Stampin’ UP! Take a Look at the Painted Skies Kit!

Posted on April 8, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! !! Hope you’re having a great week! I had a fun team meeting (it was Prize Patrol night) AND we had company last night so…our week is going swimmingly!!

We’ve got two new and beautiful kits in our Kits Collection this month! I’m sharing the card kit (the second is a cool scrapbooking kit) and it’s one that I was very excited to get, cuz it coordinates with the amazeballs new Scenic Coast Suite in the May-Aug 2026 catalog. You already know how much I lvoe that suite, so…yeah. This kit was on my gotta-do-it-right-away list. So – I did.

This is a non-stamping kit – and the nine cards are stunning tri-fold fun folds with beautiful die cut fronts. Take a look see:

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! 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:
