Posted on May 21, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well! We’re all getting back into the swing of things – and working on getting into a two-dog routine! Addy is making strides – little short ones, but strides nonetheless! – learning how to be a farm dog! I do think she’s having fun! 🙂

My Thank You card today is quick and easy – with some Turtle-y Cute DSP setting a very NON-turtle-y stage and the pretty fonts from the Layered Thoughts stamp set adding the sentiment. The cool Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack adds a few sweet die cuts! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! MORE Beautiful Sympathy Cards and My Retired Shop is Updated!

Posted on May 20, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey guys! Well, it’s Tuesday and I’m paddling as fast as I can to get caught up! My craft room is…a disaster area! LOL! I’ve got old stuff – old old stuff – sorta old stuff – new stuff – really new stuff – and…everything in between! And it’s on nearly every horizontal surface! YIKES!

And let’s not even get into laundry – and unpacking from COLORADO! It’s a smidge cray cray here right now!

To try to help get the chaos under some semblance of control – I’ve been pulling things off my active shelf and getting them into my Retired Shop! Which is GOOD news for y’all! I’m still pulling and getting thru the discontinued list so…this is a REALLY good week for you to be checking my Retired Shop pretty regular! You’ll find gently used items – that are at half of their regular “new” prices – with flat rate shipping! You pay the same whether you buy one thing or…ten!

Stampin’ Up! Some Photos from Disney World 2025!

Posted on May 19, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey guys! Well – we’re home – and the puppers are home, too! Finn’s looking all over for the pool and Addy is telling us how brave she was! I suspect they’re both happy to be home!

Thought I’d share some photos from our vacation – Incentive Trips are ALWAYS wonderful – Stampin’ Up! treats us so well and so did Disney and the Grand Floridian!

We departed Atlanta on Tuesday at the sane and civilized hour of…1115-ish and made the short flight to Orlando!

Posted on May 18, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning on this sad, sad Sunday! Why sad? Cuz…when you read this, we’ll be hustling out of our hotel room door for the last time! 🙁 It’s been SUCH a wonderful week – but…it’s time to saddle up and head home. I’ll miss living the Disney magic – it’s really a thing! But I AM looking forward to picking the pups up this afternoon and getting them back home! 🙂

For today’s card – I’ve got a super cute fun fold card that my friend Judi Hartbarger made for me! It’s a Split Panel card and it features the Beautiful Butterflies bundle and some gorgeous Florals in Bloom DSP! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Embossed Kintsugi Inspiring Inspirations Thank You Card

Posted on May 16, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Friday, y’all! Hope your week has been good! We’ve been having a wonderful time here at Disney – today we’re headed over to Hollywood Studios – going to get us some Star Wars under our belts. We’re planning on Rise of the Resistance and Star Tours – maybe I’ll even make a lightsaber! 🤔

My card today showcases the Kintsugi Inspirations suite in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Kintsugi is “the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the cracks with lacquer, often mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It literally translates to “golden joinery” or “golden repair”. Stampin’ Up! did a great job with the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty DSP and the coordinating Inspiring Imperfections bundle. There’s even the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder. I used it ALL – plus a frame from the Perennial Postage die set! Take a look-see:

Posted on May 15, 2025 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 theme 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 let some gorgeous Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP carry the water (as it were) for our theme this week – and then I accented it with a Textured Notes die cut double frame. The Beautiful Motifs bundle lent a sentiment – and…a really cool die cut floral. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! So Many Beautiful Sympathy Cards!!

Posted on May 14, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well!

I’ve said it before (a lot) and I’ll say it again (ALSO probably a lot!) – the best part of this Stampin’ Up! gig is…the people! That has been driven home to me so many times in the past few months – everyone’s kindness has been overwhelming!

When we got home – I had a HUGE stack of cards – from all over the country. Some were from team members – some from customers – ALL were from friends. Friends I’ve made BECAUSE of Stampin’ Up!

ALL the cards were handmade – and each of them contained a message of love and prayer and understanding. They were wonderful to read.

Y’all can’t really read them – but…I wanted to share their beautiful-ness with you!

Enjoy!
