Stampin’ Up! December 2025 Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin and a Peek at the January Kit!

Posted on December 31, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! AND – happy NEW YEAR’S EVE!! I don’t know about y’all but…other than listening to our neighbors do fireworks – and occasionally shoot a rifle up in the air (do NOT get me started on the absurdity of THAT practice!) – we barely notice the changing of the year. Would like to say that we USED to stay up and party and all that but…I’d hate to lie to you! We sleep right thru it. Unless I have to get up to go to the bathroom and that happens to coincide with the striking of midnight!! LOL

Yes. We’re boring ole fuds. It is what it is! 😉

A little while back, I got my December Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin kits in the mail. I’d seen a few photos of what was in the kit, so I made one up right away – and it didn’t disappoint! It’s gorgeous – in Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Secret Sea and more! I got nine beautiful thank you cards in a jiff! Take a look-see:

Posted on December 24, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! And – happy Christmas Eve! Hope you’ve got all the things done and can just set back and enjoy the day! We’ve been invited to a Christmas Eve party this evening – where we’ll eat and play silly fun “reindeer games”. I’ve got a little cooking to do to get ready but…we’re really looking forward to going and having a nice evening!

Today’s card is a bit of a sneak peek – with a great all-sentiment set – called Prayers & Promises (new on 6 Jan in the Mini Catalog) and the Fragrant Leaves stamp set and Covered in Flowers Accents (these are also new on 6 Jan in the Online Exclusives). And there’s pretty Brushed with Beauty DSP and the uber-awesome Textured Notes die set. I used it all to make a pretty sympathy card. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Lovely Blossoms Arrangements Sneak Peek Birthday Card

Posted on December 23, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Christmas Eve EVE, y’all! Today’s the day you want to do that last minute run to Walmart – or any grocery store, I’m thinkin’! We tried to get a Butter Pecan Cake Mix at Publix last night and…they did NOT have them! Whaaaa?!? So – we’re likely going to sprint to Walmart – yes, THEY have them! – to get that and a couple other things so we don’t have to go tomorrow. We’re actually doing Christmas dinner on Saturday when the kids can be there – so I’ve got a minute. But…in MY eyes – the only WORSE day to go to Wally than Christmas EVE is…the day AFTER Christmas! 😳😳

So – as we get closer to the end of the year, we’re ALSO getting closer to the go-live day for the January 2026 Online Exclusives! Yeah! The Lovely Blossoms Suite is one of the goodies you’ll be able to snag! There’s pretty DSP of the same name – and the coordinating Lovely Arrangements bundle. I used those to make a pretty birthday card – take a look-see:
