I know it’s going to be fun – we’ve already gotten a really cool gift from them – and I’ll share pictures soon! So…I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve got in store for us! 🎉🎉🎉

My card today uses the so pretty Cottage Rose Bundle with the could-this-be-any-more-wonderful Abigail Rose DSP! And…we’ve got some amazing Natural Finish 7/8″ Ribbon from the suite – that you can color OR stamp!! Take a look-see:

Posted on April 12, 2022 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”! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

I decided that a flowery pretty card was just what the ladies would order, so…I pulled out a new bundle called…Sending Smiles! It’s in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and you’ll be able to get YOUR hands on it on 4 May! At the same time, you’ll want to pick up a pack of uber-pretty Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ DSP AND the amazeballs new Stylish Shapes Dies. Take a look-see at how I put them all together! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Blessings of Heart & Home Note Cards and Gift Box

Posted on December 15, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and HAPPY HAPPY HAWWWMP DAY!! I hope your week is going well!

Before we get going, I’d like to remind you about my Fundraiser for the folks so dreadfully impacted by this week’s tornadoes in AR, KY and IL. Scroll down to see how YOU can help – and see how to maybe win a brand spanking new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!

So for today, I’ve got a sweet little gift set for you – with a gift box and three little notecards & envelopes. I used the Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack and the coordinating Heart & Home Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the note cards. And I made a gift box for them by decorating a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box with a Blessings of Home Bundle image, sentiment and some foliage atop Heart & Home DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Ever Eden’s Garden Sneak Peek Arrow Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Posted on October 22, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Friday! My fave day of the week! Not cuz we’re headed into the weekend (although after working for 30 some-odd years, I DO still gaze at the next 48 hours of being “off” with affection!). No. It’s cuz this is Miss Sonya day! By 2pm – my house will be Finn-fuzz-free and smelling all fresh!

By 5pm …the Finn-fuzz with have returned. But boy do I love that 3 hours each week! 😂😂😂

If you were able to join me yesterday afternoon for my YouTube tutorial, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay – here ’tis!

And – I am not a dumb woman. I’m an engineer. But – the first few minutes…sheesh. My brain stopped doing math. Like…at all. So…bear with me, y’all! 🙂

This card is an Arrow Fun Fold, which seems to be all over the internet right now – but I used measurements from Lisa Curcio to get started.

This is another fun sneak peek of the Eden’s Garden stamp set and bundled Eden Dies – with the gorgeous Ever Eden Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

Good morning, everyone. It’s Friday – but…it’s hard to be happy today. My heart is breaking for the families of the Marines and Sailor who were killed yesterday in Kabul. My prayers for Peace are going to them and for strength and courage to the men and women who remain in harm’s way.

Okay. Shaking it off for a minute.

If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see how to make this card (it’s got some fun techniques in it!) – here’s the link to it on my YouTube channel!

Posted on July 8, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Our sketch struck me as perfect for showcasing some pretty Designer Series Paper, so I decided to pull out one of my favorites (that JUST SO happens to be ON SALE right now for 15% off!) – the Hand-Penned DSP. I used the coordinating – and equally gorgeous! – Hand-Penned Petals Bundle, too! Take a look-see!
