Stampin’ Up! Lovely Words and Mayflowers

Posted on August 30, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all!! Hope your week is going well! If nothing else – it’s half way over!!

And speaking of…day after tomorrow….2017 Holiday Catalog goes LIVE!! Whoo-Hoo!! I can hardly wait for you guys to be able to shop and gather up all the wonderful Fall and Halloween and Christmas and New Year’s goodies!!

Since that’s happening on Friday – that means today and tomorrow are the last days to get a Catalog Share – or to get signed up for one of my Painted Autumn Bundles! So…tarry not!

Now – for today, I decided to pull out an Annual Catalog stamp set – the Falling Flowers set – and its matching die set, the Mayflowers Framelits. When I added a die cut sentiment from the Lovely Words Thinlits….take a look-see:

Lovely Words and Mayflowers - Stamps-N-Lingers 4

This one played along with three challenges today. The first, from Hand Stamped Sentiments, inspired my layout

Next up – a favorite kind of challenge for me, from the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I went right across the bottom row!

Finally, my clean and simple color scheme is from the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

This was an easy card, y’all!

I started with a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and stamped it all over in Whisper White Craft Ink with the flourish image from the Falling Flowers stamp set. Then I made some faux stitches with my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker and Fast Fuse’d it on a Whisper White mat.

My art work is the large flower die in the Mayflowers Framelits. I cut it out twice – once in Whisper White and once in Crumb Cake. I held on to the cut-out pieces from the Crumb Cake flower.

To make the art, I cut the largest circle Stitched Shapes Framelit in Crumb Cake and adhered the Whisper White Mayflowers die cut to it with Liquid Glue. Then I added the Crumb Cake cutouts into the negative spaces with little dabs of Liquid Glue.

I popped the flower-decorated circle over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I cut some leaves and a berry from Whisper White with the Mayflowers dies and adhered them with Liquid Glue, tucking them under the raised-up circle.

Next up is a short length of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon, adhered with a little Liquid Glue.

My sentiment is cut with the Lovely Words Thinlits in Whisper White and Crumb Cake. I did one in Whisper White and two in Crumb Cake and adhered them in a stack. Just a hint – you do have to carefully snip the sentiment out of the panel. Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel finished off the card front.

On the inside I started with a Whisper White panel and adhered the Crumb Cake Mayflowers die cut to it with Liquid Glue. I let it spill off the edge and snipped the excess with my Paper Snips. Then I added some more faux stitches with my Crumb Cake Marker.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Whisper White mat and into my Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a couple of Crumb Cake flowers from the Falling Flowers stamp set on the front…

…and I added the Falling Flowers flourish in Crumb Cake on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I like how the pops of white from the Falling Flowers flourishes and the Mayflowers Framelits die cuts look on the Crumb Cake, don’t you? And the rough textured ribbon with a touch of Rhinestone bling! Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix

A couple days ago, first thing in the morning, I was sitting in the living room in my chair watching some television and having my morning cup of coffee. Wayne was still in bed.

I kept hearing some odd sounds from behind my chair, but it was behind me and dark in the living room.

I’d call Finn and get no response.

I figured he was in the entryway, sleeping. He does that – goes back to bed after going out the first time.

When it was finally time to get up and dress and feed, I discovered him…

Just chillin’, Mom. With my frisbee.

Now – to be honest, the furniture is sort of…discouraged. But…look how cute he is! Who could say anything about that – to that face?!?

Stampin’ Up! Falling May Flower Garden

Posted on March 8, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Although I’m only just realizing what day it is – I spent all day Tuesday thinking it was…Monday? Which is odd since Tuesdays are the day I do my Newsletter and I spent a lot of time getting that ready! But, it’s true – I was discombobulated all day.

Which is why the card I did follows a sketch that closed at noon on Tuesday. And today’s not Tuesday, so… yea.

Speaking of which, I used a technique on this one that I blatantly copied from Amy Koenders. You can see the card she did right here. I justified my overt copying by telling myself the sketch demanded a frame, so…almost all the cards that were submitted have a frame. And how many ways are there to do a frame? But, I did use a completely different stamp set, so there’s that. I pulled out the Falling Flowers bundle and then took a sentiment (and a little tiny bee!) from the Garden in Bloom set. Take a look-see:

So – in addition to the sketch challenge at My Favorite Things – that I missed!, I played along with the Can You CASE It challenge, which gave me my colors.

I started with a plain piece of Whisper White card stock. Then, using the instructions I got over at Amy’s blog, I fashioned a frame. First I used the largest of the square Stitched Shapes Framelits and, with half of the die hanging off the end of the platform (so it wouldn’t cut) I ran it thru the Big Shot and cut the top half. Then I reversed the layout, letting the little “stitches” in the die hook into the stitches that had just been cut to help me line it up. When I ran it thru that second time, I ended up with a rectangle with the stitches cut into it!

I repeated that process using a scallop-edge die in the Squares Layering Framelits to cut out the middle. Once I had run thru the Big Shot twice (both times only cutting half of the die). I ended up with the frame you see. Now, to be fair, I fully expected to have to do it a few times to get it right – but I got lucky on the first go! 🙂

Next up, I used a sticky note that I cut to the size of my frame, and stuck it in the center of my Whisper White card front. Right below the sticky note, I stamped the sentiment from Garden in Bloom in Basic Gray Archival Ink. Then, using the flourish stamp in the Falling Flowers stamp set, I stamped around the sticky note and the sentiment with Smoky Slate ink, that I stamped off once before stamping my card. When I pulled up the sticky note, I had a clear “canvas” for my “picture”. I matted the panel on Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight card stock panels with SNAIL.

