Stampin’ UP! Simply Beautifully Celebrated Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 5, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s 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!

Our color palette led me right to the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP – so…it made sense in my head to ALSO use the Beautifully Celebrated and Simply Beautiful bundles – all in the same suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I used them to make a pretty card to send to a friend. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Beautiful Gallery Prairie Grass Shaker Card with Video

Posted on August 8, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning everyone – and…happy Fri-Yay!! Hope you’ve had a great week!

Today’s card is one that…you don’t often see from me – it’s a Shaker card! I know! Whoda thunk it? But – I was working thru the card that was in my head and all of a sudden – it was totally obvious that it NEEDED to be a shaker! It had started with the Prairie Grass stamp set – a window sheet – and some Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP. And it ended up….well, take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Saturday Nite Live Video Sneak Peek for 31 May 2025!

Posted on May 31, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is shaping up to be a good one – and maybe a little drier – we had some rain (again!) yesterday but once it went on thru it was lovely and cool enough to open the house back up! Yeah!

So…YouTube and I had a bit of a mis-understanding yesterday (as many of you noticed!) and…it wouldn’t post the video of the A2 Sized Fan Fold Card that I did on my Thursday video and posted here yesterday. In the course of trying to fix it and get it to do right – I managed to lose the video completely. Poof! 🤦‍♀️🤬

BUT – to make up – I’m going to make ANOTHER A2 Sized Fan Fold Card TONIGHT! It’s a totally different feel – using different DSP and stamp bundles. And I’ll try not to mess up the posting of it to YouTube. So…I hope you’ll be able to watch that one!

I hope you’ll c’mon over, tonight at 7pm Eastern, to my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel for this week’s Saturday Night Live! Here’s a sneaky peek:

Stampin’ Up! MORE Beautiful Sympathy Cards and My Retired Shop is Updated!

Posted on May 20, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey guys! Well, it’s Tuesday and I’m paddling as fast as I can to get caught up! My craft room is…a disaster area! LOL! I’ve got old stuff – old old stuff – sorta old stuff – new stuff – really new stuff – and…everything in between! And it’s on nearly every horizontal surface! YIKES!

And let’s not even get into laundry – and unpacking from COLORADO! It’s a smidge cray cray here right now!

To try to help get the chaos under some semblance of control – I’ve been pulling things off my active shelf and getting them into my Retired Shop! Which is GOOD news for y’all! I’m still pulling and getting thru the discontinued list so…this is a REALLY good week for you to be checking my Retired Shop pretty regular! You’ll find gently used items – that are at half of their regular “new” prices – with flat rate shipping! You pay the same whether you buy one thing or…ten!

Stampin’ Up! Aspens in Mountain Air Very Best Occasions for the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge!

Posted on July 7, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Good morning – again! I’ve got a second card for you today, cuz…I was really honored to be selected as a Guest Designer over on one of my fave challenges – the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! So…if you were here looking for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and the card I shared for IT – here ’tis! 🙂

The elements of the challenge worked well for a sympathy card I had in my head, so…I pulled out the Mountain Air stamp set from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and then used the cool Aspen Tree Dies, with a Very Best Occasions sentiment, to complete the card. Take a look-see:

This is one of those flyover sets you’ve heard me talk about – easy to miss! But…if you like having a solid (and pretty!) “get well soon” option in your tool chest – then give this one a look-see!
