Stampin’ Up! Some Projects from My Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew Team!

Posted on April 20, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Easter! He is Risen! I hope you’re spending this day with family and friends and remembering the real reason we Celebrate!

I’ve done a lot of talking about my Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew team (the CNCK’rs) and I thought you might like to see a few of their projects! Every month we have a team challenge on our private FB page and…we get to see some real beauties! We don’t have a requirement to use ONLY Stampin’ Up! products, but I know you’ll find as much inspiration in their beautiful work as I do!!

Tara Carpenter made this fun Birthday Card. Tara is a team member and blogger from Hallsville, MO. You can see more information about this card on her blog post here. Tara’s blog is https://tarabethstamps.com/

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Wanted to Say Birthday Card

Posted on April 19, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Saturday! Hope you’ve got a bright and sunny day – befitting of Easter Weekend! We had snow yestedray – quite a bit actually! Apparently – the Colorado weather THOUGHT we had an appointment to go to and was trying to thwart us! Fooled it, we did! Our appointments – all hardy Colorado stock – came to US! So…there! 😉

My card today is a quick and easy beauty from my friend and team mate Rosie Kean! This one is all about die cuts – sentiments from the Wanted to Say die set and some florals from the Painted Lavender die set – BOTH of which are on the Last Chance list so…you know what to do! Beautiful Perennial Lavender DSP does the heavy lifting here! And – there’s no ink anywhere so…no inky fingers! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Pretty Cards We’ve Received in Colorado!

Posted on April 18, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! Hope you have some nice plans for Easter weekend!

So – if someone asked me “what is the best thing about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator?” – what do you think I’d answer?

The fun stamping tools, pretty papers, perfectly coordinated colors? Well – those are great but…nope.

The discount? Awesome – yes. The best thing? Nope.

How about…getting to see AND order new goodies and products early?

Hmm….well….nope!

So – what is it?

It’s the people. The customers who have become friends – people I’d never have “met” (Virtually or otherwise) – without Stampin’ Up! My team mates – the folks who decided to join Stampin’ Up! and did it with me – becoming part of my Stampin’ Up! family.

100% – the people that I call friends – who I know BECAUSE of Stampin’ Up! – is THE best part.

Case in point. As I am here with my Mom in Colorado – I’ve had team mates make cards for me to blog to share with you – because I can’t and they know that it’s important to me.

I get e-mails, texts and FB messages nearly every day – just touching base, asking how I am, asking if we need anything.

My mom and I have received cards in the mail – these are people who don’t know my mom at all – but because they know ME – they’ve taken the time to make and send HER a beautiful, hand-made card.

Like these.
