Happy happy Hawwwwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well – I’m headed home from Huntsville today. Will be glad to get back.
My card today goes back to the pretty Tranquil Textures Suite – the Sea of Textures stamp set and the bundled Under the Sea Framelits, plus the Timeless Textures DSP. And I also borrowed from the Thankful Thoughts set to turn it into a Thank You card. Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday! Are y’all out shopping with 2.7 million of your closest friends or are you, like me, hunkered down in the relative safety of your home? I’m thankful for leftovers, but I’m pretty certain that if all I had in the house was a bottle of hot sauce I wouldn’t go out on the day after Christmas.
Nuh-huh!
So – early on Christmas morning, I got up – I have no idea why – and made some cards to share with you today. I needed them to come together quickly so I could get on with the pressing business of the day. Chiefly, preparing this…
Once again – perfect Prime Rib. Thank you, Chef John of Allrecipes!! Took this picture before anyone started on the platter – there was some left, but…not a ton! 🙂
I made 6 cards – all identical in layout with the sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, and a couple different papers from the Painted Autumn DSP. Take a look-see:
A few days ago, my friend Amy Koenders made some cards with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set and a similar layout. Which I liked so much that I picked it up and did just a little modification. You can see the cards that inspired me right here!
These were fun and quick to make, y’all – and how cute would they be as a little gift set?
I started with a card base – I used Thick Very Vanilla, Soft Sky and So Saffron – cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored and folded at 4 1/4″.
Each card has a smaller piece of the Painted Autumn DSP adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I inked the sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set in Early Espresso and, with my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, lined it up and stamped each card base.
Then I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread twice around the card base and tied a little bow. A Rhinestone Basic Jewel finished off the card fronts.
On the inside, I adhered another piece of the same Painted Autumn DSP to the inside of the card with Liquid Glue. Then I matted a piece of Very Vanilla on either Early Espresso or Cajun Craze – depending on the DSP choice – and adhered that with Fast Fuse.
And, folks, that was it for the card!
Each envelope got a matching envelope flap with the same DSP I’d used on the cards. Apparently, I’m in a food coma and didn’t take a picture of the envelope flap with the sunflowers. Trust me – they’re a real thing!
Et Voila! Easy peasy – a super quick way to use up some DSP if you’ve got extra and make some really pretty thank you cards! It IS the season for thank you cards, after all! One quick stamp with a Thankful Thoughts sentiment and some cutting and glueing and…done!
Hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
You guys know that Finn fancies himself a lap dog, right? All 65 pounds of him.
I’ve taken to sitting on the sofa so there’s more room for him – when he’s in the mood for some lap time.
It’s a big sofa, y’all – four cushions long.
Those are wasted cushions – we really only need one!
Please notice – in this too dark picture – his hind-end is on….me. Not the sofa. I’ve got his bone in my right hand holding it for him to gnaw on.
Thankfully he’s not spoiled at all – that would be a real shame!
What?!?

Happy Hawmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well – and that you’re getting all ready for Christmas!
Before we get going – two announcements…
First: don’t forget about the 2018 Occasions Catalog Shares – they’re open now and starting to fill up. Check them out and get signed up right here!
Second: I’ve got new Online Host Clubs kicking off on 3 Jan (this date should seem familiar!) and I’ve got some openings! You can scroll on down for all the details and then let me know that you want in! Sale-A-Bration is a great time to Host a workshop – and an Online Host Club gives you a completely painless way to get the benefits without any of the work! So…check it out!
Okay – here we go. I made a thank you card today – cuz Christmas and thank-you cards go hand-in-hand! This one is easy – especially since I’ve given you all the card cuts! – and will let you use some of those Christmas DSP scraps hanging around here and there. In this case, I used the Quilted Christmas DSP and a little Wood Textures DSP along with sentiments from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. Take a look-see:
I played along with the sketch at TGIF Challenges – although I didn’t go square!
I started out by Fast Fuse-ing a piece of the Wood Textures DSP to a Garden Green mat.
Then I cut four strips of Quilted Christmas DSP and matted them on Garden Green, too!
Using my highly calibrated Mark-1 Eyeball, I used Liquid Glue to carefully adhere my strips to the Wood Textures panel, getting them as evenly spaced as I could.
I stamped a nice sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set in Real Red on a piece of Whsiepr White card stock and punched it out with my 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered that to a Garden Green scalloped mat cut with the Circles Layering Framelits and then to a Silver Foil Snowflake.
I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Liquid Glue and added a Stitched Felt Embellishment with a strip of Fast Fuse. I added some silver hearts from the Metallic Enamel Shapes and it was done.
But – it wasn’t. It needed….something. So – I used a White Gel Pen to make some stitches around the Garden Green mat.
And that did it!
On the inside, I matted a piece of Whisper White card stock to another piece of Wood Textures DSP. Then I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to add a second Thankful Thoughts sentiment in Real Red. Over the top, I added a couple of “stitched” tree shapes from the Christmas Quilt stamp set in Garden Green and another silver heart Metallic Enamel Shape.
