Stampin’ UP! Festive Cheer Sneak Peek Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table.  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

One of the best parts about getting home was being back in my craft room with my Online Exclusive pre-order!! Whoo-hoo!  So – I pulled one out – the Festive Cheer bundle.  And, while I was at it, some new 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP and the amazeballs new Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder.  You’re going to be able to get ALL of these in just a couple weeks – on 1 July when the new Online Exclusives go live.  Take a look-see:

And here’s our sketch!

I started by matting a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of the new Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP (available 1 July 2026) on a Basic White mat for the card front.

Next, I embossed a 3 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock in the new Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder (coming 1 July) and then matted it on Basic White and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using the cool sentiment die in the new Festive Cheer die set (coming 1 July) I cut out the NOEL sentiment from Basic White cardstock.  On another bit of Basic White, I stamped the ornament in Cherry Cobbler and the leafy fill in Peaceful Pine ink.

I cut out the ornament with the die in the bundled Festive Cheer set.  I also took a minute to cut out a bow, “string” and ornament hangar from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper.

I adhered the ornament hangar and string to the top of the die cut ornament with Liquid Glue.  When it was set up, I adhered the little bow with Liquid Glue.

From a piece of Peaceful Pine cardstock and Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper, I cut out two Festive Cheer pine boughs.  I also cut out two Pecan Pie branches.

Stampin' UP! Festive Cheer Sneak Peek Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop - Stamps-N-Lingers

I adhered the two branches to the two pine boughs with Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered the pearlized bough to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the stamped/die cut ornament in position on the card front.  I snipped the “string” to length and used a little Liquid Glue to adhere it to the branch. Note: the photo shows BEFORE I did the snipping!

Then I adhered the remaining die cut letters in place with Liquid Glue.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the second completed pine bough to the card front.

I used the die in the set to cut out five Cherry Cobbler berries that I adhered with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Festive Cheer Sneak Peek Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop - Stamps-N-Lingers

I added four copper Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems (three to the card front and one small one on the stamped ornament in the sentiment) and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a Festive Cheer sentiment in Peaceful Pine and a Cherry Cobbler bow on a Basic White panel.  Across the bottom, I adhered a 3/8″ x 4″ piece of 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Festive Cheer Sneak Peek Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Peaceful Pine card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the little Festive Cheer bow a few times in Cherry Cobbler ink on the front…

Stampin’ UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all!  Hope your week is going well.  It’s been rainy and dreary here – Cady loves it – she’s been standing out in the rain just enjoying the cool!

I’ve got a birthday card to share with you today – and it’s great for the guys in your life!  And that’s especially appropriate TODAY – because…today is Finn’s birthday! 🙂  He’s not really a fisherman but he DOES like to swim so…the Relaxing Waterside bundle and Waterside Retreat DSP were a perfect fit!  Take a look-see:

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I pulled some ideas from this week’s Festive Friday Inspo List. I have Masculine Colors, Metallic Embellishments and Patterned Paper.

I started by adhering a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Waterside Retreat DSP on a Mossy Meadow mat.

From a piece of the Waterside Retreat DSP – I used the third-from-largest Everyday Arches die to cut out part of the little “scene”.

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used the next largest Everyday Arches Die to cut out a Mossy Meadow mat and used Liquid Glue to adhere the DSP arch to the cardstock arched mat and then to the card front.

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used the larger grass image in the Relaxing Waterside set to stamp the grass in Old Olive ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  I colored around the image with the Light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend and then cut it out with the coordinating Relaxing Waterside die.

I used two more dies from the set to cut out three grasses from Pool Party cardstock – two of the right facing and one left facing.

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the grasses – all of them! – to the card front.

On a piece of woodgrain Waterside Retreat DSP, I stamped the Relaxing Waterside sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink.

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used the smallest Everyday Arches die to cut out the sentiment.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the sentiment over the grasses.

I added some cool Faux Bronze Hexagons and the card front was done!

For the inside, I kept it simple, stamping the large Relaxing Waterside grass image in Old Olive ink on a Basic White panel.

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Pool Party card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Relaxing Waterside grass image in Old Olive on the front…

Stampin' UP! Masculine Waterside Arches Retreat Birthday Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

…and some more of the wonderful Waterside Retreat DSP on the envelope flap.

Finn Fan Fix 

On this day ten years ago – the sweetest Aussie to walk the Earth (not biased – just fact!) was born! And a few months later, I got to meet him and he decided he’d be my boy.

In the words of Julie Andrews….

For here you are standing there loving me
Whether or not you should.
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.

I hope everyday to be the person he thinks I am.

Happy Happy Birthday, FinnyWin!
