Good morning and happy Good Friday! Hoping your week has been good and that you have something nice planned for the weekend and for Easter!
My card today is a Sneak Peek of a bundle from the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog – called the Little Monkey bundle! This is an adorable Punch bundle – and don’t we all LOVE punches?! You’ll also spy some new colors! Take a look-see:
Well. Here we are again – the work week is commencing! If that means YOU have to go to work today – I hope you have a great day! 🙂
My card today uses the Soft Seedlings stamp set – again – sorry! – and some Rustic Harvest DSP. You’ll also find some texture from the cool Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (one of my faves!). Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, my peeps! I hope your weekend is going well and you’re either getting a lot done or relaxing and enjoying some down time!
So – if you were able to join me last night for my Facebook live, I sure appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to watch the replay to see how to make this crazy cat card, here ’tis!
Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope the weekend is going well! We ran errands yesterday and I’ve got our monthly Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Meeting today – so, that cool! We’ve got a couple of fun projects using the Color & Contour bundle – one of my faves! – to do “together” (it’s a Zoom meeting since we’re scattered all over – yeah for the internet!!). We always have fun at our meetings!
So – if you were able to join me last night for my Facebook live, I sure appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to watch the replay to see how to make this pretty floral card, here ’tis!
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with today 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!
I haven’t played too much with the Tranquil Thoughts bundle – but…I should have been! It’s got such pretty florals – and the sentiment I used on today’s card is one of my favorite pairs! Take a look-see:
Well – it’s February, y’all! Half way thru Sale-A-Bration. And tomorrow is the first day y’all can order the new Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles. I know you’ve been waiting for those! So…scroll on down to get the deets and then be ready for tomorrow to roll around!
For today, though, I’ve got a simple card for you using the Lots of Heart Bundle with the Many Hearts Dies! And some True Love DSP! And no – it is NOT a Valentine’s OR Love-you-forever card. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
And I pulled the color scheme from the Color Throwdown challenge.
I started with a piece of polka-dot paper from the all-black-and-white True Love DSP and, using my awesome new Blending Brushes, I colored that panel with Gray Granite ink. Then I used a Stitched Rectangle Die and cut the middle out of the panel.
I adhered the large panel to a Purple Posy mat with Liquid Glue. And then I matted the die cut middle on Purple Posy and popped it back into its spot with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the plaid heart from Lots of Heart twice in Misty Moonlight. I used two dies in the Many Hearts Die set – a small heart die and the little die that cuts a perforated heart shape…that one fits inside the larger heart die – to cut two small, perforated hearts from the plaid images.
On a piece of Purple Posy cardstock, I stamped the Lots of Heart sentiment in Misty Moonlight and cut it with a small, narrow Stitched Rectangle die. Then I popped it onto the middle of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added the two hearts to the card front.
A couple three Purple Posy Playing With Patterns Resin Dots finished it off!
On the inside, I added a few Many Hearts hearts in Misty Moonlight to a Basic White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Purple Posy mat and into my Misty Moonlight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more of the Many Hearts hearts on the front in Misty Moonlight…
…and more of the Gray Granite-brushed True Love DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love the color-changing versatility of the black-and-white True Love DSP, don’t you?
And the Lots of Heart bundle is just as versatile – it’s NOT as much a lovey dovey set as it is for friendship!!
I hope you like!! 🙂

Last night as we were getting ready to head out to feed the ponies, Finn showed up in the doorway.

Good morning and happy Friday! It’s been a busy week here – catalogs getting mailed – Catalog Pre-Order – lots going on and I’ve felt like I’ve met myself coming and going! But…today???
Today is a GOOD DAY! Ms. Sonya comes back today!
Did you hear the choir of Angels singing?!? I sure did! I am so ready!
Finny is, too!! He’s missed his friend with the Bacon Bites! 😉
So – if you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! In addition to the project – I gave everyone a sneak peek at my second Pre-Order from the new catalog and….the new Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine! 🙂
I made a fun little treat box using products that you’ll be able to get on 5 January in the new Jan – Jun 2021 Mini catalog and 2021 Sale-A-Bration Flyer! The box itself is a Love You Always Treat Box – and it’s very cool! I decorated it with Berry Blessing DSP – which will be bundled with the Berry Blessings stamp set and, as part of the 2021 Sale-A-Bration, will be available for FREE with a $100 purchase! I also used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and bundled Strawberry Builder Punch. – these are in the Mini Catalog. Take a look-see:
I played along with the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge!
The Love You Always Treat Box goes together pretty easy – once you see it! Do take a peek at the video and you’ll see how easy it is!
Before I assembled the box – I stamped the long side with the leaf outline image from Berry Blessings (this is the stamp set that’s bundled with the Berry Delightful DSP in the Sale-A-Bration flyer!) in Granny Apple Green. Tip – the boxes have a “food safe” side – it’s kind of shiny. The OTHER side – kind of matte – is the one you want on the OUTside of the box if you plan to stamp it. Ink doesn’t dry at all well on the shiny food-safe side. Ask me how I know?
Actually – don’t ask. Watch the video and you’ll see! 😉
I also covered the two short ends of the box and the two long edges of the “sleeve” with some Poppy Parade-matted Berry Delightful DSP before I assembled the box.
For the top of the box, I cut a second design of the Berry Delightful DSP and then laid a strip of the plaid pattern at an angle across it – adhering it with Liquid Glue. I trimmed the excess with my Paper Trimmer and matted the panel on Poppy Parade. Hint: it’s a lot easier to decorate the top of the sleeve/box if you slide the box back into the sleeve – that makes it a little sturdier!
I wrapped a length of Daffodil Delight 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon around the diagonal DSP – securing it in back with Glue Dots. Then I popped the panel onto the top of the box/sleeve with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To make the strawberries, I stamped the outline image from Sweet Strawberry in Poppy Parade four times on a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and cut them with the Strawberry Builder Punch. I folded two in half and adhered the “fold” to each of the remaining flat strawberries with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the strawberry hat leaf image from Sweet Strawberry three times in Granny Apple Green ink on Granny Apple Green cardstock and cut them with the Strawberry Builder Punch. I used Liquid Glue to adhere two of them to the tops of my strawberries.
I made some leaves by stamping the image from Sweet Strawberry three times in Granny Apple Green onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and punched them out.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the leaves and the two strawberries to the top of the box.
On a piece of Daffodil Delight, I stamped the strawberry again in stamped-off-once Poppy Parade. Then I added the Sweet Strawberry sentiment in Granny Apple Green. I punched it with the punch and added a little strawberry hat leaf with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered it with a couple of stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Et Voila! This Love You Always Treat Box is really cool, y’all – it’s about 2″ tall and 4″ long – so it’s got a little room for some goodies! If you do as I suggest and put the non-food-safe side on the inside – then you’ll want to wrap your food gifts if you use it for that! 🙂
I think the Sweet Strawberry bundle – from the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog is going to be a lot of fun – and it’s REALLY fun that it totally coordinates with the Berry Blessings Bundle from the 2021 Sale-a-Bration catalog!
I hope you like – and are starting to make your list!
I mailed catalogs on Wednesday so…if you’re expecting one from me, be watching your mailboxes this weekend or Monday! If you’re not sure if one is on the way to you – give me a holler!

I’ve got an Online Host Club starting on 1 January (just in time for the new catalog and Sale-A-Bration!) and I’ve got openings. Whoo-hoo!!!
What is an Online Host Club? Glad you asked!
An Online Host Club lets you get some of the benefits of being a host – without doing any of the WORK of being a host! And – it helps you build your crafting tool chest a little at a time. While earning FREE goodies!
A club consists of three folks doing two consecutive three-month terms. Each person commits to buying $50 before shipping and tax each month.
Here’s how it shakes out…this is just an example! As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!
At the end of the club, I let each member select a stamp set up to $25 that I send to them for free.
What are the other bennies of a Host Club?
When you join the club – you’ll commit to the full six months – in two consecutive three-month increments. The launch of a new catalog and Sale-A-Bration is ALWAYS a great time to join a club!
Don’t delay – there are limited spaces available!
If you want to join us or if you have ANY questions about how it would work…please drop me a note at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net!
Poppy Parade Cardstock: 2 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ (mat for sleeve top); 1 3/8″ x 2 1/2″ (x2 – mats for short ends of box); 1 3/8″ x 3 7/8″ (x2 – mats for long edges of sleeve); Strawberry Builder Punch strawberries
Granny Apple Green: Strawberry Builder Punch leaves and strawberry tops
Daffodil Delight: Strawberry Builder Punch strawberry (sentiment)
Starwberry Blessings DSP: 2 3/8″ x 3 3/4″ (box top); 1 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ (diagonal strip on sleeve top); 1 1/4″ x 2 3/8″ (x2 – short ends of box); 1 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ (x2 – long edges of sleeve);

On Thursday morning, it was in the low 30’s.
AKA – too stinkin’ cold for me!
I pull on my sweatshirt. Buckle up my Carhartt bibs. Wrap my shemagh twice around my neck. Tug my knitted cap (thanks Mom!) over my head and ears. Zip up my insulated hoody and pull up the hood. Pull on my gloves.
Say a sort-of-dirty word under my breath and head out.