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Garden Green mat and into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
I repeated the Christmas Quilt shapes in Garden Green on the front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope…
…and I added some more of the Quilted Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! A Christmas-y non-Christmas card! We all need thank you cards at this time of year, and Thankful Thoughts lends itself perfectly – especially when paired with some Quilted Christmas DSP! Hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix
My little (or not-so-little these days!) Man is a fun guy to have on a road trip!
Mostly he sleeps…
But every once in a while, he comes to see what’s going on in the front of the truck.
And – when I get very very lucky, I can capture a doggie (that’s a dog-selfie…)…
And then, if I just keep at it, I get…
Possibly the cutest Finn-picture ever!! Seriously – look at that face!! 🙂

M
Mornin’, y’all! Welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! This month, our theme is “Father’s Day or Masculine”. I’m looking forward to seeing what all our talented ladies come up with – and hope you’ll spend some time exploring the hop when you’re done here!
I opted for a thank you card for our dog-trainer friend who helped me out with Finn last week! He came over and essentially did almost 2 hours of private lesson/training with us, and then wouldn’t let us pay him a dime. So…I figured a good handmade card – with an outdoorsy theme – would be just the thing. I used some Lovely as a Tree images, with a little Woodland TIEF and Thankful Thoughts sentiments, on top of some new Wood Textures DSP. Take a look-see:
I started with a piece of the new (coming on 1 June) Wood Textures DSP and matted it on Crushed Curry for the card front. The middle panel is Very Vanilla and I stamped the pine tree from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set in Always Artichoke. I stamped it once and then again without re-inking, then inked up again for the third image. Then I sponged the edges of the panel with some more Always Artichoke.
I SNAILd it to a Crushed Curry mat and then onto the card front.
For the small square, I ran a little square of Copper Foil thru the Big Shot in the Woodland TIEF, matted it on Crushed Curry and then SNAILd it to the card front.
For a little bit of oomph, I wrapped a piece of the new 1/4″ Copper Trim (1 June) around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.
I stamped a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts set in Always Artichoke on a strip of Very Vanilla card stock. I made banner ends with my Paper Snips, edged it with my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker and popped it on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish off the card front, I tied a bow with two lengths of 1/4″ Copper Trim and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
The inside of the card started with a Very Vanilla panel. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I stamped another Lovely as a Tree pine in Always Artichoke. I stamped it off three times before stamping my panel. Then I added a second Thankful Thoughts sentiment in Always Artichoke, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position it where I needed it.
I SNAILd the panel onto a Crushed Curry mat and into my Always Artichoke card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a couple more Lovely as a Tree pines – I stamped it twice without re-inking, and then added some “ground” with my Always Artichoke Stampin’ Write Marker…
…and then I added a little more of the Wood Textures DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I think this will be perfect for a man who spends most of his life in the great outdoors with his dogs, don’t you? And – I think it shows yet another way that the Wood Textures DSP is going to be a wild crowd favorite this SU! year!! Hope you like!

Finn-Fan Fix…will be back tomorrow! No FFF’s on Blog Hop Days! 🙂
Hey, y’all – hope you’re already up and at ’em on your Sunday! And that the weather is good where you are! If you’re shoveling snow this morning…I’m sorry! We got a chill overnight – yesterday I headed out to feed the horses in a t-shirt, this morning it’s back to long sleeves and a hoodie! But still – we don’t have the white stuff, so….it’s all good!
My card today is a sort of shabby-chic, vintage-y thank you card, using a couple of sentiments from Thankful Thoughts and the pretty flowers in the Sale-A-Bration Avant Garden set. Take a look-see:
Happy Saturday, y’all! Hope that your weekend is starting off well – we’ve got some rain and thunder boomers expected today. So that’ll be fun… But it’s still in the low 70’s, so I’m not complaining.
Much.
I’ve managed to catch a cold from Wayne (we share everything, apparently!). So, we didn’t do much yesterday – except watch the Inauguration. And let Finn out to play in the pond. We didn’t tell him to play in the pond (he probably would not have if we’d tried!). He’s becoming quite the pond aficionado….
I don’t know if y’all are out on Pinterest, but if you are, I know you’ve seen the beautiful flowers folks are making with the new Succulent Framelits. I’ve been wanting to try one of my own, so that’s what I did today, using the Oh So Succulent bundle (10% off plus my 25% Demonstrator discount? Yes, please!). To my Succulent, I added a little Falling in Love DSP, a smidge of Flourish Thinlits, and just a hint of Thankful Thoughts. Take a look-see:
Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! It’s the middle of a four-day week. My favorite kind.
So. Water. Finn. It’s inevitable.
Really just a matter of time. Of course, me tossing his bumper toy in the pond the other day….can I help it if it’s bright green and it floats!?! An odd coincidence that I’d have purchased a floating bumper….
LOL! That weird front leg is just a regular leg…sopping wet!! He had fun once he realized he could grab the bumper right out of the water!!
And a bath (with soap!) will be next…. 😉
So – my card for today has about 20 different techniques in it. Okay – maybe…four? Triple-time stamping (sort of modified), spotlighting, masking and watercoloring. I used the Oh So Succulent bundle and a Thoughtful Thanks sentiment. Take a look-see:
Happy Tuesday, y’all – or should I say…happy day-before-the-Occasions-Catalog-and-Sale-A-Bration-go-live day!? Whoo-hoo! I hope you’re excited and have your shopping lists all ready to go.
So….Finn’s been a little more in the house than out these last couple days – rain rain and more rain! Which means that when he’s awake – he’s a little more….busy…than normal. Usually just playing with his toys, chewing his bones, checking out the cat bowls, trying to make friends with the cats, pulling paper towels from the trash, scooping up little bits of scrap card stock and DSP that might be on the floor, and….
No – that is not his chair. No – he’s really not supposed to be on it. And – no. I didn’t scold him. Cuz…look how cutely he’s laying!?? With his green toy (the one that squeaks and rustles like he’s in the garbage – thanks, Jan!). He did get a little bored soon after the picture and got down.
Rainy days are really hard! 🙁
My card for today is the final sneak peek for the 2017 Occasions Catalog – as of tomorrow, you’ll be able to order any and all of the products I use! This one dove into the Urban Underground Suite – I used the Nailed It stamp set and the Build It Framelits as well as some of the Urban Underground Specialty DSP. To that, I added a couple of sentiments from Thankful Thoughts, from the Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop! We’ve got a color challenge for you today, so it’ll be fun to see what all the ladies-who-hop come up with! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects, okay?
Here’s our color scheme…
I decided to use the pretty Host exclusive set called Thankful Life and combine it with the sentiment set Thankful Thoughts. Take a look-see:
I started by SNAILing a panel from the A Little Foxy DSP Stack to a Calypso Coral mat for the card front.
The art work is a lovely flower vase from the Thankful Life stamp set – coming soon in the 2017 Occasions Catalog! I started by making the bouquet itself. This is a three step process for the flowers. For the first step/image, I used Pool Party ink. Then I came back in with the second image in full-strength Calypso Coral. Finally, the third image is done with stamped-off-once Calypso Coral. Looks like three colors – but it’s only two! Cool, huh?
Then I added a Smoky Slate vase, stamping the image full strength. To give the vase some dimension, I used the handy little curved line image – also found in Thankful Life – and added it in Smoky Slate as well. I matted the panel on Calypso Coral and popped it on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, I used one of the beautifully font-ed (maybe not a word, hyphenated or not…) sentiments from the Thankful Thoughts set in the Annual Catalog. I stamped it in Pool Party on Whisper White and made each end into a banner with my snips. Using a Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker, I edged the banner (this helps it to stand out just a little bit against an otherwise white background) and adhered it to the card with some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.
To finish the card front, I added some tiny Pearl Basic Jewels to a few flowers in the vase and a little bow tied from Calypso Coral Thick Baker’s Twine.
On the inside, I stamped a second Thankful Thoughts sentiment in Pool Party on a Whisper White panel. Across the bottom, I used the flower images from Thankful Life in Pool Party and Calypso Coral to add a stamped “border”.
I SNAILd the panel to a Calypso Coral mat and into my Smoky Slate card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the Thankful Life flowers images across the bottom in Calypso Coral and Pool Party…
…and another piece of A Little Foxy DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love this pretty flower vase in Thankful Life – and the sentiments in the Thankful Thoughts stamp set are really quite perfect. Hope you like! 🙂

Happy Friday, y’all! Two days until Christmas – hope you’re ready!
So, this morning, as Finn and I headed for the barn to feed, a motion caught my eye. I saw a brown body in the reflection of a window in the shop. I figured there was a deer so I started to look to get Finn on his leash.
At that point – he woofed his “holy crap, what’s that, MOM!!!?” woof.
I looked up to see the two Haflinger girls looking at me from the little hill behind the house.
Hmm. Wrong place for them to be! Out of the pasture – at large around the house and the barn. Mayhem and havoc wreaking surely did abound!
Got them back in their stalls, fed and happy. Returned the trash to the can that had been investigated thoroughly, if not tidily. “Tidy” is, after all, truly a function of thumbs and fingers….hooves and giant schnoozles? Not really precision instruments!
Finn was – once again – gobsmacked! (He spends a lot of time gobsmacked – it’s part of being a kid!)
Finn remained….weirded out…for a bit. Took some lap-time to calm him down. Danged ponies.
WhotheheckdotheythinktheyareanywayMOM!!?
My card today features a stamp set that I was really sad to see on the retiring list – Totally Trees. What a lovely and simple stamp set this one is! I combined it with a couple of sentiments from the Thankful Thoughts set to make a nice little thank you card. Take a look-see!
