Stampin’ Up! Full of Love & Inspired Thoughts CAS Sympathy Card

Posted on August 31, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmmp Day It’s the LAST day of August (sheesh – can you even believe it?!) AND the LAST day of Sale-A-Bration! Yikes! So there’s still time to get those free goodies that you haven’t gotten yet – all while taking advantage of Double Peppermints!

My card today is a challenge. A personal one. While some folks are put off and intimidated by layers and fussy cutting and bows and bling…I am intimidated by….the single layer card.

Yes. It’s true. A single layer sparks fear in my heart. So I decided to – sort of! – confront that head on. I pulled out the Full of Love and Inspired Thoughts stamp sets and simply…stamped. Take a look-see:

Posted on August 30, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Can you believe that today and tomorrow are the very LAST days to take advantage of this Sale-A-Bration?? Yep – it’s truer than true! So…if there’s something you’ve meant to do or get before SAB ends….now would be a great time to do or get it! And – since DOUBLE Peppermints are still on the table – it really makes it a win-win!! 🙂

I went back to Halloween for today’s card – with the fun Bewitching Bundle – it’s got the cute Witch Hat Builder Punch with it – and the Best Witches stamp set. All set atop some hypnotic Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Kindest Storybook Gnomes Me So Well Card!

Posted on August 28, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning! Well – as I predicted – these four days have gone by in the blink of an eye and it’s time to head home! I HOPE that when you read this I’m sleeping in one last time. Or…ANY time! Sleeping in on vacay is not my strong suit – it takes me a while to “un-routine-ize myself and then – if I’m really lucky – I’ll sleep all the way to….630! 😳😳😳 Regardless – we’ll be headed back to the ATL soon!

The card I made for today features a bundle that it took me a minute to pick up. I mean – I am really gnot a gnome person, you gnowm? But – now that I have it…I’m really glad! The Kindest Gnome bundle is adorable AND has the added happy benefit of being able to die cut images right from the coordinating Storybook Gnomes DSP (which I LOVE!). Take a look-see at the wintry thank you card I made with it:

Posted on August 26, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning from NOLA! We made is safe and sound – if a little damp and a lot tired! – yesterday. Had some dinner at the hotel – Lobster Mac & Cheese! and then went to the first event of the conference for a little while. We didn’t stay long – headed up to bed to start the conference in earnest today! And the hotel has a great spot for breakfast…which we HEAR includes delicious beignets – so…we might not even NEED to go outside at all! Which may be good cuz…RAIN! ☔️ 🌧 ☔️ 🌧 ☔️ 🌧

I’m looking forward to seeing what Stampin’ Up! has on tap for us!

My card today is a fun-fold old stand-by for me – my fave of all time – the Book Fold. Aka the Side-Fold card! This one is all ready for Christmas – with Candy Canes dies cut right from the designs in the Sweetest Christmas DSP and a couple of Sweet Candy Canes sentiments. Take a look-see:

Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a very seasonal color 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!

As I built this post, I realized I’d used almost exactly the same products on my LAST week blog hop card! Oh, well – I had a request for another Halloween card and…since the colors were perfect AND Halloween is like …right around the corner (🤔), I figured…better get it done! So…out came the Scary Cute bundle and the Aspen Tree Dies. This time, though, I played with the fun Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:
