Y’all, I’ve had folks asking me when the next Host Club was going to start and so…I decided to make the answer be….NOW! JUST in time for the kick-off of the new Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog next week! And – OBTW – it will ALSO coincide with the start of the 2021 Jan- Jun Mini and Sale-A-Bration. So, the timing is spot-on-perfect!!
Hey y’all – a quick updates post for you! If you’re looking for the card I shared this morning and our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop….here ‘tis!
First off – I’ve got one open space for someone in my Online Host Club starting in June! You’ve seen the new catalog (and it’s a doozy!!) and a club like this is an awesome way to gather up your favorites – and earn FREE stuff at the same time!
What is an Online Host Club?
Well – besides helping you to build your crafting tool chest a little at a time, a club also lets you get host benefits – without actually HOSTING a workshop!

Second – today’s the last day to take advantage of Stamp-N-Storage’s sitewide Sale!

Good morning, y’all! Hope you’ve got a good week ahead of you. For me – this SHOULD be Catalog-packaging-and-mailing week! In theory, if UPS does their thing – I’ll have all my boxes here by 9pm tomorrow. So, with luck, I’ll have them to the PO on Wednesday afternoon – Thursday latest. I can’t wait for you to get this beauty in your hands!!
Why? Cuz…THIS sweet stamp set – the Tasteful Touches set – and the awesome In Good Taste and Ornate Garden Designer Series papers are a couple of the wunnermus things you’re going to find when you open it up – and be able to get for yourself on 3 June! Take a look-see at what I’ve done with them today…
The sweet and simple layout is from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I started with some of the sweet wooden paper from the In Good Taste pack – this paper has stone and tile and wood galore and it’s beautiful! I adhered the panel to a Bumble Bee mat (one of the new 2020-2022 In Colors!) with Liquid Glue to create the card front.
Using a Stitched Rectangle Die, I cut two pieces from the daisy-strewn Ornate Garden Specialty DSP – and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.
For the sentiment, I stamped the big and lovely sentiment from Tasteful Touches in Early Espresso on Whisper White. Next to it, I stamped the leaves image – also in Tasteful Touches (yeah!!) – in Old Olive.
I cut the sentiment with the largest rectangle in the Stitched So Sweetly die set and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied a bow with the Old Olive ribbon in the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack and ahdered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.
A single Gilded Gem (part of the Ornate Garden Suite) finished off the card front.
On the inside, I added some more of the Tasteful Touches leaves in Old Olive on a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bumble Bee mat and into my Early Espresso card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more leaves on the front…
…and more of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is a beautiful set – full of pretty sentiments, a lovely flower, leaves and some layering elements!
And – you’ve asked for wood. And you got it! In Good Taste will give you so many options! I hope you like – and are adding all these products to your wish list!
If YOUR wish list is long as your arm – then consider joining the team (and getting some of these new products in your Starter Kit – and a great discount on the rest of your list!) or joining my Host Club in June! 🙂

Poor little tiny dog.
No one will buy him a bed that’s big enough.
He’s forced to sleep on the leather Otto-man (that’s how he says it – like two words. Otto. Man.)
Even though he’s really just a smidge too big for it anymore!
Yes – that IS his hiney sort of hanging off the back…

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday (Happy Mother’s Day!!), which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a color challenge from our crafty Claire this week and it’ll for sure jump-start your creative mojo! I hope you’ll come and play along. 🙂
If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
Every Stampin’ Up! catalog includes a few stamp sets that are available only as Host rewards (or for individual orders that qualify!) and this new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is no exception! As a little perk of being a Demonstrator (one of many!), I was able to buy two of the new sets during our Pre-Order. One of those, the Touched My Heart set, is the focal point for my perfect-for-Mother’s-Day card today! Take a look-see:
And here’s this week’s Paper Players color challenge! Hope you’ll join the fun and show us your projects! I can’t wait to see what you create! 🙂
I used the sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches to inspire the layout.
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and, using the two leaves images from the Touched My Heart set, stamped all over the panel in Pool Party ink. Then I added the little butterfly here and there amongst the leaves.
I used one of the embossing folders in the new Greenery Embossing Folder Pack (coming on 3 Jun in the new catalog), to emboss just the side of the panel. Then I adhered it to a Granny Apple Green mat with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the pretty heart image from Touched My Heart in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I colored it with the Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Watercolor Pencils.
I cut the image with the largest circle Stitched Shapes Die – then cut the next largest circle out of the middle.
I adhered the “frame” to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Then I wrapped a length of Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding around the card front – adhering it in the back with Glue Dots. Finally, I popped the remainder of the image onto the card front – making sure to line the image up! – with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green on a strip of Whisper White and snipped banner ends, edged it with my Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker, then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Touched My Heart butterfly, stamped in Pool Party on Whisper White and fussy cut, then colored with the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil, is popped on with another Stampin’ Dimensional.
A single Melon Mambo gem from the Glitter Enamel Dots (these are retiring so get ’em fast!!) finished off the card front!
On the inside, I stamped a leaf and a butterfly in Pool Party on a Whisper White panel and colored them with the Watercolor Pencils…
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Granny Apple Green 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 more Touched My Heart leaves and butterfly on the front…
…and on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is such a sweet and simple stamp set – with line-drawn images and lovely sentiments in pretty fonts – I know you’re going to want it in your tool chest!
I hope you like!
And I can help you get this stamp set – either now as a new demonstrator (yes, you can select pre-order goodies for your Starter Kit!!) or after 3 June (consider my Online Host Club!!). Give me a shout!

What about my sweet Finny made me think – even for a second – that he might…outgrow? this habit…??
That cutting board was used to chop up smoked chicken…..
Any southern dog worth his collards likes a good smoked chicken! 😉

Good morning! I’ll be back a little later with a sneak peek at one of the fun new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog bundles and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop – so I hope you’ll be back, too, for a look!
I mentioned in my You Tube “Sneak Peek Unboxing Video” yesterday that I am starting an Online Host Club in June to coincide with the arrival of this new catalog. Didn’t see the video? Here’s a link to it on YouTube…
So – it seemed like a good idea to give you the deets so that you can get signed up if this sounds like a good way to get all the new goodies that you want…a little at a time! 🙂
What is an Online Host Club?
Well – besides helping you to build your crafting tool chest a little at a time, a club also lets you get host benefits – without actually HOSTING a workshop!
A club consists of three folks doing two consecutive three-month terms. Each person commits to buying $50 before shipping and tax each month.
Here’s how it shakes out…this is just an example! As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!
At the end of the club, I let each member select a stamp set up to $25 that I send to them for free.
What are the other bennies of a Host Club?
When you join the club – you’ll commit to the full six months – in two consecutive three-month increments. Not only will that help you gather up 2020-2021 Annual Catalog goodies – it’ll put you in a perfect position for the 2020 Jul – Dec Mini Catalog (previously known as the Holiday Mini!!).
Don’t delay – there are limited spaces available!
If you want to join us or if you have ANY questions about how it would work…please give me a holler!
See you again in just a bit!

‘Sup, y’all!?? It’s the last Saturday before Christmas! Just a few days left to do that last minute shopping – whether for gifts or…that Prime Rib!! We’re picking ours up on Monday – just in time! Can’t wait!
I’m also getting the Brussels Sprouts.
Yes – I am making Brussels Sprouts (my Mom is surely shocked!) – all of a sudden at the tender age of 29, I LIKE them a lot. When I was just a kid – I detested them. I think it may be the roasting in the oven with garlic and balsamic vinegar. And…BACON!! 🙂
But – before the cooking commences for real – I hope you can join me for my Saturday night Facebook Live video tonight at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. We’re going to make a fun-fold card using the awesome new Music From My Heart stamp set from the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Cataalog. Take a sneaky peek!
Happy Happy HAWWWMP DAY!!! Or – considering the time of year – Happy Happy ONE WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!
All my packages are mailed. Yes, I said it. All my Christmas is mailed that needed to be mailed. AND I didn’t even have to pay a million dollars just to get things there near Christmas! Whaaaa??! Guess this retirement thing is kinda handy! 🙂
My card for today brings you another sneak peek of the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog. This one showcases a wonderful bundle called So Sentimental – with a stamp set of the same name and the wonderful Stitched So Sweetly Die – and more Peaceful Poppies DSP and some of the new Peaceful Poppies Elements. Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday, y’all! EIGHT days. Yup.
But – there’s NO days left to wait for my New Catalog Special Bundles! You’ve had the new 2020 January – June Mini Catalog for a minute now! And so, naturally, you want a TON of the new goodies.
Well – you’ve asked if I was doing my bundles again and…here you go! They’re a way for you to save a little money AND fill out that wish list a little faster!
Good Monday morning, y’all! Ready for the last full week before The Big Day?!?
Got your shopping done?
Baking?
Packaging?
Shipping?
No?
Me, neither. But – we’ll get ‘er done, I just know it! 🙂
In an effort to keep things simple, I made a cute little stamping-only card for you today, showcasing a brand new – and WONDERFUL! – stamp set from the new 2020 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog….called Grace’s Garden. Take a look-see:
Good morning and Happy Sunday. Hope your weekend is going great!
I finished my tree-decorating.
I put the skirt around the base, slapped my hands together and declared it “GOOD”!
Decided that sticking all the ornaments on was…sort of pointless. It’s the lights I really like the best – and…there’s only like two weeks left before it’d be time to undecorate. So… I went real Clean-and-Simple this year!
Of course – I haven’t put the ornaments bin away yet….these things take time. And – I might change my mind. 😉
If you were able to join me last night for my facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending part of your Christmas-prep time with me! If not – but want to see how to make today’s card – check out the instant-in-the-same-way-that-PONG-was-a-“fast”-video-game replay…
Fair warning – either FB or my internet or some combination thereof was glitchy as could be last night – so…the video comes in two parts – and the BOTH have sound issues. My apologies in advance.
Part 1 shows you how to do the Triple Time with the Buffalo Check background stamp and the Stamparatus!
