Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Sweet & Lovely Sending Love Card

Posted on May 12, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all – from the U S of A! Yup – we’re home and all in one piece, if a little (aka a LOT) jet-lagged! But it was good to get home and see the place and the pony. And we’ll go get the Man in a little bit!! I can’t wait to give him a big hug!

My card today is super easy but also super pretty (a combo I like a lot – even if I don’t always accomplish it!). It features the Lovely & Sweet bundle and the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP – BOTH of which carried over from the last Mini catalog into the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Fully Flowering Layers & Labels Sneak Peek with So Sincere Card

Posted on April 10, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope your week is going well! We’ve been getting some rain – so…it’s nice cuz it’s knocked the pollen down some. I was happy that we got a clear day on Monday for the eclipse, though!

My card today uses some fun new products in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. It started with the wonderful set of ready-to-go-and-beautifully-decorated Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes – and then I decorated it with several elements from the new Labels & Layers Ephemera Pack AND the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack! I added a sweet sentiment from the returning-fave So Sincere stamp set. Take a look-see:

Posted on April 9, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is For the Ladies/Girls! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

I love the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle – the die cuts are so delicate and…feminine! 😉 So – that, paired with some stunning Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ DSP (ALL available on 1 May in the new annual catalog!) – seemed to fit the theme perfectly. Take a look-see:

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 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 pulled out a cute “fly-over” set – that’s what I call stamp sets that I think people tend to miss when they’re looking thru the catalog! – called Filled With Happiness. And I paired it with the uber-pretty (and FREE!) Sunny Days DSP! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Rock & Roll Rock Star Joy Fold Card with Video Tutorial

Posted on January 19, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Friday! I hope y’all are staying warm and have warm plans for the weekend! Finny and I are staying close to home, I think. HE might (definitely!!) want to go somewhere but…it’s too stinkin’ cold for ME to want to go, so…since I’m his driver…🤷‍♀️😂

My card today is a super easy fun fold – it’s called a Joy Fold and it’s really great for showing off beautiful – or fun! – DSP. Like…for example, the Rock & Roll DSP on this one! And I added a few fun elements from the coordinating Rock Star bundle. And…lightning bolts! Take a look-see:

Posted on January 11, 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 color 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!

Our color palette this week aimed me at the Bee Mine DSP – not a hardship to use it again! It is SO cute! I paired it with the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to make a card for a special day. I made it as a birthday card but…I think it would also work for all sorts of occasions that need celebrating! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature’s Sweetness Hello Sneak Peek Card

Posted on January 3, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! So – I don’t know about you guys – but I have a really hard time keeping track of the days when there’s a holiday – especially a big one! – on Monday! I mean – keeping track of days is not easy in REGULAR weeks but – add in a holiday-on-Monday and…I’m a day late the rest of the week!

What I DO remember is that TODAY is your last day to grab those Last Chance Products. You might say it’s the Last Chance Last Chance! 🤷‍♀️

It’s ALSO the last day before the Jan – Apr 2024 Mini Catalog (and Sale-A-Bration!!) go live for y’all! Whoo-hoo! I am kind of assuming that the bundle – nay…the SUITE! – that I’m playing with today is on your list – hopefully near the top! It’s the Notes of Nature bundle and stunning Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

Posted on December 18, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy one-week-to-Christmas! Yes indeed – the next time we have a Monday we’ll be celebrating the biggest Birthday ever! 🙂

Today’s card is…NOT a Christmas card. I feel like it’s getting to the point where…it’s a little too late, you know?? 🤷‍♀️ And – I really want to play with our new goodies! So…I did! This Sneak Peek is a riff on a sample card from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – the sample that made me HAVE to have the Delicate Forest bundle first thing! And – I paired it with a guaranteed-to-be-a-fave Perennial Lavender DSP! Take a look-see:
