Stampin’ Up! Petal Garden Thank You

Posted on June 9, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Well. Here we are. The day before I leave for Florida.

And I’m all packed – all my card making stuff, my clothes, some kitchen stuff, more card making stuff. Paper, punches, TIEF, Thinlits, Framelits, inks, ribbons.

All ready to go – all I have to do is get my rental car, pack it up and I’ll be off.

LOLOLOLOL!!!

I so hope you didn’t believe any single teeny-tiny part of that!!

I’ve put my sandals on top of my suitcase. That’s the extent of my packing.

Been a little busy. Also – don’t really want to go, which puts me into slow-roll mode, for sure!

I have, though, made a couple of cards! Like this one, that uses the pretty new Petal Garden DSP Stack paper and a little sentiment from the One Big Meaning stamp set. Take a look-see:

The layout – and to some extent the colors and flowers – are inspired by the Sugar Pea Challenge this week.

I started with a Whisper White panel that I embossed in the new Ruffled Dynamic TIEF. Then I SNAILd it to a Powder Pink mat.

My two middle panels are from the Petal Garden DSP Stack, and are both matted on Powder Pink.

I SNAILd the bottom panel to the card front and then stamped a sentiment from the One Big Meaning stamp set in Old Olive ink.

I popped the sentiment panel over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card front was done!

Yes – done! That Petal Garden DSP did all the work, didn’t it?? Easy peasy.

On the inside, I used a pretty flower image from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and stamped it a few times in Calypso Coral – without re-inking. Then I added a few Old Olive leaves, also from Beautiful Bouquet – these I stamped off once before I stamped the Whisper White panel.

I SNAILd the panel to a Powder Pink mat and into my Pool Party card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the Calypso Coral flowers and Old Olive leaves from Beautiful Bouquet on the front…

…and then I added more of the Petals Gardens DSP Stack paper to the envelope flap.

Et Voila! As I said in my video last week, this Petal Garden DSP is “busy” paper. But – as was pointed out to me – in small doses – it works!! And – those pretty flowers – already printed and ready to go (just add a sentiment) – are perfect for a quick, easy and gorgeous card! And how well did Beautiful Bouquet work into the theme!?! Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix…

If you ordered catalog shares – the good news is that the Eastern Palace Paper came off the backorder list and it should be here tomorrow.

Thanks to my most-wonderful husband – who tagged in while I was working these past couple of days – the shares should all go out by Saturday.

Finn did what Finn does during the day. Although he might have contributed a Finn-y hair here and there (no extra charge!).

It’s pretty sweet, really. His routine is so dovetailed into ours and seems to suit him (and us!) so well. He likes to sleep almost as much as he likes to play and he does each at pretty regular times of every day. He’s an awful sweet boy.

He also took a little time to provide moral support to Wayne during a candy bar break.

I mean – I suppose he might have been interested in the candy bar, but….

Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning And Wood Words Patriotic Thank You!

Posted on May 30, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Welcome back to work – at least it’s only a four day work week! But there’s a lot going on Stampin’ Up!-wise in that four days! Check it out:

My Stamps-N-Lingers 2017-2019 In Colors Bundle Sale ends tomorrow afternoon.
The Eastern Palace Bundles sale (Starter or Premium) ends tomorrow afternoon!
Your chance to buy an Annual Catalog Share ends tonight!
You still an opportunity to get your name into the Jul-Dec Online Host Club!
And – OBTW – the new Annual Catalog goes LIVE at 3pm Mountain Time on Thursday!!

Wheew!! That’s a lotta stuff to pack into a few short days, huh?? There’s a lot of detail and information down below, so be sure to check it all out and take advantage of some great deals happening this week!

Now – on to the card for today. I promised that I’d share the details and how-to’s on the Memorial Day thank you card that I gave you a glimpse of on yesterday’s post. It uses the One Great Meaning stamp set, as well as the Wood Words stamp set and coordinating Wood Textures DSP Stack (available Thursday!). Take a reminder look-see:

I started with a piece of dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack and matted it on Cajun Craze card stock. The center layer, with the sentiment, is another piece of the Wood Textures paper, also matted on Cajun Craze.

To make my sentiment, I first inked the little star cluster image from the Wood Words stamp set in Versamark and stamped it in the corner of the panel. Then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.

I stamped the very appropriate sentiment from One Big Meaning in Cajun Craze in the middle of the panel, then SNAILd it to its Cajun Craze mat and onto the card front.

I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Copper Trim around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

The stars are from an image in the Wood Words stamp set. I stamped it once in Versamark and heat embossed it in Copper. The other two, I stamped in Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze – then sprinkled them with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated them up. This is a cool way to emboss in any color – just be sure to have a moist ink pad, have your embossing powder ready to go and move a little quickly – and the powder will stick just fine.

I fussy cut the stars and ran my Stylus on the back of each arm of all three stars to make them more dimensional. Then I adhered each star with a Stampin’ Dimensional. To finish it all off, I adhered a bow from the 1/4″ Copper Trim with a Glue Dot.

On the inside, I repeated the Copper embossing of the Wood Words cluster of stars in the top corner of a Whisper White panel. I also added a Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze larger star.

I SNAILd the panel to a Cajun Craze 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 another Dapper Denim and Cajun Craze star on the front…

...and some more of the dark wood paper from the Wood Textures DSP Stack on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I love the Americana vintage feel of this patriotic card, don’t you? One Big Meaning is a wonderful stamp set filled with sentiments to express your gratitude. And the new Wood Words stamp set goes perfectly with the Wood Textures DSP! One Big Meaning is available now, and the Wood Words goodies are both going to be available on Thursday afternoon!! Hope you like and already have these on your wish list!

Finn-Fan Fix…

On Memorial Day, we went over to our friend’s house for dinner.

That’s where Finn’s sister, Scout, lives.

He was sooooo excited to see her!!

His wiggler wiggled.

His barker barked!

His lips grinned.

His boigers boinged!

Finally, they were able to settle down enough for a family portrait.

The little brother has outgrown his older sister, hasn’t he?

Aren’t they pretty pair!?

Stampin’ Up! May Flowers One Big Meaning Thanks – and the Blog Candy Winner!

Posted on March 1, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope it’s going well so far this week. My meeting has been very productive and well worth the effort it took to get out here (she admits grudgingly….). Today I’ll be headed back to the airport and on the way home in the morning!

My card for today is a spring-y, flowered-y thank you card, using the fun Falling Flowers stamp set and matching May Flowers Framelits and one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets: One Big Meaning! When I added the gorgeous Blooms & Bliss DSP, here’s what I came up with. Take a look-see:

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch to help me with the layout.

I started with a panel of Mint Macaron and Island Indigo flowers paper from the Blooms & Bliss DSP and SNAILd it to a Blushing Bride mat. Using the new Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper, I cut out two sets of leaves with the May Flowers Framelits and adhered them to my card front with Liquid Glue.

The center layer is a piece of Whisper White card stock. First I used the two leaves images in the Falling Flowers stamp set – stamping them all over the panel in Mint Macaron and Island Indigo ink. I matted the panel on Blushing Bride, then ran the whole thing thru my Big Shot in the Petal Burst TIEF. Then I popped that over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut two Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper leaves and a Blushing Bride flower with the May Flowers Framelits, then used Liquid Glue to adhere them to the middle panel.

My sentiment, from One Big Meaning, is heat embossed in Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a strip of Vellum card stock. I adhered the vellum to a piece of Whisper White card stock – using tiny bits of glue from my Fine Tip Glue Pen under just the embossed words to hide the glue. Then I used my Banner Triple Punch on both ends.

I used some Liquid Glue to adhere the sentiment banner and then added a tiny bow made from Whisper White Thick Bakers Twine and a Blushing Bride Enamel Shape – and that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the pretty flower from Falling Flowers in Blushing Bride on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then I added a sticky note mask over it and stamped a few Mint Macaron leaves.

I SNAILd the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Island Indigo card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a repeat of the Falling Flowers flower and leaves on the front…

…and a touch more of the Blooms & Bliss DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! This is such a pretty bundle of flowers and leaves – the Falling Flowers stamp set and matching May Flowers Framelits! And I really love it with the Blooms & Bliss DSP! Hope you like!

Scroll on down for the card cuts and all the products you’ll need to make this one for yourself!

FINN-FAN FIX….

Heard a report that my sweet little puppy….ran a little ways into the woods yesterday and came out with…a deer leg!

Bleh….

Maybe a coyote got it? Perhaps a hunter tossed a carcass?

I don’t know. But…it does prove that…sweet as he is….he is….in the end…a ~~dog~~ wolf!

What happened to this little guy who just wanted to play in a water bowl and carry toys and sticks??

They grow up so quick….

Stampin’ Up! Totally Trees One Big Meaning Thanks!

Posted on November 5, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – it’s Saturday and OnStage Local 2016 is finally here! I hope you’re having a great day – I’m pretty sure I will be! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and getting a look at what’s coming up in the 2017 Occasions Catalog! 🙂

World Card Making Day was – as is always the case with Brian and Pam – a really fun day! We saw lots of demonstrations of techniques and the “building blocks” of a card. I learned some fun new ideas that I’m looking forward to sharing with y’all!

