Stampin’ UP! Fern & Flora Two Ways Thank You Card with Video

Posted on July 26, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! I’ve discovered that when 65 year old me decides to medium-deep clean the kitchen, make sourdough pizza AND sourdough bread AND do a card video all on one single Saturday – that 65 year old me is…whooped at the end of the day! So today for me is…recover! Which might include watching a few episodes of Bridgerton. I FINALLY started watching it and now, of course, I’m hooked! LOL!

Today’s card uses my favorite Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder two different ways – along with the coordinating Fern & Flora bundle – to make a pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Shimmering Web of Fun Sneak Peek Halloween Card

Posted on June 22, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend. The wedding yesterday was nice – if hot and humid – and we enjoyed spending some time with our friends – and wishing the new couple a long and happy life!

Today’s card is…not even sort of about weddings! In fact, it’s a Halloween card. This is a little non-traditional – it’s all sparkly and pretty (thanks to some pretty new paper – the Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP) AND cute – thanks to the not-at-all-scary spiders from the new Web of Fun bundle! Take a l00k-see:

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you had a good weekend and that the week is looking promising! This looks to be a busy one for us – dentist appointments – hair appointments – all the things! I bet you’re all busy, too! 😳
