Good morning and happy Friday! Again! My, how the weeks do fly by! We’ve noticed that the days are getting longer – it was still light when we got in after feeding the horses last night – at about 6:45pm… Whooo-hooo!! Early sunrise and late sunset – my time of year!!
If you were able to join me for my YouTube live yesterday, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If not, here’s the replay!
Well – it’s February, y’all! Half way thru Sale-A-Bration. And tomorrow is the first day y’all can order the new Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles. I know you’ve been waiting for those! So…scroll on down to get the deets and then be ready for tomorrow to roll around!
For today, though, I’ve got a simple card for you using the Lots of Heart Bundle with the Many Hearts Dies! And some True Love DSP! And no – it is NOT a Valentine’s OR Love-you-forever card. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
And I pulled the color scheme from the Color Throwdown challenge.
I started with a piece of polka-dot paper from the all-black-and-white True Love DSP and, using my awesome new Blending Brushes, I colored that panel with Gray Granite ink. Then I used a Stitched Rectangle Die and cut the middle out of the panel.
I adhered the large panel to a Purple Posy mat with Liquid Glue. And then I matted the die cut middle on Purple Posy and popped it back into its spot with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the plaid heart from Lots of Heart twice in Misty Moonlight. I used two dies in the Many Hearts Die set – a small heart die and the little die that cuts a perforated heart shape…that one fits inside the larger heart die – to cut two small, perforated hearts from the plaid images.
On a piece of Purple Posy cardstock, I stamped the Lots of Heart sentiment in Misty Moonlight and cut it with a small, narrow Stitched Rectangle die. Then I popped it onto the middle of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added the two hearts to the card front.
A couple three Purple Posy Playing With Patterns Resin Dots finished it off!
On the inside, I added a few Many Hearts hearts in Misty Moonlight to a Basic White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Purple Posy mat and into my Misty Moonlight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more of the Many Hearts hearts on the front in Misty Moonlight…
…and more of the Gray Granite-brushed True Love DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love the color-changing versatility of the black-and-white True Love DSP, don’t you?
And the Lots of Heart bundle is just as versatile – it’s NOT as much a lovey dovey set as it is for friendship!!
I hope you like!! 🙂

Hey y’all – happy Tuesday! Hope your week is going well. Just a quick reminder that TOMORROW is the very last day to get in on my Special Bundles from the new Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog! Don’t miss out – you can check them all out right here.
My card for today uses the Hydrangea Haven Bundle and coordinating Hydrangea Hill DSP (conveniently available in Bundle #4!) to make a thank you card. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one comes from this week’s Fab Friday challenge.
I started with a piece of Purple Posy card stock for the card base. On the front, in Highland Heather ink, I stamped one of the Hydrangea Haven flower outline images all over the front. Then I used the matching fill image in stamped-off-once Highland Heather. In between the flowers, I stamped the Hydrangea Haven thank you sentiment in Misty Moonlight.
I used the largest rectangle die in the Stitched So Sweetly die set to cut two pieces of Hydrangea Hill DSP. I adhered the bottom panel with Liquid Glue and the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a third design from Hydrangea Hill DSP with the next-to-smallest rectangle die from Stitched So Sweetly and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
I adhered a Gold Hoop with a Glue Dot (under the right side – where it would be hidden by the sentiment). Then I used a Glue Dot to adhere a bow that I’d tied with two pieces of Misty Moonlight/Silver Baker’s Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
I stamped the Hydrangea Haven sentiment in Misty Moonlight on Basic White and cut it with the die in the Hydrangea Dies. Then I used double stacks of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it over the bow.
I added a few Seaside Spray Pastel Pearls and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Hydrangea Haven sentiment in Misty Moonlight onto a Basic White panel. In the corner, I added the flower in Highland Heather and stamped-off-once Highland Heather. I also inked part of a stem from the Hydrangea Haven set in Mossy Meadow – stamped it off once – and added it. Then I added the outline leaves in Mossy Meadow – and the fills in stamped-off-once Mossy Meadow.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Seaside Spray mat and into the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Hydrangea Haven flower, stem and leaves on the front…
…and more of the Hydrangea Hill DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Is this bundle not wonderful?? It’s amazing even if you DON’T make the gorgeous die cut flower like I did on this card!
And there is little doubt but that the Hydrangea Hill DSP is….STUNNING!! 🙂
I hope you like!

