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:

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Planted Paradise Sneak Peek Thanks with Video Tutorial

Posted on December 29, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! We’re headed into the last weekend of 2023 – do you have big New Year’s plans? We’re headed down to visit Matt and Katelyn tomorrow – and take them their Christmas gifts. I’ve got a few frozen meals for them to put in their instant pot – I hope that it’ll help them when the newest tiny human arrives. Which could be any day now! 🎉🎉🎉

Which reminds me to remind YOU – that there will NOT be a YouTube video tomorrow evening – I’m just not sure what time we’ll get back! And – obvs – we won’t be having a Zoom the Craftroom on 1 Jan! So…next time you’ll “see” me is next Thursday for our After Lunch Bunch Video!

And – that’s a great segue into today’s card, as it’s the one we did on yesterday’s After Lunch Bunch. It features THREE new products – all of which will be available on 4 Jan! The focal point is from the Planted Paradise stamp set, with the Everyday Details and Mini Alphabet Die sets! And – it all starts with a little of the gorgeous Poetic Expressions DSP. 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!

Good morning everyone, on the day after Christmas! Welcome to the Fun Folds Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?

I’ve been wanting to play with a new bundle (coming on 4 January!) that isn’t my “usual” kind of thing – I don’t often go for cutesy things and cutesy cards. But THIS bundle I simply had to have. It’s the Submarine Life punch bundle! I used it – and some new Lighter Than Air 6″ x 6″ DSP to make a faux Side-Step Card! Take a look-see:

Posted on December 22, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday-before Christmas!

I’d had a request for a gift card holder idea for last minute Christmas gifts so…I SORT of did that for you today.

But the main one I want to share is perfect as a wedding or anniversary gift – it’s got a little Sneak Peek of the new Lifetime of Love bundle and Forever Love Specialty DSP – both coming soon in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog!

‘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!
