint Macaron flowers on the front…
…and another one on the back of the envelope (I used my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write Marker to fill in the “gaps” between the envelope and the flap!)
Et Voila! Isnt’ this a pretty bundle? Band Together – with its big, bold flower and handy leaves, plus the wonderful sentiments – pairs perfectly with the delicate die cuts in the Detailed Bands Die set! I love the possibilities! Hope you like!

The Finn-ster yielded his spot today so that I could share a couple of pictures of one of my favorite people!
I met this young man almost a year ago.
The Big Ginger guy – one of my OTHER favorite people – is his Dad. Mom – who took the pic – well – yep. Another favorite person. 🙂
Fair to say that this is one of my favorite families – ever!!
So – this past week, while we were in Huntsville, we were lucky enough to catch them all at home – so…we invaded!
Little Ginger was teething and yet…barely a frown! One of the happiest tiny humans I’ve ever met, really! I got to spend about an hour with him in my lap and rocking him – and it was pretty danged nice, to tell you the truth!
The next day, while we were waiting for the “here’s-some-food-now-get-out-and-let-us-get-back-to-making-the-world-safe-for-democracy” event, I found something that simply had to go to the Little Ginger Man.
I do believe he liked it!
Is he not ridiculously cute??
Little Ginger Man hit the lottery in the gene game. He’s going to be a very handsome gentleman. AND – with his parents help, he’s going to be a real gentleman, in every sense of the word – his daddy most surely is! And his mom – well. She’s wunnermus and I’m so happy to call her my friend – and she’s raising her little man just right!
Can’t wait to watch him grow! 🙂

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 pulled out the Tasteful Textures stamp set and bundled Detailed Textures Dies and combined them with some Bird Ballad DSP and the sweet little bird from the Free as a Bird stamp set. Take a look-see:
…and…here’s our sketch! 🙂
I love the angled panels – one of my favorite designs!
I started with some flower-dy paper from the Bird Ballad DSP and matted it on Basic Black for the card front.
In the middle of a smaller piece of Basic Black, I cut the flower image using the die in the Detailed Textures set. Then I used a second piece of Bird Ballad DSP and that die cut panel to create the angled design – adhering them with Liquid Glue.
I wrapped a length of new Very Vanilla 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim around the panel, securing it in the back with Glue Dots.
From a piece of Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, I cut one of the flower – leaf – berry designs. Then I cut it down a little and adhered part with the Vanilla side up and a couple of pieces with the White side up with Liquid Glue.
The sentiment, from Tasteful Textures, is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the Bird Ballad DSP and cut out with a Stitched Nested Label die.
In the upper corner of the sentiment label, I stamped the feet of the bird from Free as a Bird in Tuxedo Black. Then I popped the label onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a seperate piece of Whisper White, I stamped the Free as a Bird bird in Tuxedo Black and colored him with my Dark So Saffron and Light Pool Party and Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Blends. Then I fussy cut him – just cutting his legs off.
I adhered the bird to the label with Liquid Glue – using Dimensionals under him as well.
I used a Glue Dot to adhere a leaf from the Bird Ballad Trinkets and a bow from the Very Vanilla 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim.
I added a single Pearl Basic Jewel and the card front was done!
For the inside, I inked the flower image from Tasteful Textures in Powder Pink, stamped it off once on scrap paper and then stamped it in the center of a Whisper White panel. Over that I added a second sentiment in Tuxedo Black.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat and into a Daffodil Delight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a full strength Powder Pink flower image from Tasteful Textures on the front…
…and more of the flower-dy Bird Ballad DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love how Bird Ballad – with its sweet flowers and chickadee (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!) and the Tasteful Textures bundle came together to create a unashamedly feminine card! I hope you like!

Have fun on the Hop!!

No FFFs on Blog Hop Days. 😉

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!

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 love the color combo for today’s challenge – and I know you will, too! I decided to ink up a new set called Rare Blessings – and I combined it with a bit of Magnolia Lane DSP and a Woven Heirlooms sentiment Take a look-see:
And – just in case it’s not totally obvious – here’s the color challenge we had!
I started with some appropriately-colored paper from the Magnolia Lane DSP and matted it on Petal Pink for the card front.
Next up is a piece of Basic Black card stock, embossed in the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, torn to size and adhered at a jaunty angle with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the big floral image from Rare Blessings in Tuxedo Black on Whisper White and cut it with a Rectangle Stitched Die. Using the “splotch” image in the set, I added some Petal Pink around the top of the image and some Mossy Meadow around the bottom. Then I colored the flowers with my Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with my Light and Dark Mossy Meadow Blends.
I wrapped some Mossy Meadow Linen Thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo pack around the panel, securing it in the back with Glue Dots.
I popped the panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped a Rare Blessings sentiment in Mossy Meadow. Over that I added the splotch image in Petal Pink. Then I cut it with a small Rectangle Stitched Die.
I popped the sentiment onto the card front with Dimensionals.
I tied a double-length bow with the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot. A Pearl Basic Jewel finished off the card front.
On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms set in Mossy Meadow on a Whisper White panel. Over top is some Rare Blessings splotches in Petal Pink. I also added a smaller Rare Blessings flower in Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Petal Pink mat and then 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 another Rare Blessings flower and splotch on the front…
…and some more Magnolia Lane DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Rare Blessings is a truly lovely stamp set – and works so perfectly with the pretty paper from Magnolia Lane and the fonts/sentiments from Woven Heirlooms. I hope you like!
