Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Midnight Woodland Run and a Happy Stampers Blog Hop

The Happy Stamper Ladies-Who-Hop have gathered their projects to share with you this week.  We all very much appreciate that you take the time out of your pre-Holiday hair-on-fire busy-ness to browse our creative efforts.  Thanks so much!

Here’s our design inspiration – this week was a color challenge!  We were to use Night of Navy, Soft Sky and Silver.  Well – I had two out of three here in Arizona – so my share uses Pool Party instead of Soft Sky.  Bad planning, I guess! 🙁

For my card, I did something that – quite frankly – I’m ashamed to confess I hadn’t even thought about doing.  Until one of the ladies in our group made a card where she did this cool thing.  That I’m now going to kind-of-CASE.  Since I didn’t think of it my own self, I feel obligated to surrender my Official Horse Person club membership card.  I simply Can.  NOT.  Believe.  I. Didn’t. Think. Of. It. First.

Take a look-see and I think you’ll catch my drift.  And agree with my dis-barment.

Stampin’ Up! Give Thanks For All Things with Vintage Leaves and a Wonderland!

Happy Sunday!  The On-Stage Live event was a great day – we saw a lot of cool new products that I can’t wait to share with you!

Of course, I have to wait – I can’t share these things with you until tomorrow night – so….really Tuesday!  So be sure to check back during the week, when I’ll be showing you some of what we saw yesterday!

We did have fun.  Everyone got two or three free stamp sets from the new 2016 Spring Occasions catalog, which is quite awesome!  And Amy and Jari and I took a little time to pose for the camera.

Serious….

So – the first ever On-Stage Live Event is in the history books and a good time was had by all.  And I just can’t wait to get my pre-order in and get them so I can start sharing the new goodies with you! 🙂

On to the business at hand.

Today’s card looks more complicated than it really is – especially after I tell you exactly how to do it! –  so don’t be intimidated.  It uses the For All Things stamp set, the Woodland TIEF and the super Festive Flower Punch (which is still in the Weekly Deals!).  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Lovely as a Tree Thru a Window!

Good morning!  Hope you’re having a great weekend – we’re having a good one, if a wet one.  It just won’t stop raining! 🙁  It’s hurrying all the leaves off the trees – as you go along our driveway, it looks like it’s raining leaves!  I’m always sorry to see the trees naked – I love them in their Fall finery.  So – STOP raining already!! 🙂

Today’s card is inspired by a beautiful card I saw on Pinterest, created by Kittie Carraciolo.

Lovely as a Tree Thru a Window Inspiration

I changed it up a little, but keep the basic elements – the Lovely as a Tree image and the window from the Hearth and Home Thinlits.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Lighthearted Leaves for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop!

11960226_1268896359803603_8583437756952711798_n

Good Blog-Hop-Thursday-Morning to y’all!  I hope you’re ready for some beautiful projects from all the Ladies-Who-Hop.  This week was a color challenge….

12046689_1271122759580963_3978183749556588717_n

Perfect perfect perfect colors for Fall cards – so, I know that everyone is going to just “wow” the socks off of us all.  If you’re not wearing socks – I’ll wait while you go put some on.  It’s Fall!  And getting chilly.  You’ll catch your death of cold without socks on!

Anywhooo….before I share my project with you today, I’d like to introduce you to a little dude that we came upon whilst putting the horses out last night.  By the way – the night was so perfectly beautiful – you could smell the leaves on the ground, a little woodsmoke and perhaps someone burning a few leaves.  Just cool enough for a light jacket.  If you Googled “Fall in GA” – last night would have come up!  Just wonderful!

Yikes – off on a tangent again!  Here’s the little dude:

Leetle Frog on the Gate! - Stamps-N-Lingers

According to Google – that’s a Cope’s Gray Tree Frog.  He’s just tiny – not as long as the fingers on my hand.  As opposed to the fingers on my foot?  Sheesh, Mare.  He stayed right there while we put the horses out thru the gate he was resting on, and shut said gate.  Must have been just chilly enough to make him sleepy – his little eyes were at half-mast and kept blinking like – “what?  Huh?  I’m the same color as this smooth tree I’m on. Why can you see me?”.  I love how he’s got his little frog-hands and frog-feet all tucked up under him!

So, now that you’ve met him, let’s talk cards – since that’s why you’re here!  My Blog Hop share uses the beautiful Lighthearted Leaves, a sentiment from Watercolor Wishes and my very favorite thing….the Woodland TIEF.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Scenes Sparkly Seasons for Mojo Monday 419

Good morning from Arizona.  Where it’s planned to be….wait for it….102 degrees today.  In October.  Which is the “Fall”.  It’s just not okay.  Can’t wait to get home tomorrow where at least GA knows a little sumpin’ sumpin’ about Autumn.  We may not get it for very long – fingers crossed that this year we get more than last year! – but we get it.  Trees change color and fall off and everything.  And we get cold at night.  All harbingers of cool, lovely FALL!  Not so much here.  I am pretty sure I’ll never end up being a snow-bird.  Overnight lows of 83.

No.

So, I brought a little Autumn/October/Halloween with me.  Not literally!  Just in the form of a card.  I combined a bunch of sets – and every single one of them came as a money-saving bundle!! – Happy Scenes/Hearth & Home Thinlits, Sparkly Seasons/Seasonal Frame Thinlits, a little Among the Branches/Woodland TIEF… and I used a sort of unexpected DSP….Cherry on Top!  Take a look-see:

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 Meets Seasonal Frame!

Good morning, y’all!  When you read this, I’ll be on the way to spend a day crafting and carding and playing and eating and (hopefully!!) winning a prize or two!  Wish you could all come – I read someone was flying in from San Diego!  Yikes! 🙂

Now, today’s card is going to look awfully familiar.  That’s cause I used the same sketch challenge as my starting point that I used yesterday.  Normally, I wouldn’t do that.  But, when I first saw the sketch a couple days back, I actually had two card pictures get into my head.  So, I’m doing the one I didn’t do yesterday today.  Saturday.

So, this design was also inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #288.  Be sure to go over and check them out!

SSSC 288

For this one, I started with Into the Woods DSP as my color scheme launching point.  And I used just one TIEF – the Woodland TIEF.  For my sentiment, I used a die from the Seasonal Frame Thinlits.  And, of course, some Vintage Leaves.  You can see it’s going to go in a completely different direction than the All Ye Faithful card.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Scenes on Vintage Leaflets!

Happy Thursday, y’all!  Business is satisfactorily concluded and I’m getting back on the road to head home!  In the meantime, please enjoy this card I have to share with you today.

I am really really pleased with this one (especially after the “teachable moment card” of yesterday!).  But, let me warn you up front – it wasn’t particularly easy OR peasy to put together.  It took a lot of adjusting and Stamp-A-Ma-Jigging and wiggling.  But I finally got it and I’m proud as punch at how it turned out!  And, let’s be honest here – if I can do it, so can you! Promise! 🙂

I’d seen a card with a Happy Scene on a Vintage Leaf (Miss Amy Koenders did one a few days back!) and I loved it.  So, I wanted to do a similar thing, but….I didn’t want a direct CASE.  So, I played in my head with an idea….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:

Stampin’ Up! Thoughts & Prayers and Leaflets Offer Sympathy for the Loss of a Pet

Today, sadly, I do not have a Christmas card to share.  Or even a Halloween or Thanksgiving card.  Today, I had to delve into my Thoughts & Prayers stamp set to make a special request card.  A friend of a friend lost their 14 year old lab this past week.  So, after seeing the Pink and Black card I made with the black lab stamp, she asked me to make a card for her to give.

All of us who share our lives with 4-legged fur-kids know that this is the greatest downside…they never stay with us long enough.  It’s just part of the deal.  The sucky part.  I hear all the words….he had a great life….he knew you loved him.  Yada yada yada.  It still sucks and it still hurts something fierce.

But – I hope this card will bring some comfort and a smile.  Take a look-see:
