Stampin’ UP! CAS Help Me Grow Lovely Blossoms Sneak Peek Card

Posted on February 9, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday, y’all! I’ve always thought that the day after Super Bowl should be a holiday. I mean – anyone who watches all the way thru – with or without libations! – is likely not at their best today, right!? Might as well just call it what it is! I DO watch – mostly for the commercials (but I did throw my hat in with the Seahawks early in the game) – and I might or might NOT make it ALL the way thru!!

Today’s card is a little sneak peek at a new bundle coming on 3 March in the March 2026 Online Exclusives. It’s the Help Me Grow bundle and it’s chock-a-block full of fun foliage! I paired it up with my fave Lovely Blossoms DSP and…a new embossing folder! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! A Rainbow of Thanks Sneak Peek Book Fold Thank You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 5, 2026 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!

When I saw the colors – I thought right off of the Easter Joy Specialty DSP and pulled it out. And then I realized that it was sort of a perfect color combo for…the new A Rainbow of Thanks stamp set (coming on 3 March in the new Online Exclusives)! So – I pulled them out – and popped them onto my fave fun fold for a quick and pretty thank you card. Take a look-see:

Posted on January 21, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwwmp Day! Hope you’re having a great week. We’re looking for a few warmer days – thank goodness! Well – Wayne and I are happy about that but…Cady and Finn…not so much!

Today’s card features a super simple layout that lets our gorgeous DSP do all the work! In this instance, I used my fave – the Lovely Blossoms DSP. And then, I used the Lovely Arrangements stamp set for the sentiment – and a pretty flower image! And don’t miss the Perennial Postage die cut mat! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Sunshine & Tulips Thinking of You Card with Video

Posted on January 18, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all! As I type this on Saturday evening we’re wondering if the snow will come this far north. Yes – this far NORTH! They’re calling for SNOW in south Georgia and the Florida panhandle! Which is a Big Deal (if it comes). It usually doesn’t last long, but…I’m sure there’s not a loaf of bread or carton of milk to be found anywhere south of Macon right now! 😉

Today’s card uses a sweet new bundle – the Sunshine & Tulips bundle (from the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini) – to make a card to send to a friend who might just need to know someone is thinking of them. Take a look-see:

Posted on December 18, 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 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 decided to make another Valentine’s day card for you (it’ll be here before you can blink!). Our sketch was perfect (IMHO) for the new Valentine’s Day stamp – coming on 6 Jan in the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I added the Made with Love DSP (also in the new catalog) – and some black (a fave with these colors). Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! CAS Thanking You Pine Tree Thank You Cards

Posted on December 15, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Monday! Well – the cold hit yesterday – with a windy blast of arctic air. So – the barn is all closed up – the plants in the garage – a heated water bucket hung on the outside gate so I don’t have to break ice in the trough in the morning. It’s going to be 19 – with a wind chill down to I-don’t-even-know. I can see all y’all northerners rolling yer eyes. 🙄 But – this is the SOUTH! So…that’s way too danged cold for this kid!

As I was looking at my list of thank-you’s that I need to send, I realized that this would be a good time to make a card that would easily make mulitples. I hit on the Thanking You stamp from the Annual Catalog and paired it with a tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings set. Add a double frame and…boom! Take a look-see:
