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:

Stampin’ UP! Seasonal Peace On Earth Book Fold Christmas Card with Video

Posted on November 9, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a good weekend. Today is get-everything-ready-so-I-can-“TRY”-to-fly-to-Las-Vegas tomorrow! I say “try” cuz…Atlanta and Las Vegas airports are BOTH on the reduced-schedule list. As I type this on Saturday night – there’s no changes to our flights but…anyway – I’ve got my fingers crossed!

My card today is a clean and simple fun fold. Which is NOT the oxymoron that it seems like it might be! It’s a book-fold card – which is so easy that it barely deserves the name “fun fold”! This one features the Peace on Earth bundle and some Peaceful Garden DSP. With an assist from the Seasonal Tags stamp set. Take a look-see:

Good morning – happy Sunday! Well – as always happens – this session of our Krew Retreat is drawing to a close today! 🙁 We’ll do our traditional picture on the front porch – eat one last meal together around the big table and then…off to the four winds we’ll go. It’ll be sad but…we’ve had the BEST time – and are already planning for NEXT YEAR!! Whoo-hoo! Amy and I are staying on (thank you for not kicking us out for these two days, James!) and will be joining our second group when they arrive on Tuesday! Have I said…WHOO-HOO!!

Today’s Christmas card (the next in this year’s Twelve Saturdays Until Christmas Series) is one I really love – it features the beautiful A Child is Born stamp set from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini – and is very much tone-on-tone in Pecan Pie and Basic Beige. Take a look-see:
