Stampin’ Up! Bokeh Friends For Life Happy For You Card

Posted on February 19, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope you’re having a great week! We’re bracing for more winter – at least that’s what folks are thinking. They’ve already gone to virtual school in some areas north of us in anticipation of severe winter weather. So…I guess I better make some bread, huh?! Maybe make sure the generator is ready to fire up – don’t want to have to make a run to Starbucks if it actually DOES get bad! 😳

My card today belies the fact that it’s still winter, in bright Daffodil Delight and Berry Burst – thanks to the Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ DSP. A heart and die cut sentiment from the Friends for Life bundle is a happy focal point! Remember these from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog?! 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:
