Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Thanks for a Wonderful Season

Posted on November 23, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Well – good morning – and happy Monday!  It’s a short work week, with T-day on Thursday.  Do y’all have Friday off, too?  I hope so.  That might be the day you put up your tree, right?

Finny got some really good news yesterday.  Sonya is coming back soon!!  Next week – I’ll have a Sonya-clean house again – not a Mary/Wayne-clean.  These are TOTALLY different “cleans”.  Finny loves Miss Sonya, too (albeit for different reasons!) – and he’s super excited that she’s coming back!!  To be clear – his excitement doesn’t even come close to mine!! 😉

My card today took a step back to the gorgeous Poinsettia Petals bundle and coordinating Poinsettia Place DSP!  I made a cross-season card with it – sort of Thanksgiving – sort of Christmas – ALL pretty!  Take a look-see:

I played with two challenges on this one.  The first is the Festive Friday challenge – I got twine/leaves/wood/cranberry in!

And I also took inspiration from this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiment photo challenge.

I started with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder.  Using my Crumb Cake ink pad, I swiped it all across the embossing side of the folder then placed a piece of Crumb Cake card stock inside and ran it thru the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Then I matted the panel on a piece of Merry Merlot for the card front.

Next, I matted two pieces of Poinsettia Place DSP on Merry Merlot and then adhered them to the card front at a jaunty angle.

On a piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped a sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Soft Suede then cut it out with a Tasteful Labels die.  I adhered the label to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used the Poinsettia Dies to cut out one of the poinsettia flowers printed on the Poinsettia Place DSP.  I also fussy cut another inside-petals – and popped that over the die cut flower with some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I also cut some Mossy Meadow holly leaves and a few berries from Merry Merlot.  These are all adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I tied a loose figure-8 bow with some Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot.  Then I popped the poinsettia over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots – and the card front was done!

On the inside, on a Very Vanilla panel, I stamped the poinsettia from Poinsettia Petals in stamped-off-once Soft Suede.  Then I added some berries in stamped-off-once Merry Merlot.  I used a Blender Pen to pull some of the Merry Merlot ink into the berries – and my Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blend to color the flower and flower centers.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Merry Merlot mat and into my Soft Suede card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the stamped-off-once flower and berries on the front…

…and more of the Poinsettia Place DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  It’s hard for me to find a more-favorite bundle in the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog than the Poinsettia Petals and Poinsettia Dies!  Especially when you add in some of the Poinsettia Place DSP.

And…a Pinewood Planks 3D embossed panel just brings it home!  I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix 

Our local Puppy Tubs has had to temporarily shut down the “tubs” part of their facility – thank you, COVID….

So – we went to Tractor Supply to THEIR self-bathing spot.

That was kind of a bait-and-switch situation for the fur-bucket.

On the one hand he loves TSC. On the other…bath! 😳😳😳

I couldn’t get a shot during the bath itself cuz I was elbow deep in suds and dog hair.

But the aftermath – the BLOW DRYER! – I got!


Dad!!  I get Mom’s obsession with me being clean but….YOU TOO!?!?

We got MOST of the eau-de-dead-thing off but…there’s still a whiff here and there… 🙁

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs with Video Tutorial for The Paper Players

Posted on November 22, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – Leanne came up with a really fun sketch for us this week.  I know it’ll give your creative mojo a bump!  So I hope you’ll come and play along with us!

If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me!  If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!

I decided to play along with the Global Design Projects theme challenge this week and so pulling out the Warm Hugs stamp set with the Warm Wraps dies bundled in seemed like the right way to go.  A little Heartwarming Hugs DSP was the perfect finishing touch.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our Paper Players sketch – I hope you’ll come and play along! 🙂

As I mentioned, the Global Design Project was a theme challenge this week!

I started with three coordinating pieces of Heartwarming Hugs DSP – 1″ wide strips, cut into 1 1/4″ and 1 3/4″ lengths.  I adhered these to a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock with Liquid Glue.

Then I ran the entire panel thru the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the Dainty Diamonds 3 Embossing Folder.

On a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the Warm Hugs sentiment in Mossy Meadow. Next to it, I stamped the little coffee mug in Crumb Cake and added the fill image in Real Red.  A little Crumb Cake “steam” adds a final little touch!

I adhered the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/16″ Braided Trim around the panel.  Then I popped my embossed art panel on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the mug three times in Crumb Cake and Real Red and cut them all out with the matching Warm Wraps die.  They’re popped in place with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a bow around the Real Red trim with a shorter length of the trim – then added a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the middle of all the mugs…and the card front was done!

For the inside, I stamped one of the circle images from Warm Hugs in Mossy Meadow on Crumb Cake – then added the mug image in the middle in Crumb Cake and Real Red.  I added a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel to this mug, too!

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

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Warm Hugs mug on the front…

…and a little more Heartwarming Hugs DSP on the envelope flap!

Et Voila!  The Warm Hugs stamp set and bundled Warm Wraps Dies – along with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP – is part of the sweet Heartwarming Hugs Suite in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog!

I hope you like!

If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Now…take a look at what the rest of the team has to offer!  Then pull out your ink and papers and have a little fun challenge! 🙂

What is an Online Host Club?  Glad you asked!

An Online Host Club lets you get some of the benefits of being a host – without doing any of the WORK of being a host!  And – it helps you build your crafting tool chest a little at a time.  While earning FREE goodies!

A club consists of three folks doing two consecutive three-month terms.   Each person commits to buying $50 before shipping and tax each month.

Here’s how it shakes out…this is just an example!  As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!

At the end of the club, I let each member select a stamp set up to $25 that I send to them for free.

What are the other bennies of a Host Club?

  • At least a $150.00 Workshop order during EACH of your host months!
  • Which means you’ll have at least $15.00 of Stampin’ Rewards dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets, or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host months.  Stampin’ Rewards are Stampin’ Up!-speak for “free money”!
  • You’ll earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINTS on your Host Club Orders.  Each $50 order earns 4 reward points, a $75 order earns you 6 reward points, etc. You’ll earn at least 24 reward points during your membership, meaning you’ll automatically earn at least ONE $40 Peppermint rewards gift!  (Remember – when you gather up 16 Peppermints, you get to select a free reward gift valued up to $40!).  You can get more info about my Punkin’ Heads Customer Rewards Program right here.
  • You’ll receive a FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects and access to all previous tutorials for the duration of the club. Right now, there are over FIFTY tutorials available only to Online Host Club members.  That’s around TWO HUNDRED FIFTY not-seen-on-our-blogs projects for you to use as inspiration (and they ALL have all the card cuts and instructions!)
  • Access to my Weekly Zoom The Craftroom online Zoom Party – where you can come craft and chat with me and other customers! YEP – THIS IS NEW!!
  • FREE catalogs during your membership term
  • FREE shipping in your TWO Host Months
  • A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25 at the end of each “term”, any current set (excluding host sets)!
  • At the end of the full 6 months, you’ll get first dibs at signing up for the next 6 month term!

When you join the club – you’ll commit to the full six months – in two consecutive three-month increments.   This is a great time to join a club – with the pending release of the 2021 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION fixin’ to start in January, too!

Don’t delay – there are limited spaces available!

If you want to join us or if you have ANY questions about how it would work…please drop me a note at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net!

Finn Fan Fix 

Friday was Finn’s semi-Annual Checkup.

Unlike most dogs I’ve known – Finn LOVES the vet.

He loves the vet – and the techs – and the receptionists – and the clients – and…well.  Pretty much anything associated with the vet!

The new COVID protocol is….I wait in the exam room and he goes back to get his shots, blood draw, weight, and mani/pedi.

Then he comes back in and we wait for the vet to come tell us the findings!

You’ll be glad to know that his eyes are bright and his teeth good.  Heart – lungs – belly…all there.  And clear and strong and soft (you decide which is which but…it’s all good!).  Got his bloodwork back on Saturday and…all normal!

He studied good for this test!  Good boy, Finn – well done!!

Next up?  Get rid of that SMELL! 😳😳

Finn Fan Fix 

On Thursday morning, I picked the bulk of the remaining peppers on my plants in advance of “winter”.

As I walked back around to the stalls to clean I saw….a mountain goat.

Oh wait….not a mountain goat!

I was a little taken aback.  Hadn’t seen him climb up there before. 😉

I asked him what he was doing.

Crickets.

No time to dog-splain to the mom.

He had other dog things to do.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Bundle Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Posted on November 20, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday!  I’m not gonna fib ya – it’s taken me a minute to get all the way back in the swing.  Which…makes it sound like I’m “back” in the swing.  I’m getting there – but… you’d think I was gone for a month instead of 4 days.  Maybe Finny was on to something! 😳

If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! 🙂

This card is a sneak peek of the new Garden Wishes stamp set and bundled Dandy Wishes dies….with another look the Dandy Garden DSP!  I LOVE this new set – in fact, it might well be my fave in the new 2021 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog!

I started with a piece of the Dandy Gardens DSP that I matted on Blackberry Bliss for the card front.  Then I cut a Rectangle Stitched Die from a second design and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I cut a large oval Stitched Shapes die from Whisper White and used the new – and AMAZEBALLS! – new Blending Brushes (you’ll be able to get these on 5 Jan 2020 in the new catalog!) – to color the oval with Bumble Bee and Calypso Coral ink.

I stamped a Garden Wishes sentiment and a few of the little dandelion do-ha’s in Blackberry Bliss.  Just above the sentiment, I added the uber-cute bee in Tuxedo Black.  I colored the body of the bee with my Bumble Bee Stampin’ Write Marker and brushed some Clear Wink of Stella on his wings.

I popped the oval onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then I added a Blackberry Bliss Dandy Wishes (bundled with Garden Wishes for a 10% savings and available on 5 Jan) dandelion with Liquid Glue.

Using the dies in Dandy Wishes,  I cut two Old Olive and two Mossy Meadow leaves.

I used Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the leaves in around the oval.

Finally, I tied two lengths of new Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (coming on 5 Jan) into a bow, adhered it with a Glue Dot, and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a Garden Wishes dandelion in Blackberry Bliss to a Whisper White panel.  Then I stamped the little bee again in Tuxedo Black (colored with the Bumble Bee Marker and Clear Wink of Stella).  Behind the bee, in stamped-off-once Bumble Bee ink, I added the bee-trail image from Garden Wishes!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat and into my Calypso Coral card base (or…a Bumble Bee card base like I did on my video) and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Garden Wishes images on the front…

…and added some Dandy Garden DSP to the envelope flap.


 

Here’s how the card looks on a Bumble Bee card base! 🙂

Et Voila!  I know – it’s an amazingly cool new bundle, right?  Garden Wishes and the bundled Dandy Wishes Dies is part of the new Dandy Garden Suite – coming to you on 5 Jan 2020!  I love this stamp set – the images and sentiments are gorgeous.  And the die set…well.  So cool!

I hope you like!

Now – not for nothin’ – you COULD pick up this bundle – plus a lot of OTHER new goodies! – starting in December!  Yep – it’s true.  Join the team in December and you can pick from the Demonstrator pre-order list to fill you new Starter Kit!  You’ll pay just $99 + tax and get $125 of Stampin’ Up goodies and FREE SHIPPING!  Holler at me if you’re thinking this would be a good idea – I’d love to have you Join My Team!

Online Host Club Openings – and a New Customer Bonus!

I’ve got openings in my Online Host Club starting on 1 Dec – and new little bonus for my Customers – which will ALSO be one of the new benefits of being in an Online Host Club!  Whoo-hoo!

What is an Online Host Club?  Glad you asked!

An Online Host Club lets you get some of the benefits of being a host – without doing any of the WORK of being a host!  And – it helps you build your crafting tool chest a little at a time.  While earning FREE goodies!

A club consists of three folks doing two consecutive three-month terms.   Each person commits to buying $50 before shipping and tax each month.

Here’s how it shakes out…this is just an example!  As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!

At the end of the club, I let each member select a stamp set up to $25 that I send to them for free.

What are the other bennies of a Host Club?

  • At least a $150.00 Workshop order during EACH of your host months!
  • Which means you’ll have at least $15.00 of Stampin’ Rewards dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets, or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host months.  Stampin’ Rewards are Stampin’ Up!-speak for “free money”!
  • You’ll earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINTS on your Host Club Orders.  Each $50 order earns 4 reward points, a $75 order earns you 6 reward points, etc. You’ll earn at least 24 reward points during your membership, meaning you’ll automatically earn at least ONE $40 Peppermint rewards gift!  (Remember – when you gather up 16 Peppermints, you get to select a free reward gift valued up to $40!).  You can get more info about my Punkin’ Heads Customer Rewards Program right here.
  • You’ll receive a FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects and access to all previous tutorials for the duration of the club. Right now, there are over FIFTY tutorials available only to Online Host Club members.  That’s around TWO HUNDRED FIFTY not-seen-on-our-blogs projects for you to use as inspiration (and they ALL have all the card cuts and instructions!)
  • Access to my Weekly Zoom The Craftroom online Zoom Party – where you can come craft and chat with me and other customers! YEP – THIS IS NEW!!
  • FREE catalogs during your membership term
  • FREE shipping in your TWO Host Months
  • A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25 at the end of each “term”, any current set (excluding host sets)!
  • At the end of the full 6 months, you’ll get first dibs at signing up for the next 6 month term!

When you join the club – you’ll commit to the full six months – in two consecutive three-month increments.   This is a great time to join a club – with the pending release of the 2021 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION fixin’ to start in January, too!

Don’t delay – there are limited spaces available!

If you want to join us or if you have ANY questions about how it would work…please drop me a note at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net!

Now – the new Customer Bonus!

So – I’m setting up a “ZOOM The Craftroom” time with me every week!  Every Monday, I’ll be in my craft room doing…something!… and you can pop in and we’ll craft together and chat or…whatever!  Very casual – no makeup required (I for sure won’t have any on!).  It’s a great time to ask questions or get help with problems or issues you’re having!  Or…we can just work on our projects together and yak.

Like the Ordering Gifts – you’ll receive the Zoom meeting link when you place an order of $50 or greater (before shipping and tax)!  There’ll be a new link every month.  All you do is download Zoom and then you can click on the link at the start of the Office Hours and you’ll be in!  No account needed.  🙂

Our first Zoom the Craftroom will be on 23 Nov at 2pm Eastern!  I sure hope I get to meet you and spend a little time with you!

Finn Fan Fix 

Last Monday, Finny and I had another reading-with-kids session online.

We were….both!…pretty tired.  So…it ended up sort of being a bedtime story thing for us…

He started like this – at least sort of acting like he was paying attention.

But…within a few pages of the first book….

He didn’t even wake up to say goodbye!

I’m not going to say that I got comfy but….he was a pretty comfy pillow….

(warning – horrible selfie ahead!)

Reading is just so…soothing, isn’t it?? 😉

Stampin’ Up! Wrapped in Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 19, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!  We’ve got a color challenge, today – 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 color scheme we had for today, I saw “Christmas” (and I think you would, too!).  So…I pulled out the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set and some Plaid Tidings DSP.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our color challenge!  We had to pick at least three of the colors, but… I feel like I hit all of them with my three plaid patterns! 🙂

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

And – I played along at the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, too!  I went down the diagonal from left to right!

I saw Linda Callahan’s cute card using this sketch and it gave me the idea to pull out the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch!

I started with a Crumb Cake panel that I ran thru my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, then matted on Cherry Cobbler for the card front.

I took three patterns from the Plaid Tidings DSP and punched three Rectangular Postage Stamp Punches.  I also punched three Cherry Cobbler pieces and adhered the plaid cut-outs to the Cherry Cobbler mats using Liquid Glue.

I used a Glue Dot to adhere a Gold Hoop Embellishment to the card front – then adhered a big bow tied with the gold trim from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack with another Glue Dot.

I adhered the three matted pieces of Plaid Tidings to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.

I put a piece of Whisper White into my Stamparatus and used it to stamp the sentiment from the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  I colored the stamp using the Marker-to-Rubber technique and my Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.  Tip:  use the Stamparatus!  And…don’t press the stamp down too hard – it can cause “clumping” of ink when you use the Marker-to-Rubber technique.  Instead…ink…huff warm breath over the stamp to reactivate the ink – stamp – repeat as often as necessary.  Layering the ink works much better than trying to get it all done on one stamping.  And the Stamparatus makes it possible!  🙂

I cut the sentiment with my 1 1/2″ Circle Punch and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels in Cherry Cobbler finished off the card front.

On the inside, I used the Marker-to-Rubber technique again to stamp a second Wrapped in Christmas sentiment onto a Whisper White panel.  I added some Garden Green fluer-de-do’s in the corner and a couple three Cherry Cobbler gems, too!

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

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got some Wrapped in Christmas fluer-de-do’s in Garden Green on the front…

…and more of the Plaid Tidings DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Crumb Cake – Plaid Tidings – and sweet Wrapped in Christmas sentiments – all atop a Dainty Diamonds 3D embossed panel!  Pretty perfect for Christmas, huh?  I hope you like.

If you’d like to recreate this card, all the products and card cuts are listed below!

Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop thru all our projects today.  If you click on the Next Blog button, you’ll go right to Kristi’s page. And you can just click on the names below to go direct to all the blogs!

Stampin’ Up! Tree Angle Joy & Cheer Christmas

Posted on November 18, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy HAWWWWMP DAY!  Hope your week is going well – I’m in post away-from-home try-to-get-in-the-swing-of-things mode!  FINALLY got back on the treadmill on Tuesday.  Bleh – but…have I mentioned that I really like wearing clothes straight off the rack (from JJill if possible – like…when it’s on sale!!) and knowing with very little doubt that a medium will fit?? ROFL!

So…back to the careful-of-every-bite regime and….the dreadmill.

My card today is a clean and simple one that is quick to make for Christmas!  I used the sweet little Tree Angle stamp set – one of the flyover sets in the current mini catalog.  It coordinates with the Stitched Triangles Dies (part of The Right Triangle bundle in the Annual Catalog) – which is handy!  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is from the CAS(E) This Sketch this week.

And the color palette is from The Spot color challenge.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Tree Angle at the bottom in Real Red.   Then I matted it on Mossy Meadow for the card front.

On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped some trees.  All of the trees – except one of the smallest ones – was stamped in Pear Pizzazz.  That lone tree was stamped in Mossy Meadow.

On the more….squatty?…tree (the isosceles triangle, if you’re interested in my mad math skills!)…I added the Tree Angle poinsettia image in Real Red and the leaves in Mossy Meadow.

I cut the trees out with their matching dies in the Stitched Triangle Dies.

I adhered the flower-strewn tree at the top with Liquid Glue.  Then I added the rest of the trees with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.

I tied a little bow from Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and adhered it to the top tree with a Glue Dot.  Tip:  the braided trim can be gently pulled apart to make it a little wider and…”lacier”!

I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the trees (and the middle of the poinsettias!) and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the Tree Angle sentiment three times in Real Red on a Whisper White panel.  In the corner I added the isosceles tree again – letting it spill off the corner of the panel.

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

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Tree Angle tree with Poinsettias on the front…

…and I pulled out some Heartwarming Hugs DSP for the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  This little “flyover” Tree Angle set is deceptively easy to overlook.  The sweet little tree images – with their old-fashioned decoration – should not be missed.  Especially given that you can get the dies to cut them out -when you purchase the Stitched Triangles die set – either on its own or…better!…as part of a money-saving bundle with The Right Triangle stamp set! 🙂

 

I hope you like – and will pick this up for your Christmas cards!!

If you want to recreate this card – the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery and Heal Your Heart Sneak Peek Sympathy Card

Posted on November 17, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday, y’all!  Hope your week is going well.

PSA:  If you haven’t figured out what you’re doing for Thanksgiving…now might be a good time!  It’s just over a week away!

So – my card today is one I most fervently wish I didn’t need.  But – I am grateful for a couple new goodies that you’ll be able to get on 5 Jan (or…1 Dec if you decided to join my team!).  The first is the gorgeous new Art Gallery Bundle with the coordinating Fine Art Floral DSP.  The second was free!  Yes – FREE!  It’s part of the Sale-A-Bration offerings coming in January – and I got it free with a $50 purchase (and you’ll be able to do the same!).  It’s called Heal Your Heart and it is….perfect.  So…here’s a look-see!

The layout for this one is from the TGIF Challenge this week!

I started with a piece of the gorgeous new Fine Art Floral DSP that I matted on Night of Navy for the card front.  This paper looks like oil painting on canvas – with stunning florals on one side and and “plain” colored “canvases” on the other!

Next, I cut a smaller piece of new Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate and popped it up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I placed them under the area I knew would be covered with the solid oval in the design.

This specialty paper is gorgeous  – gold foil designs on acetate – you’ll get three 12″ x 12″ sheets!

For the sentiment, I first cut three of the “Just” word with the sentiment die in the new Floral Gallery Dies from Night of Navy cardstock.  The four words are all “separate” – so it’s easy to customize your sentiments!

I stacked the three die cuts with Liquid Glue.  And yes – I could have used Foam Adhesive Sheets – and WOULD have if I wasn’t out of it! 🤦‍♀️

On a strip of Whisper White, I stamped part of the sentiment from the Art Gallery set – it’s photopolymer, so that’s pretty easy – in Night of Navy ink.  Then I snipped the end – and adhered the die cut sentiment to the top of the strip with Liquid Glue.

The oval is cut from Terracotta Tile cardstock using the largest oval Stitched Shapes die. Then I ran it thru the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I looped some of the new Mossy Meadow 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (from the Dandy Garden Suite) a couple times, twisted it into a Figure-8 and adhered it to the acetate with a Glue Dot.  Then I popped the embossed oval over top.

I adhered my sentiment to the oval with Liquid Glue and added a few gold Metallic Pearls – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Heal Your Heart in Night of Navy on a Whisper White panel.  Check out these sentiments in this FREE stamp set (coming on 5 Jan).

In the corner, I stamped the larger two-step flower image from the Art Gallery stamp set in Flirty Flamingo.  Then I added the second image in Terracotta Tile.  I added a single gold Metallic Pearl, too.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Night of Navy mat and into my Terracotta Tile card base, adhered the card front with Liquid Glue and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Art Gallery flower in Flirty Flamingo and Terracotta Tile on the front…

…and more Fine Art Floral DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I think the Art Gallery stamp set with its bundled Floral Gallery Dies is going to be a heavy favorite when this catalog goes live!  And certainly the stunning oil-paint-look of the Fine Art Floral DSP is going to be a star of the Suite!  We never want to need sympathy cards, but they’re a fact of life – so…be looking to add the Heal Your Heart set to your tool kit when it goes live on 5 Jan in the Sale-A-Bration flyer – you’ll be able to get it for FREE! 😉  I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix 

Okay, y’all – one more FFF with no Finn – this will be my last post about the wedding!  But…it was too good not to share!

So – Hurricane Eta left her mark on the beach wedding site.  But the day dawned bright and clear (if a little breezy!) so…we got ready to go in our wedding finery! Our friend Norm – me – Ed (FOG) – Jan (MOG) – and our friend Kim (Norm’s wife)!


Once we got to the venue – we saw the…water obstacle…between us and the actual ceremony site.

We got across and then….the groom and groomsmen came across the same way.  Pants legs UP!  Here’s Chris!


With the guys in place, Chris and Matt (look how handsome these two men are!!) watched as Courtney and her Dad John (with help from step-mom Casey) appeared at the top of the stairs…


…and then made their way across, too!


Finally made it….


Isn’t she gorgeous?  Her dress had a pink under-skirt which gave it a very pretty subtle blush.  Dare I say…Blushing Bride?

Yes – I dared! 😉

Anywho….the wedding was lovely and the setting beautiful!

This is one of my favorite pictures – absolute happiness!!


Pictures were taken after the ceremony.  Lotsa handsome and pretty here!


Then I did a photo with them (thanks, guys – I appreciate being included!).

It was really windy – don’t judge the hair! 😉


Once all the photos were done and the beach cleared….the best moment of the whole day came.

 

Tell me that’s not silly-romantic, ladies??

He’s a keeper, Courtney (which we all knew long before this moment – but…it sure cemented it!).

What a story for the kids and grandkids, huh?

So – both of the kids (who are not kids anymore, for sure, but will probably always be that for us!) are married and starting the next chapter of their lives.

So proud of the young men they’ve been – are now – and will continue to be!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Sneak Peek Thank You Card

Posted on November 16, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Well – we’re home and it’s Monday!  What a weekend it was – from storm to gorgeous in just a few days.  Thankfully, the gorgeous happened FOR the wedding! 🙂  Which was also gorgeous!

My card today is my version of one we did at our virtual OnStage event – the Stamp & Share Experience!  We got all the card cuts ahead of time and were ready to stamp “together” with one of the SU! head office folks!  As we worked, I sort of modified the basic card to be more my style.  But, it’s pretty close – and is a great Sneak Peek at the new Dragonfly Gardens Suite.  Take a look-see:

I started by stamping the image of the tiny dragonflies (there’s a bunch of them so….a swarm?) from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Bumble Bee ink up the side of a Whisper White panel.  Then I matted it on Bumble Bee cardstock for the card front.

Using Liquid Glue, I adhered a piece of Misty Moonlight paper from the new Dandy Gardens 6″ x 6″ DSP across the card front.

Then I added two more – different! – patterns with Stampin’ Dimensionals – leaving a tiny gap between the two strips.

I stamped the Dragonfly Garden sentiment in Misty Moonlight at the bottom of the panel.

On a piece of Bumble Bee cardstock, I used the wings fill image from Dragonfly Garden to stamp a small piece of Bumble Bee cardstock twice in Bumble Bee ink – to make a “shadow”.

Using the Dragonflies Punch (which will be available as a bundle with Dragonfly Garden – saving you 10%!) – I punched one of the large dragonflies from a piece of the Dandy Garden DSP!

I popped that punched dragonfly over the “shadow” I’d made on the Bumble Bee card stock with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I offset it a little to create a “ground” shadow effect!  And the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the “swarm” image up the side of my Whisper White panel in Bumble Bee ink.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into my Misty Moonlight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more swarming on the front…

…and a little more Dandy Garden DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Oh my goodness!  How much do I love this Dragonfly Garden stamp set with the uber-cool Dragonflies Punch!??  Answer….a LOT!!

I hope you like and are getting excited for the new catalog?!  Check out my Online Host Clubs – it’s a great way to get your toolbox full….and earn free products!  Or…join my team on 1 December – and get these goodies in your Starter Kit!! 😉

If you want to recreate this card – the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

The many moods of Pawley’s Island! 😉

Thursday evening…

 

Saturday morning!  Dawning bright and beautiful for the wedding!  Yes – my dream of sleeping in was rudely interrupted by my pea-pickin’ internal body clock.  Grrrr. 🙁

And – the crowning moment!

I could get pretty used to this as the consolation prize each day for getting up so stinkin’ early! 😉

Stampin’ Up! Have a Hoot Christmas For the Paper Players

Posted on November 15, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – Ann’s getting us thinking about Christmas again with a Clean-And-Simple theme challenge this week.  I know it’ll give your creative mojo a bump!  So I hope you’ll come and play along with us!

I pulled out the sweet little Have a Hoot stamp set (didn’t need to use the bundled Peek-a-Hoot dies this time – but they’re there!) and used it as the starting point for my wintery Christmas card – with the pretty Snowflake Splendor DSP playing backup.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our Paper Players badge – I hope you’ll come and play along! 🙂

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday for my layout.

I started with a piece of the Snowflake Spendor DSP matted on Highland Heather cardstock for the card front.

On another piece of Highland Heather, I cut the edge with the Peony Dies scalloped edge die.  I adhered another Snowflake Splendor designs to it and then adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I put a piece of Whisper White cardstock into the Stamparatus and then used the Marker-to-Rubber technique to color and stamp parts of the Have A Hoot image.  Hint:  Using the Stamparatus is the bomb-diggity with this method, because you can just keep coloring and stamping as many times as you need to lay down any color you want.  And – the Cling stamps (aka Red Rubber) work the best with it, but you CAN do it with photopolymers, too! 🙂

I colored the owl with my Smoky Slate Marker, the snowflakes and present with Purple Posy, the branch with Crumb Cake and the leaves with Pretty Peacock.

When it was colored to my exacting standards (😎) – I cut the image with a circle Stitched Shapes die and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped the Have a Hoot sentiment in Highland Heather and fussy cut the two words.

I tied a little bow from a piece of the Misty Moonlight/Silver Baker’s Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

Using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and a dab of Liquid Glue,  I popped one sentiment word over the bow and then added the second word with just the Mini Dimensionals.

I stuck on a few Adhesive-backed Snowflakes here and there on the card front, and added a couple of Coastal Cabana Holiday Rhinestones – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a Highland Heather-matted strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP and some Adhesive-backed Snowflakes to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Pool Party card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the little Have a Hoot owl on the front (colored just like I’d done for the one on the front of the card!)…

…and more Snowflake Splendor DSP on the envelope flap!

Et Voila!  These little Have-a-Hoot guys just kill me….they’re so stinkin’ cute!  And the set covers Halloween cards as well as Christmas.  The matching Peek-a-Hoot dies (bundled for a 10% savings!) are super handy when you need to cut your images out – no fussy cutting!

And there’s no denying the frosty beauty of the Snowflake Splendor DSP!

I hope you like!

If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Now…take a look at what the rest of the team has to offer!  Then pull out your ink and papers and have a little fun challenge! 🙂

Our first Zoom the Craftroom will be on 23 Nov at 2pm Eastern!  I sure hope I get to meet you and spend a little time with you!

Finn Fan Fix 

On Thursday evening, we went to The Pelican Inn – the venue – and had dinner with most of Courtney’s family and the wedding party.  It was a low country boil and it was sooooo good!  On newspaper and everything! That’s Matt and Katelyn (our recently married couple!) on the left and FOG Ed on the right! 🙂  The MOG (Jan) is off the picture – that’s her hand holding a shrimp.  Yes – I know.  Awesome picture, Mare!  But look how nicely I framed the cocktail sauce! LOL

I got a picture of the lovely Courtney (the BTB) with all the gorgeous flowers she and her family would be fashioning into bouquets on Friday.

After, we mingled around in the beautiful inn and…I learned Mexican Train Dominoes.  And by “learn” I mean….hobbled thru two games with some help from the other players!

I think the other three players were pretty shocked that I won both games!!

Not, however, as shocked as I was!! 😂😂😂

Stamps-N-Lingers Online Host Club Openings and…a New Customer Bonus!

Posted on November 14, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all!  Well – today’s the big day!  Wedding on the beach!  I think the day will be wonderful and I know that Chris and Courtney are going to be so happy.  You might remember me talking about it – this wedding was planned for May…. Darned COVID!  But – where there’s love there’s a way, right?

So – I wanted to take a second to let you know that I’ve got an Online Host Club starting on 1 December and I’ve got openings.  Whoo-hoo!!!

What is an Online Host Club?  Glad you asked!

An Online Host Club lets you get some of the benefits of being a host – without doing any of the WORK of being a host!  And – it helps you build your crafting tool chest a little at a time.  While earning FREE goodies!

A club consists of three folks doing two consecutive three-month terms.   Each person commits to buying $50 before shipping and tax each month.

Here’s how it shakes out…this is just an example!  As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!

At the end of the club, I let each member select a stamp set up to $25 that I send to them for free.

What are the other bennies of a Host Club?

  • At least a $150.00 Workshop order during EACH of your host months!
  • Which means you’ll have at least $15.00 of Stampin’ Rewards dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets, or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host months.  Stampin’ Rewards are Stampin’ Up!-speak for “free money”!
  • You’ll earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINTS on your Host Club Orders.  Each $50 order earns 4 reward points, a $75 order earns you 6 reward points, etc. You’ll earn at least 24 reward points during your membership, meaning you’ll automatically earn at least ONE $40 Peppermint rewards gift!  (Remember – when you gather up 16 Peppermints, you get to select a free reward gift valued up to $40!).  You can get more info about my Punkin’ Heads Customer Rewards Program right here.
  • You’ll receive a FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects and access to all previous tutorials for the duration of the club. Right now, there are over FIFTY tutorials available only to Online Host Club members.  That’s around TWO HUNDRED FIFTY not-seen-on-our-blogs projects for you to use as inspiration (and they ALL have all the card cuts and instructions!)
  • Access to my Weekly Zoom The Craftroom online Zoom Party – where you can come craft and chat with me and other customers! YEP – THIS IS NEW!!
  • FREE catalogs during your membership term
  • FREE shipping in your TWO Host Months
  • A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25 at the end of each “term”, any current set (excluding host sets)!
  • At the end of the full 6 months, you’ll get first dibs at signing up for the next 6 month term!

When you join the club – you’ll commit to the full six months – in two consecutive three-month increments.   This is a great time to join a club – with the pending release of the 2021 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION fixin’ to start in January, too!

Don’t delay – there are limited spaces available!

If you want to join us or if you have ANY questions about how it would work…please drop me a note at stamps-n-lingers@comcast.net!

Okay – that’s the first thing.

The second is a brand new thing I’ve been tossing around in my head for a minute.  It’s something that will be exclusive to my customers (and – of course! – my Host Club peeps!).

So – I’m setting up a “ZOOM The Craftroom” time with me every week!  Every Wednesday, I’ll be in my craft room doing…something!… and you can pop in and we’ll craft together and chat or…whatever!  Very casual – no makeup required (I for sure won’t have any on!).  It’s a great time to ask questions or get help with problems or issues you’re having!  Or…we can just work on our projects together and yak.

Like the Ordering Gifts – you’ll receive the Zoom meeting link when you place an order of $50 or greater (before shipping and tax)!  There’ll be a new link every month.  All you do is download Zoom and then you can click on the link at the start of the Office Hours and you’ll be in!  No account needed.  🙂

Our first Zoom the Craftroom will be on 23 Nov at 2pm Eastern!  I sure hope I get to meet you and spend a little time with you!

Okay – I think that’s about it for today!  I’m….off to get ready for The Big Day!

January – June 2021 Mini Catalog Coming Soon!

 

We got a look at the new Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog AND the new Sale-A-Bration Mini at our #OnStageatHome event last weekend – and they’re pretty awesome!

As did many of the demonstrators who attended the event, I placed my pre-order quick as a bunny!  And when it arrived on Monday, I gave y’all a sneak peek!  Didn’t see it?  Well…here it is on YouTube if you want to take a gander!

I’m making my list and checking it twice so that I can order catalogs for all my customers on 1 December!  Once they arrive, I’ll get them packed up and back out the door as quickly as I’m able!   So….are YOU on my list?

If you’ve placed an order of at least $50 in the past twelve months  – then…yes!  You are!  You’re more than welcome to drop me a line if you want to double check!

If you’re not a customer of mine right now – but you want to get on that mailing list – head over to my Online Store and place a $50 or more order!  Not only will you start to earn Peppermint Rewards Points (the “currency” in my Punkin Heads Customer Rewards Program), you’ll get a $10 ordering gift (that you get to choose!) – but that will ALSO get your name on that mailing list!  Winner Winner Winner!

But….maybe you want to be like me and get your mitts on these pretties early??  Hard to blame you!  Well – you’re in luck!  Folks who join Stampin’ Up! in December will be able to select from our Pre-Order list to fill their Starter Kits!  Yes – you can select $125 worth of brand new goodies and pay just $99 + tax (with FREE shipping!).  And – there’s no obligation.  Ever!  Check out all the bennies of joining Stampin’ Up! right here – and then…let’s chat!

I stole a little of Finn’s spotlight to share some pics from our ride the other day!  We had a cool-ish day (it was still a bit warm for the girls, as you’ll see in the photos) – but it was pleasant!  So we actually rode for about 45 minutes – real easy – but…it was lovely.

Cady – the baby – was kind of a goof – neighing and hollering for….who, now?  That’s right – there’s no other horses here anymore besides her and her mother.  Who was Right.  In.  Front.  Of.  Her.

Kids.  What can you do?

Cerah, on the other hand, was happy being in front – just walking along and enjoying the ride.  You could tell she was having a good time – so that was nice.

Here’s me and Cerah.  Wayne was taking the pic from atop Cady – so…the photo quality is…suspect! 🙂

I think she’s saying – girl – why you being so goofy?!?

This is the top of Cady’s noggin.  She’s giving somebody the side-ear!

It was a good day.  And – once the rush and bustle of the wedding is past us – I hope we get to do it more often! 🙂
