Well – good morning on Day 2 of 2022! How’s the year treating you so far?
Want to remind you that TODAY is the last day to sign up for my Designer Paper Shares from the new Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. Head over and get your name on my list so that you can give all the new pretties a try! 🙂
Speaking of Designer Paper – today’s card showcases the new Abstract Beauty Specialty DSP and a fun stamp set called…Every Chapter! Take a look-see:
Well good morning on the last day of 2021! That’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Wasn’t it just…yesterday that we were saying HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021?!? I think it was!!
I hope if you have plans tonight that you have a wonderful – and SAFE!! – evening! I am sure I’ll see the arrival of 2022 – I almost always have to go to the bathroom around midnight so…will likely be awake at least enough to acknowledge that it’s happened! LOL! We ARE party animals! 🙂
If you were able to join me for our last YouTube of 2021 yesterday, I appreciate it! If not, but you’d like to watch the replay, here ’tis!
Good morning and happy Tuesday! So…it’s that limbo week between Christmas and New Year. Wayne and I did a little half-tidy-up of the garden this morning – nothing huge. Pulled the tomato cages and teepees. And…what was in the mail? Yup, First SEED CATALOG of the year. That’s the gardening equivalent of stores already having the Valentine’s Day stuff on the shelf. Which they totally do. Is it any wonder that time is flying by?!? Sheesh!
But…getting to be time to start thinking about seed-starting! Whoo-hoo! I mean – if they’re going to make time fly, we might as well flap, huh? 😉
And – that catalog MIGHT be what drew me to the new Hello Ladybug stamp set with its bundled Ladybug Builder Punch. See what I’ve done here? Garden. Fly. Ladybug? 😉 You’ll be able to get this one in less than two weeks when the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog goes live on 4 Jan. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with 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!
Now – I’m using a stamp set that y’all MIGHT have overlooked on your first pass (or fourth!) thru the new Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. It’s called Wildflower Path – and it struck me the first time I saw it. So…I decided to pull it out and give it a little love. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy two-weeks-before Christmas Eve! Yes – it’s true. Two weeks from today is Christmas Eve.
Yikes! I am SO not ready. So. Not. Ready.
But. What IS ready is a card. Perhaps I have my priorities messed up – no baking done, nothing wrapped/packed/mailed, few things gathered up. But I DO have a card today! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
If you were able to join me yesterday afternoon to watch me make this one on my YouTube Live, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If not, but you’d like to watch the replay on YouTube – here ’tis!
Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is going well! HOPE you’re not a Dawg’s Fan cuz…if you ARE…you’re a bit bummed out today! 🙁 Beating Alabama is not a trivial task and – sadly – the Dawg’s weren’t up for the task yesterday. 🙁
I spent a LOOONG time on last night’s FB live (and those of you who hung in there with me – thank you!)! We did a pretty pink and gray card using a new stamp bundle and then I spent the bulk of the video giving y’all a look at the goodies that were in my second pre-order from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. If you missed it – and want to check it out – here ’tis on YouTube!
Good morning! And…happy last day of November 2021. Can. You. Even. Believe. That?!? Sheesh – the days are just flying by!!
Besides November – there’s ANOTHER thing that ends today! And that’s the amazing Start With Savings Starter Kit Promotion. In which you pay $75 plus tax and GET $125 in Stampin’ Up! product, free shipping and the keys to 20% off on EVERYTHING you buy! What do you NOT get? You won’t get a contract – you won’t have a commitment – you won’t get a hard-sell to sell. Sorry – if that’s what you’re after…this isn’t the place! Give me a holler if you’d like more deets – or…click right here to get started! But…do it by 11:50 PM (MT) tonight before this great Starter Kit price goes away!
I pulled out another new couple of goodies – coming to you on 4 Jan (oh – that whole joining thing? Join with me today and…order this TOMORROW! 🎉🎉🎉) in the Jan – Feb 2022 Mini catalog. This bright, fun card features the new Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and bundled Brilliant Rainbow Dies! And…some FREE paper! The Sunshine & Rainbows 6″ x 6″ DSP will be FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration (4 Jan – 28 Feb). Take a look-see:
The layout for this one comes from the sketch side of the Sugar Pea Designs Mix-It Up challenge.
…and the bright color palette is thanks to the Inspire. Create. Challenge.
