Good morning and happy middle-of- May! Can you even believe it!? I can – because I have flowers coming on my tomatoes – and I put fly masks on the ponies for the first time yesterday. It’s summer, baby!! 🙂
My fun-fold card today features some seashells – so…a beachy theme. Sort of. Well – maybe not completely. I used the pretty Texture Chic Specialty DSP as the basis but…then I pulled in the a la carte Mini Pocket Envelope Dies and…the amazing Charming Sentiments bundle. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Saturday!! What’s on y’all’s agenda for today? Grocery Shopping? Laundry? House cleaning? Are you going to the Farmer’s Market? Working in the garden!? Whatever is on your list – I hope you have a great day doing it! We’re going to try to get the last couple three veggie beds tubed up for the automatic watering system. It’s…a process! But – we’re almost there and then we’ll be cooking with gas!
This afternoon I’ll spend a couple of hours in the virtual Incentive Trip “event” but…I’m planning to be done in time to get together with y’all over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel at 7pm Eastern! I’ve got a fun…fold…for you that I think you’ll like. Hint: it’s EASY! Take a sneaky peek!
Happy Friday, y’all! We’re on the cusp of another weekend and…Mother’s Day! Hope you did better than I did this year – I am fairly certain that the gift I sent will NOT be there in time. I’d blame the Post Office (that’s pretty easy!) but…since I didn’t mail it until Wednesday…it’s all on me! Hopefully she’ll give me a pass and will like it anyway! 🤦♀️
My card today reminds me of Maui. When we were there last year, we went on a catamaran to go snorkeling. On the way back to the marina – they shut off the engines and we went under sail for a while. It. Was. Amazing. And I want to do it again right now!! Since that’s not going to happen any time soon – this fun fold card from the Let’s Set Sail bundle with a little “sunset” and “ocean” courtesy of the Hues of Happiness DSP will be the next best thing! Take a look-see:
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!
As soon as I saw the colors in the sketch, I knew I was going to be working with the Symbols of Fortune Specialty DSP from the Jan – June 2021 Mini Catalog. Remember it? It’s easy to forget the beautiful things in there when we’re in the throes of the excitement of a new catalog launch, right?!? This pretty paper is gorgeous – and perfect with it’s coordinating Crane of Fortune bundle. And..I pulled out a goody from the new catalog, too – the aptly named Fabulous Frames. Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all!! How was yesterday – do you have lots of new goodies on the way?!? I sure do – a BUNCH of share paper that will be here on Thursday AND…my own new catalog order! I am a little afeared of how the house is going to look with all the piled up Stampin’ Up! boxes!
You might want to watch for a YouTube notification on Thursday…if my order arrives at any sort of decent time, I’ll try to go live and give y’all a look! Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel – and then select All Notifications (click the “bell”!) so that you’ll know when I go live! 🙂
Today’s card is another W fold – the first one I did a couple week back was in horizontal/landscape orientation – this one is in vertical/portrait mode. I used the new and amazing Nature’s Prints Bundle and Pretty Prints DSP to create this one. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Sunday and MayDay! Hope you’ve had a great weekend so far! We spent yesterday looking for water lines in the garden. We DID make a very big hole – okay…TWO!…but never found the lines. So – time for plan B for getting the waterers in the garden! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
My card today would be perfect for someone like my husband. Masculine – check. Can do anything…check. Enjoys Gift Cards…CHECK! I made this one – it’s a fun fold that is ALSO a gift card holder – handy! – using the cool He’s All That stamp set and the coordinating He’s the Man DSP. ALL of which you’re going to be able to get for yourself the day after tomorrow on the 3rd! Take a look-see:
Good Friday morning, y’all! Before we get going – I REALLY want to make sure that you see the AMAZEBALLS Joining Special that will be kicking off next week on the 3rd! It’s a great time to join the team (well – it’s ALWAYS a great time, but this is even more great!) – with the BONUS of a whole slew of free 2022-2024 In Color goodies ON TOP of your Starter Kit! So…be SURE to read all about it down below, okay? 😉
My card today is a cool fun fold – called a Double Box fold – that I first saw on Carol Buckalew’s blog site! She did an amazing card using the Nature’s Prints bundle. I decided to try the fold – but showcase the Tea Boutique suite, with the Cup of Tea Bundle and fun Tea Boutique DSP (all of which will be available to you next week on the 3rd. Hmmm. The 3rd’s going to be a BIG DAY! Take a look-see:
Happy Half-way-thru-the-weekend, y’all! Hope yours is going well so far. We were very productive yesterday – we raised the three massive trusses Wayne built for our new garden shed. Shed. Hmmm. Garage? Warehouse? Second home? It’s a little big, y’all – although, is there ever TOO big for a spot to keep all the paraphernalia that goes along with gardening?!? I will say no – and stick with that story! 😉
My card today is a another fun fold – and it’s really easy. It’s called a “W” fold (or an “M” fold, depending on your perspective!) and it’s really cool. This one uses the Framed Occasions stamp set (a new set – that I think is going to be a “fly-over” even though it shouldn’t be! – from the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog) and the Design a Daydream DSP – which is one of the Host-Exclusive items in the new catalog. It also features the Celebrating You stamp set and Beautiful Shapes dies – both available right now in the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini and BOTH carrying over! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all and happy Friday! We’re on the cusp of the weekend and I hope you’re making plans to do something fun! We’re building a new garden shed so that’s for sure on the list! And…tending the garden. And – I’ll be doing a little more craft-room tidying. So…it’ll be Monday before we know it!
My card today is a fun fold – and it’s SO easy – and it REALLY showcases one of the most beautiful papers I’ve seen in a long time – and we’ve had heaps and tons of gorgeous papers, haven’t we? This one is called Hues of Happiness and it’ll be available on 3 May with the new 2022-2024 Annual Catalog. And – for the art and sentiments, I tapped the Flowering Rain Boots bundle from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is going well. 🙂
I don’t know about you, but…the Hand-Penned DSP (which is retiring soon!) is one that I am really going to miss! It is so gorgeous – looks like I wish my garden looked! 😉 I paired it with the lovely Dahlia Days stamp set and its bundled Detailed Dahlia dies from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. And – cuz I really like fun folds, that’s what this one is! Take a look-see:
