I pulled out a couple of obvious – SUMMERY – choices! A sunburst design from the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP and the beach-ready Notes & Totes Bundle make for a bright note card with a seaside-vibe. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Pretty Petals Linked Together Card

Posted on March 24, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Well – good morning on Monday! I hope you had an awesome weekend and that your week – at work or otherwise! – is looking to be a good one!

My card today features a couple of things that are leaving us soon! 🥺 We all know that the 2023-2025 In Colors will be retiring soon and, for a lot of folks – there’s a lot of sadness over that – especially over losing Boho Blue! And the Pretty Petals stamp set and bundled dies are on the Last Chance chance list which means THEY’RE leaving, too! I grabbed a two-step sentiment from the Linked Together stamp set and used some of my favorite paper – the Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ DSP (these are in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini!). Take a look-see:

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well! Are you enjoying the new Online Exclusives and the new kits? I ordered both kits yesterday and should get them soon – can’t wait to dive into them, cuz they look gorgeous!

My card today is one of those new Online Exclusives – the Framed Scenes bundle – and I use it to make a cool, quick and easy card – perfect for anyone but…ALSO a great choice if you need a masculine card!

Stampin’ Up! Bokeh Friends For Life Happy For You Card

Posted on February 19, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope you’re having a great week! We’re bracing for more winter – at least that’s what folks are thinking. They’ve already gone to virtual school in some areas north of us in anticipation of severe winter weather. So…I guess I better make some bread, huh?! Maybe make sure the generator is ready to fire up – don’t want to have to make a run to Starbucks if it actually DOES get bad! 😳

My card today belies the fact that it’s still winter, in bright Daffodil Delight and Berry Burst – thanks to the Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ DSP. A heart and die cut sentiment from the Friends for Life bundle is a happy focal point! Remember these from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog?! Take a look-see:

Posted on January 16, 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 pulled from three places for this card today! The Everyday Arches Die set – an Online Exclusive – perfectly frames the fun Shadowed Shapes image and sentiment (Jan-Apr 2025 Mini). Floral Delight DSP (also from the Mini) is a great starting point and the Corner in Bloom stamp set (Sale-a-Bration freebie) – finishes it off! Whew! But – it all comes together like it was…meant to be! Take a look-see:
