Posted on January 7, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning on half-way-thru-the-weekend day!! Are you getting back in the swing of the work schedule – where Sunday means…getting ready to go back to work on Monday? It’s always hard getting past the modified work hours and days of the holidays, isn’t it? Yes – even for us retirees!

My card today feautres another totes-adorbs new bundle – called Sending Love. It’s very cute AND sports a wonderful die cut mailbox (WITH flag!) and a little envelope and…well, a lot of other fun little details. I combined it with some FREE new paper – the Most Adored Specialty DSP – to make a fun welcome card. 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:

Posted on December 1, 2023 by stampsnlingers

Good morning on the first day of December! I hope your week has been a good one! Did you catch that first sentence? It is the FIRST day of December. Which means…there are 24 days until Christmas! Does that strike fear in your heart? Or…have you been “ready for Christmas” since July?! I’m somewhere in between – gotta wrap/pack/mail and then I’ll be ready to concentrate on the things that stay here in GA!

Or. We can all just escape to a villa on the Hills of Tuscany!

Yep – I worked on that line all day long! 😂😂😂

My card today is a sneak peek of the new Hills of Tuscany and some gorgeous Perennial Lavender DSP – BOTH coming soon in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog! And – I made a faintly Roman arch using the Garden Meadow Dies – available now in the Online Exclusives! Take a look-see:
