Stampin’ Up! Timeless Holly Jolly Branches Christmas Card for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop!  Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Merry Christmas Or Happy Holidays!  Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

For our Christmas-themed challenge, I pulled out the Timeless Christmas DSP in my fave Christmas red (that’s Poppy Parade, in case you were wondering) and paired it up with the fun tree images and die cuts in the Holly Jolly Branches bundle.  Take a look-see:

Stampin' Up! Timeless Holly Jolly Branches Christmas Card for the Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop - Stamps-N-Lingers

I started by matting a pretty polka-dot piece of Timeless Christmas DSP on a Pretty Peacock mat for the card front.

Using the next-to-smallest Perennial Postage rectangle die, I cut out five Basic White rectangles.

I embossed all of the die cuts in the new Timeless Herringbone Embossing Folder.  Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the die cuts to the card front.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large tree from Holly Jolly Branches – twice in Pretty Peacock and once in Lost Lagoon.  I used the coordinating die in the set to cut them out.

I also the largest tree die in the set to cut out two gold trees from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper.

I layered the trees onto the card front using Liquid Glue for all but the Lost Lagoon tree in the middle – he’s popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a Holly Jolly Branches sentiment in Poppy Parade ink.  I used the long label die in the set to cut it out.

On the back – I put a short strip of Stampin’ Seal and used it to add a couple loops of Linen Thread.

Then I added the sentiment with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added some clear Adhesive-backed Snowflakes and the card front was done.

On the inside, I stamped a second Holly Jolly Branches sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White panel.  I stamped the tree a few times in Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon.

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

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Holly Jolly Branches trees on the front…

…and more of the Timeless Christmas DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Holly Jolly Branches is a perfect set for the holidays – it’s got all sorts of fun sentiments and the trees are amazing!  Love the stamped one and the regular die cut trees so much!  And Timeless Christmas – in green and red – is about as traditional as it gets!

Stampin’ UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card

Good morning, y’all – happy back-to-work day!  Mondays are a lot better when they’re a holiday, I think.  Sorry this isn’t one of them! 🤷‍♀️

Today’s card is one that uses a little stamp bundle that just came out in the November Online Exclusives – it’s one you MIGHT have missed!  It’s the Every Phase set and it’s really cute and fun!  I paired it with the Starry Night Hot Foil Die – foiled in new RAINBOW foil!  Take a look-see:

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

The layout was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I did a quick video on how to make this card –  which is posted on Instagram.  If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!

I started by using the Stampin’ Hot Foil System and the Starry Night Hot Foil Die to foil the image in new Rainbow Stampin’ Hot Foil (new in the Dare to Dazzle Hot Foil Brochure) on a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Secret Sea cardstock.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

Using the big die in the Every Phase set – I cut out the center of the card panel.

On a 4″ x 4″ piece of Barely Blush cardstock, I stamped a starry image from Every Phase a few times in Barely Blush ink.  I set the card front on top of the Barely Blush panel and stamped the Every Phase sentiment in Secret Sea.

Then I adhered it behind the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I adhered the whole thing to the front of my Secret Sea card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a large and two medium clouds from Every Phase in Smoky Slate ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies in the set.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I adhered the three clouds to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the star dies in the set – there are two large and four small – I cut out six Silver Foil stars.  I adhered one large with a Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and all the remainder with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I added five Balmy Blue Adhesive-backed Sparkle Sequins and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second Every Phase sentiment in Secret Sea ink on a Barely Blush panel.  Then I put three star stamps on one block and stamped it twice in Smoky Slate ink.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Secret Sea card base and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the three Smoky Slate stars on the front…

…and I stamped the full moon image from Every Phase in Barely Blush on the envelope flap.

Stampin' UP! Every Phase in a Starry Night New Baby Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

Et Voila! So – there’s not a diaper or onesie or rattle to be seen but…I thought this would be a fun way to welcome a new tiny human – and I did it in my fave color combo – Secret Sea and Barely Blush.  Which makes it as non-gender-specific as yellow or green!  The Every Phase bundle has all the celestial fun to stamp and cut out – plus lots of MOON phase dies to use – and the sentiments are pretty wide-ranging.  Lots of versatility there.  And – Starry Nights – hot foiled in Rainbow! – seemed like the perfect pairing!

Yesterday I cleaned up the house so I could have a lady come and tell me what she’d charge me for HER to clean my house!

Part of that is…corraling ALL the toys.  And..there are a LOT of them!

As soon as it was polite to do so – Finn started the arduous process of getting them all BACK out.

Appears that the carrot is first out.

And – I got the side eye.

Ma’am.

You KNOW better!

Stampin’ UP! Saturday Nite Live Video Sneak Peek for 7 Nov 2026

Happy weekend, y’all!  I hope you’re fixin’ to have a good one – and have nice weather for it.  I very much hope that you’re not somewhere that is having the awful flooding – like north of us on the GA/TN border.  🙁

It’s likely going to be another pretty day here so I’m not sure what all is on our agenda – other than cleaning the house (bleh).  No matter WHAT else might pop up – I’ll be joining you this evening for the next installment in my Twelve Saturdays of Christmas Cards series.  I’ll be live – at 7pm Eastern – over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel.  Here’s a sneaky peek!

Stampin’ UP! Autumn Fields Diamond Bridge Thanksgiving Card for Creative Creases #121

Happy Happy Friday, y’all – hope you’ve had a great week!  We spent a few hours yesterday cooking a TON of food cuz…I guess I didn’t get the outside freezer door ALL the way shut and…it defrosted…everything.  So – both ovens, the stove, the Cuisinart Griddler and the microwave were “on duty”!  So now all the cooked food is headed for a freezer.  It was…1000/10 not fun.  Do not recommend.  Hopefully the freezer alarm doohickey that should arrive today will keep that from happening in the future.  We horse peeps call that “closing the barn door AFTER the horse has left”. 🫤

BEFORE that all happened, though, I did a video to share a cool card – it’s a fun fold! – for Thanksgiving! Die cuts and a sentiment from the cool Autumn Fields bundle grace the front of the card – along with Autumn Opulence and 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSPs!  Take a look-see:

Stampin' UP! Autumn Fields Diamond Bridge Thanksgiving Card for Creative Creases #121 - Stamps-N-Lingers

You’ll see this card – along with the other Design Team members’ cards –  at this month’s Creative Creases Challenge! 😎 We’re ALWAYS wanting to see pretty fun folds so…I hope hope hope you’ll make one (or three!) and come share them with us! 🙂 Continue reading →

Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Tile Garden Banner Thank You Fun Fold Card

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all – hope you’re having a great week.  We’ve just been doing the usual things – Wayne’s working equipment outside – I hear a tree fall every now and again and then the chainsaw fire up.  You know – FALL stuff! 🙂

Today’s card is another one that depends on my fave Mosaic Garden DSP – it does the work, for sure!  My friend Judi shared this Reverse Joy Fold card – that relies heavily on DSP – and I loved it enough to make my own!  In addition to the DSP – I used the coordinating Tile Garden bundle and the ever-handy-and-perfect Banner Sayings bundle.  Take a look-see:

Hey guys – happy…NOVEMBER!!!  Yikes!  And – did you remember to set your clocks back an hour before you went to bed or…did you have to remedy that when you got up?
