Stampin’ Up! Awesomely Artistic What I Love Thanks!

Posted on February 29, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Update on 1 Mar 16: This card was selected as a runner-up (Princess) at Freshly Made Sketches! Whoo-hoo and many thanks to the ladies over at FMS for picking my card out of all the wonderful cards submitted. Please take a minute and go check out the Queen of Clean (Wendy – from Simply Made) and the other Princesses! 🙂

Well, it was a spectacularly gorgeous day here in Atlanta – the kind of day that makes those of us who live here glad of it! And helps to make up for the really cold winter days and the oh-so-freakin’-humid summers! Southerners know that Spring (and Spring-like days in February!) and Fall are our reward for the winter and summer. Heck if every day in the South was like today – folk would be flocking here even more than they already do! 🙂

Today’s thank-you card (yes, I need a lot of thank-you cards!) brings back one of the beautiful springy stamp sets from the Annual Catalog. Awesomely Artistic has one of the prettiest floral stamps that I’ve seen. I grabbed a sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration set called What I Love and some pretty paper from the Birthday Bouquet DSP and….take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals Thanks For You!

Posted on February 12, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Well, it’s happened. I’ve got projects to share stockpiled on my desk. We’re done with our project. There’re no more excuses. All that’s left is to tape together boxes, load them up and get them to the post office tomorrow. And then I’m out on Saturday! I do have to keep reminding myself that I have tomorrow to pack and mail and mentally prepare. You’d think I’d be extra anxious to leave and get home, but…I’m not all that comfortable with changes. It’s forever been true for me that I’m better at being gone than I am at getting gone. It’s why I do 3 – 4 month trips versus a couple of weeks and then home and then back and then home…. I nest up. I get comfy where I am and in the routine du jour. Switching it up….yuk.

But, tomorrow it’s time – and, truthfully, once I start the process and get into it – all will be well. It’s funny, I can almost feel my brain make the transition from being “here” to being “there”. I can’t predict when it will happen – but I’ll all of a sudden realize, sometime between right this second and getting on the plane on Sunday….I’m ready to be home!

And that probably falls into the TMI category, and what-the-heck-is-she-talking-about-why-doesn’t-she-get-on-with-the-card!! 😉 Sorry.

So, for today, I have a card that leans heavily on some of the beautiful papers and stamps in the Sale-a-Bration flyer. Wildflower Fields DSP is some of the prettiest paper I’ve seen. I’ve combined it with another of the free goodies in the SAB – Botanicals For You. Add in the ever-versatile One Big Meaning, from the Annual Catalog and a little Botanical Garden Designer Vellum and….take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Sunburst Sayings Thanks!

Posted on February 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Hey there, y’all! It’s the next to last hauwmp day that I’ll be coming to you from Arizona! Yep – the countdown is on. Well, I’ve been counting down since I got here, but we’re practically to single digits now! 🙂

My only regret will be leaving my little stamping spot that I’ve set up in my hotel. It’s really been quite awesome! If you missed the post where I showed you those pictures, check it out here! (Just don’t get excited by the words Blog Candy – that contest is over. Sorry! 🙁 )

The card I made to share with you today uses the cool Botanical Builders Framelits from the Occasions catalog. Last weekend, my new friend Carole bought the great Botanical Blooms bundle (hard not to when you realize that you get the Stamps and the Framelits and the coordinating DSP! And that it instantly earns you a free SAB item!) and asked if we could do a card using it this Saturday when she and Kelly come back to stamp some more. So… here’s what we’re going to make. It uses sentiments from the new Sunburst Sayings stamp set, too. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Hello and a Limited Time Offer!

Posted on January 18, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday! I can totally say that today because….I’ve got the day off! Whoo-HOOOOO!! As I sit here typing this post – on Sunday night – I’m completely free of the “Sunday night blues”! I’ve just spent the day – in my pajamas! – listening to music on my computer thru my bluetooth speaker (Christmas present – thanks Martin’s!), reading and making cards. With a couple of meals thrown in. Heck, I even left the Do Not Disturb sign on all day.

And I have every intention of repeating the whole thing again tomorrow. Well – might have to let housekeeping come – I’m going to be out of coffee and that’s unacceptable! 😉

So, what did I make today? This card, that uses one of my bug-a-boo designs from the Botanical Gardens DSP. Just a hard design and color combo for me, but I decided to give it a go! I combined that with the Botanical Builder Framelits and the Hello You Thinlits and that was it. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals Just For You!

Posted on January 9, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy First-Day-Of-The-Weekend, folks! I hope you have pretty weather and a lovely day planned! My day revolves around frantically trying to finish up a few cards to take with me for next week. Oh – and packing. Clothes are easy! Stampin’ stuff….not so much! What to take? What to leave? What if I leave something and then just NEED it when I’m there?!?! Oh the stress! I’m thinkin’ that I’m going to take only Occasions and SAB stamps and DSPs…and a couple of staple sentiment sets from the Annual Catalog. And the card stock that coordinates with the DSP. And punches. And Framelits. And TIEFs. And – of course! – my Big Shot! Which sounds like a completely doable (if suitcase-busting!) plan. If only I could wiggle my nose like Samantha Stevens and my bags would be packed! I kinda dated myself right there, didn’t I!?!? 😉

Anyway – I’ve got a pretty card to share today that uses what is likely my very favorite suite from the Occasions Catalog – the Botanical Gardens Suite. I love everything associated with this suite. This card uses the Botanical Builder Framelits and the Botanical Gardens DSP. I combined it with a sentiment from Watercolor Words (another fave set from the Annual Catalog), and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love Blossoms Sneak Peek Sampler for the Happy Stamper’s Blog Hop

Posted on December 31, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Here we go, folks – the very last Happy Stampers Blog Hop of the year. When next we meet, it’ll be 2016! I hope that you’ll take a moment on this – the last day of the year – to check out the card I have to share, and then hop thru all the other ladies’ posts to peruse their projects as well!

I used several designs from the Love Blossoms DSP Stack (coming on 5 Jan) to make a sort of sampler. Then I pulled the huge and gorgeous heart die and a few stamps from my Bloomin’ Love Bundle to finish it off. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Sneak Peek

Posted on December 27, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday – hope that your day-after-Christmas was fun and safe. Did anyone go see Star Wars? We haven’t had a chance to go yet, but my brother tells me it’s awesome! Considering that I saw the original – yes, about a thousand years ago! – like 10 times….I can’t wait to see it. If you haven’t seen it yet, he recommends seeing it in the largest screen you can! 🙂

My card share for today is another sneak peek at the coming-soon-in-the-2016-Occasions-Catalog Botanical Builder Framelits. I also used some of the Botanicals For You and the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack. Those two items are in the Sale-A-Bration flyer – we’ll talk about that at the end of the post. When I combined those new products with some Kraft Corrugated Paper, here’s what I came up with. Take a look-see:
