Posted on August 6, 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 theme 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!

It’s been a minute since I made a gate fold card so…I decided to go with that this week. I decorated my DOUBLE gate fold Christmas card with pretty much ALL the new goodies in the Neutral Noel Suite – coming on 1 Sept in the new Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog! There are two wonderful bundles – the Noel Tidings and Welcome Noel bundles, gorgeous Neutral Noel Specialty DSP and the awesome Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. And a few others goodies, too! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Hidden Slider Gift Card Holder – Three Ways for Christmas!

Posted on November 23, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey guys – happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is everything you needed it to be! We cleaned up the house yesterday so…I suspect TODAY will be my day for organizing in the craft room!

But – what I DID get done was…SIX super cute gift card holders. I love giving Gift Cards at Christmas – always the right size – the right color – exactly what they need! But…I hate just sticking it in a card. So I like to make fun gift card holders. The ones I am currently loving have a surprise hidden slider mechanism on the inside! I decorated them with North Pole Delivery Specialty DSP and the Jolly Delivery stamp set, Modern Christmas Specialty DSP and some pretty Ephemera, and Elegant Pines DSP with Delicate Pines sentiments and die cuts! Take a look-see:

Posted on November 11, 2025 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 Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!

I went all non-traditional colors for my card today – it’s sort of a throwback to the first Stampin’ UP! set I ever bought – Ornamental Pine. I saw a card on Pinterest with those pines heat embossed in white on a light purple card base – and…that was the beginning of my SU! journey! Today’s card uses the wunnermus Branching Out bundle – and the Traditional Labels stamp set for an additional holiday sentiment, Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Snowy Peaceful Garden Open Bay Window Card with Video

Posted on September 7, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope you’re having a good weekend! We got some rain yesterday – cuz of course. Since Wayne has my truck in…pieces is harsh. Not-quite-all-together? Like… if I need to go anywhere I have to take the BIG truck. Which isn’t my fave. And once it started raining – he sorta had to shut it all down for a bit. Hopefully it’ll be done by this evening!

So – for today’s card – I have a super cool (and really pretty easy, trust me!) fun fold that I shamelessly stole from my clever teammie Tara Carpenter! I changed mine up a little – it’s perfect for Christmas if you like – but…it’d also be great to just let someone know you’re thinking about them! It features a gorgeous die cut snowflake from the new Snowy Delights bundle – and pretty Peaceful Garden paper (both from the new Sep-Dec 2025 Mini). Take a look-see:

Posted on September 27, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! If you’ve been in Helene’s path – I hope this finds you okay. Or as okay as you can be. I’m typing this on Friday night and we’re expecting her to hit here sometime in the early morning hours. We’re as ready as we can be – the pony is in the barn – she’s not going to like the noise but…she should be safe. We’ll see what we see in the morning!

My card today is not even sort of scary or worrisome like hurricanes! It features a cute penguin and a pine tree from the Snow Wonder bundle – and some fun paper from the coordinating Snowy Scenes DSP. AND – it’s a super cool fun fold – called a double gate card! Take a look-see:
