Stampin’ Up! Fully Flowering Layers & Labels Sneak Peek with So Sincere Card

Posted on April 10, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope your week is going well! We’ve been getting some rain – so…it’s nice cuz it’s knocked the pollen down some. I was happy that we got a clear day on Monday for the eclipse, though!

My card today uses some fun new products in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. It started with the wonderful set of ready-to-go-and-beautifully-decorated Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes – and then I decorated it with several elements from the new Labels & Layers Ephemera Pack AND the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack! I added a sweet sentiment from the returning-fave So Sincere stamp set. Take a look-see:

Posted on March 25, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Work Week. Sorry to jump right in with an oxymoron today! 😎

You guys all know that the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog are retiring soon! I’ve been “flipping” my craft room and was a little sad to pull the Inked & Tiled punch bundle and the beautiful Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ DSP (one of my FAVES!) off my active shelf. This is such a beautiful suite…and I wanted to use it one more time. So. I did! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Heartfelt Hexagon for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2024 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 color 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!

Our color palette this week aimed me at the Bee Mine DSP – not a hardship to use it again! It is SO cute! I paired it with the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to make a card for a special day. I made it as a birthday card but…I think it would also work for all sorts of occasions that need celebrating! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature’s Sweetness Hello Sneak Peek Card

Posted on January 3, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! So – I don’t know about you guys – but I have a really hard time keeping track of the days when there’s a holiday – especially a big one! – on Monday! I mean – keeping track of days is not easy in REGULAR weeks but – add in a holiday-on-Monday and…I’m a day late the rest of the week!

What I DO remember is that TODAY is your last day to grab those Last Chance Products. You might say it’s the Last Chance Last Chance! 🤷‍♀️

It’s ALSO the last day before the Jan – Apr 2024 Mini Catalog (and Sale-A-Bration!!) go live for y’all! Whoo-hoo! I am kind of assuming that the bundle – nay…the SUITE! – that I’m playing with today is on your list – hopefully near the top! It’s the Notes of Nature bundle and stunning Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Doggone Friendly Softly Sophisticated Sneak Peek Card

Posted on December 30, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Saturday! When you read this, I’ll be running around like a chicken with my head cut off – trying to get Cady fed, the Finn fed, my hair dry, maybe some make-up so I don’t scare Katelyn into going into labor…we’re trying to head south at 8. 😳😳😳. There’s a 60-40 shot that I’ll forget to take SOMEthing – regardless of my carefully built list. Fingers crossed!

And – while we’re talking about today and tonight – remember – there’s NO YouTube video tonight!! Which is why you’re getting a full-up card today and not a sneak peek! 😎

Speaking of…this one is a card that could be a Pet Sympathy card, or a regular sympathy card, or even just a “Hey – I’ve got you!” card! It features the new Doggone Friendly stamp set (coming on 4 Jan in the new Jan – Apr 2024 Mini Catalog) and the Softly Sophisticated bundle – a FREE goody during the Jan – Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration. Take a look-see:

I hope you’re recovered from The Big Day and The Big Day After! I DID go out yesterday but..not to shop – it was to take my computer in for yet another repair. Is there a lemon law for computers?? If not – there should be!! 🤷‍♀️

My card today is a sneak peek of a beautiful stamp set that you’re going to be able to pick up in about…a week and a half! Yep – on 4 Jan – the Enduring Beauty stamp set – there’s actually a whole bundle that includes dies and builder-masks! – will be available for you!

Posted on December 19, 2023 by stampsnlingers

‘Sup, y’all!? Hope your final week-of-prep is going well – whether you’re baking, wrapping or sitting with a cuppa something hot and watching the snow outside your window!

I’m deep into the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini and Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today’s card is a reflection of that – there are so many cool samples (those SU designers are TALENTED)! I used the cute new Bright Skies bundle (from the mini) and some Sunny Days DSP – which is a coordinating paper that will be gettable for FREE with a $50 qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration!