Just chillin’ in the….chill! Love it, Mom – and no – I do NOT want to come in!!

Good Saturday, y’all! Hope you’re ready for a great weekend – I’ll be hanging “virtually” with a BUNCH of Stampin’ Up! Leaders today – and that’s what I got to do yesterday, too! Awesome info being passed to us – using a platform that is ALMOST as good as being there.
I laid in some extra candy just to make the experience more “real”! 😉
The other day, I got my August Paper Pumpkin in the mail! It’s called World’s Greatest – and it’s full of….great! 😎…goodies to make 9 cards and coordinating envelopes!
Can you tell that one of the designs is a shaker card? Well…trust me on this. It totally is!
And they ALL have foil accents – which is too fun!
Lots of great sentiments for you, too – for the kit projects AND for future cards!
The stamp set – called World’s Greatest is – like ALL Paper Pumpkin stamp sets – exclusive to the kit.
The kit – again like ALL Paper Pumpkin kits! – comes with everything you need to make the projects – as well as the instructions! 🙂
Once everything is together – this is what you’ll have! And – you KNOW how I feel about envelopes! #nonekkidenvelopes 🙂
And – you don’t have to stop there – you could make a few “as directed” cards and then go off on your own. Here’s some ideas for you! How cute is that pencil?!?
You can check out the “official” Stampin’ Up! video for this month’s kit right here!
So – there’s what August looked like! September’s kit rolls in….FALL!
As the autumn season approaches, prepare to celebrate with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit! There’s so much to love about fall—some love the haunts of Halloween, many love the time to give thanks, and others love the changing colors and cooler temperatures. Whatever you love most about fall, September’s kit has everything you need to celebrate the season your way!
September’s kit is a must-have for those who love to celebrate all things spooky. But, for those who DON’T enjoy the Halloween haunts, the multi-occasion stamp set – combined with a variety of die-cut and reversible paper pieces – offers many ways to customize your fall crafts!
The Hello Pumpkin Paper Pumpkin Kit includes enough supplies to create projects celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the autumn season. Make them all the same, or mix ‘n’ match!
Here’s the deets….

On 10 August, the state of Iowa was hit with a derecho storm. If you have seen any videos of it – it truly looked like a hurricane had hit Iowa. Uhm – because it totally had – winds in the 100+mph range (that’s Cat 2 territory, folks!) With no warning to speak of. To say it was devastating is a bit of an understatement! 🙁
As a result of the storm, at least 43% of the corn and soybeans grown in the state were lost. Which will be seen in the supermarkets where you and I get our food! But beyond all that – many in that state are hurting, have lost their homes, schools and businesses and some are still without power (12+ days after the storm and with daytime temps in the 90’s ). Many farm families lost everything and are left with a huge mess to clean up prior to planting next spring. With so much destruction, they can really use our help!
There’s an organization in Cedar Rapids, IA, called the Iowa Giving Crew, a Cedar Rapids based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that’s helping to get power restored to those still waiting, is feeding those in need, provides 3 meals a day and is helping with the cleanup. They’ve got a Facebook page that you can see here with photos and details about the help they’re providing.
In an effort to help, I’ve set a goal of donating $500 to the Iowa Giving Crew.
There are two ways you can help me to reach my goal:
Shop Online: For any orders placed through my online store between now and 31 August 2020 I’ll be donating 20% of your merchandise total to the Iowa Giving Crew.
Make a Donation of $25+ directly to the Iowa Giving Crew:
As an added bonus, I’ll enter anyone who either orders $50+ through my online store between now and 31 August 2020 OR who makes a direct donation* to the Iowa Giving Crew by 31 August 2020 into a drawing for a brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!
*Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses. Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine. Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight MT on 31 August 2020 to be entered to win the machine. One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Tuesday, 1 September from all of the entries received.
Questions?
Drop me an email at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net with any questions. I so appreciate your help and donations to help the good folks in Iowa!! #iowastrong #derecho2020
Watch for more details – but…here’s the gist! 🙂
There’s lots of great reasons to join Stampin’ Up! and I’d love to have you join my team! See all the bennies here – and watch for more details as we get closer to September! If you’ve got questions, give me a shout and we can chat! 🙂

Most evenings – Finn does one of two things.
I ask – are you ready for bed or do you want to go outside?
He responds by either heading down the hall to the bedroom or to the back door to go out.
Okay – a lot of his answer depends on where he’s standing and where he’s “pointed” when I ask it! I think he goes out sometimes with no real need! 😉
On the nights he chooses to go outside – I put his blinky light collar on and tell him to hurry and come right back.
When he comes in he makes a beeline for bed.
Usually – I can snag him in time to take the blinky light collar.
Sometimes…I miss…
You gotta be quick – once he heads to bed….he’s like a HF on a laser! 😉

Morning, y’all! How goes your week? Ours is moving along apace – we’re watching the impending arrival of AUGUST! Can you even believe that??
August will bring a couple of things Stampin’ Up!-wise….
First – on 3 Aug – your chance to EARN Bonus Days coupons will come to an end! Then the next day, on the 4th, you can start SPENDING those Bonus Days coupons! Whoo-hoo!
And – on 4 August – the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog will be LIVE for you to order from! Yeah!! I know you’re excited and I’m excited FOR you! How handy that the catalog is ready to roll right when you’ve got Bonus Days coupons to use! 😉 Remember the more you spend between now and 3 Aug – the more you’ll SAVE in August!
With all that lead in – you MIGHT think I’ve got another sneak peek from the new catty for you today. But…nope. I’ve got a super quick and easy #simplestamping project for you! It’s actually kind of a two-parter. First, I made a cool (and QUICK!) set of ten notecards and envelopes using the Flowers for Every Season Cards and More set, plus the Four Season Floral stamp set from the 2020 Beginner Brochure! Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday, y’all! I’ve heard from a few folks who have received their catalogs from me – so…if you think you were on my list – be checking your mailboxes! The USPS moved them pretty fast! 🙂
My card today is one that I made with my Pre-Order goodies which, oh-by-the-way!, YOU could select as part of your Starter Kit if you join right now (instead of waiting until the 3rd of JUNE!!)! Ask me how!
No. Really. Ask me how and join the team!
You know you want to! 😉
Anywho – I pulled out the Field Of Flowers stamp set and combined it with some paper from the Flowers For Every Season DSP and the coordinating Memories & More Card Pack. Take a look-see:
Easy peasy – and not a fussy-cut in sight! 😉
The layout for this one hails from the As You See It Challenge this week.
I started with a Just Jade card from the new Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack.
For the card front, I matted a piece of Flowers For Every Season DSP on a piece of Bumble Bee card stock. Then I cut a coordinating piece with a Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I matted a strip of yet another design from the Flowers For Every Season DSP on Bumble Bee and adhered it with Liquid Glue. Then I wrapped a piece of the open weave ribbon from the new Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack around it – adhering it in the back with a couple of Glue Dots.
I cut down one of the small cards in the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. Then I stamped the pretty sentiment from Field of Flowers in Shaded Spruce and matted it on Bumble Bee.
I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a Bumble Bee 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dot and the card front was done!
On the inside, on a Very Vanilla panel, I stamped a second sentiment from Field of Flowers in Shaded Spruce. In the corner, I added the stems in Shaded Spruce and the sweet wild-flowers image in Crushed Curry. And…I thought I was done. But then…I spied with my little eye…the dragonflies in the set! Love dragonfly images, so…on they went in Tuxedo Black!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
The pre-printed envelope from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes got more of the Field of Flowers flowers on the front…
…and the flap is already decorated on the inside, so…done!
Et Voila! You guys – I LOVE this Field of Flowers stamp set! The big focal sentiment “always”, in the gorgeous font, is designed to work in combination with the other words and phrases in the set. And…the flowers are wonderful!
And there is no denying the beauty of the Flowers for Every Season DSP, is there??
I hope you like!

I’ve got a few options for you to pick from: a New Designer Series Paper Share, a New Embellishments Share, and an I Want It All Share (this one gets a free extra bonus!!). And there are even DOUBLE shares, too!
Shares are open to anyone – including demonstrators, so…head on over to my Catalog Shares Page and check out your options – then get signed up today!
The new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is GORGEOUS!! And – if you join right now – YOU could choose to select from the same Pre-Order goodies that I did to fill your Starter Kit!! That’s right – you’ll spend $99 and pick $125 worth of goodies!! Plus – you’ll get an eight-pack of the NEW Catalogs and brochures (that’s kind of a big deal!!).
As always, Starter Kits ship for FREE!! Just as soon as you get your Demonstrator ID – you’ll be able to save at least 20% on EVERYTHING you purchase! No obligation – no commitment – no requirement to sell a thing! Ever! I welcome folks with all kinds of goals and Hobby Demonstrators are a big part of the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew!
If you’d like more info – you can check it out on my Join My Team page – or…give me a holler. Would be happy to answer any questions you might have!
What is an Online Host Club?
Well – besides helping you to build your crafting tool chest a little at a time, a club also lets you get host benefits – without actually HOSTING a workshop!
It’s a six month gig – and it’s super easy! Get all the deets – including all the benefits of being in one of my clubs – right here! And then – get signed up. There aren’t a lot of spaces available!
