Sympathy for Loss of a Pet

Stampin’ Up! Full of Love Inspired Thoughts Sympathy Card

Posted on May 18, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope the week is going well for you. We’re in the midst of the Virtual Incentive Trip event being put on by Stampin’ Up – and it’s been pretty amazing so far. Today is a ZOOM networking session with other achievers and…a Game Show tonight! “So You Think You Can Craft” is the name and….it sounds like it’s going to be a fun time!! 🙂 It’s not quite the same as having all of us together – on a ship – or on Maui – but…it’s a pretty solid substitute!!

My card for today is a pet sympathy card for a friend of mine. I used the new Full of Love stamp set – and the carrying-over Inspired Thoughts set. And – I did some embossing with the Into the Clouds embossing folder. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets Comfort & Hope

Posted on March 26, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – and happy Friday! Hope your week was good and that you’ve got a good something planned for the weekend! Not sure we’ll have the weather for planting – but…at least we won’t have to water the garden. Maybe? 😉

I’ve got a pet sympathy card for you today – not cuz I need one right now but…because it’s one I like to have in my stash. So – I pulled out my go-to-Pet-Punch….the Dog Builder Punch (which is RETIRING and on sale for a WHOPPING 40% off!!), the Pampered Pets and Comfort & Hope stamp sets – plus Playful Pets DSP. There’s a couple of other faves in there, too – take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Vine Design Heal Your Heart Pet Sympathy Card

Posted on February 23, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday, y’all! We’ve had a spring snap (not trying to rub it in to my friends who are still cold and snowy!) and so it’s hard to stay inside and work! I even planted seeds inside to get them started. Too early? Well…maybe. But…couldn’t even resist!

My card today is one I did while we were chatting on my Zoom the Craftroom yesterday (I hope you’ll join us one day if you’re one of my customers who’ve ordered this month!! – and…it was nice to get a little feedback from my friends!). This is a pet sympathy card – nope – do not even need one right now (wheeew!) but it’s good to have one on hand, right? I used the pretty Vine Design Bundle, the Cat Punch and…the Heal Your Heart stamp set (free for a few more days until Sale-a-Bration ends on the 28th!!). All set atop some pretty Love You Always Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Vine Design and Pampered Pet Sympathy Card

Posted on January 25, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Well. It’s happened again. The weekend flew by and it’s Monday again! Can someone please explain to me why – even now that I’m retired – I still feel like I’m “going back to work tomorrow” on Sunday evening? And…am excited and all….whew, it’s the weekend…on Friday evening?? It makes no sense! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

My mom asked me for a pet sympathy card for a young lady who recently lost her dog. Not a kid – not an adult. A teenager. So…I scrunched my eyes and wracked my brain and decided that the Vine Design Bundle – with a little help from Pampered Pets, the Dog Builder Punch and…the gorgeous (and FREE!) Flower & Field DSP from the Sale-A-Bration catalog would be just the ticket! Take a look-see at what I came up with:

The layout for this one comes from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started with a Basic White panel that I embossed with a Stitched with Whimsy die and then matted on Basic Black for the card front.

I pulled out the Flower & Field DSP and cut three Flowering Vine label dies from one of my favorite designs in the pack. Remember – this beautiful paper is a FREE option for you to select when you place a $50+ order before Shipping & Tax during Sale-A-Bration!! Look at those gorgeous designs!!

I stamped the label frame from Vine Design in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White. Then I added the sentiment in Granny Apple Green and cut it with the label die from the Flowering Vine set.

I adhered the three Flower & Field Flowering Vine die cuts to the card from with Liquid Glue.

Then I punched a Basic Black dog using the Dog Builder Punch – and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I popped the die cut sentiment over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another piece of Basic White, I stamped a small flower from Vine Design three times in Cherry Cobbler and cut them with their matching Flowering Vine die. I added two to the sentiment label with Liquid Glue and the final one is popped on with a Stampin’ Dimensional up in the corner.

I added some Bumble Bee 2020-2022 Enamel Dots to the flowers and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to stamp part of one of the Pampered Pets sentiments in Granny Apple Green. I used a sticky note to mask off the bottom of the sentiment image so that I only got the phrase that I wanted. With the Dog Builder Punch – I cut three Cherry Cobbler hearts and part of a Basic Black Dog. These are adhered with Liquid Glue.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat and into my Cherry Cobbler card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Vine Design flowers (with Bumble Bee centers!) and some Pampered Pets hearts – all in Cherry Cobbler – on the front…

…and more of that pretty Flower & Field DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I think the combination of Pampered Pets and the Dog Builder Punch – with the gorgeous Flower & Field DSP – plus the Vine Design Bundle for a sentiment and that pretty die cut label – are perfect for this sympathy card.

I like that it’s not “IN YOUR FACE” with the pet piece but it’s quite obviously about a pet. I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral Gallery Sneak Peek Fun-Fold with Video Tutorial

Posted on January 1, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Happy 2021!! I suspect most of us are hoping and praying that this is a better year – on so many levels! – than 2020 was. I know – and you know – that it’s not going to change for the better overnight. But…perhaps the light we’re seeing at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train. Hope springs eternal. 🙂

My first card for the year comes with a video tutorial and, if you were able to join me yesterday on my You Tube channel, I appreciate you spending part of your New Year’s Eve with me! If not, here’s the replay! Hint: don’t be confused by the picture – I DID make a different card on the video. But…it means you get a two-fer today! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets in Grace’s Garden

Posted on July 3, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Well. Here we are. Friday! And – for some of you – today’s a holiday! Cuz tomorrow we celebrate the birth of our nation! I hope everyone has some plans – we’re going to TRY to go to our friend’s on Sunday for some social-distanced socializing! Fingers crossed we get our taxes done by Sunday so we can make that happen! I feel the need for a hamburger on the grill with friends! And deviled eggs! Yum! And I’ve been collecting some dessert recipes that I’m itching to make when I have more-than-one-mouth to feed!

Speaking of taxes (look back a few sentences – I DID mention taxes!) – I am SO sorry that I wasn’t able to get together with y’all yesterday! But – the COVID-push-back is almost over and…yep. The taxman cometh! So…gots to do what we gots to do!

My friend Jan – also one of the newest members of my Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew team! – came over on Wednesday and we made the card that I was going to make for you yesterday. In fact, she was going to come over and sit in! Maybe next week!

The card is a pet-sympathy card – using the Grace’s Garden stamp set and coordinating Garden Gateway Dies, plus the Pampered Pets bundle and a perfect sentiment from Peaceful Moments. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Tails Pressed Petals Sympathy

Posted on May 4, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday, y’all! Don’t know if you’re in a re-opening state or still in a state-of-self-isolation, but… I hope your week is shaping up to be a good one! Are you planning a Cinco De Mayo celebration? 🙂

My card today is one I hate having to make. My friend from work (pre-retirement!) lost his sweet German Shepherd Jenna last weekend. He was, understandably, pretty down in the dumps. So…I figured I’d send them a card and a little gift. I pulled out the retiring Happy Tails stamp set, added a Stitched Be Mine heart and set it all atop some retiring Pressed Petals Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one was inspired by this week’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.

And – it fits well with the Addicted to CAS Code Word challenge!

So – I started with a piece of wood pattern paper in the gorgeous Pressed Petals Specialty DSP (you guys – this wonderful paper is leaving us and is only available while supplies last – don’t miss a chance to get another pack in your stash!). I added a strip of the burlap design on the right side with some Liquid Glue. Then I matted it on Basic Black for the card front.

I wrapped a length of 3/8″ Denim Ribbon (this is sticking around for another year – YEAH!!) around the seam – securing it in the back with a couple of Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from Happy Tails in Night of Navy on another piece of burlap paper and cut it out with one of the hearts in the Stitched Be Mine die set.

With my Journaling Pen, I made a doodle-dot-dash border around the edge of the heart – then popped it onto the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

With the Dog Builder Punch (which IS carrying over!), I punched a Basic Black dog (I know – not a GSD….best I could do!!) and adhered him with a combination of Liquid Glue and Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Also using the Dog Builder Punch, I punched a little Terracotta Tile heart and adhered it with a dab of Liquid Glue.

I tied a denim ribbon bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot – and that finished off the card front!

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Happy Tails in Night of Navy on a Very Vanilla panel. I added the paw print in Terracotta Tile right over the word “heart”.

Get it? Paw print ON your heart?

Oh – check the gift…

Car Magnet. See a theme?! 🙂

I added some more Terracotta Tile pawprints, then adhered the panel to a Basic Black panel and into my Terracotta Tile card base, popped the card front on with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got more of the paw prints on the front…

…and some burlap paper – with more paw prints! – on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I am sorry to see Happy Tails leave us – it’s perfect for this kind of need, don’t you think? And Keep Calm and Wag On isn’t too shabby for this time in the world, either, is it??

And there aren’t enough superlatives for the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP – if you don’t have some – get it RIGHT NOW. If you have some, get MORE. RIGHT NOW!! Just sayin!

I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix

When I start dinner in the late afternoon, the first step is to tidy the kitchen.

You know – so I can mess it up again.

This involves putting away the clean dishes from the dishwasher and loading the breakfast/lunch stuff. It’s never a lot, but you know.

Finn watches very diligently.

He knows when I switch from “emptying clean” to “loading dirty”.

And the INSTANT I make that switch, he is right there lickinglickinglicking.

After dinner – he knows he doesn’t even have to wait, so he’s right there from the jump. He especially loves when I’ve used the griddler for like…a steak. Or a hamburger. Or asparagus. He’s not all that picky! 😉

Lick…..

Stampin’ Up! Let It Ride Flourishing Phrases

Posted on January 8, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy happy HAWWWMP DAY!!! Whoo-hoo!

I’ve got a clean and pretty-simple card today – it’s a sympathy card with the Let It Ride and Flourishing Phrases stamp sets from the Annual Catalog. And – I managed to find another reason to use the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini. I LOVE that die set! Take a look-see:

I started with a Very Vanilla panel that I embossed in the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and matted on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

The art is from the Let It Ride stamp set – I stamped the horse in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla. I colored him with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush – picking up the ink from the lid of the Crumb Cake ink pad.

I added a little green at the bottom with my Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend.

I matted the panel on Mossy Meadow and adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.

For the sentiment, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment from Flourishing Phrases on Very Vanilla, then I cut it with the wunnermus scalloped die from Stitched So Sweetly.

I popped the sentiment onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a double-loop Linen Thread bow with a Glue Dot and that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I used the Stamparatus to add a second sentiment from Flourishing Phrases in Mossy Meadow to a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the image a couple of times to get it darker. Over the top I stamped the trees image (just once!) from the Let It Ride set in Mossy Meadow.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the horse head from Let It Ride in Crumb Cake on the front…colored the same way that I colored the horse on the front of the card…

…and the trees in Mossy Meadow on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! These two sets – Let It Ride and Flourishing Phrases – while not necessarily designed to work together….really do, don’t you think? I love the pretty trees and the addition of the Pinewood Planks embossing brings it home. I hope you like!

P.S. Only a couple more days to get Double Peppermints!! 🙂

HOST CODE FOR 1 JAN – 15 JAN: B3JD39GG

Use this host code when you order $50 or greater and receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any item valued up to $10.00 in any active Catalog! That includes some of the Host Exclusive stamp sets! See my Rewards page for full details.

**Please note: Due to an increased number of orders that I’ve recently been receiving that have been in the $10-$20 range, I’ve had to change my host code reward to include only orders of $50+. Unfortunately, it’s not fair to those who are ordering $50+ and there are not enough host $$ generated from orders under $50 to cover the $10 gifts. Therefore, I won’t be able to continue to offer that bonus on every order. Thanks for your understanding!
