Stampin’ Up! Awesome Grateful Bunch!

Good morning!  I hope you’re enjoying your weekend!  Yesterday was just as bad as I figured it would be – I packed one Priority Mail box with paper and punches (it weighs approximately a million pounds!).  This morning we’re going to see if I need to pull more out of the suitcases and pack a second box.  Keep your fingers crossed, okay? 😉

Today’s share uses another new Occasions catalog stamp set – Grateful Bunch.  But, let me ask you a question, y’all.  Am I a complete goofus?  Did I – or did I not – learn a valuable lesson when I failed to buy the Among the Branches bundle in the Holiday Catalog?  When I said to myself – “self, you’re not going to need or want that stamp set – just get the Woodland TIEF – you don’t need the bundle”.  And then, not a week and change later, did I or did I not buy the Among the Branches stamp set??  The answer is no – I did not learn a lesson.  Cause yes – I did exactly that.

Now, I’ve told you over and over what a great deal buying bundles is.  Right?  But – apparently I do not listen to my own advice.  When making my ginormous Occasions Catalog order last week, I said to myself – “self, you’re not going to need or want that punch that coordinates with Grateful Bunch.  Just get the stamp set”.  So, once again I went against my own advice.

So, for today’s card – which uses Grateful Bunch, and COULD have used the matching punch (Blossom Bunch Punch – available with Grateful Bunch for $33.00), I did a lot of fussy cutting! 😉  I combined the pretty flowers and sentiments from Grateful Bunch with some Wildflower Fields DSP and this is what I came up with.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals Just For You!

Happy First-Day-Of-The-Weekend, folks!  I hope you have pretty weather and a lovely day planned!  My day revolves around frantically trying to finish up a few cards to take with me for next week.  Oh – and packing.  Clothes are easy!  Stampin’ stuff….not so much!  What to take?  What to leave?  What if I leave something and then just NEED it when I’m there?!?!  Oh the stress!  I’m thinkin’ that I’m going to take only Occasions and SAB stamps and DSPs…and a couple of staple sentiment sets from the Annual Catalog.  And the card stock that coordinates with the DSP.  And punches.  And Framelits.  And TIEFs.  And – of course! – my Big Shot!  Which sounds like a completely doable (if suitcase-busting!) plan.  If only I could wiggle my nose like Samantha Stevens and my bags would be packed!  I kinda dated myself right there, didn’t I!?!? 😉

Anyway – I’ve got a pretty card to share today that uses what is likely my very favorite suite from the Occasions Catalog – the Botanical Gardens Suite.  I love everything associated with this suite.  This card uses the Botanical Builder Framelits and the Botanical Gardens DSP.  I combined it with a sentiment from Watercolor Words (another fave set from the Annual Catalog), and this is what I came up with.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Going Places Sky High Birthday

Happy Friday, y’all!  I’m counting down the days until I head out again – so am enjoying as much “at home” time as I can!  Today was exciting – I got my hair cut.

No – that’s not the cause for excitement!  When I got home – I had a box sitting by the gate that said “Stampin’ Up!” on the side!  Oh my goodness, what fun THAT was to open!  Stamps, and paper, and punches, and inks, and embellishments and more stamps and framelits…..wow.  I surely did enjoy pulling those things out of that box!! 🙂

I spent a little time making a card with some of the new goodies, but my share for today is one I made a couple of days ago – you’ll maybe recall that I’m busily getting ahead on cards so I can keep the blog posts going next week…

So, this one is a masculine birthday card – I get asked for those every once in a while, so I figured I’d try to come up with one!  It uses Sky is the Limit (this is a Sale-A-Bration stamp set that’s only available until 15 Feb!) and a sentiment from Guy’s Greetings (a fun set from the Annual Catalog).  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Apple of My Eye Thanks

Good morning!  I hope that you’ve been doing some shopping in the new Occasions Catalog and getting lots of free stuff for Sale-A-Bration! 🙂

My share today is kind of fruity!  Literally!  I made it with the new Apple of My Eye stamp set – which we all got when we attended OnStage Live last year.  I haven’t done much with it since we got it – don’t know why, just haven’t.  So I determined I was going to use it today!  I combined it with some Cherry On Top DSP – from the Annual Catalog.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! What I Love Sneak Peek!

I’ve been a busy Stampin’ Up! bee today!  I cleared out my retiring products from my stamping area and I built a spreadsheet to get an inventory going.  Had to do it.  I have multiples of ink pads and even a couple of doubled stamp sets! 🙁  Not a solid financial plan, is it?  So I figured maybe I could get a handle on it if I at least knew what I had!

The result of this effort was “discovering” stamp sets I’d sort of forgotten I have!  It was a little like opening that box from Stampin’ Up! all over again!  Kinda fun.

I also realized that I leave here in a week.  For a month.  Again.  And go right on nights. Yuk.

Making cards is hard when you work nights.  Especially when it’s more a swing than a night.  No morning time and get home too late to do much more than shower and crash.  So…I need to make cards ahead!  That was the other thing I started working on today.

With that lead in, I bet you think I’m going to share a project that uses a not-so-new-but-just-rediscovered, Annual Catalog stamp set, huh?  Well, you’d be guessin’ wrong! 😉 I’m using a fun stamp set that you can get starting TOMORROW!!!  Yes, that’s right – we’re on the very cusp of the 2016 Occasions Catalog going live!  And the Sale-A-Bration mini as well.

I’m using the SAB stamp set called What I Love. It’s a cool photopolymer set with a beautiful 3-step flower and some nice sentiments in a pretty font.  I combined that with the Bohemian Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog and this is what I came up with.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Love You Sew Bids You Thanks a Hole Punch!

I think I achieved a personal record today!  I thought up, built, finished and photographed a card (with envelope!) in just an hour!  It usually takes me a lot longer than that, so I’m pretty happy with myself.  And – that means that you could whip this card out in a heartbeat – and it’s a Single Stamp Set card, too!

Now, I’m sure you’ve seen this layout floating around – it’s pretty popular right now, it seems – and I think it stems from a sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday a couple weeks back!

MM 428

So the idea of a tag-on-a-card has been in my head for a bit.  And the Love You Sew stamp set sentiment “Thanks a Hole Punch”…well, there was a tag made with it in the Occasions catalog, so that’s been in the back of my mind for a while as well.  I actually bought the 1/8″ and 1/16” Circle Punches when they were on the Weekly Deal, just so I could make a card with them and this sentiment.  So, I finally did it.  And set a record time!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Home Window

 

Good morning, y’all!  We ate our greens and black-eyed peas today, so I’m assuming I’ll win the lottery very soon.  Don’t fret – I’ll still remember all the little people when I’m rich rich RICH! 😉  And I’ll for sure keep stamping and blogging.  Probably in my brand new, fully Stamp-N-Storage equipped craft room…. 😉 😉

In the meantime, though, I made a card for you today at my in-the-living-room-crafting-spot.  Which is equipped with some fun Stamp-N-Storage pieces (OBTW – they’re having a 10% off sale thru the 4th – so….this would be a great time to get some super storage pieces!).

For my card, I used the new set called Happy Home – this will be available for y’all to buy on the 5th.  That’s just around the corner – like…Tuesday! 🙂  This is a fun stamp set that also coordinates with the fun Hearth and Home Thinlit dies (which you guys saw in the Holiday Catalog and which you’ll be able to get as a 15% off bundle with this stamp set if you don’t already have it!).  And I combined it with the Happy Heart TIEF and some Itty Bitty Flowers.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Layered Letters Alphabet Happy New Year Card

sparkling_2016

Well, good morning to you all on this very first Stamps-N-Lingers Blog Post for 2016! 🙂  I hope that you all had a great New Years Eve – and didn’t need too much hair of the dog this morning!  We did our usual – woke up (blearily) for a few minutes when we heard fireworks outside.  And went right back to sleep.  Yes, it’s true.  We are dyed-in-the-wool party animals! 😉

I made y’all a fun Happy New Year card today – but, when you see it, you’ll know that it could be a card for a lot of “Happy” occasions!  I used an old favorite – one I haven’t pulled out in a while – the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp set.  I also picked an image from the soon-to-be-retired Six Sayings Hostess set from the 2015 Holiday Catalog.  And I also took advantage of the Confetti TIEF – available in just 4 days in the Occasions Catalog!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Sky High Bloomin’ Love!

Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!  Guess what day it is?!?  It’s LAST-HAWP-DAY-OF-2015-DAY!!

I think.

I’ve been screwed up on what day it is since Christmas!  Christmas just happened on the wrong day of the week for me.  So I’ve been messed up – hopefully I’ll remember when Friday is and eat my black eyed peas and greens! 🙂

Today I have a card that combines Bloomin’ Love – from the 2016 Occasions Catalog – and Sky Is The Limit – from the Sale-A-Bration Flyer.  I ended up with a really clean and simple card, that I think you’ll like!  Take a look-see:
