Good morning again, y’all! As promised, here’s the post you’ve been waiting for! If you didn’t get a chance to see the card I shared this morning – with the sneak peek of the new Fancy Flora Suite – here ‘tis!
Thanks to everyone who left a comment to tell us what they’re looking forward to in the new catalog! We’re getting closer to being able to get it ALL, y’all!!
So…I put the numbers into the Random picker and….our first winner – for the Cozy & Bright Kit – is….
Good morning and happy Sunday! Got a little scare last night – I was afraid THIS was Fall-Back-Weekend!! 😳😳😳 I am NOT ready to go back to the Dark Time Schedule (DST). Are you?!? 🤔 Fortunately, we’ve still got a few weeks yet! Whew!
If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live Tutorial, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me. If not, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube, here ’tis!
Oh. My. Goodness. It’s DECEMBER, y’all! Can you believe that? Which means less than a month away from Christmas!!
And – we’re less than a month from the Reason for the Season – which I am really celebrating with today’s card from the Peaceful Nativity Bundle and some shiny Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
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!
Hope I’ll see y’all tonight!

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! And…happy it’s-almost-September! Which means there are several important things drawing to a RAPID end – and some exciting new fun on the horizon. So I wanted to take a minute to share all the haps. And reveal our Paper Pumpkin Blog Candy winner!
But first – I know you’re going to scroll down to see what the Man has been up to so….
I’ll wait. 😉
Okay – good to go?
Let’s start with the things that are coming to an end.
This will be a long post – but…bear with me. These are important things for you inquiring minded folk to know!
First up is….the Extra Extra Joining Special!
There are only four more days (including TODAY!!) to take advantage of the Bestest Stampin’ Up! Bundle EVER!! Here are NINE reasons why joining the Team before the end of August is just the right thing to do!

…as a Demonstrator, you get to see – and ORDER FROM!! – every new catalog long before customers do! So – in November, you’ll get to order from the 2020 Occasions Catalog!!
You’ll join the fun and active Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew family! We have a great online community where we have challenges, post photos of our creations, share inspiration and ideas, and win prizes!!

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! 😉

Hey y’all! This is your last day to save 50% on a fun Paper Pumpkin kit! Scroll on down for the details and to get signed up.
I want to thank everyone who entered my Paper Pumpkin Blog Candy giveaway – there’s definitely a lot of love for Stampin’ Up!’s wonderful Designer Series Paper, that’s evident! 🙂
If you remember – I have two Paper Pumpkin Kits to give away. The first number pulled will receive a Broadway Star kit from June!
Good morning, y’all! It’s here!
And – I wrote a song for the occasion…
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…
Good morning – again! This is my THIRD post of the day – I shared cards for the Stamp Ink Paper challenge and then for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop earlier today.
This post is to announce the three winners of my 2018 Happy New Year Blog Candy! I used my handy dandy Random Number generator – three times! – and here’s how the “dice” rolled!
So…the winner of Package #1 (A Cottage Greetings Project Kit and Cottage Greetings stamp set, a bunch of Stampin’ Spots in all sorts of colors, and a slew of cards and card fronts for you to use/embellish/finish!) is… Continue reading
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
Well – we’ve got new Weekly Deals ready for your shopping pleasure. Read down to see what’s available!
And here’s an exciting update from Stampin’ Up! At least, I’m excited – I hope you will be, too! SU! told us this morning that the Woodland TIEF – previously announced to be retiring in January…….drum roll, please!…..will be returning instead! Yes, it’s true – Stampin’ Up! has decided to take this seriously popular item off the retiring list and put it on the returning list for the 2016 Annual Catalog!! The TIEF will take a temporary hiatus from now until the 2016 Annual Catalog opens up – so get it on your wish lists and be looking for it next summer Whoo-hoo! Woodland is one of my very favorite things in this Holiday catalog – so, this was a really welcome surprise this morning! Here’s just one of the cards I’ve shared using the wonderful embossing folder! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I want to remind everyone that the shares are open for the 2016 Occasions Catalog Shares. There’s a couple of options – you can get a sampling of all the new Designer Specialty Papers. With this option, you’ll get 80 6″x6″ sheets of beautiful new papers. The second option is a share of the new Ribbons, Trims and Embellishments. If you choose this option, you’ll get 16 yards of ribbon and 46 new embellishments. Or – and this is the most popular choice – you can HAVE IT ALL! Pick this one – and get the 80 6″x6″ sheets of DSP, 10 yards of Ribbon and 46 Embellishments. AND – I’ll ship it out Priority Mail for free. There’s that good 4-letter word again! 🙂
