Good morning! Hope you had a wonderful weekend – and that the week looks to be a good one! This is the last few days of June and I hope they’ll be quiet ones for you!
In the spirit of being ahead of the game this year, I’ve got a Christmas card for you today! It’s got a sneak peek of the new A Stitched Season DSP and the Merriest Tags bundle – both new prodicts in the July Online Exclusives – and available in just a couple days on 1 July! Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! It’s the start of our country’s last week as 240-somthings! This time next week – we’ll be 250! Whoo-hooo!! Hope you’re planning to celebrate but…Finn and Addy hope that you WON’T shoot guns up in the air OR shoot off lots of really loud screamy things!! 😉
Today’s card has nothing to do with our 250th Birthday or…birthdays at all! It’s a fun Fall card – featuring a sneak peek at the new Fun for Fall bundle and 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP – both coming soon on 1 July as Online Exclusive products. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy weekend! Hope you’ve got something fun planned! This is a pretty quiet one for us – it’s going be hot-as-a-mo here so…inside in the AC will be the order of the day!
Thankfully, the house – and my craft room! – have AC so…I’ll be going live tonight at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel! I’ve got a fun card – with a sneak peek! – for you that I hope you’re going to like! Here’s a sneaky peek at the sneak peek!!
Good morning and happy Fri-Yay! I’ve been watching coverage of the Great American State Fair on television and am sort of wishing we were going to go this weekend – it looks like a great time! Looks like the state exhibits are pretty cool – using lots of virtual reality to give a peek at some of the sights and sounds in each state!! How about you? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? 🙂
Today’s card is a super cool fun fold – it’s called a flying seagull and – I think you’re going to like it. I’ve decorated THIS one with wunnermus new Violet Dreams DSP and the coordinating Framed Violets bundle. BOTH of which you’re going to be able to get in LESS than a week, on 1 July when the new Online Exclusives go live for customers. Take a look-see:
Good morning everyone! Welcome to this month’s Fun Fold 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?!?
We’ve got the cutest new stamp set coming in the July Online Exclusives (available 1 July) – it’s called Birthday Song and it was inspired by the fun birthday song that Stampin’ UP!® folks sing to each other at the home office! I used it – and some Beach Boardwalk DSP and Spotlight on Nature dies (both available right now) to make today’s super simple birthday fun fold. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend. The wedding yesterday was nice – if hot and humid – and we enjoyed spending some time with our friends – and wishing the new couple a long and happy life!
Today’s card is…not even sort of about weddings! In fact, it’s a Halloween card. This is a little non-traditional – it’s all sparkly and pretty (thanks to some pretty new paper – the Shimmering Stripes Specialty DSP) AND cute – thanks to the not-at-all-scary spiders from the new Web of Fun bundle! Take a l00k-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all – hope this finds you with a wonderful weekend underway! We’re headed to a wedding later today – it’s going to be hot and muggy. Very much hoping the rain gives us a break – since it’s outside!! 😳
Today’s Christmas card is a fun fold – it’s a Dutch Door fold. But…sort of “faux” – without the need for fancy Paper Trimmer work! This one is decorated with some wunnermus new Online Exclusives – coming on 1 July – called the Stitched Stocking bundle and the coordinating A Stitched Season DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy weekend! Hope you’ve got something fun planned! We’ve got a wedding to go to tomorrow but…nothing in particular planned for today. Just some playing-it-by-ear!
Regardless of what tune my ear plays, I’ll be going live tonight at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel! I’ve got a cool card – with a sneak peek! – for you that I hope you’re going to like! Here’s a sneaky peek at the sneak peek!!
Good morning, y’all! I’m typing this – fast as I can while I have batteries! – on Thursday afternoon, in a dark and quiet house! We lost power around dinner time and…it hasn’t come back yet! So…thank goodness for my phone’s hotspot and a pretty well-charged battery on the laptop!! 🙂 Hopefully we’ll get some juice back soon – cuz…we will ALLLLL be too hot to sleep otherwise! 😳
My thank you card today is a quick and pretty sneak peek of the new Simply Leaves stamp set and the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders! They’re both new – and will be available to y’all on 1 July as Online Exclusive products! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a sketch 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!
One of the best parts about getting home was being back in my craft room with my Online Exclusive pre-order!! Whoo-hoo! So – I pulled one out – the Festive Cheer bundle. And, while I was at it, some new 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP and the amazeballs new Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder. You’re going to be able to get ALL of these in just a couple weeks – on 1 July when the new Online Exclusives go live. Take a look-see:
And here’s our sketch!
I started by matting a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of the new Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP (available 1 July 2026) on a Basic White mat for the card front.
Next, I embossed a 3 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock in the new Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder (coming 1 July) and then matted it on Basic White and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the cool sentiment die in the new Festive Cheer die set (coming 1 July) I cut out the NOEL sentiment from Basic White cardstock. On another bit of Basic White, I stamped the ornament in Cherry Cobbler and the leafy fill in Peaceful Pine ink.
I cut out the ornament with the die in the bundled Festive Cheer set. I also took a minute to cut out a bow, “string” and ornament hangar from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper.
I adhered the ornament hangar and string to the top of the die cut ornament with Liquid Glue. When it was set up, I adhered the little bow with Liquid Glue.
From a piece of Peaceful Pine cardstock and Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper, I cut out two Festive Cheer pine boughs. I also cut out two Pecan Pie branches.
I adhered the two branches to the two pine boughs with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered the pearlized bough to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the stamped/die cut ornament in position on the card front. I snipped the “string” to length and used a little Liquid Glue to adhere it to the branch. Note: the photo shows BEFORE I did the snipping!
Then I adhered the remaining die cut letters in place with Liquid Glue.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the second completed pine bough to the card front.
I used the die in the set to cut out five Cherry Cobbler berries that I adhered with Liquid Glue.
I added four copper Adhesive-backed Metallic Gems (three to the card front and one small one on the stamped ornament in the sentiment) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a Festive Cheer sentiment in Peaceful Pine and a Cherry Cobbler bow on a Basic White panel. Across the bottom, I adhered a 3/8″ x 4″ piece of 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP with Liquid Glue.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Peaceful Pine card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the little Festive Cheer bow a few times in Cherry Cobbler ink on the front…
…and more of the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I know – I know! Its only JUNE, Mary! Not time for Christmas yet! But…these new goodies – the Festive Cheer bundle, 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP AND the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder – are going to be here SO SOON! Which means.. you’re going to want to grab these – and the rest of the amazing new things! – and get ahead on your Christmas Cards! Don’t we all plan to do that every year? This MIGHT be The Year! 😉
And – not for nothing… there’s “only” 190 days left till Christmas! 😉
I hope you like!
