Morning, y’all! How goes your week? Ours is moving along apace – we’re watching the impending arrival of AUGUST! Can you even believe that??
August will bring a couple of things Stampin’ Up!-wise….
First – on 3 Aug – your chance to EARN Bonus Days coupons will come to an end! Then the next day, on the 4th, you can start SPENDING those Bonus Days coupons! Whoo-hoo!
And – on 4 August – the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog will be LIVE for you to order from! Yeah!! I know you’re excited and I’m excited FOR you! How handy that the catalog is ready to roll right when you’ve got Bonus Days coupons to use! 😉 Remember the more you spend between now and 3 Aug – the more you’ll SAVE in August!
With all that lead in – you MIGHT think I’ve got another sneak peek from the new catty for you today. But…nope. I’ve got a super quick and easy #simplestamping project for you! It’s actually kind of a two-parter. First, I made a cool (and QUICK!) set of ten notecards and envelopes using the Flowers for Every Season Cards and More set, plus the Four Season Floral stamp set from the 2020 Beginner Brochure! Take a look-see:
Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend and are ready to face the week!
So – I decided to switch gears a little and give y’all a sneak peek of a new suite in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog geared towards Halloween! It’s called the Magic in This Night suite and it’s fun, you guys! I used the Hallows Night bundle and some spooky-elegant paper from the Magic in This Night DSP. Not to mention the cool Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder. Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a sketch challenge from Anne-Marie. I know it’ll give your creative mojo a bump, so I hope you’ll come and play along with us! 🙂
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!
Good Morning, y’all! Happy weekend to you! Hope you’ve got something planned. And hoping that whatever it is is fun!
We have plans to re-introduce the Finn-man to the joys of…a shampoo and blow out.
Which I would like myself!!
But – HE gets it instead. Got to get some of that hair and that….aroma?…off!! Going to do it in the barn – versus taking him to Puppy Tubs. Might regret that decision…. 😉
Tonight – after the spa day – I’ll be going live at 7pm Eastern on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. I’ve got a fun card – well, I think it’s fun! – for you using a returning favorite stamp set and die! Take a sneaky peek.
It’s a good one that’s right in the middle of my wheelhouse so…that’s a pretty good hint for you!
Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! Today’s a sketch 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!
Do you guys like kits? Product medleys? No? Well – I’ve got a product medley for you today – called Boho Indigo – that’s destined to change your mind! Infused with blues and vanillas – it is simply stunning. I used it for my card for you today! Take a look-see:
Got to keep as much normalcy as we can, right? So we need to keep up with our traditions! 😉
My card today is another sneak peek of the new Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog – which is less than 10 days away from going live! This one uses the new Joy Dies for a sentiment and the Cherish the Season bundle with the pretty Sounds of the Season Dies. And – some of the wunnermus ‘Tis The Season DSP. Take a look-see:
Happy Monday, y’all! Sorry to start the week with an oxymoron! 😉
I made a fun Congratulations card for you guys today using the Many Mates (yes – a most-awesome sentiment stamp set!), Whale Done and the Whale of a Time DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from the Mojo Monday sketch challenge.
I started with a piece of the wunnermus Whale of a Time DSP that I matted on Calypso Coral for the card front.
Next, I embossed a Whisper White panel in the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder, matted it on Calypso Coral, and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
The horizontal element is another piece of the Whale Done DSP, matted on Calypso Coral and adhered with Liquid Glue.
For the sentiment, I cut a third design of the DSP with the largest square Stitched Shapes Die. In the corner, in Calypso Coral ink, I added a Many Mates sentiment. Then I popped the square onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I fussy cut three turtles from one of the DSP designs and adhered the two smaller ones to the sentiment square with Liquid Glue (and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to support some of the parts hanging over the edge…). The bottom turtle is popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
I used little dabs of Liquid Glue to adhere a few Whale of a Time Sequins and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second Many Mates sentiment in Calypso Coral to a Whisper White panel. Then I stamped the turtle from Whale Done across the bottom of the panel in Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Blackberry Bliss. I added some Pool Party bubbles. 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Calypso Coral mat and into my Pacific Point card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Whale Done turtles and bubbles across the front…
…and a little more of the Whale of a Time DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! I love the gorgeous images in the Whale of a Time DSP, don’t you? And fussy cutting the turtles really turned out cute, I think.
Also handy that there’s that cute turtle image in the Whale Done stamp set – making it easy to carry the theme into the inside and onto the envelope! Many Mates lends the perfect sentiments to the whole thing! 🙂
I hope you like!

We got hay the other day.
You knew that cuz I toldja.
Thought you might like a picture or two of the process.
Once we get the hay home – the real hot and dusty work begins.
Thankfully, Wayne does most of the hard stuff – with the help of the big tractor – complete with A/C and a radio!
Get it off the trailer….
\
Drop it on the ground to get it up on end and then carry it to the barn.
Then he stacks it in – using that giant tractor like a precision instrument!
Finn – in the meantime – is helping me supervise from the golf cart. Which has NEITHER A/C nor radio!
Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – it’s a clean-and-simple theme challenge from Jaydee. Our theme is CELEBRATION! – which is appropriate since this is The Paper Player’s 500th Challenge!! Whoo-hoo!! I hope you’ll come and play along to help us celebrate! 🙂
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!
I picked birthday celebration for my theme – and pulled from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set for my big bold focal sentiment. I added it atop some relatively subtle plaid from the new Plaid Tidings DSP – coming on 4 Aug in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog!! Take a look-see:
I also pulled a little help for the layout of the smaller “card” on the front of my fun-fold from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
This is a SUPER easy fun fold, y’all! It probably looks familiar – cuz I did a similar fold not too long ago, using the Forever Fern Bundle!
For this one, I started with a piece of gorgeous plaid paper from the Plaid Tidings DSP pack that I matted on Misty Moonlight and then adhered to my Bumble Bee card base with Liquid Glue.
I cut a smaller piece of the same plaid and matted it on Misty Moonlight – to make the card front for the small card.
I placed a piece of Whisper White into my Stamparatus and, using the Marker-to-Rubber technique, stamped the Happiest of Birthdays sentiment. I colored the large letters with my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker and used the Pretty Peacock Marker for the small letters.
I used a Stitched Rectangle Die that was the right width – but too long – to cut the sentiment. I made it smaller by running the cut thru my die cutting machine a second time. The video shows how to do that – way easier than words would do! You can scroll thru to about the 14 minute mark! 🙂
I used Liquid Glue to adhere a small strip of Bumble Bee plaid from Plaid Tidings to the bottom of the sentiment, then popped the whole thing onto the small card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a single Bumble Bee 2020-2021 In Color Enamel Dot – and the small card front was done.
For the inside, I matted another strip of the Bumble Bee Plaid Tidings DSP on Misty Moonlight and then adhered it to a Whisper White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and into the small Bumble Bee card base – then I adhered that whole little card to the larger card base – offset to the left – with Liquid Glue – and the fun-fold card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another fun sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays on the front – in Pretty Peacock ink…
…and more of the blue-toned Plaid Tidings DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Happiest of Birthdays stamp set is perfect for clean-and-simple cards – the big bold sentiments really do all the work! It’s also handy to have a cute sentiment for those SO FEW times you MIGHT be a little-bit-late with a card! 😉
And – Stampin’ Up! heard us when we asked for MORE PLAID!! The new Plaid Tidings DSP is gorgeous!!
I hope you like!

Stickers?
No…I mean…I do remember some weeds that I MIGHT have run thru in my search for the perfect spot for…err….you know…
We’ve got a few errands – all masked up, thank you very much. And then this afternoon, if we can beat the rain, it’s time to get a load of hay for the ladies! Getting hay in when it’s a million degrees with the same humidity? Oh yes – horse ownership is a glamorous life, indeed! 😉 But – the sense of well being that comes from a barn full to the rafters with round bales of good horse hay…can’t be beat for a horse owner. So – we’ll get it done.
Thank GOODNESS for heavy equipment. That’s all I have to say about that! 🙂
Now this evening, after all that is done – and hopefully after a shower – 😳😳😳 – I’m planning to go live at 7pm eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page. I’ve got a fun project for you using the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set….take a sneaky peek!
Okay – it’s a fun fold. You wore me down! 😉

On Friday – we took a big excursion to the bank to cash a check.
It’s about 5 miles round trip. And that includes the 1/3 mile of driveway!!
But – when asked, Finn enthusiastically agreed that a quick trip to the bank was just the thing for a too-hot-for-furry-dogs Friday.
So…we all piled into the van and headed out.
Why did he want to go?
Well – any ride – any time – anywhere is sort of his motto.
Also? The teller ALWAYS passes a milk bone for him.
Any bone – any time – anywhere.
See a pattern?
We left the window down some for him on the way home.
He likes that a lot!
If you look close in this next one – you can see his lips blowing in the breeze.
Happy Friday, y’all! It’s been a busy time here for us – Wayne’s been working outside, sawing lumber and repairing fences. Mowing the never-ending grass. We’ve worked in the garden – you can see a little of the “fruits” of our labors in Finn’s spot below. And, of course, it’s been hot and muggy and generally….the South-in-Summer!
Which is why, with all my Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog pre-order goodies looking me in the face, I’ve been making some winter-ish cards. As I predicted when I was griping about being cold a few months ago…now? Yep. Griping about being hot. My 4 degree comfort-zone-window is being breached at every turn! LOL!
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! 🙂
This is a really cool fun-fold, it’s called a Dutch-Door Gate Fold and I think you’ll see why in a sec. I used the beautiful new Sweetest Time stamp set with the amazing and bundled Sweetest Borders Dies. Take a look-see:
Yes – if you’re looking closely – you’ll see that this card looks different from the card in the video thumbnail. There’s a reason for that – and you’ll need to watch the video to find out what it is! 🙂
For this one, I started by scoring, cutting and folding a 7 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Real Red card stock as shown in the video – and according to this template…
Once I had it all cut and folded, I decorated the gates with some pretty, new Plush Poinsettia Specialty DSP matted on Mossy Meadow. I used Glue Dots – hidden behind the flocked images on the DSP – to adhere it to the mats and then used Liquid Glue to adhere the panels to the fronts of the gates.
Pretty, huh? 🙂
I stamped the three-candle image from Sweetest Time in Real Red on Whisper White and fussy cut it, then popped it onto a Whisper White panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Daffodil Delight “flame” above each candle with the little stamp in the set.
Using the dies in the Sweetest Borders Dies, I cut a bunch of holly leaves and pine boughs in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. I also stamped berries in Real Red and cut them out as well.
I added the leaves and boughs around the candles with Liquid Glue. I tied a bow with the Gold Trim from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot. Finally, I adhered the berries with Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Whisper White, I stamped the Sweetest Time sentiment in Mossy Meadow, snipped banner ends and adhered it with Liquid Glue – and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional on each end. I used more Liquid Glue to mat the panel on Mossy Meadow and adhere it to the top panel of the card base – and the front of the gate card was done!
On the inside, I added a second Sweetest Time sentiment in Mossy Meadow to a Whisper White panel. Under it, I stamped Real Red candles and Daffodil Delight flames, as well as a couple of Pear Pizzazz holly leaves.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into the card base – and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another candle and holly leaves on the front…
…and added the candles to the envelope flap, as well!
Et Voila! This Sweetest Time stamp set – and its bundled (and AWESOME!) Sweetest Borders Dies – is a great bundle to have in your kit bag as we get ready to head into the holiday season.
And don’t miss the gorgeous Plush Poinsettia Specialty DSP (you can get a taste of it in my Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog Shares!)…
Hint: you can actually cut those flocked poinsettia flowers with one of the dies in the new Poinsettia Dies set! Cool, huh?
I hope you like and are adding these goodies to your gotta-have-it-right-away list! The catalog goes live on 4 Aug for customers or… you could join Stampin’ Up! with me right now and select any or all of these new goodies to fill your Starter Kit and then get at least 20% off EVERYTHING you buy for as long as you stay active! 😉

P.S. This is the card in the video thumbnail! It’s a CASE of the sample card on page 21 in the Aug – Dec 2020 Mini Catalog and it uses the fun edgelit die with the holly leaves and pine boughs. I explain in the video how to make it if you prefer this version! Yup – it’s a two-fer. Sort of! 😉

Finn Fan Fix
Finn asked me to share a little garden bounty with you.
So here it is – our first Mater Sandwich tomato of the season (which – fun fact – is on a plant that I’d pretty much given up for dead 5 weeks ago!!)
These pictures are about 2 days apart!
Big and starting to get a little blush…
A little more…
…and almost Wonder-Bread-and-mayonnaise ready!
I’m trying to decide…mater sandwich on white bread/mayo/salt/pepper? Or…big slab of mater on half of an Everything Bagel – salt/pepper/slice of cheese on top – under the broiler for a little toast!?!
