Posted on August 25, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning from Las Vegas and the 2023 Stampin’ Up! Backstage event! We got here in fine fashion yesterday (whew) and got settled into our rooms and started to get our bearings. Wow! What a place this is! And their AC works GOOOD!! Check out down below – I’ve annexed the FFF while I’m gone for some peeks at the haps here in Vegas! 🙂

Today’s card harkens back to the Annual Catalog and showcases a Host Exclusive stamp set called Night of Flight! It’s backed up with images, a sentiment and die cut from the pretty Gorgeously Made bundle. Take a look-see:

Good morning and happy happy Hawwwmp DAY!! Whoo-hoo – we’re on the downward slide to the weekend! And – I’m just over 24 hours from zipping the suitcase and heading to the airport!

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Marvelous Nature for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 27, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with 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!

For me, the colors in our challenge this week demanded that I use the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ DSP. Which was not a hardship at all – it’s one of my favorite packs of paper! I decided to pair it up with the pretty Marvelous Nature stamp set. Take a look-see!

Stampin’ Up! Fresh & Cheerful as a Daisy Friendship Card with Video Tutorial

Posted on July 16, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We did spend some time in the garden yesterday morning – I mean… it was ONLY 80 at 9am so…

We planted three kinds of lettuce in Kratky bins and they’re busy germinating. Those will stay inside under lights for their whole lives – hoping to actually get some lettuce without the bugs having their way with it! And we got some more ancho pepper plants started (I hope!). Those will go in the garden in a few week (again – I HOPE!). And then – we retired to the AC! Where Finn had stayed the whole time – being a lot smarter than his parents!

So – my card today is a summery number featuring the Cheerful Daisies bundle and some Fresh as a Daisy DSP with a Copper Clay background. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Gingham & Sweetest Cherries Card

Posted on June 26, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Monday! I’m typing this up at 4am on Monday cuz…last night the power went out just as we got done feeding Cady – and didn’t come BACK on until after 10. Anyone who knows me knows I am in BED at 10 – getting up to do a blog post weren’t gonna happen! We had a pretty good storm – not as bad as the adrenaline-spiking “THERE IS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR YOUR AREA” messages made me think it would be but…I guess a tree went down somewhere – cuz it wasn’t just us.

I was happy we were each able to get in a “Navy shower” with the remaining water pressure – we’d been working outside and were…uhm…yucky. AND – the storm cooled it off just enough that we were able to open the house and – if we held real still – go to sleep. Just in time for the power to return and trigger the printer to come on, the lights in the kitchen, all the fans…. 😂. We WERE happy for those fans, though, for sure!

Long before the power went out – I made a quick card in summer colors featuring some on-sale Glorious Gingham DSP and a few Sweetest Cherries! Take a look-see:
