Good morning everyone and 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?!?
A few weeks ago, I purchased a new Online Exclusive product called Feathered Flight. I hadn’t even mounted it yet – but…decided it would be a GREAT one to play with for our challenge today! When I paired it with some Let’s Go Fishing DSP, from the Annual Catalog, and made a front flap easel card with it – I was rewarded with a super cool Masculine fun fold. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Cyber Monday! Check out the Stamp-N-Storage sale today – it’s on top of the Holiday Sale savings (which also ends tonight) AND you’re going to score a free gift! It’s one day only, though so…you know what you need to do!
I’m a little embarrassed to tell you that I’m using the Merriest Trees bundle today. Yes, again! I love it and want you to love it, too! This time, I paired it up with a perfect sentiment from the Celebrate With Tags set (from the Annual Catalog!) and some Traditions of St Nick DSP – an Online Exclusive. Yes – I covered ALL the bases today! Take a look-see:
Good morning! Now – I don’t mean to scare you on a Sunday morning but…we are just ONE month – four weeks! – 29 Days – away from Christmas!
Yup.
Not even kidding! 😳😳😳
But – I’m still here to help you out! This week – I’ve got a super cute and super easy and super QUICK gift tag for you! Pull out your Merriest Trees Dies, some Merry Bold & Bright DSP and the fun Gift of Giving stamp set. Take a look-see!
Y’all – these are so quick and easy that you can knock out a whole passel of them in a blink! And – there are so many fun patterns in the Merry Bold & Bright DSP…
…you can mix ’em up almost endlessly!
I started by stamping the fun Santa image on a piece of Basic White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
When the ink was dry, I cut it out with the amazing tag die in the Merriest Trees Die set! I love this die set and bundled stamp set so much – AND it’s carrying over to future catalogs. Whoo-hoo!
While I had the die out, I cut the Merry Bold & Bright tag AND a Poppy Parade cardstock tag, too!
Using Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends, I colored the image.
Using Liquid Glue I adhered the tag to the Poppy Parade tag (to hide the bleed-thru from the Stampin’ Blends). Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the layered tag to the DSP tag at a jaunty angle.
It’s as pretty on the back as it is FUN on the front!
I added a tag hanger and bow from lengths of Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine.
Finally – cuz everything needs some bling! – I added a few Pool Party Glossy Dots – and the tag was done!
Et Voila! Tags are such a fun thing to add to our gifts, aren’t they? And these, with just a Gift of Giving image and some Merry Bold & Bright DSP, are…as adorable as they are easy! If you do NOT have the Merriest Treesbundle – just get it, y’all! It is SO good!
I hope you like!

Good morning and happy weekend to you! So – are y’all Black Friday Shopper-til-You-Droppers? I am NOT. I stayed home. I mean – I DID do a little shopping but…it was on the chair with my laptop! I stopped loving the Day-After-Thanksgiving “crush” a LONG time ago! Nope!
Now – you may find that the project I’m going to share with you this evening will be of some help to you as we get closer to Christmas!! I’ll be live with it at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel on this week’s Saturday Nite Live! And – here’s a sneaky peek at Saturday #5:
Good morning and happy Black Friday!! Are you still a little full from yesterday’s dinner? I know I am – and I can still smell the smoker when I walk by it – which makes me want another bite of ham. How can I still be full AND want a bite of ham?! 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Being Black Friday – there’s lots of good sales on and if you’ll read on after you check out today’s card – you’re going to see the Black Friday sale at Stamp-N-Storage, too! It’s a good ‘un! 🙂
So – card! This is a Christmas card with no front sentiment. Have you made any of those? I don’t do it a lot – but it’s fun every once in a while and sometimes a design really lends itself to that. This one, with some pretty paper from A Walk in the Forest DSP(retiring soon!) and trees die cut from that paper using the Merriest Trees die set (carrying over – along with the coordinating stamp set!) – makes for a quick and easy card! Take a look-see:
Hey guys! Happy Thanksgiving-eve! Are you doing all the cooking and prepping today? I’m getting BOTH my pressure cookers fired up for potatoes, making pimento cheese and deviled eggs and a pumpkin dessert. And Brussels Sprouts – using a recipe we had at our retreat (they’re so yummy that people who said – “I HATE brussels sprouts” went back for seconds!!). So – busy day!
Since I promised that our Thursday videos would showcase a new pretty from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…but we’re not DOING a video tomorrow – I decided to give you a sneaky look TODAY! And – I even did a short video, too!
For this one – we’re looking at the Painted Lavender Suite– the Painted Lavender stamp set and Perennial Postage bundle (one of my favoritest new things!). And the Painted Lavender DSP is…simply…stunning! Oh – and I used the Alphabet A La Mode dies from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog, too! Take a look-see:
Good morning – and Happy Halloween! Are you trick-or-treating tonight? Closing the door – pulling the blinds – turning off all the lights? Or…looking at a big bowl of candy and waiting for the ghoulies and ghosties to show up!? We’re doing none of the above – no sane ghoulie or ghostie ever ventures down our loooooooonng driveway in the dark! Not even for Reese’s!!
Just an admin note: today is not only Halloween but it is ALSO the final day of the World’s Best Joining Special (that’s not even an exaggeration!) AND it’s the last day of my Packaging Special! So if you’re that “wait till the last minute” person…guess what!? 😳😳
Now – since it IS Halloween I have a Christmas card for you today! Always looking ahead! This one is a bright and cheery little number showcasing the Wishes All Around stamp set and bundled dies, plus some fun Merry Bold & Bright DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning! Know what today is?? It’s Monday, yes. BUT – it’s ALSO T-1 to the END of two amazing specials! The first is the so-amazing-it’s-cray-cray Starter Kit special – be SURE to check it out down below and then…give me a shout if you have any questions. It’s such a great deal and there is ZERO down-side! I promise! The second thing – pretty awesome (but not as awesome as the Starter Kit special!) is my Paper & Packaging Special! You can check THAT out down below, too! Truth? I hope you pick the FIRST amazing deal! 😉
Now, my card for today! I decided to make a new baby congrats card – in preparation for needing one in January! (🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉) You know – cuz I need to practice these things! 😎 I used the Little Dreamers bundle and some pretty Countryside Inn DSP! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend – we have gorgeous Fall weather – it’s warm enough to keep the windows open at night and cool enough to keep them that way all day! I love it! And – there’s leaves on the ground EVERYWHERE – so…it’s got that Fall SMELL, too! My fave!
My card today is another one that you might decide you’d like to make to send out this year – and it features the wonderful Magical Meadow bundle and gorgeous Winter Meadow DSP. Y’all have told me you like Christmas cards that have a sentiment on the inside – like…”Merry Christmas” so…the Stars at Night filled the bill! Take a look-see:
