Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Valentine Video Sneak Peek and Blog Candy Winners!

Posted on February 1, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Weekend, y’all! Hope you’ve got something fun planned. I mean – I’ve heard there’s some sort of big…party?…this weekend. Like on Sunday.

Some commercials with some really good and tasty and fattening food. Interspersed with a sporting event of some sort…

Have you heard of it? 😉

Tonight, though – I hope you’ll be able to join me at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page for a quick video tutorial! We’re going to make a straight-up Valentine’s day card – being that it’s February and all! – using the new Heartfelt stamp set and the Detailed Hearts Dies. Take a sneaky peek!

I think you’ll like the card – so…I hope you can join me!

Tonight. 7pm Eastern. Right here!

Now – how about a couple of Blog Candy Winners?? 🙂 I have two Paper Pumpkin Kits to give away – and a bunch of you “answered the mail”. We had a lot of votes for a lot of favorites in the new 2020 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog. Thank you to all who took the time to think and sort out your faves – or admit straight up that you just could NOT pick one! 🙂

So – here we go!

Our winner for Kit #1 the December 2019 Something For Everyone Kit

is….

Comment #32 came from Debbie Love who wrote: “How about 3 things? Parisian Beauty Bundle, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Detailed Hearts Die.”

Next up, Kit #2 is the January 2020 I’ll Bee Yours Kit

And the winner is…

Comment #8 – from Carole, who wrote: “Hi Mary, I think my fav is Grace’s Garden; it has me in Spring mode and I love English gardens which it reminds me of. So happy your plants are growin’!”

Whoo-hooo!! Congrats, ladies! I’ll be getting in touch shortly via e-mail to get your mailing addresses and will send your respective kits quick as a bunny!

Hope I’ll see y’all tonight!

Posted on January 23, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a color challenge – 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!

When I saw the challenge, I just sort of fell on the Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP – it just made sense. Since I hadn’t used the Parisian Beauty stamp set, with its bundled Parisian Dies – I thought this would be a great time! And so…take a look-see:

Posted on January 14, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Luuuuuv! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

I used the new Pleased As Punch DSP for this one – it really did the lion’s-share of the work. This pretty paper is one of the goodies coming in the Coordinating Product Release that you’ll see on 4 Feb. I also pulled the Heartfelt Bundle (with the Heart Punch Pack) and the Detailed Hearts Die to help me out. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Flowers Are Meant To Be Mine!

Posted on January 26, 2019 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, my peeps! Hope your weekend is going well! Mine started out great – on Friday! – with the arrival of my housekeeper! She has recovered from her broken knee and been cleared to work by her physician! I am very happy that she’s better – I mean, broken KNEE! Yikes! She’s one of the hardest working ladies I know and I know it’s been hard on her being sidelined. Oh – and I suspect it’s been hurting like crazy! So – it’s good that she’s recovered as well as she has!

Finny was…beyond ECSTATIC to have her back! He was gyrating from nose to wiggler for about 30 minutes!

His MOTHER was also beyond ECSTATIC at the prospect of a perfectly clean house – SHE was wiggling from nose to toes on the INSIDE! 😉

My card for today is a quick and easy little number that lets some beautiful All My Love DSP just shine thru! I added in some sentiments from the Lovely Flowers and Meant To Be sets, plus a few little die cuts. Take a look-see:

Mornin’, folks! Hope your week is going well! We’ve had a heckuva cold front come thru – no snow or precipitation, but…BRRR!! Guess it’s officially winter-in-the-south. Sure did enjoy those 3 and a half hours of Fall… 😉

I’ve got a sneak peek of a lovely suite in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. It’s called the All My Love suite and it’s got two beautiful bundles – the Meant to Be and Be Mine Stitched Framelits bundle – and the Forever Lovely and Lovely Flowers Edgelit dies (all of which will be available on 3 Jan 19!). My card today uses the first bundle and some of the All My Love DSP. Take a look-see:

Posted on February 14, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! Hope you’ve got a little something fun and romantic planned, if that’s your thing. If not, and you tend to think of your significant other as your Valentine every day, then…today’s card will be right up your alley!

I used the Heart Happiness stamp set and two new goodies from the second Sale-A-Bration release (coming on Friday, 16 Feb!) – the Springtime Foils Specialty DSP and the wondrous Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF. And with all these fun tools, I made a clean and simple Valentine’s card for you. Take a look-see:

I loosely used the sketch at this week’s Sunday Stamps challenge for my layout: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Sweethearts, Baskets and Sunshine Wishes Love Note

Posted on February 9, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday, y’all! The week is drawing to a close and, for me, it’s doing it from Huntsville! Found out on Wednesday that I had to come over here the next day to get my computer updated and pick up my new work phone. So – typing this post on Thursday evening from my hotel in Huntsville. Will head home Friday afternoon!

Got some fun plans for tomorrow – a friend and I are going to a StampNStorage pop-up sale on the north side of Atlanta! 20% off everything AND 30% off Magnetic cards! And we can walk right out with them. Whoo-hoo!

Now – my card for you today has no stamping! A little bit of ink from a Stampin’ Blend – but…no stamps were inked in the making of this card! Just some pretty Painted With Love DSP, the Sweetheart TIEF (Annual Catalog), the Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF (be prepared to see a lot of this one, y’all! And – BE READY TO GET IT NEXT WEEK!!) and some die cuts from the pretty Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. Take a look-see:

I was playing along with the theme challenge from The Paper Players this week. Continue reading →
