When looking for signs of “winter” – SOME people look for falling leaves. Snow. Overcast and blustery days.

For us? We look for all that. But the REAL signs are fuzz-bucket ponies and…

Wayne atop the first bale of the season going into the pasture. Complete with covers and insulated hoody!

THAT means winter is here for real here at the Deatherage house!

Stampin’ Up! We’ll Walrus Be Ready For Birthdays

Posted on May 6, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwwmp Day!! Hope your week is going well! I am sitting on pins-and-needles, waiting for the text saying my Pre-Order is at the gate. Whoo-hooo!! I’ll probably hop onto my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page to give you all a look-see….so if you’re interested, be sure to watch for notifications!! 🙂

In the meantime – let’s take a look at the card I made today! It’s a birthday card using the uber-cute (and RETIRING!) We’ll Walrus Be Friends stamp set. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is from this week’s Sunday Stamps challenge.

And the color palette is from the Cupcake Inspiration challenge.

I started with a piece of Purple Posy paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP (although the colors will still be around – these PATTERNS are retiring – so….get them quickly! The Brights, Subtles and Neutrals are already gone!!). I matted the paper on Purple Posy card stock with Liquid Glue for the card front.

A slightly narrower piece in Coastal Cabana (from the aforementioned sold out Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP) adhered over top is next.

I stamped the sweet We’ll Walrus Be Friends tusked-wonder in Smoky Slate on Whisper White and cut it with the largest circle Stitched Shapes die. I colored the image with my Light Pool Party, Light Smoky Slate and Light Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends. The Color Lifter Blend on his belly and schnoozle helped add a little dimension.

I stamped a couple of fish in Coastal Cabana and colored them with the Dark Pool Party Blend. Then I adhered the circle to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the We’ll Walrus Be Friends sentiment in Coastal Cabana on a strip of Whisper White and snipped banner ends. Then I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A single Purple Posy 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Gem on the sentiment strip finished off the card front.

On the inside, I added a second sentiment in Coastal Cabana on a Whisper White panel. Then, there are three more Walruses (walrusi?) and fishes peeking in from all around! A lone Purple Posy faceted gem finishes it off.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Purple Posy mat and then into my Smoky Slate card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got a couple more walrusussusss and fishessessess on the front.

…and a little more Purple Posy DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! We’ll Walrus Be Friends is just adorable – with several different sweet images and fun sentiments.

So – don’t let this one….swim away from you! 😉

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Chic Oasis and a Blog Candy Winner!

Posted on May 5, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Good morning!! This is a big Tuesday for us – not cuz it’s Cinco De Mayo but…cuz it’s PRE-ORDER day!! Whoo-hooo! I’m excited to get a few of the new goodies – and start to share them with you. You’ll be able to get them for yourself on 3 Jun! Of course, you could also decide to join the SU! team right now and then YOU could be sitting at your computer picking new goodies!! 🙂 Interested? Give me a shout!

Of course – the dark side of new goodies is…saying good-bye to some old friends. Like…the Tropical Chic stamp set and coordinating Tropical Dies. These are in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. And – from the Jan-Jun Mini, I used some retiring Tropical Oasis DSP and the wonderful Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder! Take a look-see:

The layout – and the theme! – is from the FUSION challenge this week. I went for both sides!!

I started with a piece of Early Espresso card stock and embossed it in the Coastal Wevae 3D Embossing Folder (I am pretty bummed this is leaving us – hope you’ve got it. If not… 🙂 ). Then I matted it on Grapefruit Grove (the In Color I’m going to miss the most!) for the card front.

Next up, I used the square die in the Tropical Dies to cut a piece of Grapefruit Grove. Now – this die actually cuts negative space into a piece of cardstock. So, I used my Paper Trimmer to cut it out. I cut a same-size square of the Tropical Oasis DSP.

With Liquid Glue – I adhered the die cut to the DSP square – and then to the card front.

With Liquid Glue, I created a “twist” from a piece of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (also retiring!) and then used more Liquid Glue to adhere it to the card front.

I stamped the Tropical Chic sentiment in Shaded Spruce on a strip of Whisper White and snipped a banner end. With my Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Marker, I edged the strip. Then I used Liquid Glue under the left end – and doubled-up Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the strip.

Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the little flower from Tropical Chic. I used the Marker-to-Rubber technique with the Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Marker. I finished up the flower by adding some Shaded Spruce accents with my Stampin’ Write Marker.

Finally – I cut it with the die in the Tropical Die set and adhered it to the end of the sentiment strip with Liquid Glue. And that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I added a second Tropical Chic sentiment in Shaded Spruce to a Whisper White panel. Then I stamped the little flower in Grapefruit Grove and Shaded Spruce.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat and into my Shaded Spruce card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Tropical Chic flower on the front…

…and some more of the Tropical Oasis DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Tropical Chic – and the coordinating Tropical Dies (on sale for just $18.90!!) – is a really nice set – with pretty tropical leaves (with dies to cut them out!!) and sentiments!

And you ALL know how I feel about the wunnermus Tropical Oasis DSP!!

I hope you like – and will get these goodies before they’re gone! Remember – only the stamp sets are guaranteed thru 15 May. Everything else is strictly while supplies last. So…

If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!

Well – we turned the A/C on on Monday.

Bleh. I really love the windows open but…it was just too hot.

For us.

And for the fur-monger. He was sleeping in front of the back door – sleep-panting… 🙁

So – it seemed like a good day for ice cream.

He agreed!! 🙂

He REALLY puts his whole self into his ice cream!!

Finn enjoys a good massage as much as the next guy.

Or…his Mom! Who is missing her monthly massage almost as much as she’s missing being able to get a haircut.

But…back to Finn’s…back!

Observe. His Dad giving him a traditional Ashiatsu massage. Don’t be too impressed – I had to Google it! 😉

Okay – so it might not be all that traditional in north Georgia when performed by a guy in hiking boots! 😉

But…regardless. Finn-y likes it!

Hmmm…If this isolation thing goes on much longer, I may have to wrestle Finn for the spot on the floor! 😉

Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Posted on May 1, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday!! Hope it’s been a good week for you. We’re just doing the self-isolation/quarantine thing…how about you? Besides card making – what fun things are you doing to keep yourself busy (and sane!) as we head into the 765th weekend of The COVID-19 Crisis??

If you were able to join me for my YouTube video – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay…here ’tis!

As you can see from the photo above – this card is based on the wonderful Magnolia Lane Suite – the Good Morning Magnolia bundle (with the Magnolia Memories Die set) and gorgeous Magnolia Lane DSP! I created a fun-fold that looks a lot like an envelope so…that’s what I’m calling it! Take a look-see:

The layout – that I turned into a fun-fold! – was inspired by this week’s Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge.

I started with a 5 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that I scored and folded at 2 5/8″ and again at 6 7/8″ for the card base.

On the smaller panel, I measured and marked the half-way point (2 3/4″) and used my Paper Trimmer to cut the point.

I used the same technique (measure half-way down the long side and cut to the point) to create the Petal Pink mat (2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″) and the Magnolia Lane DSP (2 3/8″ x 4 7/8″) panel. Note – this part of the card is at about the 7:35 mark in the video! 🙂

Then I adhered the pieces together and to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I adhered a different design of the DSP to a larger Petal Pink mat and then to the larger panel on the front.

For the sentiment, I inked the Good Morning Magnolia sentiment in Versamark Ink and stamped it on a piece of Basic Black card stock. I sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. When it was cool, I cut it out with a Stitched So Sweetly label die.

Using the small flower die in the Magnolia Memories Die set – I cut a magnolia blossom from one of the designs in the Magnolia Lane DSP. I used the leaves dies to cut three Mossy Meadow leaves.

Using Liquid Glue – I adhered the flower to the sentiment label and the leaves to the underside of the label.

I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the point of the envelope fold – being sure to leave room for my ribbon to slide through to create my closure.

I added some Pearl Basic Jewels to the label – and the card front was done!

For the inside, I stamped the small flower from Good Morning Magnolia in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel. I colored the bloom with my Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Combo. Then I added a sentiment in Mossy Meadow.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Petal Pink mat and into my card base – and the card was done!

I slid a length of ribbon (either Petal Pink 5/16″ Organdy Striped Ribbon or the linen ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack – which is retiring and on sale!!) under the label and tied a bow to create the closure for the card.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Good Morning Magnolia blossom on the front…

…and some more Magnolia Lane DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! This is a super easy fold – once you know the dimensions for the pointy flap, right? I love how it lets you showcase some gorgeous DSP like the Retiring-soon Magnolia Lane paper (and – it’s got a GREAT price right now)! I hope you like!

And I’m SO happy that the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating Magnolia Memories Dies are carrying over!

Do remember, though – that the BUNDLE pricing (with its 10% Savings) WILL go away when this catalog ends. You’ll have to purchase the stamp set and dies separately in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog!

Just sayin’….

Some days? The quarantining is just…too much for a guy. The humans need too much attention. Too much love. Too much…everything.

And you have to go sit out in a clearing by yourself and watch the birds and bugs. And maybe a deer. A little Me time.

Just for a bit.

Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Bonanza for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 30, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a color challenge – 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!

So. Can you believe that the Honey Bee stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bee Dies are RETIRING!??! Waaaaaaaaa!!!! 😢😢😢

I know. I feel your pain. But – the fact remains – they ARE retiring. As is the fun and festive Birthday Bonanza DSP. Which means you need to be sure you grab it ALL up now – only the stamp set is guaranteed to be around thru the end of the catalog on 2 Jun – the rest are only while supplies last!

Perhaps the card I made for you today will help you decide to act right now!

And here’s the color palette we were all working with!

I kind of loosely based my layout on the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week!

I started with some paper from the Birthday Bonanza DSP that I matted on Bermuda Bay for the card front.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the bee skep from Honey Bee in Grapefruit Grove.

A skep could TOTALLY be Grapefruit Grove colored! 😉

Above it, I added the curved sentiment in Bermuda Bay.

I used my Journaling Pen to do a little doodling around the outline of the skep – adhered the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and onto the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the little bee in Tuxedo Black on Whisper White – and the Hello sentiment in Bermuda Bay. I cut the bee with the matching die in the Detailed Bee dies and the sentiment with the Classic Label Punch.

Using my Light Bermuda Bay and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Markers, I colored the wing and body of the bee. Then I adhered the sentiment with Liquid Glue and popped the bee on with a Black Stampin’ Dimensional.

I tied a bow with some Grapefruit Grove twine from the Nature’s Twine Pack (this is ALSO retiring!) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

I also colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with the Dark Daffodil Delight Blend and adhered them around the card front and on the sentiment – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second Honey Bee sentiment in Bermuda Bay to a Whisper White panel. I stamped the little bee in Tuxedo Black and colored it with the Light Bermuda Bay and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Markers.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more bees on the front…

…and I added more of the Birthday Bonanza DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I do love the Honey Bee stamp set and the super-cool Detailed Bee Dies, don’t you? And there’s nothing like the Birthday Bonanza DSP for a fun and cheerful card! These goodies – plus the Nature’s Twine Pack and all-things Grapefruit Grove – are all leaving on 2 June! So…don’t miss out.

I hope you like!

If you’d like to recreate this card, all the products and card cuts are listed below!

Stampin’ Up! Best Catch Fun Fold with Video Tutorial for The Paper Players

Posted on April 26, 2020 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a nice, open sketch challenge from the talented Laurie 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!

Today is Wayne’s birthday so I made him a card! And, since he’s a fisherman and…a guy!…a fun-fold with a fishing theme seemed like the way to go. It ended up being kind of an homage to several wonderful retiring goodies – including the Best Catch stamp set and bundled Catch of the Day die set. Take a look-see:

And here’s this week’s Paper Players CAS challenge! Hope you’ll join the fun and show us your projects! I can’t wait to see what you create! 🙂

I also played along with the TGIF Challenge this week!

I started with a piece of Night of Navy card stock that I embossed in the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder (yes – this is RETIRING, so…get it quick!). Then I matted it on a piece of Soft Suede for the card front.

The accordian fold is 4 1/4″ x 9″. I colored the “sky” with my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Combo and the ground with my Crumb Cake Combo. Then, using the little “gravel” image in the Best Catch set, I stamped all over the “ground” in Soft Suede. I stamped the image two or three times without re-inking.

Next, I scored the panel with my Simply Scored tool at 1″, 2″, 4″ and 6″. I burnished the folds – starting with a “mountain” at 1″ and then valley (2″), mountain (4″) and valley (6″).

On the third panel, in Night of Navy ink, I stamped a sentiment from Best Catch. Then I adhered the folded panel to a Soft Suede mat and onto the card front with Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Whisper White – I made a big ole splotch of Old Olive using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo. I just used both blends to scribble a big enough “background” to cut three of the grass dies in the Catch of the Day set. While I had it out, I also cut four of them from the Old Olive color in the Perennial Essence Vellum (Retiring).

I colored all the tops of the cattails with the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend.

The Best Catch bass is stamped in Soft Suede on Whisper White and cut with the matching Catch of the Day die. Then I colored it with my Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso Watercolor Pencils.

Finally, I stamped the fisher-dude in Soft Suede, and cut him with his die. He’s also colored with the Watercolor Pencils. His little “water” swirly is colored with the Balmy Blue Blends.

Using Liquid Glue (or Glue Dots for the vellum grasses), I adhered the pieces on various panels – being sure to not interfere with the folds! I nestled the bass in and amongst some grass…and used my Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker to hand-draw a few birds in the corner.

The final piece is the sentiment. It’s a word cut with the Well Written Dies (yep – also retiring!). I cut three of them in Night of Navy and adhered them in a stack with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered just the first part of the sentiment to the first panel. and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second sentiment (this one is from the Bonanza Buddies stamp set – which is retiring, too!) in Night of Navy to a Whisper White panel. I colored some “shore” at the bottom of the panel and stamped the creel in Soft Suede and a hat in Crumb Cake. I lightly colored both images with my Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend and the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Soft Suede mat and into my Night of Navy card base, and to adhere the card front and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more shoreline and Best Catch fishing gear on the front…

…and I added a little Come Sail Away DSP (you guessed it….going away!) on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! So – this card – with it’s Best Catch, Catch of the Day, Bonanza Buddies, Well Written, Come Sail Away DSP, Perennial Essence Vellum and High Seas 3D Embossing Folder (whew!) – is a true memoriam to some wonderful products that will be gone-baby-gone SOON! So – if you don’t have them in your stash, you need to remedy that right away! Remember – while the stamps will for sure be around thru the end of the catalog – ALL the rest is “while supplies last”. So…tarry not!

Stampin’ Up! Best Catch Video Tutorial Sneak Peek

Posted on April 25, 2020 by stampsnlingers

‘Sup, y’all!? Well – our first day back “open” looked a lot (to us) like the previous day “closed”. I have zero intention of doing much different any time soon.

Well, I mean except for the three massages, hair cut and tattoo I have scheduled for this afternoon! 😉

Just kidding.

It’s only two massages.

Really – totally kidding. But I DO rather desperately need a haircut…

Since none of that’s really going to happen, I’ll be planning to go live tonight at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page! We’re going to make a fun fun-fold card and decorate it up with the Best Catch bundle. Which is retiring. In fact, the whole card is kind of an homage to the retiring list! Take a sneaky peek!

It’s a fun one that I think you’ll enjoy – so I hope you’ll be able to join me!

Tonight. 7pm Eastern. Right here.