Finn has a skill.
Okay – he’s got a few skills, but this one…
If I didn’t know for sure that there are NO mirrors at his height – I’d say he practiced this in front of one every day until he got it down to a science.
It’s called…Fun With Paws. Or…how to get cute without looking like you’re even trying.
We see this behavior when he goes to bed at night – and sometimes just when he goes into the kennel during the day.
He walks in – flops in the far corner and – instantly arranges his paws to be totally adorable.
Case in point.

Happy Holiday Monday, y’all! If you’re working today – I hope it’s in your pajamas! If you did have to do yourself up – I hope it was only from the WAIST up – and that you’re rocking pajama bottoms! 🙂
I have a sweet thank you card for you today – that will make you long for summer! Or…eating ice cream in the dead of winter. Whatever works for you! My theory is – as long as the heat’s working in the house – ice cream is on the table! And this triple scoop cone – from the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle and Ice Cream Corner DSP – is sure to give you a hankering. 🙂 Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
And I played along at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge, too!
I started with some sprinkle-strewn paper from the Ice Cream Corner DSP that I matted on Cinnamon Cider for the card front.
Next up, I used the next-to-largest rectangle in the Stitched So Sweetly die set to cut some cone-designed paper from the Ice Cream Corner DSP – that I adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
The next layer is Basic White – cut with the largest of the rectangles in the Stitched So Sweetly set. Man – I LOVE this die set! 😉
On the side, at a jaunty angle, I stamped the sentiment from Sweet Ice Cream in Cinnamon Cider. Then I adhered the panel to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to make my ice cream cone – and more of the Ice Cream Corner DSP. First, I punched the cone itself from the cone-design paper – and adhered it to the white panel with Liquid Glue.
I punched three scoops using the punch from a few different pieces of the DSP – see all those splotchy looking shapes? – they’re perfect for making ice cream!
I adhered the bottom scoop with Liquid Glue and the next two with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Before I added the top Purple Posy scoop (Lavender Honey ice cream – I’m pretty sure!) – I stamped the sprinkles image from Sweet Ice Cream in stamped-off-once Highland Heather ink.
I added a couple three Purple Posy dots from the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Sweet Ice Cream sentiment in Cinnamon Cider on a piece of Basic White. In the corner – I stamped the cone – and the cone-detail! – in Cinnamon Cider. Bermuda Bay is the scoop color this time – with Bermuda Bay sprinkles!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat and into my Bermuda Bay card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got another Bermuda Bay ice cream cone on the front…
…and more of the Ice Cream Corner DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Are you hungry for some ice cream?? Not gonna lie – I could eat a cone myself! This Sweet Ice Cream Bundle – with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch – works so perfectly with the Ice Cream Corner DSP to create some yummy frozen treats!
I hope you like! 🙂

We ran out of Skinny Pop.
Which is hard cuz we buy it by the gross.
Literally.
Okay – maybe not LITERALLY. BUT – if it goes on sale at Sam’s or Costco – and there’s a limit of….10….then…guess how many we walk out the door with?? 😉
So. I saw Skinny Pop microwave version at the grocery store and figured it would be a suitable sub.
Sidebar: it’s not.
The other night, I had a bag and when I finished I set it on the sofa next to me.
The man oh-so-casually hopped up to settle in at the other end of the sofa.
This is a hard one, Mom.
Anyone want to speculate on what happened next? 😉

Happy Sunday, y’all! This is a three-day, right? I realized that yesterday when I saw a commercial for a sale for the three-day weekend. When you’re retired – Monday is Monday is Monday!! But – if you’re NOT retired, then I hope that you get tomorrow off! And get to do something fun like…NOT get up and go to work!
If you were able to join me for my Facebook live yesterday, I appreciate you spending part of your long-weekend with me! If not, here’s the replay!
The card I did is what is – for me! – a clean card – albeit a layered one! You know that’s not my wheelhouse but I tried to do something a little different! Didn’t even add a rhinestone. Or the tiniest piece of ribbon! I used the new Vine Design bundle, a couple of awesome die sets and…well – ink and cardstock! Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s Global Design Project sketch.
And the colors are from the Color Throwdown challenge.
I started with a piece of Basic White that I matted on Granny Apple Green and again on Pacific Point cardstock to create the card front.
Next, I cut a piece of Basic White with a Stitched Rectangle Die, then I ran it back thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with a Stitched With Whimsy die right in the middle! That made for a really interesting stitched design!
I popped the die cut panel onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the rectangular die in the Flowering Vine die set (bundled with the Vine Design stamp set), I cut another piece of Basic White – then used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the popped up panel.
I stamped the Vine Design frame image in Granny Apple Green on Basic White. In the middle, I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo. Then I cut it with the matching die in the Flowering Vine set. I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and….the card front was done!
Now – to be fair – I was on a ZOOM the Craftroom with some folks – and they helped me to step away from the card. Leave well enough alone. Put. The. Rhinestones. DOWN!
It was hard!
On the inside, I stamped the vine image from Vine Design in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I added some sweet little flowers in Melon Mambo to finish it off!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point mat and then into my Thick Basic White card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Vine Design vines and flowers on the front…
…and some Pacific Point paper from the Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap. Hint: this design is in the NEW DSP packs – that will come out in the summer in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog (AND that you can get for FREE when you join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-A-Bration!).
Et Voila! I really like this Vine Design bundle – it’s always cool when you get sentiments AND a frame that work together – especially when there is ALSO a die to cut it out easy peasy! Add in the gorgeous detailed dies – in THREE shapes! – and you’re talking a winning combination!
I hope you like!

Our little terrorist – Katie – had to go to her doctor on Friday. She was having trouble in the litter box, if you catch my drift.
She hates – hateshateshates – riding in the car. If the final destination was a wide open field planted panther-ear deep in catnip, populated by 2-legged mice that even old panthers could catch – with fresh salmon to nibble on whenever she wanted it – she would STILL hatehatehate riding in the car.
Turns out she’s got a bacterial infection – so…a couple of injections and some…wipes.
Huh? Wipes? And you’d like me to wipe her….there? Oh – only once a day. Well – then THAT’S easy enough.
She looks like she’s REALLY going to be receptive to the wipes.
Not.
Finn? He be like…wipemewipemewipeme!!

Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a color challenge today and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I had a good time with this color challenge – picking Rococo Rose to pop against the black and white – and True Love DSP was the obvious choice. I kept with the Love You Always Suite – using both the Forever & Always Bundle and the Always in My Heart stamp set. Take a look-see:
Here’s our challenge! 🙂
And I also borrowed the sketch from the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge for my layout.
I started with my favorite design in the True Love DSP and matted it on Rococo Rose for the card front.
Using the smaller, straight-edge punch in the Heart Punch Pack, I cut a Rococo Rose heart from Love You Always Specialty DSP.
I created the sentiment with the Always Dies (part of the Forever & Always Bundle!)- cutting the detailed word from Love You Always Foil in Rococo Rose, and the solid shape in Basic White. Then I adhered them together with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from Forever & Always in Rococo Rose on a Basic White strip. Then I matted the strip on Rococo Rose and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue. I added the punched heart with Liquid Glue.
I tied a small bow from two lengths of Whisper White twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Then I popped my die cut sentiment on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Matte Black Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped an Always in My Heart sentiment in Rococo Rose on a Basic White panel. Next to it, I stamped the hearts outline image from Always in My Heart in Tuxedo Black – then added the fill image in Rococo Rose.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Rococo Rose mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Always in My Heart hearts on the front…
…and more of the True Love DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love Black-White-Pink (aka Rococo Rose), don’t you? It’s just so cool and elegant. And the Always & Forever stamp set – with the beautiful bundled Always Dies (how much do you love those sentiment dies?!?) plus the Always in My Heart stamp set…
….are perfect vehicles for bringing that pop of color to the gorgeous True Love DSP.
I hope you like!
