Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Fields Thank You for the Happy Stamper’s Blog Hop

Posted on January 7, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Here we are with the first Happy Stampers Blog Hop of 2016! We’re all having fun with Sale-A-Bration (I really REALLY love free stuff – and there’s a LOT of it to be had right now!) and stamping and creating with our goodies – new and not-so-new! I hope that you’ll take a minute to hop thru the hop and tell everyone what you think of their projects!

Today’s hop centered around a sketch Challenge. Here’s where we started!

I decided to work with some of my very favorite new items from the Sale-A-Bration flyer. Wildflower Fields DSP and the coordinating Flowering Fields stamp set. I got both of them free with a $50 order (well, one for each $50 order, of course!). And they’re so pretty – 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! What’s Up at Stampin’ Up! on 29 December 2015

Posted on December 29, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Here we are – believe it or don’t. The last and finally final update and new set of Weekly Deals for 2015! Yowza!

Couple of things to remind you of –

There’s still time to get in on the Occasions Catalog shares. I have a couple more openings available before the order goes in on 5 Jan – which is one week from today. If you scroll down a little ways, you’ll see what you’re going to receive with your share. It’s a great way to get a little bit of everything before you commit to full packs/packages of new products! So, if you want in, now’s the time!

The end of the year marks the beginning of the end for the Holiday Retiring Products and the Year End Clearance Sale! Both these promotions end on 4 Jan – so if you’ve been waiting to stock up….. 🙂

Stampin’ Up! told us today that they’re doing a Paper Pumpkin promotion in January to coincide with Sale-A-Bration. If you sign up for a 3 month pre-paid subscription to Paper Pumpkin – you’ll only pay $55 (a savings of $4.95 over the regular 3-month subscription). Which, oh by the way, will ALSO qualify you for a FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration flyer. Sounds like win-win to me! Great fun kits come to your door for three months – PLUS a free SAB item. Yep. Definitely win-win! If you’ve been toying with trying out Paper Pumpkin – getting in during SAB is a pretty good financial choice! 🙂 Check out this video – it shows you what folks received in their November 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit (just as an example of what to expect!)

Stampin’ Up! Sassy Salutations Watercoloring

Posted on December 26, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Well – Christmas is a distant, food-coma memory!

Okay – well, maybe not. Not a distant memory – but a food-coma certainly! I’m home from dinner – the kitchen is finally clean. You’d have thought I did the entire dinner – for 20 people! – instead of a couple of sides and the prime rib. And grew the sweet potatoes. Shelled the pecans. Threw the pottery for the casserole dishes. Holy smokes! I’m pretty sure I used every freakin’ dish, pan, pot, utensil and serving dish in my kitchen. 🙁

But – that’s all done now.

So, since I’m whupped and the day is late, I’m going to be lazy. Instead of trying to make a new card, I thought I’d share with you the technique I used for the card I posted on Christmas Day. It’s real easy – and kind of fun. I used Sassy Salutations for my sentiment. I’d say take-a-look-see, but that seems redundant since you look-see’d it yesterday!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderland Blessing for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop

Posted on December 24, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Happy Christmas Eve! I know that you’re all busy doing your final get-ready-for-tomorrow things – cooking, wrapping, and some-assembly-required-ing! Thanks for taking the time to see what we’ve created for you – I hope that you’ll enjoy my project and then head to everyone’s blog and see what they’ve shared!!

I went pure, straight up this-is-the-night-the-Holy-Child-was-born with my card today. I pulled some Woodland TIEF, a couple of Lovely as a Tree pines, and the Holy Family themselves from the lovely All Ye Faithful stamp set. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Fluttering Love Blossoms Sneak Peek

Posted on December 23, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Happy 2-Days-Until-Christmas, y’all! Back at home for a few days – and I’ve discovered a new luxury! Yesterday I spent some time – kind of a lot of time, really – unpacking all my stuff from my recent trip. And unpacking boxes of goodies from Stampin’ Up! that I’d ordered while I was away. Then I sat down to make a card to share for today. Ahhhhhhhhh……what a treat to have all my “stuff” at my fingertips! All my stamp sets to choose from. All my TIEFS. All my inks and paper colors. Sigh…….it was lovely! 🙂

I am having the tiniest bit of difficulty getting back into the swing of at-home-time-management. Dinner? Now?? So, I’m actually writing this post on Wednesday morning which, if you’ve been following me for any time, you’ll know is not my norm. But – I got to too-late-for-me-to-think last night with my card barely done. See what I mean? Time management – fail! But I’ll get better…

So, with everything at hand, I pulled out my Fluttering TIEF, mixed it up with some Love Blossoms DSP (coming soon – 5 Jan!) and a little Papillon Potpourri and a couple of Bloomin’ Love stamps (also coming soon) and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up at Stampin’ Up! on 22 December 2015

Posted on December 22, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! It’s almost Christmas in Georgia (probably where you are, too, huh? 😉 ) – and it’s going to be raining and 70 degrees today. And they’re talking about thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes tomorrow night. Seriously? I don’t think there’s ever been a Christmas song wishing for a rainy, tornadic Christmas! 🙁 Definitely no white Christmas on the books for us this year. I hope if you want a white Christmas, that you’re going to have one..

The Year End Clearance Sale and the Retiring List are both drawing to a close (4 Jan 16). Stampin’ Up! just added even more items to the Clearance Sale, so be sure to check it out! Whoo-hoo!

Don’t forget that the 2016 Occasions Shares are open – but your chance to get in on those ends on 3 Jan 16!

SU! gave us a little note today about the Stampin’ Trimmer blades. We’re working with the supplier of our Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blades on a quality issue. Because of this, our next shipment of blades won’t come in until the end of February. Just wanted you to know, if you’v’e ordered trimmer blades!

Stampin’ Up! Wild About Flowers Acrylic Block Stamping

Posted on December 21, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Alrighty, folks! I’m home in Atlanta! The weather is crisp and cool and the days are counting down to Christmas. So, as you’d obviously expect – I have a completely non-Christmas card to share with you today. Not a Calling Bird to be found! 😉

I saw a similar kind of project on Pinterest, and wanted to give it a try. It uses acrylic block stamping – something I always think “oh, that’s cool, I’m going to try that” and then I always forget. Well, this time I didn’t forget. I also used my new-to-me Wild About Flowers to create a silhouette and the ever-faithful Watercolor Wishes for the sentiment. Just as an aside, folks – if you haven’t availed yourselves of the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit – do yourself the favor of picking it up. The cards you make with the kit are lovely, and having the exclusive-to-the-kit stamp set to use forever and ever is a true bonus!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming….

Here’s what I got with my first go at acrylic block stamping. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Lovely as a Tree and Timeless Textures. A Close Non-Example

Posted on December 20, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Well, good Sunday morning to you! It’s Saturday evening and I’m sitting in my hotel room in San Diego – waiting for dinner to arrive. I made a pretty classic Mary-mistake today. I got into town early enough to decide I’d do a little tourist-y thing. First I took a picture out my window….
