I decided to play with some of the wonderful – and retiring! – True Gentleman DSP.  And I combined it with a fun new stamp set from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog called Big Wishes.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! True Gentleman in Plaid

Good Monday, y’all!  It’s the Monday after OnStage – and…wow!  What a weekend it was!  Lots of surprises and fun give-aways!  Saw lots of demonstrator friends-from-afar!  Totally wonderful – and…whew!  I’m tired!  And already excited for Orlando in November!

If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video, I sure do appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to take a look, here’s the YouTube link.

One of the nicest Suites in the Occasions catalog is the Truly Tailored suite of products  – they’re just perfect for making masculine cards!  Which is exactly what I did with this card today.  I used the Truly Tailored stamp set for the sentiments and the handsome plaid in the True Gentleman DSP.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! True Gentleman Video Sneak Peek

Wow, y’all!  I can’t believe another OnStage Local is in the books!  One second…I’m leavin’-in-a-mini-van and the next?  Headed back to the house!

The event was wonderful and the new catalog lives up to all our expectations!

And speaking of expectations, let me let you in on what’s going to happen in the next few days, okay?

Tomorrow afternoon – after 3pm Eastern, we’ll get together on FB for a few minutes to go over the goodies that I got at CenterStage and OnStage.  A couple of stamp sets and a few other things.  And I’ll probably do a quick post with pictures of the new items and the display boards.

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge today – and it’s a nice clean design! – so be sure to check out all the ladies’ projects when you’re done here, won’t you?  

I decided to ink up a new-to-me stamp set – called In The Trees – and give it a hand with some True Gentleman DSP.  I ended up with a birthday card that I think could go to a man or a woman.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! True Gentleman Hedgehugs

Good morning, y’all!  I think it’s Hawwmp day…right??  Which means it’s practically the weekend which means it’s practically a three-day weekend!  Thank you, thank you, Mr. King!  A friend of mine and I decided via e-mail yesterday that there’s a looooong time between holidays at this time of year, unless you get MLK day and President’s Day off.  So…hunker down, y’all – and get ready for some 5-day weeks!

My card for today uses the fun new set called Hedgehugs in the new catalog.  I paired it with some True Gentleman DSP and a few other little goodies.  Take a look-see:

The layout is from this week’s Global Design Project CASE the Designer challenge. Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Stamps-N-Lingers 2018 Sale-a-Bration Kick-off Ordering Special with True Gentleman!

Well, y’all!  It’s finally here!  SALE-A-BRATION has arrived – finally!!  Sale-A-Bration is awesome for lots of reasons!  Oh – and, just to bump-up-the-awesome…how’s about Double Peppermint Points?!?  We’ll run that for a week – for orders over $50!  Which will, of course, also get you a Sale-A-Bration goody!  And…I’ll even do Double Peppermints on my Special Bundles.  All the deets are down below!

But – for a second, take a look at my card for today – no longer a “sneak peek” – the sneaking is over!  I made a great “guy” card using the wonderful new True Gentleman suite of goodies.  Including the amazingly gorgeous True Gentleman DSP.  Take a look-see:

The layout for the pattern-filled card came from the December Viva La Verve sketch challenge.

Much of this card is made by simply Fast Fuse-ing DSP to Crushed Curry card stock – so pretty easy peasy!

I adhered some True Gentleman DSP (isn’t that blue plaid gorgeous?!?!) to Crushed Curry for the card front.  The next layer is a strip of Crumb Cake with Crumb Cake bow-ties from the Truly Tailored stamp set.  I stamped the image a few times without re-inking, and repeated that several times.  I matted it on Crushed Curry and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a length of the Night of Navy 3/8″ Corduroy Ribbon around the panel, securing it in the back.  For the next layer, I added a little more True Gentleman DSP matted on Crushed Curry and adhered with Liquid Glue.  

I hemmed and hawed for a bit on what to do for the circle element – and finally decided on some Wood Textures DSP.  Both circles are cut with the Circles Layering Framelits – adhered together with Liquid Glue and then adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue.

I made the sentiment by coloring parts of the image from Truly Tailored with my Tranquil Tide and Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Markers and stamping it on Very Vanilla.  Then I punched it out with the matching Tailored Tag Punch and popped it on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Remember the Bow Builder Punch?  Page 207 in the Annual Catalog, in case you’d forgotten!  

I thought it would be perfectly perfect for this card, so I pulled it out and created a tidy and tailored and – dare I say…Classy!?! – bow tie with yet another pattern of paper in the True Gentleman DSP.  I used a short length of Night of Navy 3/8″ Corduroy Ribbon to wrap around the middle of the bow.

 

I stuck the little bow on with Liquid Glue and a Stampin’ Dimensional and the card front was done!

On the inside, I inked up a second sentiment from Truly Tailored with my Tranquil Tide and Night of Navy Markers and, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, stamped it in the middle of a Very Vanilla panel.  Then I colored the little bow tie – same two Markers – and stamped it under the sentiment.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Crushed Curry mat and into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got two more bow ties – colored with the Tranquil Tide and Night of Navy Markers – on the front…

…and I added some more of the plaid True Gentleman DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I love this Suite, y’all!  The paper in particular just hits all the right notes for me – and the sentiments and small images in Truly Tailored are really going to be perfect for the “gentleman” in your life!  I hope you like!

It just so happens that True Gentleman is one of the Special Ordering Bundles I have available right now – you can get it in Clear or Wood!  Click here to see all the bundles and get yours ordered!

For most of my childhood, we had a Basset Hound.

A Basset Hound, let there be no doubt, can look pretty danged pitiful.

It’s the eyes.  They use them like a boss.

I didn’t think I had to worry about Puppy-Pity-Parties with an Aussie.

I was so wrong.

I give you…THE Boss.

This was two days ago – when it was only down to 30.  So pretty darned hot.

He refused to come in. No matter how many times I invited/cajoled/enticed/bribed/begged/half-heartedly demanded…Nope.

Now, before you go call Animal Control to report Animal Abuse (two days in a row…) take a look-see:

Thirty is okay.  At thirty degrees- the “suit up” actually works.  Mostly.  So I went out and we played keep away for a while.

Then we went for a walk.

With our stick.

Just walkin’ with my Mom.  And my stick!

Pity to Party in less than a heartbeat! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Southern Serenade Sneak Peek Thank You card

Happy Christmas Eve, y’all!  

I suppose, by rights, I should have brought you a Christmas card today.

But I didn’t!  Sorry!  

And this isn’t a video Sneak Peek – I’m taking tonight off – and so should you! 🙂

Instead – I have a sneak peek of another new stamp set coming soon to a 2018 Occasions Catalog near you!  It’s called Southern Serenade and it’s lovely!  I used it this time with some paper from the True Gentleman DSP to make a thank you card.  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is courtesy of this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started with yet another gorgeous paper from the True Gentleman DSP (which you can get on 3 Jan – or get a taste of this and all the papers with a Catalog Share).  I matted it on Crushed Curry with Fast Fuse to make the card front.  Then I ran another strip of Crushed Curry down the card front.  Over that I layered a length of Night of Navy 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding, securing it in the back with scotch tape.

My art piece, from the new Southern Serenade stamp set (available 3 Jan), is stamped in Crumb Cake on a piece of Shimmery White card stock and colored with Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Old Olive.  Then I matted it on Crushed Curry and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

My sentiment, which is also from Southern Serenade, is stamped in Night of Navy on Shimmery White and cut out with the new 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (avail 3 Jan).  I edged it with my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker and then added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.  I used the Dimensionals to wind some loops of Gold Metallic Thread to the back of the sentiment, then I popped it onto the card front.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels completed the front of the card!

On the inside, I stamped some of the small flowers from Southern Serenade in Crumb Cake up the side of a Shimmery White panel and colored them with the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Crushed Curry mat and into my Night of Navy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.  

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got some more of the Southern Serenade flowers up the side…

…and a little more True Gentleman DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I love this True Gentleman DSP – so versatile and gorgeous in Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Crumb Cake as the primary colors.  And Southern Serenade is beautiful – the flowers, a wonderful lace image and lovely fonts.  Hope you like and are adding these to your lists!

My next club will start up on 3 Jan (coincidently with the arrival of the 2018 Occasions Catalog and the start of Sale-A-Bration!) and I have a few openings available.

How does it work?  Well – at a glance…

  • Place a $25.00 minimum order each month
  • Place your order by the 20th of each month
  • Use the Host code I’ll provide in an email sent out at the beginning of each month

And what do you get in return?

  • Based on a random draw, you’ll be the “host” for one of the six months
  • In your month, you’ll be guaranteed a workshop total of $150 – meaning no less than $15 in Stampin’ Rewards for you to spend!
  • In your Host month, your order ships FREE!
  • When you place a host club order – which you’ll do each month – you’ll get DOUBLE peppermints for that order!  So – if all you did was place your $25 order for the six months, you’d end up with 12 Peppermints.  Most folks end up with all 16 (and then some) – and earn a free $40 gift!
  • At the end of the club, you’ll get to choose a free stamp set up to $20!

Finn Fan Fix  

The only part of Miss Sonya’s weekly visit that the Man doesn’t care for is…the vacuum.

He attempts to avoid it if possible – retreating to the bedroom as she works her way forward in the house.

And he keeps an eagle eye – stationing himself at the door to the bedroom so he can watch the hallway just in case any rogue vacuum approaches.

And he doesn’t know why – WHY, MOM, WHY?!?! – I keep taking his picture!  I think he’s starting to get a complex!

I can’t help it very much – he’s too danged cute to not capture on “film”!
