Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise Thanks for a Single Stamp Set Saturday!

Posted on June 4, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! I’m kind of hoping that when you read this, I’m still half-asleep in bed. And that all my stuff is in the car. But – it’s also kind of likely that all my stuff is still piled up in my room. And that I’m schlepping it down to the car. Also possible that I was anxious to get home and so I woke up too early and got on the road before it was light. Or close to being light. We won’t know until tomorrow. It’s a mystery.

But I hope I’m still in my bed! 🙂

It could happen.

For today – I made you guys a fun thank-you card using the uber-cute Pop of Paradise stamp set and a pretty green and pink color scheme. Take a look-see:

How pretty is Mint Macaron – Emerald Envy – Melon Mambo all put together?! Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Finally. It’s Friday. I’ve done my last wake up to an alarm clock for a bit! Driving home tomorrow – all the stuff is packed up – just needs to get in the car! We’re going to have one last dinner at the Olde Pink House tonight and then tomorrow….I’m off!

Today’s card is another one I made across the long weekend, and it makes use of the pretty Love & Affection Stamp Set, plus a little Affectionately Yours DSP. And the Floral Affection TIEF! Take a look-see:

I played along with two challenges on this one. The first, Can You Case It #122, was a sketch challenge: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Moroccan Botanicals Thank You

Posted on May 30, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good Morning on this Memorial Day Monday! I wanted to take a hot second before getting to today’s card to share a Thank You that I made in honor of this day.

As the song says – All Gave Some and Some Gave All. This day we remember those who gave all in defense of our freedom and the way of life we enjoy here in this great country! Say a prayer for them today – and for those still with us who are serving still, that they may not join the ranks of those who gave all. 🙂

Now – the card I made today is another Thank You – but one that goes a whole different direction! I used the new – on Wednesday! – Moroccan Nights stamp set and the pretty Botanical Builder Framelits. Take a look-see:

I played along with two design sketches for this card – the first drove the layout. Freshly Made Sketches #238: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Blooming Love Cottage Greetings Thanks

Posted on May 29, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all – if you’ve come over from Amy’s blog – thanks for stopping by. Hope you’ll spend a few minutes checking out my card for today – and that perhaps you’ll decide to become a “regular”! If you’re already a regular – thanks so much for electing to spend part of your day with me! 🙂

The card I made today features the beautiful rose image in Bloomin’ Love – a stamp set that was introduced to us in the 2016 Occasions Catalog and that’ll also be with us for the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog! The sentiment comes from the Cottage Greetings set – which has some of the prettiest fonts going! Take a look-see:

I was inspired to build this card by the challenge at The Card Concept, #56: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree for a Simple Single Stamp Set Saturday

Posted on May 28, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good Saturday morning, y’all! I hope you’re enjoying your Memorial Day long-weekend – if you’re traveling, be safe! And take a few minutes this weekend to remember the reason we celebrate, okay?

My card today is a quick and easy one, and you only need one stamp set to make it! The fun and versatile Sheltering Tree – from the current catalog – is all that’s needed to make this one. Take a look-see:

I started by stamping the Sheltering Tree tree image in Crumb Cake in the center of the Whisper White card stock panel. For the leaves, I used Watermelon Wonder – which I stamped off once before putting it on the card. My Watermelon Wonder is really juicy – so depending on how your pad is, you might want to stamp it straight – it’s up to you! The second layer of leaves is done in Daffodil Delight – not stamped off first, just straight! Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Awesomely Artistic Layered Love Easel

Posted on May 27, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday! And happy it truly is – cuz I’m at the hotel, jus’ sleepin’ in ma bed! At least I hope I am – or at least laying in it doing a bunch of nothing! This has been a….loooooonnnggg week, y’all – and I’m flat tuckered. This long weekend has been the beacon of hope – the light at the end of the first part of the tunnel. Four beautiful days off. Oh. My. Goodness. 😉

This card for today is another easel card. I apologize for the quick duplication – but…my friend here asked me for a card (short notice!) for his wife. He/they are moving across the country and she’s leaving her teaching job in CA. He wanted a card to give her. When I ask him what he wanted to say…he kind of looked blank. After some prompting, he wants to tell her that he loves her and that he’s grateful for all she does.

Awwww. That’s totally sweet – even if he needed a little “help” to get there! Yea – he vacuums and cleans the house, too – he’s one of the good guys! So, I really wanted it to be special for him and be a bit of a “wow” card – so the easel card made sense to me. And since it’s so easy…well. It was a no-brainer.

I also had the perfect sentiment in mind – from the new (it’s almost here, folks! Wednesday!!) stamp set called Layered Love. And One Big Meaning also has a great sentiment. I pulled Awesomely Artistic for the beautiful images. Take a look-see:

So – the easel is just a secondary piece of the card! The Awesomely Artistic flowers definitely take front and center. Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Painter’s Palette Fun-Fold Card!

Posted on May 25, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawwwmp Day! The week is half over. Or…considering that I have Friday off – it’s Over-The-Hawwmp Day! And I have the weekend off. And Monday! So…I am totally psyched to have 4 entire days – in a ROW! – to rest and sleep and make cards and maybe….join 3 million of my closest friends to eat at The Olde Pink House again…. and – did I mention sleeping? 😉

Today’s card is really fun. And so ridiculously easy that if you haven’t ever made one – the second that you see the “trick” you’ll be all “why the heck didn’t I do that sooner??” I used a couple of stamp sets on this one….Painter’s Palette (new on 1 June), Suite Sayings, and Watercolor Words. Take a look-see:

So – before I show you the innards, let’s talk about the front, okay? I started by SNAILing a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to a Flirty Flamingo mat. And then to a Basic Black mat. Continue reading →
