Stampin’ Up! First Sight For The New Two

Posted on March 30, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – I hope that you’re enjoying your week! It’s almost over. Be brave!

This weekend, my best friend is getting married in Nebraska. My hubs and I aren’t going to be able to get there for it – and I’m sad about that. But, it is what it is, and I know she understands why. As a consolation prize, I’ve made her a batch of chocolate dipped Espresso Chocolate Chip Biscotti. Which she asks me for every time I see or talk to her! Their wedding invitation said “No Gifts” (this is a second marriage for them both) but I figure cookies isn’t really a gift….right? 😉

And – of course, I made her a wedding card!

I used the pretty wedding-oriented stamp set called For the New Two and a little Timeless Textures. And First Sight, also from the Occasions catalog. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Updates for 29 Mar and TRIPLE Peppermint Rewards Ordering Special!

Posted on March 29, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Through the end of Sale-A-Bration (hard to believe I’m already typing those words!) which is this Thursday at midnight (Mountain Time)!

With every $50 in product (before shipping and tax) that you buy thru my Online Store, you’ll be getting:

A FREE Sale-A-Bration goody! That’s one free item from Stampin’ Up! for EVERY $50 you spend!
TRIPLE Punkin’ Head Peppermint rewards points – 6 points, to be exact – for every $50 you spend!
A MYSTERY Gift from me!
And your regular ordering gift from me!

Why is 6 Peppermint points a good thing? Well, consider that when you earn 16 points, you’ll get a free $40 gift from me. That you select from an active catalog. I’ll even let you hold onto your gift until the new Annual Catalog comes out this summer, if you like! And I’ll ship it directly to you for free! So…6 points for each $50….means you’d be way, WAY on your way to earning that FREE gift. 🙂

This is a super way to get more points towards a pretty big free gift! Not to mention grabbing those last-minute Sale-A-Bration favorite goodies while you’re at it!

Stamps-N-Lingers TRIPLE Peppermint Rewards Ordering Special!

Posted on March 28, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Okay – I woke up this morning feeling really generous. I tried to decide what to do with that feeling, and I came up with this!

I’ve been offering an Ordering Special for a couple of weeks – but now I’m going to sweeten the pot!

Instead of DOUBLE Peppermint Reward Points – I’m going to make it TRIPLE!

So….what does that mean??

Stampin’ Up! Blue Bold Butterflies!

Posted on March 28, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, ya’ll! I hope that you had a wonderful Easter with your families and friends! I have a super easy, super quick card to share with you today – but, first, I wanted to take a hot second to remind you of one of the biggest benefits available to you during Sale-A-Bration. And that’s the extra bonus money you have to spend on the world’s best bundled kit – the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit! You already know that when you sign up as a Demonstrator – whether you want to do this as a business or as a Hobby Demo (either way you get 20% off everything you order! ) – you get $125 worth of great SU! product for your investment of $99.

And it comes to you with FREE shipping!

But. When you sign up during Sale-A-Bration – Stampin’ Up! is going to give you an EXTRA $30 worth of FREE goodies.

And you get to pick all $155 worth of product. No “Starter Packages” for us – you pick what you want! 🙂

And it still comes to you with FREE shipping!

So – if you have any interest whatsoever in joining Stampin’ Up! – now is the absolutely best time to do it.

And – did I mention that there’s no commitment at all?? If you decide to stay active – you do. If you decide not to – you don’t. Done!

Let me know if you want to get this done before the end of Sale-A-Bration….which is Thursday! 31 March. Don’t miss out, okay?

And – there are some other great bennies that happen during Sale-A-Bration. Check those out here.

This has been a message from your friendly neighborhood Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator. We’ll now return you to our regularly scheduled blog post! 😉

I wanted a quick and easy Clean and Simple Card. So, I pulled out the Sheltering Tree swath image, a few pretty blue ink pads, and the Bold Butterfly Framelits. And this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Easter Cross

Posted on March 27, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Good Easter morn’ to you all! Rejoice in this day! 🙂

I have an Easter Cross card to share today – but it’s a bit of a cautionary tale! It could be titled: Check Supplies Twice Before Beginning. Or: Always Finish Your Card Front First. And the main character in this decidedly NON-fiction tale is….Gold Foil. You’ll see why shortly!

I used several flower makers for this card – the Botanical Builder Framelits, Petite Petals punch flowers and Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack flowers. And I went back to the In The Meadow stamp set. Just a reminder – this set is in the Occasions catalog – and is only guaranteed active thru the end of the sale period – 31 May. Which seems like a long way away – until you realize it’s practically APRIL! Can you even believe that?? So if you’re wanting this lovely stamp set, get it soon!

Anyway – take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! The Wilderness Awaits In The Meadow!

Posted on March 26, 2016 by stampsnlingers

So – I love when someone asks me to make a card for them to give to someone special. For me, it means that they really care enough to not want a cookie-cutter card from the grocery store aisle. And that’s cool. I also really like it – a lot! – when that request gives me an excuse to buy a new goody! Like the card I have to share with you today.

My friend has a friend who’s been in the hospital – in and out – for the past several weeks. A long time! He’s a “dog guy” – I made the leap that he’s a “hunting dog guy” – since those are a lot of the kinds of folks she knows. So she wanted a card with a dog and the outdoors.

Sadly – I had yet to purchase the The Wilderness Awaits stamp set. I’ve been so busy acquiring Occasions catalog sets and bundles that I kept pushing that down my list. So now was the perfect opportunity! Once it arrived, I paired it with the In the Meadow set – which did come from the Occasions catalog and I very much hope makes it into the next Annual! I added a few of the great sentiments from Greatest Greetings and….take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Rose Wonder Watercolor Beautiful Blessing

Posted on March 25, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday! I’m peering at you thru the miasma of yellow-green-pine-pollen-plogged eyeballs! The world has become a yellow fog here in the South. Just about the time the temps rose back into the I-want-the-windows-open range, too. But you just can’t do it – or that crud will be all over everything. So…we hunker in our “air tight pollen resistant” houses and glare resentfully outside. Waiting. Waiting. Hoping there’ll be a few days – weeks would be better – between the end of Pollen Season and the start of Hot Humid Season.

And keeping the rescue inhaler in the pants pocket! 🙂

So, today’s card is a spring-y card, again (no, I didn’t use any yellow embossing powder….), that uses the Rose Wonder Suite – which includes the bundled Rose Wonder stamp set and Rose Garden Thinlits! And I did a little watercoloring today with my Aqua Painter. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Botanical Builder Hello

Posted on March 23, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Hey, y’all – welcome back. Glad that you could stop by on this Wednesday – Hawp Day! I have a confession to make to you. Yesterday I told you that I pretty much never run out of Pearl Basic Jewels. That was sort of a fib. I didn’t realize it was a fib until I went to make today’s card. When I got to the point where I needed to find my flower centers – they were pretty much begging to have Pearls in them! – I realized just how dire my circumstances had become.

Oh, I knew my supply was low – especially in the area of the tiniest of the pearls in a pack. I have none of those left. Nary a one! I have a smattering of medium sized ones and hooked-together straight strip ones. And tons of giant ones – cuz of how I seldom use that size.

So Monday – when I ordered the fringe scissors – when they were on sale – I grabbed a couple of Pearl Basic Jewel packs. Yes, of course I did, since they went on sale the very next day! 🙁 Not to say I won’t put in another order – I need those teeny tiny seed pearls! But, I hate missing a sale. I mean – I’m perfectly willing to spend $20 on pearl packs just cuz I can save $1.25 a pack. Aren’t you? 😉

Anywho – I decided to use the large pearls on this card – I hope they don’t look too awfully clunky to you! I used one of the new Annual Catalog DSPs – well, it was new last summer, anyway! – the Bohemian DSP. And I combined it with some flowers from the Botanical Builder Framelits and a greeting from the Greetings Thinlits. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Circle of Spring Garden

Posted on March 21, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Well, it’s Monday again. Funny how this day just keeps rolling around. One second it’s Friday night and the weekend seems like it’ll last forever…and the next, you’re sitting with a cat on your lap, balancing a laptop on a furry purring body, writing about Monday. Whaaaaaaaaat???

It was colder than a well-digger’s lunch bucket here today. Temps were in the 50’s but the wind’s just a blowin’ a gale! Brrrrrr!

I know – you click on this post each day just hoping and hoping for a weather update from Fayetteville, GA! 😉

So, even though it’s freezing outside, it’s also quite beautiful – partly cloudy with enough sun peeking thru to make it spectacular. Which means that making a card for Spring was just the right thing to do! I dove back into some of my not-so-brand-new stamp sets for this one…Circle of Spring gave me my focal point and sentiment, and the lovely Garden in Bloom contributed the oh-so-cute honey bee. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Pedal Pusher Number of Years Anniversary

Posted on March 20, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all! Today. Was. Spectacular! It’s really trying to be Spring in the South – which means it’s going to be in the 30’s next week! But for today – the real harbingers of spring are springing! I’m talking about the Dogwood trees, of course!

They’re one of my very favorite trees – and they’re dotted all over our property. When they bloom, they look like those white fairy lights that folks put up in the trees in their yard. Only – we don’t have to put them up or pay for electricity! They’re just beautiful and I’m always hopeful to be home when they’re blooming – so….yeah! 🙂

Today’s card, as promised, is an Anniversary Card. Our friends celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on Friday – so I wanted to send them a card. Okay – it’s a little late, but…I didn’t know it until late on Friday. So….

I thought the tandem bike in Pedal Pusher was a perfect focal point and I also wanted to use the Large Number Framelits. So I did – and added in a little Timeless Textures and Timeless Love! Take a look-see:
