Stampin’ Up! Last Day for LAST CHANCE and an Amazing Starter Kit Promotion Starts Tomorrow!

Posted on April 30, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Hello from Giardini Naxos, Taormina, Sicily. If I’ve done my finger-counting right, we anchored here just a little while before this post goes live. There’s a very real possibility that I have NOT done the math right – it doesn’t take long to lose track of days – and time! – on a cruise! If that IS where we are – hopefully I’ll be able to post some pictures soon!

But – this seemed like a good time to give y’all a heads up about an amazeballs Joining Special that starts tomorrow – 1 May – and runs thru the end of the month! And – it’s very COLORFUL, indeed!!

My card today isn’t even sort of nautical. It’s all flower-dy, thanks to some of the new Unbounded Beauty DSP and the coordinating Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty bundles – all in one of the new Suites available to you on 1 May. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Take to the Adventurous Sky Masculine Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 25, 2024 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 (my fave!) 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!

So – I think I’ve already mentioned that the Take to the Sky Suite – with the Adventurous Sky bundle – is already one of my favorite sets in the new catalog. As such – and cuz I’d spied with my little eye a DSP panel in the Take to the Sky DSP that fit today’s sketch perfectly – it’s not surprising that I reached for it for today’s card. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! April 2024 Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin and a Peek at the May 2024 Kit!

Posted on April 24, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! I hope your week is going well. Mine is going…FAST! My hair is a LITTLE bit on fire right now – trying to get all the things done – all while acting all casual and stuff so that Finn doesn’t stress out.

Yeah. FINN stressing is the problem!

I wanted to share this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit with you. It’s the Delicate Wings kit and, y’all – it’s the most beautiful one I’ve seen in a while. Sooo elegant in Grays and champagne-gold foil!

This kit made nine cards – three each in three designs – each more beautiful than the last! And – even doing some additional stamping on the insides and envelopes (#nonekkidenvelopes) – I got them all done in less than an hour!

Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Sea Turtle Center Easel Card for the SU Demos Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on April 23, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning everyone! Welcome to this month’s Fun Folds Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?

One of my crafty team members posted a card on our team FB page a few weeks back (thanks, Darryl!) and – being an easel card AND a little different than I’d seen before – I was intrigued. I decided I’d put one together for you today – and decided it needed to be an underwater scene (I appear to be in that mode right now!). This one features the cool Reversible Sea Turtle stamp set and – my go-to for these – the Beauty of the Deep die set. For a sentiment – I pulled out the Hope You Know set. Then – I thought it would be fun to use some watery colored paper from the new Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP (this is new in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, available on 1 May). Take a look-see:
