Stampin’ Up! Affectionately Yours Watercolor Wishes!

Posted on June 5, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Home again! Yeah!! Feels good to be back in the fold. The horses were glad to see me – well, they acted like they were glad…coulda just been the prospect of peppermints! 🙂 And I had a lap full of cat last night – which is pretty much about as good as it gets!!

Speaking of peppermints – just a quick reminder that this is such a great time to start filling up those wish lists from the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. In addition to the great specials that SU! is putting on in the month of June – you can earn DOUBLE peppermint rewards points right now thru Wednesday, 8 June! So…git yer shop on! 🙂

The focal point for my card today is the very pretty floral paper in the Affectionately Yours DSP. I used the paper and I replicated the flowers with the Love and Affection stamp set. With the addition of a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes stamp set – available exclusively when you purchase the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit – I ended up with a cheerful summery any occasion card. Take a look-see:

The design for this tall-and-skinny card was inspired by this week’s Mojo Monday challenge sketch #450: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday with Love and Affection

Posted on June 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Finally. It’s Friday. I’ve done my last wake up to an alarm clock for a bit! Driving home tomorrow – all the stuff is packed up – just needs to get in the car! We’re going to have one last dinner at the Olde Pink House tonight and then tomorrow….I’m off!

Today’s card is another one I made across the long weekend, and it makes use of the pretty Love & Affection Stamp Set, plus a little Affectionately Yours DSP. And the Floral Affection TIEF! Take a look-see:

I played along with two challenges on this one. The first, Can You Case It #122, was a sketch challenge: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Sitting Here Timeless Love Anniversary

Posted on May 18, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Hey Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!! Do you know what day it is?

Well, of course you do cuz I started the post out with Hey Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!

Yes – it’s Hawmp Day! AND it’s also just about the half way point of my sojourn here in Savannah! And I’m ready! Not that I’m not enjoying my time here – the people here are fun and the food is certainly spectacular…

But – I am so looking forward to the end of the 4:30 alarm! Or…a 5:30 alarm. Or any alarm at all!! I do just fine when I wake up cuz it’s light outside. The alarm, though, has become my enemy. I’m getting downright pissy with Siri when I tell her to turn the alarm on for the next day! 😉

Waaahhhh – whine much, Mary?!?

You came for a card and that’s what I’m fixin’ to give you! Now – this card isn’t one of my quick and easy’s. Nope – this one took some time and it’s completely my fault. All was going along pretty fast – even given the masking I needed to do – and then I pulled out the Venetian Crochet Trim. And got all creative with it. But – I’m getting ahead of myself! Be warned, though – the steps are easy, but there’s a few of them so, this post may be kinda long…. 😉

This was a special request from a friend who needed a 63rd wedding anniversary card. I used the Large Number Framelits, and the new Sitting Here stamp set (she saw the last card I did with it and liked it!). Timeless Love – a current stamp set – lent me the sentiment. And I pulled out some of the pretty Affectionately Yours DSP. Take a look-see:

I started by tearing the edges off a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I also cut a heart from a piece of Very Vanilla, using the largest die in the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits. Then I tore the edges all the way around the heart. Using a tiny little bit of SNAIL, I lightly adhered the heart to the card front panel. Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Love & Affection

Posted on May 1, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Update 4 May 16: Found out this morning that my card was selected as a Pals Paper Artist Pick! Whoo-hoo! Wanted to thank the folks over at PPA for picking my card amongst all the beautiful projects submitted!

Hey, y’all! Happy Sunday!

If you’re coming over from Amy’s Blog – welcome and thanks for stopping by! Or Welcome Back – as the case may be.

So, yesterday, my friend and I went down to the historic district in Savannah. Our first stop was a restaurant called The Olde Pink House.

My friend Jan had given me the recommendation when she heard I was coming to Savannah – and thank the Lord for that! We waited just a short time, cuz my friend had made us a reservation – and we watched dish after dish being carried out to hungry customers. When we finally got to our table – in fact, the window on the second floor, just to the right of the front porch is where we sat! – we were huuuuungry! We ended up splitting three appetizers – Fried Green Tomatoes, Mac & Cheese Jalapeño Poppers and an onion stuffed with an Andouille sausage and cheese mixture and baked. They were ridiculously good – we barely kept ourselves from licking the plates! And then we both ordered Country Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and collards. Oh. My. Sweet. Lord.

I’m not a fan of boneless chicken breasts – they seem to always be dry as sawdust. But this – this was a juicy work of pure art. Melted in our mouths! Aaron – who doesn’t seem like he should be a foodie, but is! – said he was pretty sure this was the best meal he’d has in his entire life!

So – if you’re ever coming down to Savannah – skip right past The Lady and Sons (trust me on this) and head to The Olde Pink House. The house itself is gorgeous, all the tables are set up in the various rooms of the Havershams’ old and beautiful family home and the wait staff all know little tidbits of history from the house. And the food is beyond spectacular.

In fact – let me re-phrase. You need to start figuring out a reason to come to Savannah! Right now! 🙂

Okay. Card. Not food. On it…

The same friend that I had lunch with had asked me to make him an Anniversary card for his wife. I seem to get a lot of commissions when I’m out on business! 🙂 So, I came up with a card that would suit his (and her) not-so-froofy natures. I used the coming-soon Affectionately Yours DSP and Love & Affection stamp set, and combined it with Timeless Love from the current Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:

I was going for a pretty and elegant card, with not a lot of bling, but some. The copper accents in the new Affectionately Yours DSP was just the ticket, and I played that theme out by also using the new Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Continue reading →
