Happy Happy Hawwwwpm Day, y’all! I hope you’ve got a good day ahead of you!

Posted on September 10, 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 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!

For today’s card for a friend, I reached back a little to one of my fave suites – the Moonlit Flora suite and used some of the gorgeous DSP and the coordinating Fern & Flora bundle. AND – a little Swiss Dots hot foiling in….PINK! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! All Aflutter Foil Garden Card For a Friend

Posted on August 5, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! How goes the week – and the DSP and cardstock sale?! I know a bunch of you are taking advantage of that AND of my Embellishment Ordering Special! Yeah!!

Today’s card is the result of a question on my Monday Zoom the Craftroom. One of my friends wondered how a Hot Foiled image would do if it was dry embossed. Naturally, I figured the best answer was to…do one! So – I hot foiled a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock with the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die and then embossed it in the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder (a new goody available to customers on 1 Sept!). It worked – perfectly! I hated to waste the panel, though – so…I pulled out the All Aflutter bundle and the Spotlight on Nature dies and made a card! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Rustic Check Painted Pumpkins Sneak Peek Card with Video

Posted on August 2, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good half-weekend, y’all! Hope it’s going well so far. We’ve been sticking pretty close to home but…likely need to do some errands today so…. going to try to avoid our newest “diverging diamond” traffic pattern in town. Based on the videos I’ve seen it’s…maybe a spot to steer clear of ANY day but for sure on a weekend!

For today’s card, I pulled out another new product from the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog – the wonderful Painted Pumpkin bundle – it has masks, just like Frosted Pinecones does! – and the coordinating Painted Patch DSP and Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder. I think this Suite is going to be a fave, y’all! Take a look-see:
