Good morning, y’all and happy Friday! Hope you’ve been having a good week and are looking forward to a couple of days off!
My card today is one that really showcases a new stamp set coming on 1 July in the Online Exclusives July Release – it’s called Artistic Leaves and it’s wonderful! I added it to a little Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ DSP and…some more of my new fave thing to play with – the Metallic Textures Rub Ons (from the Annual Catalog). Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all, on this Memorial Day, 2025! I hope you have plans to spend some time with family and friends today – maybe burn a hot dog or two (and make some s’mores!). But – while you’re doing THAT – please take a moment to remember WHY you have a day off today. Send up a prayer for all those who bought our freedom and way of life with their blood. That’s a debt we can never repay.
Happy Saturday, y’all! We’re enjoying a little warm weather before another snow storm rolls in. Fingers crossed that the Colorado weather peeps are wrong and…we can get to town for a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday! 😳
Now – I told you I had Wayne send me a care package – and he did. But…I totally forgot to have him put any…uhm…STAMP SETS into the box! What the heck, Mary!? Fortunately – I did ALSO order two kits from Stampin’ Up! And so…tapping into my amazing and awesome ingenuity (I WAS A Girl Scout, after all!) – I combined a panel from the new Nature’s Paintings kit and a card base and envelope (and sentiment!!!) from the Alpine Air kit! Take a look-see:
Happy Friday, y’all! Hope you’ve got a good weekend ahead – maybe you’re doing some grocery shopping and cooking prep for Thanksgiving! Enjoy that!
I do have a quick Public Service Announcement from the CCPO (Chief, Catalog Packing Operations):
Okay, you guys – I’m losing my brain! I started this blog post last night with “Happy happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope you’re having a great week!”. And then I thought…wait. I wrote that YESTERDAY. So THEN I started worrying that I’d wished y’all a Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day on Tuesday. So – I double checked. I hadn’t messed up – yesterday WAS Wednesday. Today, however…is not! It’s Thursday! Sheesh. How quickly the brain loses track when the routine is upended, huh?!? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Regardless of what day of the week it is. Or isn’t. Today’s another big Doorbuster Day from Stamp-N-Storage!
Y’all – here’s Day TWO of the Three Days of Doorbusters at Stamp-N-Storage!
Happy Happy Hawwwwmp Day, y’all! The week is almost over! Just think – NEXT Hawmp Day the work week WILL be over! Whoo-hoo!
Although I’m still here in Colorado – doing a Paper Pumpkin kit was a great way to do a little sumpin’ sumpin’ creative. Without needing ALL my crafting goodies from home! And I was really tickled with the extreme cuteness of the November Filled With Joy kit!
I love card kits but…these eight adorable little Christmas stocking treat holders are going to be pretty handy here in a few weeks!
Y’all – we’ve gotten word that Stamp-N-Storage is ADDING THREE NEW One-Day-Only Doorbuster sales! There’s a NEW set of goodies on each of the next three days and the FIRST one is…TODAY!
Good morning and happy Tuesday-from-Colorado! Guess what today is?! Nope – you won’t guess (UNLESS you’re a demonstrator – THEN you might guess!). It’s…PRE-ORDER Day for the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog! Whoo-hoo!! I’m so excited – and I just can’t hide it!!
And – not for nuthin’ – did you know that if YOU joined right now – you could put new catalog goodies in your Starter Kit?! YES – it’s true! And it ships for free! And – once you’ve DONE that – you can get busy AGAIN and get the rest of your list with that shiny new 20% Demonstrator Discount! AND – you’d be a Critter (that’s what we call ourselves – the members of the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew)! BOOM! 😎
Now. Y’all know I’m in Colorado and will be here until…I just don’t know when. So – for the next little while, you’re going to see cards that I didn’t actually make. I’m going to share cards from our retreat – including the how-to’s. And – for today – I have a card that my friend Judy Hartbarger – and fellow Critter!! – made SPECIFICALLY so I’d have a card to share with you.
How. Cool. Is. That?! Thank you, my friend!
The gorgeous card she made is a front-flap fun fold card using Regal Winter DSP and some Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder! A sentiment from Unbounded Love turned it into a birthday card! Take a look-see:
Good morning and also? Happy Happy Hawwwmp DAY!! Whoo-hoo!! I hope your week is going well!
Every month, Stampin’ Up! releases TWO new All Inclusive Kits – which is awesome! And – the kits just seem to get better and better every month!
June is no exception and – I put ONE of the kits – the Expressions of Kindness Kit – together for you! Well – AND for me! Cuz – might I say? It. Is. STUNNING!
This is a Card Kit – everything you need to assemble EIGHT beautiful cards (with MATCHING decorated envelopes!) is in the box when you open it up!