I started by embossing a piece of Basic White cardstock in the Hive 3D Embossing Folder (new in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini and available on 4 Jan) and adhering it with Liquid Glue on the front of a Basic White cardstock.
I selected some likely DSP designs from the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″ x 6″ DSP (Sale-A-Bration!) and matted them on Flirty Flamingo, then adhered them to the card front – all with Liquid Glue.
I used the smaller rainbow die in the Brilliant Rainbow die set to cut out a rainbow printed on one design in the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP. The die lines up perfeclty with the DSP – and cuts 4 perfect rainbow arcs!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere each piece of the die cut rainbow to a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I fussy cut around the complete rainbow.
I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the cloud dies to cut a few Basic White clouds and then discovered that the Thank You sentiment in the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set fit them PERFECTLY – so…I stamped three of them in Misty Moonlight!
I adhered one cloud (no sentiment) to the rainbow with Liquid Glue – then popped all three sentiment clouds on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some new Brushed Brass Butterflies (these are ALSO new – and super super cool!) and the card front was done!
On the inside I stamped a second Rainbow of Happiness sentiment in Misty Moonlight on a Basic White panel. I used another of the stamps to stamp a rainbow over top – I stamped it three times (offsetting it a smidge each time) – in Magenta Madness, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. Then I added one more Brushed Brass Butterfly! 🙂
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat and then into the Thick Basic White card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the three-color rainbow on the front…
…and more of the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This new Rainbow of Happiness stamp set – with the bundled Brilliant Rainbow Die set is so bright and cheerful – and I love the sentiments (and the fun fonts!). I am a HUGE fan of dies that cut images from Designer paper – and the Sunshine & Rainbows 6″ x 6″ DSP lets you do just that!
So – the Rainbow of Happiness bundle will be $44 in the new catalog. Pick that – the Hive 3D Embossing Folder ($9) and a pack of the uber-awesome Brushed Brass Butterflies ($10) – and you can pick the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP for…FREE!! Whoo-hoo!!
I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
On Friday – Sonya picks up Finn’s toys and piles them in the “toy-bed”. He has a…plethora…of toys.
As she walked out of the living room she asked Finn how long it would take for him to go start digging them out.
I said…about 30 seconds.
I was wrong by 3 seconds.
Mr. Turtle NEEDED to come back out.
No turtle-time-out today!

Hello again and happy Monday! I don’t know about y’all – but…four-day weekends really throw me for a loop. I have trouble remembering what day it is ANYway. Having a holiday on Thursday just puts me in a spin! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
My card today is simple – but super sweet (she says modestly!). I used the new Heart & Home DSP and the Honeybee Home stamp set – with the bundled Honeybee Blooms Die set (all coming on 4 Jan in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. Unless…you JOIN the team – this is a GREAT time to do that! THEN you can get them on…Wednesday, 1 December!). Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.
I started by matting a piece of the pretty gray woodgrain paper from the Heart & Home DSP on Highland Heather for the card front.
Using the next-to-smallest of the skinny dies in the Stitched Rectangle Die set, I cut a piece of the Misty Moonlight paper from Heart & Home and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
Using Stampin’ Seal, I adhered a length of 3/8″ Denim Ribbon (part of the Heart & Home Suite and available on 4 Jan) across the card front.
I used the two dies in the Honeybee Blooms die set to cut a Highland Heather and a Misty Moonlight flower- which I then adhered on the left side, over the ribbon, with Liquid Glue.
I tied a simple bow from Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the uber-sweet Honeybee Home sentiment in Highland Heather. Then I cut it with the smallest skinny Stitched Rectangle Die.
Using double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the sentiment over the top of the ribbon and the bow.
Finally, I added a few Basic Gray dots from the new Classic Matte Dots (from the Jan – Jun 2022 Mini) and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped two of the flowers from Honeybee Home in Highland Heather and Misty Moonlight. I nestled a small Basic Gray Classic Matte Dot in the foliage.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Smoky Slate card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Honeybee Home flowers on the front in Misty Moonlight and Highland Heather…
…and more of the Heart & Home DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – this is going to be SUCH a popular Suite! This amazing Honeybee Home stamp set and bundled Honeybee Blooms dies are so beautiful! Add the floral and woodgrain beauty of the Heart & Home DSP and… it’s a winner for sure!
