Stampin’ Up! A Little Something Pillow Box Note Card Holder!

Welcome, y’all!  Happy Saturday – hope you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend and the weather to let you do it!  I think we’re going to make a trip to Costco, and I hope we’re going to go see Mr. Matt Damon in The Martian.  I read that book last week – I had to ration myself so it would last…very fast read and I was having fun with it, so I wanted to sit down and devour it, but I also wanted it to LAST!!  A conundrum to be sure.  Anyway – it’s excellent and if you get a chance to read it, I highly recommend that you do! 🙂

For today’s share, I have a note card holder for you.  We made a version of this at the World Card Making Day last weekend.  This is what we made….

A Little Something Note Card Holder - Stamps-N-Lingers

Cute, huh?  Well, I wanted to make a more Christmas-y one, and I wanted it embossed.  With my fave TIEF – the wonderful Woodland!  I put a tutorial over on my Tutorials Page, so head over and see the detailed instructions for making one of these little guys!  If you haven’t been over there, I’ve posted quite a few projects for you to take a look at.

Today’s note card holder uses, as I mentioned, the Woodland TIEF, the stamp set called A Little Something, some Home for the Holidays DSP and a few other little goodies.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves And Many More Send Get Well Wishes!

Good Friday morning!  I hope that y’all had a great time checking out all the wonderful projects that the Happy Stampers brought you yesterday – I sure do appreciate everyone who stopped by here at Stamps-N-Lingers! 🙂

For today, I have a share that’s so in my wheelhouse that I might have made it.

Oh wait.

I DID make it!

A good friend of mine had surgery yesterday – kind of “big deal” surgery – and I wanted to make a Get Well card for him.  He’s not a fisherman, so my By the Tide set wasn’t really the right fit.  I decided to go back to a new, old standby.  Vintage Leaves and the matching Leaflets (I know I don’t have to mention the bundle savings….).  And the Woodland TIEF!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Hearth and Home for Christmas Make For a Fun Blog Hop!

Happy Stampers Blog Hop Banner

Welcome to the Happy Stampers Christmas in September Blog Hop!  I don’t know if you’ve arrived here directly or if you came from Sandi’s site, but I’m glad you’re here.  Hopefully you’ll enjoy all the offerings we have for you today!

So – for my part of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop this month, I did a super fun DOUBLE Gate Fold Card! What?!? DOUBLE GATE?!? Yep. That’s what I said. DOUBLE. GATE. (not to be confused with WATER. GATE.) Technically, it’s a Double Fold Gate Card but that wouldn’t have worked with my Watergate joke, so…..

I saw a tutorial on line for doing this kind of card, so I took the basic steps and made it work for what I wanted today!

I used some Hearth & Home Thinlits….a little bit of Home for Christmas DSP…..threw in a great sentiment from Versatile Christmas….and….well, take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wishes Thank You Cards

My card share for you today is super SUPER easy!  It uses but one stamp set – the wondrous Water Color Wishes.  And you can make it with a pack of Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes and some of your leftover Holiday papers.  Or any Designer Paper for that matter!

I saw this design over on Mary Fish’s website, she’d CASE’d it from another website, so it’s going around!  Mary did hers with some of the In Colors Designer Specialty Paper – all the circles were the same color, just a different pattern – and used Cottage Greetings for the stamp set.  And I loved her card so much that I immediately wanted to CASE it.  I decided to go in a holiday direction with a little more diversity in the patterns and colors.  This design will let you use any paper you like!

Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Six Sayings Boo!

Today’s card is quick and pretty durned easy!  As we enjoy the Fall weather here in GA, it’s easy to think of little ghosties and goblins demanding tricks or treats.  Of course, we don’t actually GET any trick-or-treaters where we live….but that doesn’t keep me from stocking up on “treats”.  You know – just in case!! 😉

So I dug out some Happy Haunting DSP, a Spider-web Doily and the FaBOOlous sentiment from the Hostess stamp set called Six Sayings! And this is what I came up with.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Joyful Season and Vintage Leaves on an XL Pillow Box!

Good Sunday morning to you all!  We’re getting a little taste of Fall here in the A-T-L.  We slept with the windows open last night – first time this season and it was wondrous!  Hopefully we’ll get an actual “Fall” this year – fingers crossed!

I have a share today that combines quite a few of the wonderful new products in the 2015 Holiday Catalog.  I wanted to try the new Square Pillow Box Thinlits – but I wanted to do a large one like we’d done at our Amy’s Inkin’ Krew meeting a few weeks back. And, in the catalog, they’ve got a sample Pillow Box in which they’ve incorporated one of my favorite new things – the Woodland TIEF.  So, it was kind of a shoe-in, really!  Add in some embellishments with Vintage Leaves and Leaflets Framelits, and a sprinkling of Joyful Season….and, well…take a look-see:

Expressions Natural Elements Puttin’ on the Glitz!

A hundred years ago or so, when I was in California…or, wait.  Maybe it was only a couple of months!  Time sure does fly by, yes?  Anyway, while I was in CA, I made a cool little flower embellishment (check out my Tutorials page to see how to make your own customized fancy flower! ), that I fully intended to use on whatever card I was making at the time.  Only, I couldn’t make it work on it for anything.  So, I stuck the little flower into my little bag o’ scraps (perhaps I’ve mentioned that I have both Scots AND pack-rat-itis in my blood?!?) to save for another card.

Fast forward to today.  When I saw the Mojo Monday sketch from which this card share is derived – I saw “flower”.  And then I thought – hey!  I can use the little CA flower.  Here’s the sketch:

I was also still playing with the challenge from our upline to use the color purple in our projects for the week.  And, on Pinterest, I saw a card that paired Wisteria Wonder with the new Mint Macaron, and I’d loved that combo.  So I combined the three ideas (if you’re counting that’s the Mojo Monday sketch, the purple challenge, and the Pinterest idea) and came up with this card.  Take a look-see:
