Stampin’ Up! Grateful Bunch and Petite Pairs Any Occasion card

Posted on April 13, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! By the time you read this, I should be (all things being equal!) sitting on an airplane with Amy Koenders. Getting ready to wing our way to Salt Lake City. OnStage, baby!

Now, for those of you who don’t know me – I’m not really a “whoo-hoo”-er. I’ve been known to be a “WHOOP!”-er – but only at horse shows and only when my fave gaited Saddlebred is passing in front of me and I’m showing my support.

I. Don’t. Whoo-hoo. At least not “for real” – I might do it in jest…but that’s it!

Miss Amy said a scary thing the other day while we were on a Google Hangout meeting. It had to do with her plan to whoo-hoo on the plane.

A Lot.

🙁

I’m very much hoping she was joshin’ me! Otherwise, I’ll be obligated to disavow her. At least for the duration of the flight! Do lots of sleeping or pretending to sleep. Put my headphones in – hopefully there’s a good movie…

We’ll see what happens!

Any-hooch. Let’s talk about my card for today, shall we? 🙂

I went back to my favorite bundle in the Occasions catalog – the Grateful Bunch bundle. I played with some watercoloring and punching and and some Timeless Textures and then I added a sentiment from Petite Pairs. Fair warning….put yer shades on and take a look-see:

This is my interpretation of the sketch challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch, #167: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Updates for 12 Apr 16

Posted on April 12, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday, y’all! It’s that time of the week where I share the news from Stampin’ Up! and the new (and these are the LAST ONES!) Weekly Deals!

I’ll be ordering new 2016-2017 Annual Catalogs in the first week of May and sending them out around mid-May. Scroll down to see how to get your FREE copy from me. Then start your wish lists – ordering from the new catalog opens on 1 June!

There are some really fun products on the Weekly Deals….including the Acorn Punch and the Perfect Pines Framelits. The punch is awesome, cuz you don’t even need a Big Shot! 🙂 Here’s a couple of projects you could make with this punch (at it’s great sale price!) and it’s matching stamp set called Acorny Thank You…

Perfect Pines Framelits match the Peaceful Pines stamp set….and if you’ve got a Big Shot, look at some of the things you could do… Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Updates for 5 Apr 16

Posted on April 5, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Okay – lots to share with you today!

First – Weekly Deals are going to be going away after the 18th of April! 🙁 But, don’t despair, we’re going to be having periodic Special Offers – every couple of months, we’ll have a larger selection of goodies, with a larger spread of discounts. So, there will be some things with higher discounts than others! 🙂 Sounds good to me! Check out how many cool things are in this week’s deals! WOW! Some awesome Punches and Thinlits and embellishments…oh my! And it looks like Stampin’ Up! is in a Discount-Frame-of-Mind this week…they’ve added a bunch of cool things over in the Clearance Rack – check it! Looks like some Black Glimmer Paper, Framelits, Designer Series Paper and accessories from the Holiday Catalog are some of the goodies!

Next – Annual Catalogs are coming soon! If you’ve ordered $50 or more from me in the past 12 months – I”ll be sending you a catalog just as soon as I can send them out – probably around the first week in May. If you haven’t ordered from me – there’s still time! Just click on my Online Store icon over there to the right side of your screen and get shopping! Just be sure to check “Yes” at the screen that asks you if your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (that would be me!) can contact you! I promise I won’t bug you – but if you don’t select that, I can’t see anything about you – so…I can’t send you your ordering gift, sign you up for my Rewards Program or send you a catalog! Nuthin’! 🙂

And – speaking of Annual Catalogs – the official Retiring List will be released on 18 April – and will include the 2014-2016 In Colors and other items from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog. Once that hits the streets, the stock of 2014-2016 In Color ink refills and card stock is going to go away fast! So, take a few minutes – do it today, so you don’t forget! – to stock up on your favorite colors!! I’ve got a handy listing of 2014-2016 In Color goodies down below for you!

Stamps-N-Lingers TRIPLE Peppermint Rewards Ordering Special!

Posted on March 28, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Okay – I woke up this morning feeling really generous. I tried to decide what to do with that feeling, and I came up with this!

I’ve been offering an Ordering Special for a couple of weeks – but now I’m going to sweeten the pot!

Instead of DOUBLE Peppermint Reward Points – I’m going to make it TRIPLE!

So….what does that mean??

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up on 22 Mar 16!

Posted on March 22, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! It’s Tuesday and that means a new set of Weekly Deals. I see a couple of things that I need to order – how about you? Specifically – what a great time to replenish your stash of ~~Boo-Boo-Hiders~~ Pearl Basic Jewels? And I’ve been eye-ballin’ that Curvy Corner Trio Punch for a bit now – this may just be the time to pull the trigger! 🙂

Couple of things drawing to a rapid end…..

The Paper Pumpkin Special – where you can get a three month subscription for $55 (regularly $59.85). That’ll also get you an instant Sale-A-Bration goody for free. AND qualify you for my Ordering Special…

…which is also headed into its very last week!

Order $50 in product and I’m going to give you DOUBLE Peppermint Rewards Points! So – every $50 will get you FOUR peppermint points! When you get 16 peppermints, you’re going to get to pick any $40 worth of product(s) and I’ll ship to to you for free. Here’s more info on my Rewards Program.

But, in addition to the extra Peppermints, I’m also going to send you a MYSTERY GIFT. There’s no telling what that might be – so you’ll need to place that order to find out, won’t you? 😉 As always, I send a little sumpin-sumpin along to you as a thank you for ordering – something valued up to $8 that you get to pick!

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up on 15 Mar 16 and an Ordering Special!

Posted on March 15, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the new Weekly Deals! Check it – the Festive Flower Builder Punch is on sale! Remember – it coordinates with two different stamp sets: Reason for the Season (a beautiful Christmas set that helps you stamp poinsettia flowers) and Friends & Flowers (a fun set that lets you make….all sorts of things!). We all know these big builder-punches are handy – but they’re also spendy! So when they go on sale is a super time to scoop them up! These cards were made with the Friends & Flowers and Reason for the Season. And the Festive Flower Builder Punch!

It’s hard to believe – but we’re in the final two weeks of Sale-A-Bration! How quickly it’s gone by. There are three huge benefits that are going to go away at 11:50 PM (MT) on 31 Mar:

– EXTRA Stampin’ Rewards! When your workshop hits the $250 mark, then you’re going to be able to select an additional $25 worth of free product! Check out all the deets here.

– EXTRA product dollars to spend when you join us as a Demonstrator – whether as a business or as a hobby demo (you get that 20% discount on everything you order either way)! $99 investment gets you $155 in free product in your Starter Kit! That’s an additional $30 (normally – and after 31 March!), you get $125 worth of product. Not sayin’ that’s not a good deal – but no one could argue that an additional $30 of SEM (thats Someone Else’s Money) to spend isn’t awesome! 😉 And guess what? You still have no commitment whatsoever! So – what do you have to lose? Nothing! What do you have to gain! Tons!

– FREE products! When you order $50 in product (before shipping and tax), you get to pick a free item from the Sale-A-Bration Flyer!

– AND…..I have one last Sale-A-Bration ordering special for you! 🙂 Order that $50 in product (that gets you your free item) and I’m going to give you DOUBLE Peppermint Rewards Points! So – every $50 will get you FOUR peppermint points! When you get 16 peppermints, you’re going to get to pick any $40 worth of product(s) and I’ll ship to to you for free. Here’s more info on my Rewards Program.

– But Wait – There’s More! I’m also going to send you a MYSTERY GIFT (and it won’t be Ginzu knives!). That’s in addition to the much less mysterious ordering gift – that you get to pick yourself, so it can’t be a myst….oh, never mind! You know what I mean!

Remember – ALL these specials are only going on until Sale-A-Bration ends – just a short couple of weeks from now! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up on 8 Mar 16

Posted on March 8, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – it’s Tuesday and that means a new round of Weekly Deals are up for grabs! This week features embellishments and Framelits and Specialty DSP and the oh-so-fun Bow Builder Punch! Rhinestone Basic Jewels – one of the things I make a point to never (EVER) run out of! They’re so nice to add just a little touch of bling to a card (and they’re pretty handy for covering up….boo-boo’s! I mean…opportunities! 😉 ) And the Basic Black Baker’s Twine – easy to make a bow, goes with everything…what’s not to love?

Here’s a card I shared in the past with the Bow Builder Punch. The bow it makes is a great size to add to the front of a card – not too big, not too small – and it’s uber easy to make. Click here to go right to the post.

Now – on a different note – I don’t want to scare you, but….Sale-A-Bration is winding down! The very last day to reap the benefits of Sale-A-Bration is 31 Mar – which is, like, right around the corner! What are the SAB benefits??

A free item for every $50 you purchase! And boy are there a lot of fun things to earn for free – and those are going to be going going gone very soon – so don’t miss your chance to get your favorites! Like….
