HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop.  I’m glad you were able to stop by and appreciate you spending a little bit of your day with us.  Today we all worked a color sketch and I’m excited (and hope you are, too! 🙂 ) to see what all the ladies-who-hop have come up with as they work their crafty magic on this classic color combo:

Pretty, huh?  Gave us all a chance to play with the new Copper embellishments….Metallic Thread, Embossing Powder….Washi Tape.

I decided to play with the Flourishing Phrases stamp set – it’s got so many great sentiments and, of course, the beautiful….well, flourish!  I added some Botanical Blooms and the matching Botanical Builder flowers.  And as a starting touch….I used the Detailed Floral Thinlits.  Take a look-see:

I decided to make my diagonal element a little differently and I used a couple of techniques, all working together, to craft my card, using the lovely Penned & Painted stamp set.  Take a look-see:

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop.  This week is a color challenge – check it out!

June 16
I’ve discovered a crafter truism.  There’s nothing better than a whole bunch of new toys to play with.  And, there’s nothing worse than a whole bunch of new toys to play with!  I have so many goodies – and more coming! – that I want to play with, it’s just really hard narrowing it down.  But I managed to pick…three….for today’s card.  The main player is the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, with some Touches of Texture thrown in.  And some Brushwork Alphabet to round out the line-up.  All mixed with a little Playful Palette DSP.  Take a look-see:

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop.  This is the first hop in the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog and I’m bettin’ you see some super fun projects from all the ladies!  I hope you have your catalog and are making your wish list! 🙂

We all worked with what is one of my favorite color combinations – black, white and pink.  Pink in the form of Melon Mambo!

June 2-3For my card, I used the Swirly Scribbles Framelits and a little of the matching Swirly Bird stamp set, and the star of the show is a sentiment from Layering Love – displayed in a couple of hearts from the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits set.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! A Grateful Bunch of Swirly Birds for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop.  I hope you’ll settle back and spend a little time checking out all the projects we ladies-who-hop have built for you today!

We all worked on a sketch this week…

Now – this one should have given me an “aha” moment.  But my brain was blocked.  Don’t know why, exactly, but it was.  So I ended up making a card from an idea that I finally forced myself to have.

And I hated the card.  It really wasn’t awful, but…I just really didn’t like it at all!  My time was pretty limited though, so…I thought “what the heck” I’ll just use it anyway.  Here it is:

Stampin’ Up! Don’t Swirly….Bee Punny for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop!  I spent a lot of time working on the title of my post – so, when you say it, kind of hum the “Don’t worry….be happy” tune, okay? 🙂

All us Happy Stampers Hoppers worked from a color challenge this week.

Interesting color combo, huh?  The card I ended up with kind of …..evolved.  I did not have that instant “oh, this is what I should do with this challenge” revelation that I mentioned in a past post.  I just sort of….picked a stamp set – Pun Intended.  Then I decided I wanted to use the long, wavy die cut from the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  And I just….started cutting those from Sahara Sand and Mint Macaron card stock and laying them on my grid paper to see what I could come up with.  Next thing I knew – I had my ah-ha moment and….take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Pink Paradise for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop!  We’ve got a fun sketch today and I’ve interpreted it in a….tropical way.  To match the return of the muggies here in Savannah!  And traffic.  

Traffic isn’t tropical.  That was a little random association going on.  I thought muggy.  Then I got a brain picture of heat waves rising off of asphalt.  While sitting in traffic – which we do here every day on the way home.  Yukkk.  It’s as bad as Atlanta, I tells ya! 🙁

But – that’s not why we’re here.  We’re here to see some cards made by some talented ladies, who all started with this sketch:

12313635_1305624596130779_8167946357580835360_nI took a tiny bit of liberty with the sketch, but… the elements are there!  I used some of the new Pop of Pink Suite of products in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  Some Pop of Paradise stamp set images, a little Pop of Pink DSP and some pretty Pop of Pink Washi Tape.  And I added a little bit of the Layering Love stamp set.  And a few surprises.  Take a look-see:

Pop of Pink Paradise 4 - Stamps-N-Lingers

This was a card for a friend at work.  He’d gotten a Mother’s Day card from me.  Then a birthday card for his daughter.  Then he asked me for a “love” card for his fiancee!  This is a woman he knew way back when they were teenagers – then they kind of went their separate ways for 40 some odd years – and now they’ve found each other again.

Stampin’ Up! A Look Back and Annual Catalog Shares Coming Soon!

Good morning! I can’t even sort of tell you how happy I am to be laying in bed when this post goes live today! It was a close call – late Thursday, it looked like we were going to have to work today and tomorrow! It was looking pretty bleak there for a bit, y’all – I was feeling pretty bummed by the whole thing. Then today, we got a reprieve! Whoo-hoo! A real-live weekend! 🙂

I’ve shared a couple of cards in the last couple of days that used two stamp sets that I just love. I’ve made several cards with them since they came out in the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog. I’m referring to the beuaitufl Sweetbriar Rose wooden stamp and the Love You Sew Host stamp set. So – I wanted to lead you on a little stroll down memory lane. Take a look-see at some of my favorite past cards with these two stamps – you can click on the pictures and go right to that post to get a reminder of how I made each one! Enjoy. 🙂

First up – the gorgeous Sweetbriar Rose from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog…

Stampin’ Up! Summer Sweetbriar Rose for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

HappyStampersBlogPostBanner-2
Mornin’, y’all –  it’s Thursday and that means it’s Happy Stampers Blog Hop Day!  We’re almost thru the week – yeah! – and the weather is gorgeous here in the deep South!  Spring in the South is the bomb-diggity.  When we get some, that is!  And we’ve got a few days where the weatherman is promising just that!  

Today’s Happy Stampers Blog Hop is a color challenge:

12295452_1305624446130794_7154701242439088343_nI do hope you’ll hop thru all the ladies’ blogs today to peruse (and comment on!) all of their projects!

I pulled out another soon-to-Retire stamp – the oh-so-preety Sweetbriar Rose.  I combined it with the Hardwood Stamp, and a little dab of Summer Silhouettes (also Retiring!).  My sentiments are from Greatest Greetings and the soon-to-be-available Floral Affection stamp sets.  Take a look-see:

I started with a panel of Crumb Cake card stock – onto which I heat embossed the image from Sweetbriar Rose.  I inked the stamp with Versamark Ink, stamped the image and sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (2016-2017 Annual Catalog).
