Stampin’ Up! Deer Wonderland!

Posted on December 14, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Today’s share is a card that we all need right now – with Christmas fast approaching, and Monday work – something quick and easy! If you’ve got Wonderland and Sassy Salutations (or any other Christmas sentiment set), you can probably knock out a stack of 10 of these in about 20 minutes. Maybe less! Take a look-see:

I’d seen this uber-cute design on Pinterest, and thought – “Self, that’s just too cute – and what a great way to use that sort of odd antler stamp in the Wonderland stamp set!” But, what I saw was a single layer card – and those kind of terrify me. Especially when they’re on a white card. For me, that’s like a brand new t-shirt. Just point where you’d like me to drop something (or, to bring it back to cards – where would you like me to fat finger a smudge!!?). And, I just kind of like layers. 😉

Here we are – 15 days till Christmas (just a little public service announcement!) and the Happy Stamper Ladies-Who-Hop are bringing you another wonderful assortment of card crafting goodness! And – if that number didn’t make it all really real – then consider that, after today, there’s one more Happy Stamper Hop. And then the one after that will be ON Christmas. Real enough for ya?? I’m just sayin’ that Christmas is like..tomorrow! Yikes! 🙂 But – for today, take a moment, get a cuppa something warm and cozy and enjoy all of our creations! You’ll find links to everyone’s posts down the way a piece.

Today was a sketch challenge, and I chose to go Christmas-y, using one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday Catalog. Wonderland (sadly retiring!) just hits all the right notes for me – and adding sentiments from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits and Sassy Salutations just sends it smack over the top. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Wondrous Wonderland for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop!

Posted on November 12, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good Blog-Hop-Thursday-Morning to y’all! I hope you’re ready for some beautiful projects from all the Ladies-Who-Hop. At the end of the post are links to all the blogs – be sure to cruise thru all of them, okay?

I did want to share a quick thing that happened today. By “today” I mean Wednesday, when I’m writing this post. Which I’m writing for tomorrow. Which is technically today. See the difference? Hint – one has quotes….. 🙂

Anyway – there were multiple sightings of an unidentified object in the skies over Atlanta. The news mentioned it a few times – at least the local news did. Not sure about National. Many people saw it. Actually, my horses saw it, too. And they were scared. Scared enough to break a sweat! That’s bad.

This was a glowing ball – and it moved quite slowly. It had a trajectory that was obviously controlled – not at all random. If you stared at it – it’s image remained in your eyeballs for a while after you looked away. And it was….warm-ish. I mean, you could sort of feel heat radiating from it!

Really quite odd.

We may never know what it was. But, it was weirdly comforting – no threat at all. I hope it will be back tomorrow. 🙂

So – today’s Blog Hop is a sketch challenge. Here’s what we were working to:

When I first started thinking about what to do for this sketch, I had something completely different in my head. There was a lot of sponging involved. I didn’t do that – not even close. I used some Wonderland images and some of my favorite Home for Christmas DSP designs, and the Sleigh Ride Thinlits. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold Festival of Trees….and a Surprise Inside!

Posted on November 2, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Okay. It’s official. I. Hate. Standard. Time. Hate hate hate. That’s because I, as if I were a farmer (no – a REAL one! Not a little farm with a few horses on it!) want to go to bed as soon as it gets dark. My body says….nighty night! Which is not even handy when that happens at 5! 😉 And then it’s still dark until like freakin’ noon. Slight – very slight! – exaggeration, perhaps. But it’s pretty late when the sun finally decides to get the heck back up! In short – the day is short. The night is long. I. Hate. It.

Please don’t send flames at me if you’re one of those people who love the winter dark. If such a person even exists!

Okay – so on to my share today. I saw a fun card on Pinterest. I tracked down the creator’s blog (Fine Paper Arts) and….did some Google translation from German to English. And then did my own thing with it!

This card uses the Tree Punch and the Festival of Trees stamp set – which I bought for 15% as a bundled set! Take a look see:

Posted on October 29, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good Blog-Hop-Thursday-Morning to y’all! I hope you’re ready for some beautiful projects from all the Ladies-Who-Hop. We added a new hopper to the list for your creative enjoyment – Heather Wright-Porto is our newest addition. Be sure to check all of them out – links are below!

This week was a sketch challenge….

Pretty wide open, huh? Well, it gave me a great chance to try a little something that I saw out on Pinterest. Wonderland – one of my favorite stamp sets! – done in….Night of Navy! Not what you’d expect – but, it looks awesome, especially when paired with some Crumb Cake. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! To You and Yours Too….and a Little Versatile Christmas!

Posted on October 19, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Monday Monday…. I don’t know the rest of the words to the song, sorry! All I know is that the weekend flew by and it’s Monday again! Wow.

It’s also getting so close to the holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. 2016 will be here before we know it. Have we entered a time warp? Time is just flying by!

So, today’s share plays with a fun technique that I’ve seen around the net – Pinterest and other demo blogs. The latest I saw was a video on how to create this look – the Northern Lights Stamping Technique – from Dawn Olchefske. I watched her video and then gave it a try! I used the To You and Yours Too stamp set. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Dove of Peace and Wonderland for the Happy Stampers Team Blog Hop!

Posted on October 1, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Welcome to the first of our new Happy Stampers Weekly Blog Hops! Hope that you’ll join us each week to see what we all have to offer. We have a lot of talented folks in our group and I know that you’re going to be inspired to get crafty with every blog hop you see! 🙂

This week’s blog uses a sketch for inspiration. This is where we started:

Funny story (well, maybe funny – you be the judge. But, pretend to laugh anyway, okay? I have very delicate feelings) – I was less than prepared for this blog hop. I needed to provide a “Shortlink” for my fellow hoppers so they could get their blog posts all set up. And I had to do that early this week. Well, the way to get a shortlink is to make a blog post and save it and schedule it. Easy enough – but the TITLE of the blog post has to stay the same once you make it or the shortlink changes and then everything is chaos. I had to figure out what I was going to make, in order to come up with a title. But on Monday evening I had no clue. So, I thought about it for a while and decided I’d make something with the Dove of Peace stamp and the Wonderland stamp set. I built my title and passed my shortlink on to the other ladies.

I tried to figure out what I was going to do with those two sets and the inspiration sketch. On top of that, I wanted to incorporate pink into the card, to mark Breast Cancer Awareness and in response to our Happy Stampers challenge for October. Hmmm….

And then, I remembered Christmas growing up. My grandparents always had a silvery-flecked, sparkly white-flocked Christmas tree. And it had pink and silver ornaments and lots and lots of that deadly silver “rain” (my favorite part of the tree!!). I always loved those Christmas trees – and going with my grandfather to get that tree every year….well, that’s a pretty special memory for me.

And there it was. White. Pink. Christmas Tree. Take a look-see at how I made Wonderland and Dove of Peace and Pink work for my card!

Stampin’ Up! Versatile Christmas Meets Wonderland

Posted on September 20, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Happy Sunday – I hope that your weekend is going well! Today’s share uses two stamp sets – Versatile Christmas and Wonderland. I combined them with some Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum and Kraft Corrugated Paper, added a dash of Gold Foil and ended up with a card that has just a bit of glitz. And uses a perennial favorite for me – pine cones! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! O, Come All Ye Faithful!

Posted on August 27, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Happy Thursday! When you read this, I’ll likely be on my way back to the homestead. Yeah! The weather has been lovely here – I’m hoping it’s the same in Atlanta. Fall-weather in August. I’ll take it!

My cards have been kind of focused on the soon-to-be-available products from the 2015 Holiday Catalog. How could they not be? They’re wonderful and fun and beautiful. And new – new toys ALWAYS get all the attention, don’t they!? Today’s card is no exception, and it’s a Christmas Card using the Wonderland stamp set and All Ye Faithful. I also pulled a single element from Every Blessing. Take a look-see:
