Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning Thanks Veteran’s Today!

Posted on November 11, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Happy Veteran’s Day – to those who are currently serving – I thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Your selfless dedication and willingness to pay the ultimate price so that we may live in peace in our beautiful land is a blessing to us all. I pray for your safety and your swift return home! To the men and women who served and are now pursuing lives in the private world – I salute you! And Thank You. You gave up years of your lives with your families and friends, to protect us. We owe you everything!

To that end, today’s share is a blatantly patriotic, red white and blue thank you card. Since it features a Festive Flower, I suspect it would be more suitable to Soldiers/Airmen/Sailors/Marines of the female variety, but – there’s a lot of those folks these days. 🙂 I used the festive Flower Punch and the One Big Meaning stamp set – filled with all sorts of great Thank You sentiments. And some glitter. Okay – maybe kind of a lot!

Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Every Blessing and a Flurry of Wishes for You

Posted on October 30, 2015 by stampsnlingers

We have a grass carp. Well, probably more than one. But, in our back pond – there’s just one. It’s a pretty new pond, you see. Not a lot of vegetation. And kind of seasonal. So we only put one grass carp back there.

Tonight, while the horses were eating, we took a ride down to the back pond. To check on the grass carp’s welfare. Please note – we haven’t named the grass carp. That would be weird.

We noticed a significant lack of….well….grass! Which immediately caused us consternation and concern. What to do? We’re not really sure what a grass carp might eat other than grass. Maybe some hay? Some chaff? Chaff is chopped up hay and a little molasses (our old guy gets that to supplement his other feed). Perhaps some ragweed? We gathered up some of each and carefully threw it into the pond.

We don’t want our un-named grass carp to starve. Obviously. He’s the only one in the pond. Do you think he thinks he’s on some barren planet somewhere at the end of a portal (yes, I’ve been watching Marvel – Agents of Shield!)? Do grass carp think?

It’s not weird to worry about your grass carp. Right?

Right??

Anywho – on to why you stopped by!

I deviated from my normal A2 size card for today’s share. This one is 5″ x 7″ overall. I needed that much room to execute the design. Which was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #292. Head over there to see what everyone has made, okay?

I used the pretty Every Blessing stamp set – from the Annual Catalog – some flurries of snow from Flurry of Wishes, and a few Lucky Stars! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! You’ve Got This Lends Happy Notes to a Best Wishes Card!

Posted on September 4, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Hope you’re sitting down. This is a bit earth-shattering. Are you ready?

Today’s share is….NOT….a Christmas Card!! gasp

Instead, it’s a custom-made card requested by a friend of mine for a friend of ours. She’s headed to a new job, and he wanted one of my “special” cards (his words, not mine!). No special requests. But, I remembered she likes pink – she even has pink shoes! So that was certainly a starting point!

And – when you look at the list of products used in this card, you should be sitting down. Really. It looks HUGE. Well, it really kind of IS huge. But, it was necessary for this card and this sketch!

There are two central stamp sets used – You’ve Got This and Happy Notes – both from the Annual Catalog. The design was inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge number 284. Be sure to check them out, okay?

And the color scheme comes – again! – from Stamp, Ink, Paper. I just had to do it – I loved the idea of putting pink with the black and white. So I did!