We all got cute little table favors….

The little box on the left had some peppermints and a little wooden stamp from the I Stamped This stamp set! And on the right….well. A chocolate chip cookie! 🙂

They’d set up a fun “selfie” station – with a frame with a big red bow on it. Of course, if you’re holding up the frame it’s pretty hard to take a selfie. We had to get someone to take the picture for us – which I think makes it a “youie” station! 🙂

That’s me with Beth Hooper, Amy Koenders, Kelly Cannon and Jari Francis! Amy’s Inkin’ Krew had a good showing at WCMD 2016 – and will be even better at today’s OnStage event! 🙂

More pictures will follow in the next couple of days, but for now, let me show you the card I made for today! It uses one of my favorite stamp sets from the Holiday Catalog – Totally Trees – and the great One Big Meaning stamp set from the annual catalog. Take a look-see:

I played along with three challenges with this card. The first, for the layout, is from Freshly Made Sketches.

My color palette came from the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge.

And, finally, I played with the What Will You Stamp challenge…

I started with a piece of Fancy Frost Specialty DSP for the card front, matting it onto a Dapper Denim card stock mat. Next came a strip of Mint Macaron paper from the Presents & Pinecones DSP, also matted on Dapper Denim and SNAILd to the card front.

I added a length of Emerald Envy 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon over the DSP strip, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

My sentiment panel is a piece of Whisper White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the One Big Meaning stamp set in Dapper Denim. I created a sticky note mask, stamping the sentiment on the sticky note and then cutting it out. I placed the mask over the sentiment and got down to the trees.

I stamped two of the tree images from Totally Trees in Emerald Envy and added the solid “leaves” shape in Mint Macaron. Then I removed the sticky note mask.

I added three Emerald Envy Enamel Shapes in the bottom corner. For the mat, I used another piece of Dapper Denim card stock, offsetting it as suggested in the sketch challenge.

I popped the whole sentiment panel over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added another Totally Trees image in the corner of a Whisper White panel in Emerald Envy and Mint Macaron.

I SNAILd the panel to a Dapper Denim mat and then into my Emerald Envy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done! 🙂

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Totally Trees tree on the front….

…and a final tree on the back of the envelope, plus some more Presents & Pinecones DSP on the envelope flap.

Here’s where I’d have put a picture of the back of the envelope.

If I’d taken one.

I have no idea why I didn’t. And I’m not at home to remedy my faux pas.

So….close your eyes and simply image the serene beauty of the Mint Macaron DSP gracing the flap of my envelope. 🙂

Et Voila! I just love Totally Trees – the options for arboreal beauty are many with this great set! And it paired beautifully with the Fancy Frost Specialty DSP. They created a card with not a “Christmas-y” feeling anywhere to be found! Hope you like!

Scroll on down for the card cuts and all the goodies you need to make this one for yourself!

The stitched embossing is approximately 1/16” from the edge of the cutout. So the dimensions are approximately 1/8” smaller than the cutouts.

Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning Falling Leaves

Posted on October 21, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, ya’ll – it’s Friday! And – even though it’s about a 1000 degrees while I type this on Thursday night – I have hope that when you’re reading this the “cold” front will have moved thru and it’ll be pretending to be Fall! The weatherman said it was going to happen, so….you know it will! 😉

Before we get going…wanted to remind you about my Ordering Special that’s going on for a few more days…don’t miss a great chance to stock up for the Holiday mailing frenzy!

This is on top of the regular $10 thank you gift that you get to select if you add my Host Code (if your order is under $150 then add the code, but if your order is over $150 don’t add the code…but you’ll still get the gifts!).

Okay. With that out of the way, let’s talk about Finn for half a second. He’s been growing – I swear he’s bigger than he was two days ago! – and learning. And chasing the cats – he really just wants to see them but his speed-of-heat galloping is more than they can stand still for!. And trying to chew any and everything he can find. And playing ball – and frisbee – and bumper (y’all – I have a new puppy. Buy stock in PetSmart. Trust me on this!). And riding in the golf cart – he’s a farm dog already!

….and being “turtled” by his dad – this is a good thing to do with puppies, it helps them learn to relax and teaches submission.

He’s gonna be too big to do this in about a minute, huh? 🙂 You can’t hardly even tell that his dad doesn’t like him, can you?!? 😉

And – he’s been cute. Just ridiculously, overwhelmingly, goofy-ly cute. Just when I think I’ve seen all his cute things, he’ll do something new. Like…

No – he’s not chewing the kennel bars (at least not right at this exact moment!). He’s resting. By resting his top teeth and nose on the bars. Goofy goofy little dog! This is his “day” crate – where we put him so we can have dinner – I can make a card, or do my “real” work. Otherwise…it’s chaos. His “night” crate is about 4 times bigger. And is in the bedroom at the end of the bed. I have no intention of spoiling him. Nothing worse than a spoiled dog.

PetSmart, people. Pet. Smart. 🙂

So – my card for today has some recycled elements. Remember this card from the other day?

That’s right – from the October Paper Pumpkin. Well, the leaves that I punched out to make the windows….I kept them. Pack-rat, much, Mary? I mean, heck – there are 24 of them. And they’re pretty. So for today, I used them and added a sentiment from One Big Meaning, and a little more color with the Touches of Texture stamp set. Take a look-see:

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-4-stamps-n-lingers

I used a sketch challenge from CAS(E) This Sketch – #195 – to be exact, for the design.

And my color palette came courtesy of Pals Paper Arts challenge #323:

Since all my leaves were already sitting in a tidy little pile – don’t laugh, I have a few tidy places around! – this went together pretty quickly.

For each of my leaves, I used a sponge with Emerald Envy and one with Tangerine Tango. First I stippled them lightly with each color – stipple means to sort of tap with the sponge (like you do in stenciling). Then I used the Tangerine Tango sponge to sponge all the edges. I brushed each of the leaves with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to give them some sheen, and then rounded them with my stylus. Some I rounded from the back and some from the front.

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-3-stamps-n-lingers

On a Very Vanilla panel, I used the large dots image in Touches of Texture. I stamped once with Tangerine Tango and then again without re-inking. Then I repeated that with Emerald Envy.

Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I stamped the large sentiment from One Big Meaning in Emerald Envy.

In a bit of a departure from my usual process, I SNAILd the panel to a Tangerine Tango mat and then onto my Tip Top Taupe card base. I wanted to be able to add the leaves and have them sort of “falling” off the edge of the card front onto the card base.

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-2-stamps-n-lingers

I arranged the leaves and then used Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere some and Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere some of the others. And that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I used a Very Vanilla panel matted on Tangerine Tango. I colored up another of my leaves and adhered it in the corner with Liquid Glue.

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-5-stamps-n-lingers

I SNAIL it into the card base and the card was done! 🙂

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got more of the Touches of Texture dots in Tangerine Tango and Emerald Envy on the front, as well as another leaf (I have twenty-four of them – I can be generous!)…

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-6-stamps-n-lingers

…and I repeated that on the envelope flap as well.

one-big-meaning-falling-leaves-7-stamps-n-lingers

Et Voila! Recycling – it’s not just for aluminum cans and paper, folks! If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and you have this October kit – hang on to the leaves – you never know what ideas might come your way! If you’re not – try the Leaflets Framelits. Cut them from Very Vanilla and stipple ’em up! Hope you like! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Totally Trees Thank You Notes and Gift Box

Posted on September 3, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, ya’ll, on this three-day weekend! Hope you’re dry and getting ready to have a great Holiday! We are supposed to have some nice temperatures this weekend – tv weather just said the morning temps should be in the high 60’s!! Whooooooo-hoooooooo!! I hope I feel the need to have a little shiver!! 🙂

For today, I went back to the new Totally Trees stamp set. This is another one that I’m really loving – it’s got so many possible combinations to fuel your creativity! I used the set to make some little, tiny thank you notes, so I borrowed a little sentiment from One Big Meaning, too. I made a bunch of them, and also took a quick minute to make a custom gift box to hold the little notes. Take a look-see:

If you look, you’ll see that I added a couple of leaves, from the Vintage Leaves stamp set, cut with the Leaflets Framelits dies! When you open the box, the inside reveals 10 little note cards and matching envelopes. Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning World of Thanks

Posted on June 8, 2016 by stampsnlingers

It’s Hawp Day!! Hey Mike!

Before we hit the card for the day – wanted to tell you that I’ll be posting my Retired Products sale list this afternoon – so watch for a second posting. I’ll be selling things for half price – plus actual shipping costs. Stay tuned….

AND – this is the last day for my Double Peppermint Rewards special! I’ll honor orders placed thru my Online Store anytime today – and I’ll even let you slide in if you’ve got it in before I wake up tomorrow morning! Cuz that’s how I roll! 🙂

Okay – so today I made a thank you card – I just need them all the time, so it’s kind of my go-to sentiment choice! I used a couple of older stamp sets – to include A World of Thanks and One Big Meaning. Take a look-see:

I was playing along with a sketch challenge for this one, and that’s where the layout came from. The Sunday Stamps Challenge #128: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Awesomely Artistic Layered Love Easel

Posted on May 27, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday! And happy it truly is – cuz I’m at the hotel, jus’ sleepin’ in ma bed! At least I hope I am – or at least laying in it doing a bunch of nothing! This has been a….loooooonnnggg week, y’all – and I’m flat tuckered. This long weekend has been the beacon of hope – the light at the end of the first part of the tunnel. Four beautiful days off. Oh. My. Goodness. 😉

This card for today is another easel card. I apologize for the quick duplication – but…my friend here asked me for a card (short notice!) for his wife. He/they are moving across the country and she’s leaving her teaching job in CA. He wanted a card to give her. When I ask him what he wanted to say…he kind of looked blank. After some prompting, he wants to tell her that he loves her and that he’s grateful for all she does.

Awwww. That’s totally sweet – even if he needed a little “help” to get there! Yea – he vacuums and cleans the house, too – he’s one of the good guys! So, I really wanted it to be special for him and be a bit of a “wow” card – so the easel card made sense to me. And since it’s so easy…well. It was a no-brainer.

I also had the perfect sentiment in mind – from the new (it’s almost here, folks! Wednesday!!) stamp set called Layered Love. And One Big Meaning also has a great sentiment. I pulled Awesomely Artistic for the beautiful images. Take a look-see:

So – the easel is just a secondary piece of the card! The Awesomely Artistic flowers definitely take front and center. Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Love You Sew Thanks Kindly

Posted on May 6, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Well, as Mr. George Jones so aptly stated…

It’s finally Friday
I got my motor running for a wild weekend
It’s finally Friday
Forget the workin’ blues
And let the good times roll…

Which in my case means I’m fixin’ to roll up my sleeves and get my Big Shot running for a crafty weekend! Oh – and do laundry! 🙂 What are your plans? Something fun, I hope!

I’ve got a quick little card to share with you today, using a few things that are retiring at the end of the month. The Love You Sew host stamp set – which is really one of the cutest stamp sets I’ve seen – and the Greetings Thinlits – which produce three great sentiments in a really nice size and font. I added in a little bit of One Big Meaning (not retiring) and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

I designed this card based on the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches – #235: Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals One Big Meaning Thanks!

Posted on April 15, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Update on 19 April: I just found out that this card was picked as an Artist Pick at Hand Stamped Sentiments! Many thanks to the talented ladies at HSS for picking my card out of all the beautiful ones submitted. And congrats to all the picks. You can see the other ladies’ cards here.

Hey, ya’ll – it’s Friday, which means that when you read this, I’ll still be asleep! Cuz of how I’m in Utah! At OnStage! I’m typing this on Thursday morning – I know that tonight, after the first session this afternoon – I’m going to be having pizza with a bunch of other SU! demos – and then collapsing in bed with a little light reading…

The 2016-2017 Annual Catalog!!! I’ll be flipping thru and marking everything I want (might be easier and take lots less ink to mark the things I don’t want!) and getting my pre-order in! I’ll probably even do the 2-day shipping – so I can start making projects and giving y’all a peek next week! (Update since I drafted this post on Thursday morning: You’re seriously seriously SERIOUSLY going to love what’s in this new catalog. I can’t start sharing any clues until Monday evening – but….trust me on this. You need this new catalog as soon as you can get your hands on it!!)

Uh-oh…..I feel a Whooo-hoooo!! coming on! Yikes! 🙂 Update: I did, in fact, “whoooo” a few times. Don’t judge. You would have, too. 😉

I wanted to share a couple more pics with y’all from our day on Wednesday. The home office is one of the prettiest buildings I’ve seen. Lots of wood paneling and crown molding. And the center atrium…..

We got a birds-eye view of the distribution canter – where everything in all our orders is “picked” and packed and shipped. Pretty impressive pick-line! And Stampin’ Up! goodies as far as the eye can see!

Amy and I both wished for just 5 minutes on the pick line – if you catch my drift!! 😉

Before we got done, we wandered thru the hall of the convention center. This is how it looked on Wednesday afternoon…..

I suspect it’ll look a lot different when we get there this afternoon! 🙂 Update: I was right:

So – enough about OnStage for a second! I’ll share more haps with you tomorrow, I promise.

My card for today is another thank you – using the super One Big Meaning stamp set in the Annual Catalog. I paired that with some clean Botanical Builder Flowers and some Color Me Irresistible DSP. Take a look-see:
