Good morning from NOLA! We made is safe and sound – if a little damp and a lot tired! – yesterday. Had some dinner at the hotel – Lobster Mac & Cheese! and then went to the first event of the conference for a little while. We didn’t stay long – headed up to bed to start the conference in earnest today! And the hotel has a great spot for breakfast…which we HEAR includes delicious beignets – so…we might not even NEED to go outside at all! Which may be good cuz…RAIN! ☔️ 🌧 ☔️ 🌧 ☔️ 🌧
I’m looking forward to seeing what Stampin’ Up! has on tap for us!
My card today is a fun-fold old stand-by for me – my fave of all time – the Book Fold. Aka the Side-Fold card! This one is all ready for Christmas – with Candy Canes dies cut right from the designs in the Sweetest Christmas DSP and a couple of Sweet Candy Canes sentiments. 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 very seasonal 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 I built this post, I realized I’d used almost exactly the same products on my LAST week blog hop card! Oh, well – I had a request for another Halloween card and…since the colors were perfect AND Halloween is like …right around the corner (🤔), I figured…better get it done! So…out came the Scary Cute bundle and the Aspen Tree Dies. This time, though, I played with the fun Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday, y’all! Hope your week is going well. I’m totally ready to go – all packed. Cards made. House tidy.
Bwahahahahahah!! Oh – I cwack myself up! Amy gets in around 1430 tomorrow so..I suspect I’ll be “ready” at about…7am Thursday morning! LOL!
My card today is a tropical paradise – on paper! I used the cool Countless Trees stamp set – the pretty Into the Clouds 3D Embossing Folder and a few Deckled Rectangle die cuts! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Sunday, y’all! Have you done anything fun this weekend? We bought some mini blinds.
Yes – the glamour is real! 😉
My card today is a subliminal plea for cooler weather, I think! I mean – I’m ready to start complaining about being cold!! I used the pretty Harvest Hellostamp set – with the cool Rustic Pumpkin Dies (get these as a bundle with the stamp set and save yourself 10%!). Check it out!
Good morning, y’all! How goes your weekend so far?
So…what are you doing on 1 Oct 2022? I ASSUME that you’re planning to celebrate World Card Making Day!? Yep – it’s OUR day of the year! And – Stampin’ Up! is doing a big Online Event for us ALL – Demonstrators and customers alike!! On top of that, we – the Inkin’ Krew! – are going to do a reprise of our yearly Facebook Live event – with giveaways and hourly card demonstrations. We’ll schedule AROUND the Stampin’ Up! event so…you can do BOTH!!
I’ve put all the info down below – so….take a gander and then…Save the Date!! I hope to see you then!
AND – I hope to see you TONIGHT, too! I’ll be live at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel! Got a pretty card for you that’s just in time for heading into Fall! Take a sneaky peek!
Good morning and happy weekend-eve! I hope you’ve got something fun planned – and the weather for it!
I’ve got a really elegant card for you today (she says modestly!) that uses one of my new favorite bundles – the Decorated with Happiness stamp set and bundled Decorated Pine dies. I added some pretty Festive Foils and a little shot of shimmer with the Glimmer 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper. 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 wide-open 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!
I decided to swing to Halloween again for this one (don’t worry – STILL not a scary card, read on!) and pulled out the fun Scary Cute stamp set and bundled Scary Silhouettes Dies. And…I also used the Aspen Tree die. Take a look-see!
And here’s our sketch!
…and I got the idea to make a stencil from the Aspen Treedie thanks to the challenge from Just Us Girls.
I started with a black-and-Pumpkin Pie piece of plaid paper from the Gingham Cottage DSP that I adhered to the front of a Basic Black card base with Liquid Glue.
From a piece of Basic White cardstock – the color doesn’t matter, this is a stencil! – I cut the large Aspen Tree Die.
I secured a piece of Basic White cardstock to my work surface with a little repositionable tape runner, then used Blending Brushes to create some sky – with Crushed Curry near the bottom and Gorgeous Grape in the top potion.
I adhered the finished panel to a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
From the middle of a piece of Celebrate Everything DSP (remember that this is a Host selection from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog!), I used the outer window die from Scary Silhouettes to cut the hole.
Then I adhered it over the top of the stenciled panel with Liquid Glue.
I used the same Scary Silhouette die – plus the detailed die that nests inside it, to cut a Gorgeous Grape decorated window frame. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered it inside the opening on the card front.
I used five of the bat dies and the house silhouette die from Scary Silhouettes to cut out the shapes. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the house and the three smallest bats. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensional pieces to adhere the two large bats to the frame.
I stamped the Scary Cute sentiment in Versamark Ink on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and sprinkled it with white Embossing Powder. Then I heat embossed it with my Heat Tool.
When the embossing powder was cool, I used Paper Snips to cut each word. Then I adhered them to the card front with Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Scary Cute sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added some bats from the set in Gorgeous Grape.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and into the inside of the Basic Black card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Gorgeous Grape bats from Scary Cute on the front…
…and more of the Celebrate Everything DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How cute…dare I say….SCARY CUTE!??!…is this bundle? I love that fun cut out from the bundled Scary Silhouette dies, don’t you!? And the Aspen Tree die made for a very cool stencil – I slid it inside the pocket with the die set so I can use it again in the future! I also don’t want you to miss getting a pack of the Celebrate Everything DSP – it really covers nearly every occasion for which you might need a card! Individual or workshop orders over $150 will make you eligible to pick it up – you might consider scooping up that last slot in my Online Host Club – that’s a sure-fire way to be able to get this pack and more! 🙂

Good morning and Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend and that the week ahead will be easy and also peasy for you!
My card today is quick. In fact, it’s so quick that I made three of them.
Okay – I did that because I made a Reel (aka a #short) out on Instragram for you and I borked the first go. Not the card – it’s WAY too easy to bork. The video. Half the silly thing was off to the side of the camera screen! 🤷♀️ Old dog. New tricks. But…I shall persevere. Heck – I learned to fly a C-5, didn’t I!? 😎😎😎
Anywho – the card features TWO free products! The first is a Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Amazing Phrasing. And the second is a Host-Exclusive Product from the Jul – Dec 2022 Mini Catalog called the Celebrate Everything DSP! Take a look-see:
Morning, my crafty friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend so far.

My card today debuts the uber-adorable All Bundled Up stamp set and some pretty wintery paper from the Lights Aglow Specialty DSP! A little texture from the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder is a great starting point. 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 sweet Theme 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!
So…when I saw the theme, I decided to use the Apple Harveststamp set. Hint – the theme is…HARVEST. And – we get a lot of apples here and…Harvest is in the name!! So…duh! AND – as I sat at my table – a wonderful new goody was calling my name. It’s called the….drum roll….Apple Blossoms die set! And you’ll be able to get it on 1 Sept (or…join the team and get it right NOW like I did!). Take a look-see at what I did with it!
Here’s our challenge badge.
And I played along with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge board, too. I went across the top and down the right column!
I started by using the grid mask in the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to color a Basic White panel with Petal Pink ink. Then I adhered the panel to a Petal Pink mat with Liquid Glue.
I used the new (or the WILL-BE-NEW!) Apple Blossoms dies to cut two Soft Suede branches. Y’all – check out this die set! It’s so cool – I love the flowers and leaves and branch dies! You’ll be able to get it by itself (if you already have the Apple Harvest stamp set) OR you’ll be able to buy it bundled with Apple Harvest – and save 10%! I’ll be sharing more info about the “Perfect Partners” promotion as we get closer! 🙂
I adhered the two branches to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the dies in the Apple Blossom set, I cut out three Basic White flowers, three Petal Pink flower centers, three Garden Green large leaves, two Granny Apple Green small leaves and a partridge in a pear tree…… 😉
That last one isn’t real!
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the two apple images from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Soft Suede ink. I colored them with my Granny Apple Green and Garden Green Watercolor Pencils – and the stems with a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker.
Here’s how I did the frame. I set all the pieces and parts in place – then set the 4th from smallest Stitched Rectangle Die over the top. Using a Basic Gray Stampin’ Write Marker, I traced around the edges – leaving a gap in the frame around the die cut elements. I removed the die and free-handed the rest of the frame.
I adhered the top apple with Stampin’ Dimensionals – then added all the other elements with Liquid Glue. The flowers are a two-piece element – Petal Pink small piece on the Basic White flowers that I’d lightly colored with Petal Pink using a Sponge Dauber.
On a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, I stamped the Apple Harvestsentiment in Soft Suede and cut it out with the label die in the Apple Blossoms die set.
Using two lengths of Parakeet Party twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Combo, I tied a simple bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
I used some Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment onto the card front – right over the tails of the bow!
I added Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the middles of the flowers and to the card front and the card was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Apple Harvest in Soft Suede ink on a Basic White panel. I added the crosshatch image from the set in Petal Pink – and then stamped it in two corners in stamped-off-once Petal Pink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Petal Pink mat and into my Soft Suede card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Apple Harvest cross-hatch image in Petal Pink on the front…
…and the apple (colored with the Watercolor Pencilsand Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker) on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Okay – I already loved the Apple Harvest stamp set – it’s just stinkin’ gorgeous! BUT – add in the ability to cut out all the stamped images AND extra flowers and leaves and branches – oh my! – with the coming-soon Apple Blossoms dies and…that’ll knock it outta the park! I also love the background created with the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush, don’t you?!
Let me know if you’d like to pick up this new die set – and any of the 5 OTHER new dies coming in the promotion! – right now! I can help! 🙂
I hope you like!
