It’s HAAAWWWWMMMP Day! Again! Peeps – the days just be flying by. Before you know it it’ll be Halloween – then Thanksgiving – then…CHRISTMAS.
YIKES!
So – it’s time to start thinking about spooky cards, thankful cards and Christmas cards!!
Last weekend, at Stamptember, we made a few cards that would fit into these categories pretty nicely. I’ll share a couple more with you – including today’s beauty from the Frosted Foliage stamp set and Feels Like Frost Specialty 6″ x 6″ DSP. Take a look-see:
Good Monday, y’all! Sorry if “Good Monday” is still an oxymoron for you! 😉
Before we get going – don’t miss out on your chance to earn Double Peppermints, okay? Today and tomorrow is all that’s left! JS.
My card today is a frosty one – using the gorgeous and wunnermus Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP and the Snow Front stamp set. With an assist from the Memories of Home set for some sentiments! Take a look-see:
So – good mornin’, y’all! It’s Tuesday – almost the last Tuesday I’ll be in Utah. I’ll actually admit that I’ll miss it here a little – the scenery is ridiculously gorgeous – especially when there’s some weather around! I’m betting in the middle of July it might not be so appealing to me…
I had a happy little surprise the other day – the nice folks at Stamp Ink Paper asked me to stay on as a permanent member of their Design Team! Sending them a big Thank You!
Our Challenge #124 this week is a theme – Girl’s Night Out!
Since I don’t have a hang-around-the-house-watching-a-movie-and-making-s’mores-and-falling-asleep-at-8 stamp set, I had to channel some more adventurous friends! So, I used the Merry Little Labels stamp set and some fun paper from the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
See? It’s “girl’s” cuz of the pink.
Don’t judge – it was all I could come up with.
I’m a pretty boring person, y’all. Sorry to have to break it to you!! 🙂
I started by Fast Fusing the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP to a Powder Pink mat for the card front.
Next, I used Glue Dots to adhere a length of Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon to the card front in an oh-so-artsy manner. Over that, with some Liquid Glue, I adhered a silver Foil Snowflake.
I inked up the Merry Little Labels sentiment in Versamark and stamped it on a piece of Powder Pink card stock. Then I sprinkled it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated it with my Heat Tool. I cut it out with a Stitched Shapes Framelits circle die and popped it over the snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a single Black Rhinestone Jewel and that was it for the card front.
On the inside, I matted a Whisper White panel on a Powder Pink mat and added a thin strip of the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP, also matted on Powder Pink, across the bottom. I wrapped a length of the Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon around, securing it in the back with scotch tape. Then I made a little “faux bow” with another short length of the ribbon.
.I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Powder Pink mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a couple of strips of Washi Tape across the front – two silver strips from the Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape and one black-and-white strip from the Pick A Pattern Washi. I colored the little tiny white lines with my Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker…
..and I added more of the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I’m not a big drinker, but I’m certainly a big eater!! And if staying in with the girls and watching a movie isn’t on the agenda – then going out for a good meal surely would be! I think the Merry Little Labels captured it pretty well – and the Year of Cheer Specialty DSP certainly looks like a good time is being had. Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix
After a few days of rain – and a quick switch back to closed doors and air conditioning – Saturday dawned as one of those perfect almost-Fall-in Georgia days.
Humidity down.
Temperature down.
Wayne put on a hoody!
And we opened the doors and windows again.
Everybody likes to sit and smell the fresh air, watch the birds and squirrels and chippies.
Handsome dude, isn’t he?? 🙂

Happy Saturday-of-a-long-weekend, y’all! Hope you’re fixin’ to do something fun! We’re going to run some errands today – Finny’ll be in his kennel 🙁 – and then we’ll make it up to him on Monday! We’re going over to Scout’s house. I hear she’s BBQing!
No. That’s silly – she has no thumbs.
My card today uses a couple of goodies in the Holiday Catalog – the Snowflake Sentiments and Season to Sparkle stamp sets, plus a few dies from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits – to make a pretty clean-and-simple holiday card. Take a look-see:
The layout was inspired by this week’s sketch at the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge.
I had such a good time making my Crumb Cake and Whisper White card the other day, that I decided to go monochromatic again.
First off, I cut a panel of Whisper White card stock and embossed it in the new Winter Wonder TIEF and Fast Fuse’d it to a Fresh Fig mat.
Using the three snowflake dies in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, I cut three snowflakes from Dazzling Diamonds and Silver Glimmer Paper. I used Liquid Glue to add the Dazzling Diamonds snowflakes to the card front.
Next, I wrapped a piece of Fresh Fig 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon around the panel, securing it in the back with scotch tape.
The sentiment, from Season to Sparkle, is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a strip of Fresh Fig. I snipped a banner end and then used my Handheld Stapler to adhere it to a bannerized strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.
I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Liquid Glue, added one of the Silver Glimmer Paper snowflakes and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Season to Sparkle in Fresh Fig on a Whisper White panel. Then I added the other two Silver Glimmer Paper snowflakes with Liquid Glue, snipping the excess off the larger flake.
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Fresh Fig mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a few Snowflake Sentiments snowflakes heat embossed in Silver on the front…
…and on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Clean. Simple. And yet…a little bit sparkly! Love this new Winter Wonder TIEF, don’t you? And the snowflakes from Seasonal Layers Thinlits are gorgeous – especially in the Glimmer Papers. The Season to Sparkle stamp set is filled with season-crossing sentiments – and wait until I show you something made with the matching Chandelier Thinlits!! Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix
Y’all know that Mr. Finn’s had some “knots in the floss”, if you will.
Actually – if you will or won’t. He’s had knots. In his fur!
I’ve finally just about gotten them gone.
Not by finger picking thru each tiny knot. No – there were approximately 2,347,432 of them. And his patience with finger-picking was slim.
So…I bought a pair of thinning scissors for puppy fur.
And I wasn’t afraid to use them!!
The result? Direct your attention to the area just below the wiggler. All the way to the ground. See the difference?
Yes, he’s more…streamlined! And – he doesn’t pick up quite as much…stuff (at least not in his fur!!) as he used to carry around.
I kinda like the look – makes him look like he’s ready to work.
Should I do the front feathers, too?
