Stampin’ Up! What I Love Thank You and a Blog Candy Winner!

Sunday means a day of rest!!  Whoo-hoo!  And this week, it also means the announcement of the winner of last week’s Blog Candy!  Scroll on down to see if you’re the lucky one! 🙂

I went back to a beautiful stamp set that you can earn free in the Sale-A-Bration flyer, called What I Love.  I really like the pretty 3-step rose image that is the focal point of that set.  So I used it and combined it with a little Birthday Bouquet DSP from the Occasions catalog to make today’s share.  And, since I needed to replenish Thank You cards, I tapped one of my favorite Annual Catalog sets – One Big Meaning.   Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Have a Nice Cuppa Tea-Riffic!

Happy Saturday, y’all!  Hope that your weekend dawned bright and clear and that you’re getting ready to enjoy some much deserved rest and relaxation!

Last week, when I did my Blog Candy give-away (if you haven’t entered, there’s still a little time today – check it out here!) – many of you mentioned the A Nice Cuppa stamp set and the oh-so-cute matching Framelits called Cups & Kettle as being some of your very favorites!  Well, I really like that bundle, too, so that’s what I used – along with some of the coordinating Have a Cuppa DSP – to put together today’s share.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Bear Hugs Love Card

Good Friday morning, everyone!  I hope that today finds you looking forward to a fun and restful weekend.  For me – this is like Thursday.  Yes, we’re working tomorrow.  Working on Saturday.  Three pretty unhappy words to put in one sentence! 🙁

About 10 years ago I’d have said – no worries.  I’m young.  I can deal with it.

Not so much anymore!  I don’t do so good with one-day-weekends these days!

Do you feel sorry for me?

Do ya?

😉

Well, fiddle-dee-dee….let’s just worry about that tomorrow, shall we?? 🙂

Today’s card share uses one of the most fun new stamp set bundles in the Occasions Catalog, Bear Hugs  – paired with my second favoritist new Designer Paper – the Wildflower Fields DSP in the Sale-A-Bration catalog!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Love Blossom Hearts

Good Wednesday morning!  Today’s card is very quick and easy.  And super clean.  And also simple.  Any other descriptors?  I saw someone (actually several someone’s!) out on Pinterest had used this little Love Blossom Embellishment Kit wooden panel on a couple of cards.  So, when The Paper Players challenge #278 came up for a clean and simple Valentine card….

….I thought I’d give it a go.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Hello and a Limited Time Offer!

Happy Monday!  I can totally say that today because….I’ve got the day off! Whoo-HOOOOO!!  As I sit here typing this post – on Sunday night – I’m completely free of the “Sunday night blues”!  I’ve just spent the day – in my pajamas! – listening to music on my computer thru my bluetooth speaker (Christmas present – thanks Martin’s!), reading and making cards.  With a couple of meals thrown in.  Heck, I even left the Do Not Disturb sign on all day.

And I have every intention of repeating the whole thing again tomorrow.  Well – might have to let housekeeping come – I’m going to be out of coffee and that’s unacceptable! 😉

So, what did I make today?  This card, that uses one of my bug-a-boo designs from the Botanical Gardens DSP.  Just a hard design and color combo for me, but I decided to give it a go!  I combined that with the Botanical Builder Framelits and the Hello You Thinlits and that was it.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Easter Lamb, Friends and Flowers Welcoming Words (and Blog Candy!)

Well, good morning to you!  I’m glad you stopped by – I’ve got a cute welcome baby card to share with you today.  But, first…

I was busy today.  Did a little computer mailing….a little grocery shopping… and some stamping area setting up! If you’ve been following me for any time, you know that I travel with my stampin’ stuff if I’m going to be gone any length of time.  I have to say – if any of you are traveling and are just addicted to this craft of ours enough to want to take it all with you and stamp in your hotel…TownePlace Suites are a good bet!  I love this table/desk area they have!  Take a look at what I got set up today – and didn’t even have to beg an additional table!

Yuma Stamping Spot - Stamps-N-Lingers

Kinda cool, huh?  Certainly not bad for a hotel room craft spot!

So, at my new desk, I created a soft, cute card today to welcome a new baby to the family.  I used several new stamp sets – Honeycomb Happiness (read on down for a chance to win this set for yourself!), Friends & Flowers, Easter Lamb and Welcoming Words!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Honeycomb Happiness Chick on a Super Simple Saturday!

Made it to the weekend!!  Whoo-hoo!  I’m sitting here on Friday night typing this post with the entire, beautiful, lovely, empty weekend stretching ahead of me.  It’s even a Three-Day Weekend.  Thank you, Mr. King!  On top of all that, we got off work ridiculously early today.  Like…I drove all the way back to the hotel….in DAYlight! 😉  So, I’m simply luxuriating in the knowledge that for the next three days… I don’t have to put make-up on, don’t have to get up at any particular time, don’t have to fight my work computer (whole other frustrating story that I won’t bore you with).  Nothing like that at all.  For 72 hours!  Holy smokes!!

So tomorrow, after I get up whenever I want to! – I’ll be doing my “nesting”.  I made the decision the other day to not change hotels, so now I can set up my crafting area, put away all my clothes and stuff, and settle down.  And I can make cards again!  Whoo-hoo!

But, I’ve still got one more card to share that I made before I left Atlanta.  It uses the crazy cute stamp set in Sale-A-Bration called Honeycomb Happiness.  This little chick-dude (dude-ette?) is totally adorable.  And this card will go together for you lickety-split.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Words and One Big Meaning Thank You Cards

Well, here it is again – FRIDAY!  Wow.  It’s weird that I sit at work and the time drags but then I write my posts and my first week in AZ is already in the history books!  I’m most definitely not complaining – I’m already looking forward to the end of the trip!

So, in my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator persona, one thing I can never have too many of is Thank You cards!  When I recently sent my 2016 Occasions Catalog shares out, I included (as I always do!) a Thank You note in each package.  I put together a stack of them, using the Watercolor Thank You stamp and some of the new Sale-a-Bration Perfectly Artistic DSP.  I liked them so much that I decided to make a few more, and share them with you!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Heart Wedding Congratulations

Mornin’, y’all!  As we hit the half-way point, I hope the week is treating you well and that you’re busily stamping away with your fave SU! products and waiting for your new Occasions goodies and FREE Sale-a-Bration toys to arrive in the mail!

My share today is a wedding card – I don’t have anyone on my list right now who needs a wedding card (at least not one that’s as Princess wedding/formal as this card turned out!), but the sketch challenge that I played with for this card just seemed to cry out for a wedding card!  I ended up using the completely perfect-for-a-wedding-card Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits, some florals from Timeless Love and both Sassy Salutations and For The New Two stamp sets for my sentiments.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Sweetbriar Rose Just a Note

Good Monday morning.  Today, we take a break from our regularly scheduled program and take a look back thru the dusty shelves of Mary’s Stampin’ spot in her living room!  You may recall me telling you last week that I did a bit of a purge of my retired stamp sets, and “found” some oldie-but-goodies lurking in the shelving (actually $1.99 plastic CD boxes from Publix!).  They were just begging to be used!

So, I granted the wish of a lovely lovely stamp called Sweetbriar Rose.  This is an ala carte stamp (it comes all by itself, in wood) and is just wonderful.  I combined it with a simple sentiment from Watercolor Wishes (which comes in the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit – and is WAY worth having – it’s a wonderful group of sentiments in gorgeous fonts!), and stepped way back into my wheelhouse.  Take a look-see:
