Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Valentine Video Sneak Peek and Blog Candy Winners!

Happy Weekend, y’all!  Hope you’ve got something fun planned.  I mean – I’ve heard there’s some sort of big…party?…this weekend.  Like on Sunday.

Some commercials with some really good and tasty and fattening food.  Interspersed with a sporting event of some sort…

Have you heard of it? 😉

Tonight, though – I hope you’ll be able to join me at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page for a quick video tutorial!  We’re going to make a straight-up Valentine’s day card – being that it’s February and all! – using the new Heartfelt stamp set and the Detailed Hearts Dies.  Take a sneaky peek!

I think you’ll like the card – so…I hope you can join me!

Tonight.  7pm Eastern.  Right here!

Now – how about a couple of Blog Candy Winners?? 🙂  I have two Paper Pumpkin Kits to give away – and a bunch of you “answered the mail”.  We had a lot of votes for a lot of favorites in the new 2020 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog.  Thank you to all who took the time to think and sort out your faves – or admit straight up that you just could NOT pick one! 🙂

So – here we go!

Our winner for Kit #1 the December 2019 Something For Everyone Kit

is….


Comment #32 came from Debbie Love who wrote: “How about 3 things? Parisian Beauty Bundle, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Detailed Hearts Die.”

Next up, Kit #2 is the January 2020 I’ll Bee Yours Kit

And the winner is…

Comment #8 – from Carole, who wrote:  “Hi Mary, I think my fav is Grace’s Garden; it has me in Spring mode and I love English gardens which it reminds me of. So happy your plants are growin’!”

Whoo-hooo!!  Congrats, ladies!  I’ll be getting in touch shortly via e-mail to get your mailing addresses and will send your respective kits quick as a bunny!

There’s not really a story or a little funny to go along with these pictures.

Wayne was searching for fur-stickers.  When you’re covered in fuzzy Velcro, those are a perpetual problem.  The struggle is real.

I was on the sofa and looked over and…the expression on the Man’s face and the position he was in was….just too sweet.  It NEEDED to be captured.

So….here ya go!

You’re welcome! 😉

Stampin’ Up! Z-Fold Snowy Carols of Christmas

Good morning, y’all – it’s Monday.

Again.

How in the world does the weekend fly by so darned fast?!?  Sigh…

If you were able to join me last night on my Facebook Live video – thanks so much!  I hope you enjoyed it.  If not, here’s a link to the video on YouTube!

The layout on the front panel was inspired by the sketch this week at the Fusion challenge blog!

The video shows you step-by-step how to make this card.  It starts with a Pool Party base, cut to 5 1/2″ x 10 3/4″ and scored and folded at 4 1/4″ and then at 3 1/4″ from that fold. One cool thing about this kind of card is that it fits inside a normal A2-sized envelope! 🙂

The large end panel – which is the same size as the inside of a regular A2 card – is stamped with the little sparkle image from Carols of Christmas in Pool Party ink and the flourish in Tranquil Tide.  I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line the images up.

The sentiment, also from Carols of Christmas, is stamped in Tranquil Tide on a piece of Whisper White card stock, matted on Tranquil Tide and then Fast Fuse’d into the card on the center panel. Continue reading
