Stampin’ Up! Petite Pairs with Grateful Bunch

Update (9 May 16) – just found out that this card was selected as a Design Team pick over on Stamp Ink Paper.  Check this card and the other winners at this link!  What a nice honor to be given! 🙂

Happy Star Wars Day, y’all!  May The Fourth Be With You! 🙂

I’ll tell you, this week is going by fast!  And work is heating up – fixin’ to be doing some really long days. The kind that start at the hindquarter-crack-of-dawn!  Yuk.  Which means I’m really kind of regretting my days of….sloth!….of this past weekend!  I usually, when I’m away like this and working long days, try to get all my cards for the week done on the weekend.  Cuz I know I’m going to get back to the hotel in a state of brain-deadness; wanting nothing more than dinner, a shower and to veg out in front of the tv till I fall asleep!

But – I must say, I can’t regret what I did on my days of sloth!  Eating great food and browsing the historic district in Savannah on Saturday and stamping with a friend on Sunday!  So, I’ll take it like a man…a WOman, that is!….and git ‘er done this week!

Today’s card uses another couple of things that are retiring – Petite Pairs stamp set and a little more of the lovely Birthday Bouquet DSP.  To that, I’ve added some flowers from the Grateful Bunch stamp set, punched with their matching Blossom Bunch Punch.  Which are not – thankfully! – retiring!  Take a look-see:

The design for my card was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch #446: Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Floral Wings Petite Pairs Get Well!

Happy Weekend, y’all!

Heading into the last day of OnStage Live.  It’s been a great event – punctuated by lots of Prize Patrols and whoo-hoo-ing – and a great new catalog.  I’ll be bringing home a few make-and-takes, that showcase some of the new products, and I’ve taken lots of display pictures – that I’ll share with you with the updates on Tuesday!  I can’t wait for you to see the new goodies!  

Convention

Today’s card is another one that uses a non-Stampin’ Up! pet stamp image.  I’ve used this cute little tilty-headed lab before – here’s a link to one, if you’re interested!  I combined it with a few images from the Host Exclusive stamp set called Floral Wings and sentiments from And Many More and Petite Pairs.  Add in some pretty DSP and, well, take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Grateful Bunch and Petite Pairs Any Occasion card

Good morning! By the time you read this, I should be (all things being equal!) sitting on an airplane with Amy Koenders. Getting ready to wing our way to Salt Lake City. OnStage, baby!

Now, for those of you who don’t know me – I’m not really a “whoo-hoo”-er. I’ve been known to be a “WHOOP!”-er – but only at horse shows and only when my fave gaited Saddlebred is passing in front of me and I’m showing my support.

I. Don’t. Whoo-hoo. At least not “for real” – I might do it in jest…but that’s it!

Miss Amy said a scary thing the other day while we were on a Google Hangout meeting. It had to do with her plan to whoo-hoo on the plane.

A Lot.

🙁

I’m very much hoping she was joshin’ me! Otherwise, I’ll be obligated to disavow her. At least for the duration of the flight! Do lots of sleeping or pretending to sleep. Put my headphones in – hopefully there’s a good movie…

We’ll see what happens!

Any-hooch. Let’s talk about my card for today, shall we? 🙂

I went back to my favorite bundle in the Occasions catalog – the Grateful Bunch bundle. I played with some watercoloring and punching and and some Timeless Textures and then I added a sentiment from Petite Pairs. Fair warning….put yer shades on and take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Petite Pairs Smiley Face Thanks

Good morning!  It was an absolutely gorgeous day here in Atlanta – and we spent the day doing a little spring prep!  For the past couple of years, we’ve done Square Foot Gardening.  Have you heard of that?  Well, it’s a great way to grow lots of veggies and flowers in a not-so-big-space.  My wonderful hubby built me a few raised 4′ x 4′ beds the first year that I did this….

Well, they’re starting to be a little the worse for wear, so it’s time to rebuild.  This time we’re using plastic pallets for the bases (we used wooden pallets the first time) and, since we’re building the sides with Trex, I think they’ll last for years! Whoo-hoo!

But, even in the midst of picking and choosing and finding and loading our new plastic pallets…I was designing a card in my head.  I’m a multi-tasker that way!  I’d seen a card that Brian King did a while back that had rainbow colored smiley faces on it – and I’d wanted to use that idea.

So I did.  But, I put a little twist on it – and it’s so easy and quick, you can knock this out in a heartbeat!  I used my 7/8″ Scalloped Circle punch, my 1″ Circle Punch, some card stock and Designer Series Paper Stack Backgrounds….and the fun little Annual Catalog Set called Petite Pairs.  Take a look-see:
