Stampin’ Up! Brushed Bouquet Peaceful Moments Birthday Card

Posted on January 30, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – happy new work week! Didja do anything fun this weekend? We stuck pretty close to home – but that was a good thing! I spent some time on Saturday uploading all my Retired goodies from the Jul – Dec 2022 Mini and the Jul – Aug 2022 SAB catalogs (plus a few other things!). So – be sure you head over there and check it all out! The info is down below! 🙂

When that was done, I sat down to make a card to share – and I pulled out the new Brushed Bouquet bundle. It’s a beautiful image-only set, so…I also went to the Peaceful Moments stamp set for a birthday sentiment. Take a look-see:

Posted on January 19, 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 great sketch 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!

The sketch we worked with this week has one of my favorite elements – angled front panels! I pulled out my Country Floral Lane DSP and Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder for my panels – and then added a big floral from the Beautifully Happy stamp set. Take a look-see:

Posted on January 11, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well! I am – sloooooowwwly! – digging out of the hole I managed to get myself in this week (time-wise!). I do NOT know how I did it but…all of a sudden – yikes! So – today is my get-caught-up day. Wish me luck!! 😉

The card I made for you today really appeals to me – I love the moody dark card front courtesy of the FREE Favored Flowers DSP. The pop of white from the Artistic Die set – with the flower-dy Queen Bee set atop it just….works! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade Baby’s Birthday Book Fold Easel Fun Fold

Posted on November 7, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! It’s Monday again, y’all! Hope you’re enjoying Daylight Standard Time. I love it so much!

Said no one EVER! YUK!! On the treadmill in the dark. Feed ponies in the evening in the dark. Final walk around with Finn – IN THE DARK! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Did I already say…YUK!?!

On a MUCH brighter note – I learned that the little baby brush (personalized, thank you very much!) was a BIG hit with miss Jules. Appears she’s walking around the house brushing her almost-luxurious locks with it – refusing to hand it over. Score!! 😉

I am hoping her parents liked the card that went with – and I’ll share it with you today! It’s a sweet little book-fold-easel card (one of my fave folds!) – and it’s adorned with an adorable heffalump from the Elephant Parade set and some Happy Forest Friends DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Cloudy But Sunkissed Birthday Card with Video Tutorial

Posted on November 6, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Hello hello! Happy Sunday! We had a great time yesterday – ate some cake, chatted with friends, cheered over the game! Had to leave a little before the game ended to come home to feed ponies. And Finn!

The card I made yesterday is a clean-and-simple little number – it’s a silhouette card using the Sunkissed stamp set – I was feeling in a tropical mood, I guess! And I created a cool cloudy-sky effect using the Basic Borders Die set. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate with Tags & Soft Seedlings Birthday with Video Tutorial

Posted on November 4, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – it’s T-7 days! To what?? Well – this time next week I’ll be on the way to FLORIDA! First to Jacksonville to meet up with a bunch of team mates for the 2022 OnStage Local and THEN – on down to Dinney!! Hard to say which is more exciting – I’m glad I get to do BOTH and don’t have to pick!

Betwixt now and then, I’ve got some card making and sharing to do with y’all – and today is no exception! Today’s card was inspired by my friend Darla Shelton who sent me a gorgeous card using my fave set – the Soft Seedlings stamp set! I used that set – plus the Celebrate with Tags bundle – to make my own version – suitable-for-a-guy! Take a look-see:

I figured this would be a good day to go all-Autumn-all-the-time – our trees are going crazy in their Fall colors, so…I was inspired! I pulled out the Cottage Rose set – to do a little white-wash technique – and the Cottage Wreaths set for the main feature. Take a look-see:

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! It’s mid-week and we’re topping the hill to the down-slide to the weekend! Whoo-hoo!!

I bought a kit and when it arrived – I pulled it out to discover everything I needed to make 12 cards – 6 each of two designs – and the pretty Organizing notebook!
