Happy Labor Day, y’all! So…I was thinking. Why on LABOR day do some of us take the day OFF?? Doesn’t that seem a little….backwards? Or is that just me?
I’m planning a mix of labor and chill today. Do not ask me the percentages of each – won’t know that until this evening! 😉
So – card. I pulled out the fun Words of Cheer bundle when I saw the vertical sentiment on a challenge sketch – and added a ton of texture to it with the Bark AND Wintry 3D Embossing Folders! Take a look-see:
Happy Middle-of-the-Weekend Day! AKA Sunday! I mean – I HOPE it’s just the mid-way thru your weekend and that you have a day off to look forward to tomorrow!
Just a programming note – since I’m not a bank or post office – I WILL be doing my Monday Zoom the Craftroom at 2pm Eastern time! If you’ve ordered from me this month – you’ve got the zoom link and I hope to see you then! If you haven’t – there’s still time to get it! 😉
If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me. If not, but you’d like to see how to make this wintry card on YouTube, here ’tis!
Well – happy Friday again! Last weekend was so busy – and FUN! – that it’s nice to say there’s…really nothing on the schedule for THIS weekend! I know there are a lot of you out there in Blog-land that are in the clean-up phase after Ida – so that’s going to be a lot of hard work for a hot minute! Sending positive thoughts and prayers out to you!
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see how to make this card (it’s got some fun techniques in it – including a Double-Loop Bow demo!) – here’s the link to it on my YouTube channel!
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I saw a fun theme challenge this week, to go with our sketch, so I pulled out the cute Penguin Place bundle, some (FREE!!) Penguin Playmates DSP and the Sparkle of the Season bundle to make you a penguin-themed Christmas card. Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwmp Day! And – I think it’s like…a SUPER hawwwwmp day – cuz it’s a new month AND it marks the half-way point of Sale-A-Bration!
To sort of celebrate that – I’ve made a card today that is CHOCK-A-BLOCK full of FREE goodies from Sale-a-Bration. And…from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The star of the show is the Counting Sheep stamp set with the matching Sheep Dies. Each of these is a free Level 1 ($50) selection in the Aug – Sep 2021 Sale-A-Bration catalog. Spend $100 (before shipping & tax) and you can get them both! AND – I used the Pattern Party DSP – which is a host-exclusive pack of paper in the current Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:
Well – good morning, y’all! Did you have a good weekend? Mine was busy – and fun! After Backstage on Friday and Saturday, we had our great Check Out The Krew FB event and it was great! If you were able to join us – I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! If you couldn’t watch – there’s a lot of good info still on the page – and…maybe even some prize patrols still open! 😉 And – I hope you are – or will be! – thinking about taking advantage of the great opportunity to join Stampin’ Up! with our team! We’d love to have you in our Stampin’ Up! family!
The card I made for you today is probably going to make you say….Mary, is that YOUR card?! 😳 It even surprised me! I used the pretty Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP to make a….clean-and-simple, masculine!…card! Gorgeous Leaves and its bundled Intricate Leaves die set paired with a simple sentiment from the Reflected in Nature stamp set. Take a look-see:
Good morning, everyone. It’s Friday – but…it’s hard to be happy today. My heart is breaking for the families of the Marines and Sailor who were killed yesterday in Kabul. My prayers for Peace are going to them and for strength and courage to the men and women who remain in harm’s way.
Okay. Shaking it off for a minute.

Well – it’s Saturday, y’all! Do you have something fun planned?? I hope you do. I think ours will be pretty quiet – don’t see anything on the horizon, so… 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
All of which means that nothing short of the internet going down for…all day!…will keep me from hopping on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page with you tonight at 7pm Eastern! I’ve got a fun card – and it’s super easy – and super repeatable – for you. Which is really awesome as we head into the holidays! Take a look-see:

The sketch this week is a nice and simple one – so I decided to use a big focal sentiment – from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set – and some cozy paper from Heartwarming Hugs. Simple! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Well – Fred came and Fred went. He was a soggy booger but that was about it. Not even any lightning! I am not complaining – I promise! 🙂
I pulled out a new bundle to show you today – the Words of Cheer bundle! It’s got some faves for me – sentiment die cuts and pines! And I paired it with a little Penguin Playmates DSP. Take a look-see:
