Happy Happy Friday, y’all! Hope you’ve had a great week!

I ALSO took a minute to play with a couple of new goodies that you’ll be able to get on 1 Sept! TBH, the pretty Sunflower Fields DSP has been calling me since we got it on the Alaska trip and I couldn’t keep from using it! I added some beautiful die cut flowers from the coordinating Radiant Sunflowers bundle and…a couple other goodies – to make today’s pretty card! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Safari Smiles Fern & Flora Card with Video

Posted on May 24, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We’re just crossing off all the last minute things – oh, and treating Wayne’s poison ivy on his arms and back of his neck. He had to spend WAAY too many hours yesterday trying to get into an urgent care to get some meds. Poor guy! 🫤

Today’s card uses a super cute new bundle from the May-Aug 2026 Catalog – it’s called Safari Smiles and…it’s NOT just for kids! At least – I don’t think it is! I paired it with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder and some . Take a look-see:

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope y’all had a great weekend and came thru any weather unscathed! The middle of the country is really taking a beating these past few weeks! :). We’ve been fortunate so far – and I have my fingers crossed that we have a pretty uneventful tornado season!

Stampin’ UP! Velvet Meadow Opulent Oasis Card with Video

Posted on May 15, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Well – here we are! Friday! Whoo-hooo! I’ve got a busy day – I’m taking the kids to daycare today so they can remember what being there is like – and then I’m headed north for a hair cut! Which, given traffic in Atlanta – is almost a full day’s exercise!! And – is it my fault there’s a JJill right there by the hair salon?! No. No it is not! 😉

Today’s card is a look at a bundle I hadn’t used as of yet – the Opulent Oasis bundle! It’s one of our new Impressions bundle – with a big, pretty die designed to be used with our new Impressions Plate! I didn’t use that one on this card – I only needed some images and foliage die cuts to go along with the pretty Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP! Take a look-see:
