Stampin’ UP! Endless Love Notes Valentine’s Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 8, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday – the FIRST one of 2026!! And that makes it time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color 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!

I got a cool card in the mail the other day, from one of my teammates. It reminded me how much I like “inchie” cards. She’d taken it up a notch, using black sqaures to make the card front look dimensional. So – I shamelessly copied the idea to make today’s Valentine’s Day card with the Endless Love stamp set and some Love Notes Mix & Match DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! CAS Thanking You Pine Tree Thank You Cards

Posted on December 15, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Monday! Well – the cold hit yesterday – with a windy blast of arctic air. So – the barn is all closed up – the plants in the garage – a heated water bucket hung on the outside gate so I don’t have to break ice in the trough in the morning. It’s going to be 19 – with a wind chill down to I-don’t-even-know. I can see all y’all northerners rolling yer eyes. 🙄 But – this is the SOUTH! So…that’s way too danged cold for this kid!

As I was looking at my list of thank-you’s that I need to send, I realized that this would be a good time to make a card that would easily make mulitples. I hit on the Thanking You stamp from the Annual Catalog and paired it with a tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings set. Add a double frame and…boom! Take a look-see:
