Stampin’ Up! Springtime Foils Celebrate You!

Good mornin’, y’all!  Welcome to another work week!  Never fear – it’ll be over before you know it! 

She says hopefully… 😉

And come Friday – you’ll be able to get the star of today’s card with the release of the new Sale-A-Bration goodies!

If you were able to join me last night for my FB Live video last night, thanks so much for sharing part of your weekend with me!  If not, but would like to see how to make today’s card, then here’s the Youtube sort-of-instant replay!

I’ve made a couple of cards this weekend that are a departure from my norm.  Not tons of layers – no fussy cutting.  I know – weird!  But – thought I’d see if I could do it!  This one lets the beautiful new Springtime Foils DSP shine thru with just the addition of some images from the SAB Amazing You stamp set and matching Celebrate You Thinlits.  Take a look-see:

I used the clean-and-simple layout from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches for this one. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Springtime Foils Perennial Birthday

Happy Saturday!  Whoo-hooo!!!  I don’t even care that it’s going to rain all the weekend thru.  It’s.  The.  Week.  END!!  

I’ve shown you a little peek of the new Sale-A-Bration goodies coming with the second release on 16 Feb.  One of those, the Springtime Foils DSP – is showcased on my card for today.  I combined it with some images from the Perennial Birthday and You’re Inspiring stamp sets.  Take a look-see:

Yes.  There’s fussy cutting.  It’s me, people.  I like to cut!  But never fear – it’s easy fussy cutting! Continue reading

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

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

Stampin’ Up! Blends, Basket Weaves and Lovely Wishes

Happy happy Hawwmp day, y’all!  Mid-week on our way to another Continuing Resolution and/or government shutdown.  Whattheheckaretheydoing?!?  Sheesh.  I think THEIR pay needs to stop if they don’t get it together.  

So.  There.  My rant for the day.

Before I get going on the card for today, please be sure you make note of the impending Fast Fuse sale – it starts tomorrow and is a Buy-a-Fast-Fuse and get two refills free SALE!  And it’s only while supplies last – so…be ready to hop to in the morning!

Now.  For my card.  I used a technique that I saw in a Stampin’ Up! video (you can see it right here) to make a pretty background.  The Lovely Wishes stamp set lent it’s pretty flowers for the embossing.  And – if you look close…you’ll see a tiny sneak peek of the new Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF (which will be available to customers on 16 Feb!).  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is from this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge: Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Hanging Garden Charming Cafe for Stamp Ink Paper #136

Happy Tuesday, y’all – and welcome to another Stamp Ink Paper challenge!  

We were playing with a theme this week – called Cabin Fever.  As I thought of what to do for y’all to embody this theme – my eye fell upon the growing stack of seed catalogs that come this time of year!  And I knew – vegetables!  This is the time of year when it’s still too cold to start those gardens – but we want to – so badly!! I don’t have a set filled with tomato, pepper and squash plants – so, I pulled out a couple of pretty stamp sets that embody the beauty of flowers (and the butterflies that flock to them!) in Spring – Hanging Garden and the Charming Cafe bundle. Take a look-see:

As I mentioned, the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #136 this week is all about Cabin Fever.  What makes you itch to get outside before Winter is even over?  Come and play along, won’t you?!  The winners this month will be in the running to be a Guest Designer on our challenge! 🙂 Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Bird Banter Belated Birthday

Mornin’, y’all!  Monday arriveth again.  I saw on the news the other day that this is the least productive day of the year – many employers give their folks the day after Super bowl off – cuz they ain’t gonna do much anyway! Makes perfect sense to me.  These days, I’ll take any excuse to have a 4-day week!  There were some good commercials, didn’t you think?  We enjoyed watching Eli Manning do the Dirty Dancing scene with you Beckham, Jr – and the Alexa-lost-her-voice commercial was one of our favorites!  And the game was darned good, too – I enjoy watching when it’s not a rout.  Two outstanding teams this year!!

So, my card today uses the Bird Banter stamp set – one that I haven’t played with before.  And I used it, with the addition of some Sale-A-Bration Bubbles & Fizz DSP, to create a cute little belated birthday card.  Take a look-see:

My layout is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Petals and Peacocks Celebrate You!

Happy weekend, y’all!  Hope you’re enjoying it so far.

We’re replacing the leach field on our septic.  So – yea.  Good times! 😉

My card today is a fun one that uses a few free goodies from the 2018 Sale-A-Bration flyer.  Namely, the Beautiful Peacock stamp set, a sentiment from the Celebrate You Thinlits and some Bubbles & Fizz DSP.  And – I pulled a beautiful die from the Petals & More Thinlits in the 2018 Occasions Catalog.  Take  a look-see:

The layout was sort of loosely inspired by the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Celebrate Amazing You

Happy Hawwwmp day, y’all!  Hope the week is going well for you.

Last week, my friend Amy made a card that I really loved.  Well, I pretty much love all the cards she made. This one I decided to CASE-ish.  Here’s a link to her card.

Like Amy, I used the Picture Perfect DSP and the wonderful Sale-A-Bration freebie….the Celebrate You Thinlits!  Take a look-see:

These were so easy to create – that I made 4 of them! Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Apron of Love Thank You Card

Happy Haaawwwmp Day, y’all!  Gotta love these short weeks, huh?

Not sure what the weather will be doing today – when we got done with the horses last night, it was way warmer than I thought it would be.  But – Atlanta’s been prepping for The Big Event (again) all day!  So I guess we’ll see what we see!

My card today is winging it’s way to one of the ladies who recently joined my team – yeah!! – and took advantage of the seriously awesome good deal that a Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!  Maybe YOU should be looking at it, too??

Just sayin’! 🙂

Anywho – I made this one with the fun little Apron of Love stamp set and a few other little goodies – take a look-see:

My color scheme is from this week’s Color Challenge at The Paper Players. Continue reading
