Stampin’ Up! Rose Garden Wonder for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

Posted on April 7, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all – it’s Thursday and that means it’s Blog Hop Day! Today is a color challenge – and it was, for me, a true “challenge”! Hang on a sec and you’ll see. Our whole team is in on the hop today, so…please take a minute to check them all out, okay? 🙂

Our challenge today was to use Basic Black, Whisper White and Sahara Sand:

I stewed a bit on how to make this card and deal with this particular set of colors. I’ve used Sahara Sand as my primary color in the past, but for some reason it stymied my today. I finally just did some thumbing thru my DSPs and I stumbled upon the Timeless Elegance DSP. Black, White, Sahara Sand. That’s it! So, that helped.

Then I gravitated towards the Rose Garden thinlit – it just sort of says “elegant” to me, so I figured I’d stick to the theme. And, of course, the coordinating Rose Wonder stamp set, chock full of beautiful sentiments, sat ready to help me out. So…when I put them all together, here’s what I came up with! Take a look-see:

And it’s pretty darned easy to make, too! I started by cutting two of the large die cuts from the Rose Garden Thinlits – one each in Basic Black and Whisper White. I’d love to tell you it’s cuz I knew right off the bat what my plan was for the card, but in fact I was not at all sure! I’d thought I’d use the white on the outside, but…well. As you can see, that’s not where it ended up! Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Greetings In the Meadow Silhouette and…Blog Candy!

Posted on April 6, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawmp Day, y’all! Days are just flying by – one short week from today, Amy Koenders and I will be winging our way West to attend OnStage Live in Salt Lake! Where we’re going to get to see the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog! Yikes – can you believe it’s that time already?!? That, of course, means it’s almost time to say good-bye to the current catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog – the retiring list will be released on 18 April (right after OnStage). So, you’ll want to be thinking about getting stocked up!

Well, today was productive. I updated my Inventory Spreadsheet, alphabetized my stamp sets, and got a new Office Chair! Yeah! It actually has padded parts – and it swivels. And will roll – once I get one of those plastic mat things you put over the carpet. Makes a huge difference over that wooden kitchen chair I’ve been sitting in. It’s the little things, isn’t it?

So, the card I have to share with you today is a quick and easy, Clean and Simple birthday card, using one of my favorite Occasions stamp sets – In the Meadow. And one of the pretty sentiments from Cottage Greetings. Take a look-see:

My color scheme comes from the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge #42: Continue reading →

So, there will be some things with higher discounts than others! 🙂 Sounds good to me! Check out how many cool things are in this week’s deals! WOW! Some awesome Punches and Thinlits and embellishments…oh my! And it looks like Stampin’ Up! is in a Discount-Frame-of-Mind this week…they’ve added a bunch of cool things over in the Clearance Rack – check it! Looks like some Black Glimmer Paper, Framelits, Designer Series Paper and accessories from the Holiday Catalog are some of the goodies!

Next – Annual Catalogs are coming soon! If you’ve ordered $50 or more from me in the past 12 months – I”ll be sending you a catalog just as soon as I can send them out – probably around the first week in May. If you haven’t ordered from me – there’s still time! Just click on my Online Store icon over there to the right side of your screen and get shopping! Just be sure to check “Yes” at the screen that asks you if your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (that would be me!) can contact you! I promise I won’t bug you – but if you don’t select that, I can’t see anything about you – so…I can’t send you your ordering gift, sign you up for my Rewards Program or send you a catalog! Nuthin’! 🙂

And – speaking of Annual Catalogs – the official Retiring List will be released on 18 April – and will include the 2014-2016 In Colors and other items from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog. Once that hits the streets, the stock of 2014-2016 In Color ink refills and card stock is going to go away fast!

Stampin’ Up! Love You Sew Number of Years

Posted on April 4, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Hello hello! Welcome to another week of stampin’ and makin’ here at Stamps-N-Lingers! I’m feeling awfully perky this evening as I type up the post for Monday. Wayne and I spent much of the day at a Shoe Repair Expo. Yes. That’s a thing! 😉 It was fun – and fueled our long-tamped-down desire to open a shoe repair of our own.

Add in the fact that the day was gorgeous…well, I’m just in a good mood! 🙂

So – the card I have to share is a fun Birthday Card. I combined two great Occasions catalog stamp sets – the Love You Sew host set and the Number of Years bundle. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Greetings Rainbow Kitty Sympathy Card

Posted on April 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Wow – this was a gorgeous day here in Atlanta (I’m typing this on Saturday night)! The past two days of rain and stormy weather that signaled the passage of a cold front left the air sparkling and (momentarily!) pollen-less-than-normal (not pollen-free but at least we’ve been able to have a few windows open today!)! The dogwood trees and azaleas are going crazy – we only have a few that the previous owners planted – but everywhere you drive are mounds and mounds of azaleas in every color! They’re so spectacular they’ll almost literally make you gasp when you round a curve in the road and see them. Here’s a picture of one of my little ones –

Now, imagine that about 10 times bigger and in a group of about a hundred! All enmass under tall pine trees. Yes, that’s how folk plant them here and it’s magnificent! If I’d been smart and planted one a year since we moved here…I’d have my very own breathtaking display. As it is…I look at my meager group and go out of my way to drive down roads where I know I’ll see them!

I’ve spent too much time the past couple of days trying to make a card that can come close to echoing the colors of the azaleas….I have yet to be successful. 🙁

So, the card I have to share with you today is a sympathy card for the loss of a pet. My friend needed one for her friend who, apparently, had a mama kitty who had trouble delivering a litter – and lost all the babies. 🙁 That’s a pretty sad thing. So….she asked me to make a card to send. I used a non-Stampin’ Up! kitty image – and combined it with the rainbow-building swath image from Over the Rainbow. My sentiment is from the ever-handy Greatest Greetings and I also added some of the very pretty flowers from the Number of Years stamp set. It’s easy to forget how pretty those flowers are – the number images pretty much steal the show! But…take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Grateful Bunch Totally Awesome!

Posted on April 2, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – hope that you fared okay with the weather these past couple of days – it’s been pretty wild in the South. We got lucky – nuthin’ but some lightning and a bit of rain. The horses spent the night tucked up in their stalls with their fans keeping the bugs off – ahh, the life of Riley for them, huh? 🙂

So, I’ve got a quick card to share with you today, that uses my oh-so-fave Grateful Bunch stamp set and its matching punch – Blossom Bunch. Which I got – and so can you! – as a 15% off bundle! And Timeless Textures – again! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! For the New Two Botanicals for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

Posted on March 31, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all – it’s Thursday and that means it’s Blog Hop Day! All our Happy Stampers are hopping today, so I know you’ve got a bunch of great projects to see today! Please take a minute to check them all out – and maybe leave us a comment or two. We love hearing what you think of our efforts each week! 🙂

Yesterday I shared a very elegant Wedding card with you – that I also told you was completely not the right card for my friend – who is getting married this weekend – in good jeans, a nice white linen shirt and a Blue western jacket. Please don’t take that as any sort of criticism at all – it’s her day and that is such a perfect choice of outfit for her….and she’ll be comfortable and able to relax and enjoy the day as she marries her best friend! I meant it only to illustrate that yesterday’s card wasn’t right.

I think today’s is. And since it’s on its way to her – I surely hope she thinks so, too!

I used the Occasions stamp sets In the Meadow and Timeless Textures, as well as the For the New Two set from the Annual Catalog. I reprised – basically – my color scheme from yesterday, with the exception of the “color”. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! First Sight For The New Two

Posted on March 30, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – I hope that you’re enjoying your week! It’s almost over. Be brave!

This weekend, my best friend is getting married in Nebraska. My hubs and I aren’t going to be able to get there for it – and I’m sad about that. But, it is what it is, and I know she understands why. As a consolation prize, I’ve made her a batch of chocolate dipped Espresso Chocolate Chip Biscotti. Which she asks me for every time I see or talk to her! Their wedding invitation said “No Gifts” (this is a second marriage for them both) but I figure cookies isn’t really a gift….right? 😉

And – of course, I made her a wedding card!

I used the pretty wedding-oriented stamp set called For the New Two and a little Timeless Textures. And First Sight, also from the Occasions catalog. Take a look-see:
