MKEMIKEMIKEMIKEMIIIIIIKE! Guess what day it is!!
Yup – it’s HAWWWWWMP DAY!!!
Got to keep as much normalcy as we can, right? So we need to keep up with our traditions! 😉
My card today is another sneak peek of the new Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog – which is less than 10 days away from going live! This one uses the new Joy Dies for a sentiment and the Cherish the Season bundle with the pretty Sounds of the Season Dies. And – some of the wunnermus ‘Tis The Season DSP. Take a look-see:
Happy Monday, y’all! Sorry to start the week with an oxymoron! 😉
I made a fun Congratulations card for you guys today using the Many Mates (yes – a most-awesome sentiment stamp set!), Whale Done and the Whale of a Time DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the Mojo Monday sketch challenge.
And I used the inspiration photo from this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge.
I started with a piece of the wunnermus Whale of a Time DSP that I matted on Calypso Coral for the card front.
Next, I embossed a Whisper White panel in the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder, matted it on Calypso Coral, and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
The horizontal element is another piece of the Whale Done DSP, matted on Calypso Coral and adhered with Liquid Glue.
For the sentiment, I cut a third design of the DSP with the largest square Stitched Shapes Die. In the corner, in Calypso Coral ink, I added a Many Mates sentiment. Then I popped the square onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I fussy cut three turtles from one of the DSP designs and adhered the two smaller ones to the sentiment square with Liquid Glue (and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to support some of the parts hanging over the edge…). The bottom turtle is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
I used little dabs of Liquid Glue to adhere a few Whale of a Time Sequins and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second Many Mates sentiment in Calypso Coral to a Whisper White panel. Then I stamped the turtle from Whale Done across the bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Blackberry Bliss. I added some Pool Party bubbles. 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Calypso Coral mat and into my Pacific Point card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Whale Done turtles and bubbles across the front…
…and a little more of the Whale of a Time DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! I love the gorgeous images in the Whale of a Time DSP, don’t you? And fussy cutting the turtles really turned out cute, I think.
Also handy that there’s that cute turtle image in the Whale Done stamp set – making it easy to carry the theme into the inside and onto the envelope! Many Mates lends the perfect sentiments to the whole thing! 🙂
I hope you like!

We got hay the other day.
You knew that cuz I toldja.
Thought you might like a picture or two of the process.
Once we get the hay home – the real hot and dusty work begins.
Thankfully, Wayne does most of the hard stuff – with the help of the big tractor – complete with A/C and a radio!
Get it off the trailer….
\
Drop it on the ground to get it up on end and then carry it to the barn.
Then he stacks it in – using that giant tractor like a precision instrument!
Finn – in the meantime – is helping me supervise from the golf cart. Which has NEITHER A/C nor radio!
Tongue deployed.
The end result is…10 bales in the barn…
…And two more in the hay room!
Will last us close to a year!
Life is good!

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a clean-and-simple theme challenge from Jaydee. Our theme is CELEBRATION! – which is appropriate since this is The Paper Player’s 500th Challenge!! Whoo-hoo!! I hope you’ll come and play along to help us celebrate! 🙂
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 picked birthday celebration for my theme – and pulled from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set for my big bold focal sentiment. I added it atop some relatively subtle plaid from the new Plaid Tidings DSP – coming on 4 Aug in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog!! Take a look-see:
And here’s our 500th Paper Players challenge badge!
I also pulled a little help for the layout of the smaller “card” on the front of my fun-fold from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
This is a SUPER easy fun fold, y’all! It probably looks familiar – cuz I did a similar fold not too long ago, using the Forever Fern Bundle!
For this one, I started with a piece of gorgeous plaid paper from the Plaid Tidings DSP pack that I matted on Misty Moonlight and then adhered to my Bumble Bee card base with Liquid Glue.
I cut a smaller piece of the same plaid and matted it on Misty Moonlight – to make the card front for the small card.
I placed a piece of Whisper White into my Stamparatus and, using the Marker-to-Rubber technique, stamped the Happiest of Birthdays sentiment. I colored the large letters with my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker and used the Pretty Peacock Marker for the small letters.
I used a Stitched Rectangle Die that was the right width – but too long – to cut the sentiment. I made it smaller by running the cut thru my die cutting machine a second time. The video shows how to do that – way easier than words would do! You can scroll thru to about the 14 minute mark! 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere a small strip of Bumble Bee plaid from Plaid Tidings to the bottom of the sentiment, then popped the whole thing onto the small card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a single Bumble Bee 2020-2021 In Color Enamel Dot – and the small card front was done.
For the inside, I matted another strip of the Bumble Bee Plaid Tidings DSP on Misty Moonlight and then adhered it to a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and into the small Bumble Bee card base – then I adhered that whole little card to the larger card base – offset to the left – with Liquid Glue – and the fun-fold card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another fun sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays on the front – in Pretty Peacock ink…
…and more of the blue-toned Plaid Tidings DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Happiest of Birthdays stamp set is perfect for clean-and-simple cards – the big bold sentiments really do all the work! It’s also handy to have a cute sentiment for those SO FEW times you MIGHT be a little-bit-late with a card! 😉
And – Stampin’ Up! heard us when we asked for MORE PLAID!! The new Plaid Tidings DSP is gorgeous!!
I hope you like!

Happy Friday, y’all! It’s been a busy time here for us – Wayne’s been working outside, sawing lumber and repairing fences. Mowing the never-ending grass. We’ve worked in the garden – you can see a little of the “fruits” of our labors in Finn’s spot below. And, of course, it’s been hot and muggy and generally….the South-in-Summer!
Which is why, with all my Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog pre-order goodies looking me in the face, I’ve been making some winter-ish cards. As I predicted when I was griping about being cold a few months ago…now? Yep. Griping about being hot. My 4 degree comfort-zone-window is being breached at every turn! LOL!
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 is a really cool fun-fold, it’s called a Dutch-Door Gate Fold and I think you’ll see why in a sec. I used the beautiful new Sweetest Time stamp set with the amazing and bundled Sweetest Borders Dies. Take a look-see:
Yes – if you’re looking closely – you’ll see that this card looks different from the card in the video thumbnail. There’s a reason for that – and you’ll need to watch the video to find out what it is! 🙂
For this one, I started by scoring, cutting and folding a 7 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Real Red card stock as shown in the video – and according to this template…
Once I had it all cut and folded, I decorated the gates with some pretty, new Plush Poinsettia Specialty DSP matted on Mossy Meadow. I used Glue Dots – hidden behind the flocked images on the DSP – to adhere it to the mats and then used Liquid Glue to adhere the panels to the fronts of the gates.
Pretty, huh? 🙂
I stamped the three-candle image from Sweetest Time in Real Red on Whisper White and fussy cut it, then popped it onto a Whisper White panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Daffodil Delight “flame” above each candle with the little stamp in the set.
Using the dies in the Sweetest Borders Dies, I cut a bunch of holly leaves and pine boughs in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. I also stamped berries in Real Red and cut them out as well.
I added the leaves and boughs around the candles with Liquid Glue. I tied a bow with the Gold Trim from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Finally, I adhered the berries with Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Whisper White, I stamped the Sweetest Time sentiment in Mossy Meadow, snipped banner ends and adhered it with Liquid Glue – and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional on each end. I used more Liquid Glue to mat the panel on Mossy Meadow and adhere it to the top panel of the card base – and the front of the gate card was done!
On the inside, I added a second Sweetest Time sentiment in Mossy Meadow to a Whisper White panel. Under it, I stamped Real Red candles and Daffodil Delight flames, as well as a couple of Pear Pizzazz holly leaves.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into the card base – and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another candle and holly leaves on the front…
…and added the candles to the envelope flap, as well!
Et Voila! This Sweetest Time stamp set – and its bundled (and AWESOME!) Sweetest Borders Dies – is a great bundle to have in your kit bag as we get ready to head into the holiday season.
And don’t miss the gorgeous Plush Poinsettia Specialty DSP (you can get a taste of it in my Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog Shares!)…
Hint: you can actually cut those flocked poinsettia flowers with one of the dies in the new Poinsettia Dies set! Cool, huh?
I hope you like and are adding these goodies to your gotta-have-it-right-away list! The catalog goes live on 4 Aug for customers or… you could join Stampin’ Up! with me right now and select any or all of these new goodies to fill your Starter Kit and then get at least 20% off EVERYTHING you buy for as long as you stay active! 😉

P.S. This is the card in the video thumbnail! It’s a CASE of the sample card on page 21 in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog and it uses the fun edgelit die with the holly leaves and pine boughs. I explain in the video how to make it if you prefer this version! Yup – it’s a two-fer. Sort of! 😉

Finn asked me to share a little garden bounty with you.
So here it is – our first Mater Sandwich tomato of the season (which – fun fact – is on a plant that I’d pretty much given up for dead 5 weeks ago!!)
These pictures are about 2 days apart!
Big and starting to get a little blush…
A little more…
…and almost Wonder-Bread-and-mayonnaise ready!
I’m trying to decide…mater sandwich on white bread/mayo/salt/pepper? Or…big slab of mater on half of an Everything Bagel – salt/pepper/slice of cheese on top – under the broiler for a little toast!?!
Both?!?

Hey guys – Happy HAWWWWMP day!! And uhm…it’s Tax Day in the Time of COVID, so….don’t forget!
FYSA – f you’re expecting a new Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog from me in the mail – give it a couple of days and then start looking and bugging Mr. Postman.
And – don’t flame me – I know there are Postwomans…but so far there hasn’t been a song, okay?
In that catalog, one of the MANY wonderful new goodies you’ll see is the Poinsettia Place Suite – anchored by today’s Sneak Peek – the Poinsettia Petals Bundle and Poinsettia Place DSP! I paired those new goodies with the fun and handy Itty Bitty Christmas set from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:
Yep – jumped smack back into my wheelhouse – layers, big bows, greenery and woodgrain! Whoo-hooo!!
The layout for this one was inspired by the sketch challenge over at CAS(E) This Sketch.
I started with some woodgrain paper from the new Poinsettia Place DSP – there are some wonderful designs to choose from in this paper, y’all! And – you can try them all out with one of my paper shares. Just sayin’….
I matted that paper on a piece of Soft Suede with Liquid Glue to create the card front.
Then I took a die in the Stitched Triangles die set – this is destined to be one of my go-to layering die sets!! – and cut a piece of pine-cone-strewn paper.
I laid it on the card front and then put the whole thing into my Stamparatus. With the triangle in place – held with the magnets – I added the small sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas in Soft Suede. I stamped it multiple times in order to get it dark enough and visible on the wood-grain paper.
I stamped the pine bough from Poinsettia Place in Garden Green a couple of times on the card front.
Then I cut a couple of holly leaves using the cutting die and the embossing die in the set. I spritzed the card stock with water before cutting – to really emphasize the embossed veins in the leaves.
I also cut some berries from the wunnermus Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ card stock (I used the Bronze – but there’s also copper and gold in the pack!).
Finally – and this is so stinkin’ cool! – I used the large die in the Poinsettia Die set to cut the flower from one of the designs in the Poinsettia Place DSP.
Whaaaaa??! 😉
I laid it all out and then adhered the leaves and berries with Liquid Glue.
Then I tied a Linen Thread double-loop bow and adhered it, and a Gold Hoop Embellishment, with a Glue Dot. I popped the flower over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some gold Metallic Pearls here, there and…in the middle of the flower…and four Antiqued Corners with Glue Dots – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I once again laid a Poinsettia Place DSP Stitched Triangle die cut on a piece of Whisper White and used my Stamparatus to stamp a second Itty Bitty Christmas sentiment in Soft Suede.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the triangle to the panel and then mat the panel on Soft Suede. Then I adhered the panel inside my Crumb Cake card base with Liquid Glue. I added the card front with Liquid Glue – plenty of dimension already – and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a poinsettia – two of the smaller flower images, stamped in Soft Suede and blended lightly with a Blender Pen, with the flower center colored using my Bumble Bee Stampin’ Write Marker – on the front…
…and more of the Poinsettia Place DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – how gorgeous is this Poinsettia Petals stamp set with the stunning bundled Poinsettia Dies?!?
And it’s made even better knowing you can cut perfectly colored flowers right from the Poinsettia Place DSP using that large die in the bottom righthand corner of the picture above! Oh, yea….you can ALSO cut the flocked poinsettia from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper! Winner Winner!
I hope you like – and have added this suite of goodness to your list for the catalog launch on 4 Aug!!

Good Monday morning, my stamping friends! Hope your weekend was good. We worked in the garden, worked around the house, got catalog envelopes labeled and ready to roll when the catalogs arrive this week….generally stayed hunkered down around here. Watching the news make us think we need to throttle back to our stay-home mode from a couple of weeks ago…. which is good for our to-do list, for sure! 🙂
Yesterday, I gave in to my burning desire to play with the stunning new Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP and the coordinating Beautiful Autumn bundle. These are all in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog which demonstrators are able to order from right now – and customers can get their hands on on 4 Aug! Take a look-see:
Happy Friday, y’all! Been a busy week here, don’t know how it’s been for you. Our garden picked this week to decide to BURST at the seams! I had tomatoes and green beans and chile peppers and tomatillos EVERYWHERE. On every counter surface and in every rinse/drain container I own. So, yesterday I decided I’d better get them “processed”. Let me just say – I can wait a long time to peel and roast another tomatillo, y’all!
Except…I won’t be able to wait – cuz those boogers are just tomatillo-ing their little hearts out! I’ll be peeling/roasting/blending again before I know it!
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! 🙂
The new 2020 Aug – Dec Mini Catalog (formerly known as the Holiday Catalog) is in the hands of UPS and on the way to me – which means it’ll be on the way to YOU shortly! Well – it will be if you’re one of my customers already. Give me a shout if you’re not sure whether you’re on my mailing list, okay? 🙂
And – I’ve gotten a bunch of e-mails these past couple of days – folks who’ve been anxiously awaiting word on my Catalog Shares – so…here ’tis!