Using the images in the Falling Flowers stamp set, I stamped a few leaves in Smoky Slate (full strength). Then I cut a sticky note mask (knew that was coming, didn’t you!!) and covered them up one at a time to stamp the little berry image in stamped-off-once Daffodil Delight. I lined the back of my frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals and stuck the frame over the top of my canvas.

Then I stamped several flowers in Tempting Turquoise (the large two are full strength and the little ones are stamped-off-once) and some berries in full strength Daffodil Delight (I colored them in with my Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil), and cut them all out with the matching dies in the May Flowers Framelits. Then I colored the large flowers in with my alcohol-filled Aqua Painter, using ink from the lid of my Tempting Turquoise stamp pad.

I used Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere them to the frame to get a 3-D effect and some Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight Enamel Shapes for the middle of the flowers.

Finally, I stamped the little bee from the Garden in Bloom stamp set in Basic Gray Archival Ink on Whisper White, colored him in with my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker and fussy cut him. Then I stuck him to his flower with a little Liquid Glue – and brushed his wings with the Clear Wink of Stella.

And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Garden in Bloom in Basic Gray in the middle of a Whisper White panel. Then, using some sticky note masks, I stamped some Tempting Turquoise flowers and Smoky Slate leaves at the bottom. I stamped the two large flowers first, covered them with their masks, and stamped the rest of the images “behind” them. I lightly colored the centers of the large flowers with my Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil!

I double matted the panel on Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight and SNAILd it into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

On my Whisper White Medium Envelope, I repeated the Falling Flowers images on the front…

…and gave the envelope flap a stamped-off-once Smoky Slate Falling Flowers flourish. Then I added another little bee in the corner. Cuz I like him! 🙂

Et Voila! I really kind of never get tired of all the beautiful flower images that Stampin’ Up! brings to us – and this Falling Flowers bundle is definitley one of my faves! And the fact that they give us so many matching dies is just the icing on the cake! Hope you like!

‘Member me saying yesterday I figured it wouldn’t be long before FInn-Chewie figured out the transition from stairs to lap?

Well.

Sure ’nuff! As soon as I hit “schedule” on the post and closed up shop, he gracefully (-ish) stepped across the gap and onto my lap.

So I took a few (dozen!) close-ups!

What a face!

Stampin’ Up! May Flowers One Big Meaning Thanks – and the Blog Candy Winner!

Posted on March 1, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope it’s going well so far this week. My meeting has been very productive and well worth the effort it took to get out here (she admits grudgingly….). Today I’ll be headed back to the airport and on the way home in the morning!

My card for today is a spring-y, flowered-y thank you card, using the fun Falling Flowers stamp set and matching May Flowers Framelits and one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets: One Big Meaning! When I added the gorgeous Blooms & Bliss DSP, here’s what I came up with. Take a look-see:

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch to help me with the layout.

I started with a panel of Mint Macaron and Island Indigo flowers paper from the Blooms & Bliss DSP and SNAILd it to a Blushing Bride mat. Using the new Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper, I cut out two sets of leaves with the May Flowers Framelits and adhered them to my card front with Liquid Glue.

The center layer is a piece of Whisper White card stock. First I used the two leaves images in the Falling Flowers stamp set – stamping them all over the panel in Mint Macaron and Island Indigo ink. I matted the panel on Blushing Bride, then ran the whole thing thru my Big Shot in the Petal Burst TIEF. Then I popped that over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut two Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper leaves and a Blushing Bride flower with the May Flowers Framelits, then used Liquid Glue to adhere them to the middle panel.

My sentiment, from One Big Meaning, is heat embossed in Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a strip of Vellum card stock. I adhered the vellum to a piece of Whisper White card stock – using tiny bits of glue from my Fine Tip Glue Pen under just the embossed words to hide the glue. Then I used my Banner Triple Punch on both ends.

I used some Liquid Glue to adhere the sentiment banner and then added a tiny bow made from Whisper White Thick Bakers Twine and a Blushing Bride Enamel Shape – and that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the pretty flower from Falling Flowers in Blushing Bride on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then I added a sticky note mask over it and stamped a few Mint Macaron leaves.

I SNAILd the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Island Indigo card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the Falling Flowers flower and leaves on the front…

…and a touch more of the Blooms & Bliss DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! This is such a pretty bundle of flowers and leaves – the Falling Flowers stamp set and matching May Flowers Framelits! And I really love it with the Blooms & Bliss DSP! Hope you like!

FINN-FAN FIX….

Heard a report that my sweet little puppy….ran a little ways into the woods yesterday and came out with…a deer leg!

Bleh….

Maybe a coyote got it? Perhaps a hunter tossed a carcass?

I don’t know. But…it does prove that…sweet as he is….he is….in the end…a ~~dog~~ wolf!

What happened to this little guy who just wanted to play in a water bowl and carry toys and sticks??

They grow up so quick….

Posted on January 31, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all! It’s Tuesday! Hope your week is going well! Being Tuesday, I’ve got a couple of updates from Stampin’ Up! that I’ve added down below. Be sure to check them out, okay?

He loves him some tiny milk bones! And he does know what “come” means…just sometimes…he doesn’t want to!

But – we’re working on it – repetition repetition repetition! One day…ONE day…the conditioning will overcome the “don’t want to”!
