Stampin’ Up! Artisan All Aflutter Thank You Fun Fold Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 21, 2026 by stampsnlingers

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!

I decided to play a bit with the sketch and turn it into a fun fold.  A super SUPER simple one!  But – I gave it a little extra sumpin’ sumpin’ by using the cool black and white Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – and doing a little fussy cutting!  Additionally, I pulled the All Aflutter stamp set to make this pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:

And – here’s our sketch!

I started by scoring a 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock at 3 1/4″ on the long side.

On the front panel, I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of polka-dot Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.

I adhered another piece – this one an open-line sketch of flowers – on the back panel.

On a 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped three butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I also stamped a couple of butterfly trails.  I colored the butterflies with the Dark Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base.

For the front of the card, I started by creating the pretty floral.  I used Stampin’ Blends to color a pretty vase…

and three other sprays of flowers from one of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP papers.

I used Dark Soft Sea Foam (leaves), Light Pool Party (vase) and Light Fresh Freesia, Light Crisp Cantaloupe, Dark Barely Blush and Light Lemon Lolly for the flowers.

Then – deep breath, y’all! – I used my scissors to cut out the colored images!  Note: this is a great time to tell you that the July Online Exclusives will introduce our new DETAILED SCISSORS!!  Yep – we’ll have awesome, sharp, paper cutting scissors again!  Whoo-hoo – I am a happy fussy cutter!!

Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the three flower sprays behind the vase, then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the assembled floral image to the card front.

I tied a bow from a length of white Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.

On a 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the All Aflutter sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I matted it on a piece of Barely Blush cardstock and adhered it over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Crisp Cantaloupe 2026-2028 In Color Dots and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got a couple of butterflies – colored in Barely Blush and Lemon Lolly – on the front…

…and more of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Well – if you love black-and-white color palettes – adding pops of color here and there – then the new Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is one you’re going to want in your toolbox!  Add some butterflies from All Aflutter – if you have the punch that’s bundled with the stamp set – you can even cut them out (NO fussy cutting!).

Stampin’ UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit!

Posted on May 20, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all!  As I predicted last week – THIS week is….CRAAAAAZY!  It’s the final few days before we head west and I’m. behind.  WAAAY behind.  Or – at least it feels that way.  You know that feeling?  Where you cross one to-do off the to-do list and then add three to-do’s that still need to be to-do’d?? Yeah.  That’s where I’m sitting!!  AND – all while trying to ACT like all is normal so that Finn and Addy don’t start to get worried.  The struggle is real, y’all!

So – again as I said I would last week, I’m bringing a little calm in the storm.  That’s how kits have become for me.  When my mojo is tired – I can pull out a kit and just…make.  I usually do it while I’m on a Zoom the Craftrrom chatting with friends!  Which is exactly what I did with the Pretty Party kit! When I was done making and chatting I had nine fun cards made and ready to go!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

This is a stamping kit (yeah!) and the box had everything I needed to complete the cards – including the Pretty Party stamp set and a Cajun Craze Classic Ink Spot!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

In the pursuit of total transparency – see?  I can use buzzwords, too! – I DID change two of the three sentiments in the kit.  I almost always need thank you cards so…I pulled out the new Words & Wishes stamp set!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

This first card I made exactly as the kit suggested – as a super fun birthday card! I love the big, fun popped-up balloon!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

Stampin’ UP! included a cute balloon stamp and suggested stamping the front of the envelope.  Which I did (of course!) and I added them – with a second sentiment – on the inside, too!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

For this next one – I snagged a Thank You sentiment from the Words & Wishes set and added it over the shiny gold label from the kit! And – that sentiment is not crooked.  It’s the light shining on the label.  That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! 🤦‍♀️

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

A second sentiment – and the balloons from the kit! – finished off the inside of the card.  Did you notice the pretty envelope flap?  The envelopes came that way!  BOOM!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

Finally – my fave of the group – I just LOVE the huge bouquet of balloons – and several of them are popped up – there are cute die cuts in the kit and you just put them right over top of the printed image on the card front!  This is another one that uses sentiments from Words & Wishes!

Stampin' UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit! - Stamps-N-Lingers

And the inside of this one.  Love that Words & Wishes stamp set!!

In case you’re wondering – if I’d made all the cards exactly as the kit suggested – using only the included stamp set!

I really love this gorgeous kit – it’s just too fun!  And I’m glad I bought two of them! It’s another example of how much Stampin’ Up! has upped their Kits game!!

Stampin’ UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card

Posted on May 19, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Tuesday!  Big day for us demonstrators – we get to pre-order new goodies from the July 2026 Online Exclusives!  Whoo-hoo!  That’s just ONE of the benefits of being a demonstrator!  And if you’ve ever given it a thought – check out our super Joining Special going on right now! All the deets are down below! 🙂

Today’s card USES an Online Exclusive – the Sweet Old Bear and Sweet Words & Labels bundles – plus the totes-adorbs Silly Old Bear DSP!  I used it all to make a quick and easy fun fold – it’s called a Joy Fold! Take a look-see:

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I pulled several elements from the Festive Friday Inspo List Challenge. I got yellow, black, orange, fancy fold, hexagons and honey (that’s HONEY comb, y’all! 😎 )

I started by scoring and folding a 5 1/2″ x 6 1/4″ piece of Basic Black cardstock at 4 1/4″ – that’s the large card base. I folded it and kept the side panel closing from the right.

I matted a piece of striped Silly Old Bear DSP on Crisp Cantaloupe and adhered it to the large inside back panel with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I matted another DSP panel  – this one 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ – on Crisp Cantaloupe and adhered it to the small side panel.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

For the back, I stamped the little Sweet Old Friends Piglet image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the corner of a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the dandelion puffs image several times in Golden Glow – and colored Piglet with the Light Barely Blush (skin), Light Hydrangea Hue (shirt)l Light Pecan Pie (dandelion stem) and Light Golden Glow Stampin’ Blends (dandelion puffs on stem).

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I adhered the panel to the back of the large card base with Liquid Glue.

I scored and folded a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Crisp Cantaloupe at 2 3/4″ to make the small card base.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I matted a map-design piece of the Silly Old Bear DSP on Basic Black and adhered it to the small card front.

Using a die in the Sweet Old Words die set – it’s a little hard to count them to tell you which one – but…the resulting label is about 2 1/8″ x 3 1/8″ – I cut out a Basic White label.

From a piece of cardstock, I used the die in the set to cut out a honeycomb and create a stencil.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

Using it and a Small Blending Brush, I added Golden Glow honeycomb to the top of the die cut label.  I used the die a second time – in Golden Glow cardstock to cut out some hexagons – three of which I adhered to the label with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere a loop-d-loop of Golden Glow 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon on the back of the label and then adhered it to the small card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I centered the small card base on the large back inside panel of the card base and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I stamped a Sweet Old Friends sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a 1/2″ x 2 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the small card front with Liquid Glue.  Then I used the Sweet Old Friends die to cut out Pooh & Piglet from the Sweet Old Friends DSP and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the inside of the small card base, I stamped a second Sweet Old Friends sentiment in Tuxedo Black on a 2 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock,  I used my stencil to add some Golden Glow honeycomb – and adhered the remaining five die cut Golden Glow hexagons.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the small card base and…the Joy Fold card was…done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the stenciled honeycomb in Golden Glow on the front…

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

…and more Silly Old Bear DSP on the envelope flap.

Stampin' UP! Sweet Silly Old Friends Joy Fold Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

Et Voila!  Well – this Silly Old Bear suite with its darling DSP – and the coordinating Sweet Old Friends and Sweet Words & Labels bundles – just gets cuter and cuter every time I use it!  I hope you’re thinking the same and are busily adding it to your stash!

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope y’all had a great weekend and came thru any weather unscathed!  The middle of the country is really taking a beating these past few weeks! :). We’ve been fortunate so far – and I have my fingers crossed that we have a pretty uneventful tornado season!

Today’s card goes back to some old faves – starting with Nature Walk DSP (now an Online Exclusive) and the Gears & Textures bundle (which found its way into the new May-Aug 2026 Catalog!) to make a cool masculine card.  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one is from 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 with a 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ piece of Pretty Peacock Nature Walk DSP that I matted on Lost Lagoon using Liquid Glue.  I adhered a 1 1/4″ x 4 7/8″ piece of scripty Nature Walk DSP with Liquid Glue.

Then I double-matted the card front on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pecan Pie using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the dies in the Gears & Textures set (backordered right now but expected back around the week of 25 May!) I cut out a bunch of gears.

– Large gear in Early Espresso cardstock

– Two small wheels in Early Espresso cardstock

– A large ring in Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper

– Three small gear “hubs” in Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper

– Small solid gear shape in Pecan Pie cardstock

– The chain “shadow” in Early Espresso cardstock

– The detailed chain in Gold Foil

Using Liquid Glue, I assembled the gears – you can see from the photo (and the short video!) how each element goes together!

With all the elements assembled, I adhered the completed chain to the card front with Liquid Glue, then adhered the large gear with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked the two smaller wheel gears under the large one – adhering them with Liquid Glue.

On a 1/2″ x 1 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Scalloped Blooms sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink.  Man – this stamp set is turning out to REALLY be a go-to for sentiments!!  And its bundled dies are pretty awesome, too! 😎

I snipped a banner end in to the sentiment strip and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue and Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added some Basic Beige Natural Matte Dots and the card front was done!

On the inside, I made a collage of textures using the stamps in the Gear & Textures stamp set.  I stamped the lined image twice – once in full-strength Pretty Peacock ink and a second time without re-inking.  Then I stamped a wheel gear in Early Espresso, a smaller wheel in Pecan Pie ink.  Then I added the little cross-marks in Pecan Pie and the Phillips screw-head images in Pretty Peacock.  Then I added another Basic Beige Natural Matte Dot.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Pretty Peacock card base, adhered the card front with more Liquid Glue and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Gears & Textures texture collage on the front…

…and more Nature Walk DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Nature Walk DSP is a fave for a reason, y’all!  It can be used on so many different kinds of cards – it’s just a perfect starting point!  And Gears & Textures – I am so glad it carried over into the new catalog.  It’s a great bundle for making the cards for the guys on our lists.  But – it does not have any sentiments – so… once again, Scalloped Blooms steps into the void – with a perfect sentiment to make this an any-occasion card! 🙂

Stampin’ UP! Velvet Meadow Opulent Oasis Card with Video

Posted on May 15, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Well – here we are!  Friday!  Whoo-hooo!  I’ve got a busy day – I’m taking the kids to daycare today so they can remember what being there is like – and then I’m headed north for a hair cut!  Which, given traffic in Atlanta – is almost a full day’s exercise!!  And – is it my fault there’s a JJill right there by the hair salon?!  No.  No it is not! 😉

Today’s card is a look at a bundle I hadn’t used as of yet – the Opulent Oasis bundle!  It’s one of our new Impressions bundle – with a big, pretty die designed to be used with our new Impressions Plate!  I didn’t use that one on this card – I only needed some images and foliage die cuts to go along with the pretty Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Take a Look at the Serene Scenes Kit!

Posted on May 13, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! !!  Hope you’re having a great week! We’re chugging along – I realized on Monday – during my Zoom the Craftoom! – that we’re inside two weeks before we leave for our trip!  So…getting cards done, horse/house sitter confirmed (and triple confirmed), making sure kennel has all the records and info they need, thinking about clothes….yikes!  It’s getting real, y’all! 😳

In the midst of semi-chaos (wait till the end of NEXT week!!) – doing a quick and easy and gorgeous kit is just the ticket!  Which made it handy that my new Serene Scenes kit had arrived!  I’d been really looking forward to this one’s arrival so…I was excited to put it together!

It’s a stamping kit – and it’s also one that went together speedy quick! In no time at all, I had nine beautiful cards ready to go!  Take a look-see:
