Stampin’ Up! Botanical Playful Pals

Posted on April 8, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good Morning – it’s Friday again! Wow – time is just flying by, isn’t it? Only 5 more days until we leave for OnStage. End of the month is fast approaching as well, which will bring a trip to Savannah and the arrival of tomato and pepper plants – all ready for transplanting! Hopefully not all at the same time! 🙂

Do y’all know about a company called Territorial Seeds? If you like to garden and grow veggies in the summer (or fall or whenever!) this is a great source of seed and – what I love! – plants! You can select when you want them to arrive, based on the best time for your neck of the woods. Then they come all cozy in their packaging – some of the best I’ve ever seen – and they’re ready to harden off and plant. This will be my third year using them (I get nothing from this – I just really like them!) and have had superb results every year. Just throwin’ that out there! 🙂

So, the last time we had a meeting with Amy Koenders, she gave us all a little gift – like she always does! This time around, I picked the Playful Pals stamp set, bundled with the Pyramid Pals Thinlits. I finally decided to get it out and play with it. I added some Botanical Gardens DSP and a flower from the Botanical Builder, and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

LOL, I love how the frog has a sort of goofy expression on his face – he’s obviously tickled for having snagged him a little snackerel – and maybe he even wants to present it to the birthday girl or boy as a special gift! Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Large Numbers Balloon Celebration Birthday

Posted on March 12, 2016 by stampsnlingers

‘Sup, y’all? I hope that you’re getting ready for a fun and relaxing weekend! I’ll be busily trying to get ahead on cards for the week – I’ll be out of town Monday thru Thursday! And, for these short trips, I don’t take supplies and tools – I’m always so tired at the end of the work day that I don’t even have the energy to stamp. 🙁 I have to take cards ready to blog (oh – and I need their pictures with me, too!). So….busy weekend! But that’s a good kind of work, yes? – stamping and making cards. Poor pitiful me! 😉

Today’s card is a birthday card. For a little boy who’ll be turning one in a week. Yes, I said one.

I’m pretty sure he’s going to have zero appreciation for this card. Heck, he probably won’t even care about his present. Maybe he’ll eat cake? Ice Cream? What do one year olds even eat, besides baby food?!? Well, that’s for his parents to worry about – just like this card is really for his parents! 😉

I used the fun Large Numbers Framelits and its matching and bundled stamp set called Number of Years. I added a few Balloon Celebration balloons and pulled out some Cherry on Top DSP. Take a look-see:
