Stampin’ Up! Sitting Here Timeless Love Anniversary

Posted on May 18, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Hey Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!! Do you know what day it is?

Well, of course you do cuz I started the post out with Hey Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!

Yes – it’s Hawmp Day! AND it’s also just about the half way point of my sojourn here in Savannah! And I’m ready! Not that I’m not enjoying my time here – the people here are fun and the food is certainly spectacular…

But – I am so looking forward to the end of the 4:30 alarm! Or…a 5:30 alarm. Or any alarm at all!! I do just fine when I wake up cuz it’s light outside. The alarm, though, has become my enemy. I’m getting downright pissy with Siri when I tell her to turn the alarm on for the next day! 😉

Waaahhhh – whine much, Mary?!?

You came for a card and that’s what I’m fixin’ to give you! Now – this card isn’t one of my quick and easy’s. Nope – this one took some time and it’s completely my fault. All was going along pretty fast – even given the masking I needed to do – and then I pulled out the Venetian Crochet Trim. And got all creative with it. But – I’m getting ahead of myself! Be warned, though – the steps are easy, but there’s a few of them so, this post may be kinda long…. 😉

This was a special request from a friend who needed a 63rd wedding anniversary card. I used the Large Number Framelits, and the new Sitting Here stamp set (she saw the last card I did with it and liked it!). Timeless Love – a current stamp set – lent me the sentiment. And I pulled out some of the pretty Affectionately Yours DSP. Take a look-see:

I started by tearing the edges off a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I also cut a heart from a piece of Very Vanilla, using the largest die in the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits. Then I tore the edges all the way around the heart. Using a tiny little bit of SNAIL, I lightly adhered the heart to the card front panel. Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Love & Affection

Posted on May 1, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Update 4 May 16: Found out this morning that my card was selected as a Pals Paper Artist Pick! Whoo-hoo! Wanted to thank the folks over at PPA for picking my card amongst all the beautiful projects submitted!

Hey, y’all! Happy Sunday!

If you’re coming over from Amy’s Blog – welcome and thanks for stopping by! Or Welcome Back – as the case may be.

So, yesterday, my friend and I went down to the historic district in Savannah. Our first stop was a restaurant called The Olde Pink House.

My friend Jan had given me the recommendation when she heard I was coming to Savannah – and thank the Lord for that! We waited just a short time, cuz my friend had made us a reservation – and we watched dish after dish being carried out to hungry customers. When we finally got to our table – in fact, the window on the second floor, just to the right of the front porch is where we sat! – we were huuuuungry! We ended up splitting three appetizers – Fried Green Tomatoes, Mac & Cheese Jalapeño Poppers and an onion stuffed with an Andouille sausage and cheese mixture and baked. They were ridiculously good – we barely kept ourselves from licking the plates! And then we both ordered Country Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and collards. Oh. My. Sweet. Lord.

I’m not a fan of boneless chicken breasts – they seem to always be dry as sawdust. But this – this was a juicy work of pure art. Melted in our mouths! Aaron – who doesn’t seem like he should be a foodie, but is! – said he was pretty sure this was the best meal he’d has in his entire life!

So – if you’re ever coming down to Savannah – skip right past The Lady and Sons (trust me on this) and head to The Olde Pink House. The house itself is gorgeous, all the tables are set up in the various rooms of the Havershams’ old and beautiful family home and the wait staff all know little tidbits of history from the house. And the food is beyond spectacular.

In fact – let me re-phrase. You need to start figuring out a reason to come to Savannah! Right now! 🙂

Okay. Card. Not food. On it…

The same friend that I had lunch with had asked me to make him an Anniversary card for his wife. I seem to get a lot of commissions when I’m out on business! 🙂 So, I came up with a card that would suit his (and her) not-so-froofy natures. I used the coming-soon Affectionately Yours DSP and Love & Affection stamp set, and combined it with Timeless Love from the current Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:

I was going for a pretty and elegant card, with not a lot of bling, but some. The copper accents in the new Affectionately Yours DSP was just the ticket, and I played that theme out by also using the new Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Continue reading →

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:
