Well – it’s been real and it’s been fun – but…the time for the sale to end has…come!
Wow. If this card-making gig doesn’t work out…I think I have a career as a poet to fall back on, don’t you!? 😎
Any-whoooo….just a reminder that tonight marks the end of your opportunity to save 15% on our spectacular Designer Seriers Papers from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! To celebrate the middle of the week – the cresting of the hill – the mounting of the summit – I am going to…the Dentist!! Whoo-hoo! I mean – who among us does NOT celebrate by going to the dentist. 🤷♀️ It’s just a cleaning but…I think I have a tooth that maybe cracked. Maybe. So – that could end up being a PITA!
But – I’m not going to think about that right. now – fiddlydeedee! Instead – I’ll think about Christmas! And I’ll do it with this sneak peek of the Decorative Trees bundle and some festive Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP. And a few other little goodies that are coming soon in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini catalog – ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Whoo-hoo! Take a look-see:
Happy Monday, y’all – it’s the LAST Monday in August, believe it or don’t. I think I even detect it trying to be a little cooler. Pretty soon – at the rate it’s going – I’ll be pulling out the Carhartts and griping about being cold. Perhaps you’ve figured out that I have about a 2 degree “window” of okay-ness-with-the-temperature! I’m anticipating seeing a little extra fuzz start to build up on Cady any day now!
My card today is ALL about sunshine and smiles! Literally! It’s from the new Enjoying Little Things stamp set. What? You missed it? Well – take another look – it’s on page 61 in the new Sept-Dec 2024 Mini catalog and you only have NINE more days to wait before you can get it – and EVERYTHING! – in the new catalog! Whoo-hoo! In the meantime – take a look-see at this card!
Happy Half-Way-Thru-the-Weekend, y’all! Hope yours is going well! We’ve had a Fall-snap here – a bit chilly in the morning and pleasant outside most of the day. If only I thought it would last! 🤷♀️
My card today spans the seasons a bit – a little summery, a little Fall-y. A lot pretty – all thanks to the Nests of Winter DSP and coordinating Winterly Tree Tops stamp set – all in the new Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog and available on 4 September! I added some Birch Wood 3D Embossing and…take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well! We’re just here doing all the things! Re-arranging my craft room is on my To-Do List this week – got some new tool cabinets (aka craft cabinets coming) and want to be set up and ready for our Online Decorative Trees class in September! 🙂
My card for today goes back into the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and pulls the gorgeous Mediterranean Blooms DSP – one of my faves ever (AND on sale this month for 15% Off!!). And I added a sentiment and some foliage from the coordinating Citrus Blooms stamp set and bundled dies. Take a look-see:
Monday, Monday…it’s Monday and time to head to work! Or to the craft room. Or – in Finny’s case – to the groomer!! Hopefully he’ll drop off a whole DOG’S worth of fur – I mean…he does it all over the house so….ought to be easy at the groomer, right?!? 🤦♀️
My card today is another sneak peek from the Sep – Dec 2024 Mini Catalog! It’s a punch bundle – called Humble Home – and it’s super cute! Then I pulled a couple of papers from the A Little Festive Specialty DSP! And it all came together to make a clean and simple thank you card. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Fall Frenzy! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
There’s a sweet little stamp set in the new catalog, called Caring Leaves and…it’s very simple. Four images. Two sentiments. But…so beautiful and full of promise! So – I used it to make a pretty thank you card, pairing it with my favoritest paper pattern – the plaid in the new Snowy Scenes DSP. Take a look-see:
Well. It’s Monday again! If you haven’t taken advantage of the Stamp-N-Storage FREE SHIPPING – today’s the last day to do it! I got my two new Drawer Cabinets ordered and…will have to be doing some room-re-arranging when they arrive! Can’t wait to being back to ONE DSP pack per drawer! Whoo-hooo!!
One of the NEW papers that is occupying one of my cabinet drawers is the stunning Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP – and it is INDEED “splendid”! For today’s sneak peek card, I added some sentiments and die cuts from the coordinating Autumn Expressions bundle! And it’ll ALL be available on 4 Sept in the new Sep-Dec 2024 Mini catalog. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one if from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.
I did a quick video on how to make this one, which is posted on Instagram. You can see it on YouTube right here!
I started by adhering a piece of the Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.
Next, I used the frame die from the coordinating Autumn Expressions set to cut out two pieces of a different – floral – design from the DSP.
Using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals – I adhered the two die cuts to the top and bottom of the card front.
On a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock, I stamped the tree-rings image from Autumn Expressions in Mossy Meadow. I stamped it multiple times – letting the rings overlap. Note: I covered as much of the cardstock as I needed to so that when I cut out the largest Stylish Shapes banner – the entire thing would be covered with the rings.
When the ink was REALLY REALLY dry, I rubbed it with my Embossing Buddy and stamped the Autumn Expressions sentiment in Versamark Ink.
I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and heat set it using the Heat Tool. When it was cool, I cut it out with the largest Stylish Shapes banner die.
I used the dies to cut out two boughs from Mossy Meadow, one bough from Wild Wheat and one leaf from Copper Clay cardstocks.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the leaves.
I tied a double-loop Linen Thread bow (aka the Farrah Fawcett bow!) and adhered it with some Liquid Glue.
Then I adhered the sentiment with double-stacked Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some Earth Tones Shimmer Gems in Copper Clay and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped one of the large sentiments from Autumn Expressions in Copper Clay on a Basic White panel. Over the top, I stamped the leaf image from the set in stamped-off-once Mossy Meadow ink. Then I added another Copper Clay Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Autumn Expressions leaf in full-strength Mossy Meadow ink on the front…
…and more Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Okay – I think it’s pretty obvious that Splendid Autumn is going to be one of my – and YOUR! – favorite Suites in the new catalog! Between the Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ DSP…
…and the coordinating Autumn Expressions bundle – it’s a clear winner!!
I can’t wait for you to be able to pick it up on 4 Sept!! 🙂

I made a pot of Steel Cut oatmeal the other day and, after putting it into the container to go in thre fridge, the man was in his usual spot – inquiring as to the availability of the pot for lickings. So…
Checking it out…
There was a little dramatic licking action.
I thought I had a winner.
But…
What – exactly!? – IS this, Mom?!?
And…
THAT’S a hard pass, Mom. I’m out.
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️

Good Sunday morning, y’all! Hope you’re having a great weekend! We spent yesterday indoors cuz…well. Summer in Georgia! And I knocked out a bunch of projects for a special…SURPRISE!…that I’ve got for you. It’s coming soon – and you’re going to want to take part. So…be watching for news in future posts! 🙂
But – for TODAY – I’ve got another Sneak Peek from the Sept – Dec 2024 Mini Catalog, which goes live to customers on 4 Sept! This one features the Peaceful Evergreens bundle and Season of Elegance Specialty DSP – both from the Season of Elegance Suite. But…I turned it into a birthday card – and it could for sure be for a MASCULINE birthday! – by snagging a sentiment from the Round We Go stamp set (in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!). Take a look-see:
Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is going well! It’s so humid here – it feels like you need SCUBA gear just to be outside! Word on the street is that next week the humidity will drop a bit. From that local-lore to God’s ears! Yikes!
Also – this would be a good day to do some stocking up on Designer Series Paper – with a cool 15% off! That sale is going on thru 31 Aug! While you’re at it – be sure that you’ve got somewhere to STORE that paper – Stamp-N-Storage is having a FREE SHIPPING sale this weekend (thru Monday) – so….it’s like it’s meant to be! I’ve got TWO more Cabinet Drawers in my shopping cart and they’ll be a great addition to my space to hold ALL my DSPs!!
As for this evening, I’ve got a pretty card for you – and it’ll be a…COOL!…breath of air. I just made that up – LOL! – but I DO think you’ll like the card! 😎 I hope you’ll c’mon over, tonight at 7pm Eastern, to my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel for this week’s Saturday Night Live!
