Stamps-N-Lingers Packaging Stock Up Sale Starts Today!

Posted on October 22, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all and happy Tuesday! I hope your week is going well.

We’re getting closer and closer to November – AND – we’re creeping up on Thanksgiving – and Christmas! – aren’t we? I can’t believe it’s ALREADY that time of year.

But – regardless of our mental preparedness for it – it’s coming!

Are YOU ready?

You’ll be awfully impressed to know that…I totally am. I have all my shopping done – my Christmas cards are all made, addressed and ready to mail. I have wrapped all the gifts I’m giving in a manner that would make Martha Stewart pea-green with envy and awestruck with admiration. I’ve planned my menu for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve AND New Year’s Day. AND I’m developing a new recipe for a romantic dessert for Valentine’s Day.

Bwahahahahaha!! If absolutely even ONE part of that had been anything more than total and complete fiction from the mind of a crazy person then….I WOULD. BE. AMAZING! 😎

But…I am very much NOT that far ahead and I’m sort of assuming that you aren’t either! But – that ticking clock you hear in your head says it’s time to be thinking about the gifting – packaging – mailing you need to do, am I right?

So…I’m here today to help you with PART of the Holiday-Season-Prep-Frenzy with….my annual….

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Abundance & Leaf Fall Thinking of You Card

Posted on October 21, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy work-week! Uhm…happy Monday! Not really sure Monday’s are ever “happy” but…hope yours will be as good as a Monday can get!

So – I have a confession to make. When I put together my September Paper Pumpkin kit – the Autumn Abundance Kit (with the snails and mushrooms) – I…MIGHT…have neglected to really READ the directions for the cute square card. As a result – I totally borked the first one. I set it aside and finished the rest of the kit.

Well – that borked one was just really annoying me – it was so cute that I REALLY didn’t want to just toss it. So – I figured I’d try to make something with it. I pulled out some cardstock and the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder (now an Online Exclusive) – and did a little trimming and adhering and…take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! CAS Reindeer Fun & Decorative Trees Christmas Card

Posted on October 20, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all! I hope your weekend is going well! It’s Fall in the south and that’s a wonderful thing! A few weeks of the nicest weather you can ask for – I am hoping and praying that NC and FL are getting some of it, too!

My card today is a perfect one for making multiples – which is certainly something that I know a lot of you will really like as we head hard and fast into Christmas-card-sending season! I used the Reindeer Fun stamp set and Decorative Trees dies – plus some holly strewn Reindeer Days DSP (you could make 12 of these with just one pack of this paper – boom!). Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Take a Bow Humble Home Thank You Tags

Posted on October 18, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! We’re making our way East towards home today and – I’m already tired of riding in the truck! 🤷‍♀️

My card today isn’t a card at all! It’s a tag! I made this to send with the Decorative Trees class materials when I mailed them in September. Of COURSE I did not take a picture of the assembled package. Why would I have done THAT!?

But – I made these little tags from Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Humble Home punch Bundle. Plus a tag die from the Greetings of the Season die set. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! CAS Sweetest Star Merry & Bright Christmas Card

Posted on October 14, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! I hope you had a great weekend and that your week ahead is looking good, too. If you’re recovering from Helene and/or Milton, please know that you’re in my thoughts every day.

So – a little story. In order to be gone for a couple of weeks, I made cards. Lots of them, actually! And recorded some Shorts. And generally prepped so that my being gone would be as close to transparent for you as I could make it. In the course of that – I took all the pictures of all the afore-mentioned cards.

Except…todays. Yup. When I went to prep the photos to share there were….none. So. Had to punt a bit and find a suitable spot at my mom’s house. You MAY be surprised to know that she doesn’t have a photobooth handy. Weird, right!?! 🤷‍♀️ Which means…I improvised. So – please look at the CARD – and not so much the photo qualities, okay?! 🙂

And the card we’re going to NOT judge for photo-perfection is a quick and easy Vintage-y Christmas card featuring the Sweetest Star bundle! Take a look-see:
