A Scheduling Note for March and April 2025

Posted on March 29, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – I’m typing this as I sit at the airport on Friday evening. After an unexpected phone call from my Mom – who has been fighting cancer – I’m headed to Colorado to be with her – rather earlier and more urgently than we’d planned.

I am truly not sure when I’ll be home – there’ll be a lot to do – so I wanted to just give you a heads up. But – until I AM home – there aren’t going to be any You Tube Live Videos or Zoom the Craftroom Sessions. For sure for the remainder of March and I am…guessing?…that will be the case for most of April, too.

Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms & Motifs Sneak Peek Thanks for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 27, 2025 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 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!

When I saw the sketch, my first thought was the pretty three-bloom image in the new Gallery Blooms set (available on 6 May in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog) – so…out it came! I added a frame, some foliage and a sentiment (from the Gallery Motifs stamp set – also available on 6 May!). Then I set the whole thing atop the also-new and also wunnermus Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Fun Team Gift Bags from OnStage 2025 in Raleigh!

Posted on March 15, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Hey y’all – well, here we go – it’s Saturday and that means the last day of OnStage! We’ve got a full day ahead of us of stamping presentations, make-and-take-ing, product previewing and lots of clapping. Cheering. And Chocolate.

Thursday night at dinner, I gave out some fun gift bags to my Crittters-N-Creatin’ Krew team mates who are here with me!

I used some brown paper gift bags from Amazon – but added a handmade tag! The You Are Remarkable stamp set and some Timeless Plaid DSP did the trick!

Posted on January 1, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Well – it’s here! It’s officially 2025 – has been for about 7 hours now! Did you stay up? Watch the Ball Drop??

We – did not. I DID have to go to the bathroom around 1am so…I made note of the fact that – whoohooo! – it’s New Years! And – we DID hear some gunshots and fireworks. So – pretty much an ops-normal New Year’s Eve around here!

We ARE going over to our friends’ this afternoon to have some burgers – and we’ll take the collard greens and black eyed peas (can’t be too careful about these things!). So – that will be nice. And then…on to see what the new year has in store!!

Now – to get us started off on the right foot – let’s….give away some goodies!

Posted on December 11, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwmp Day! I hope your week is going well – I’ve been baking up a storm – I’m behind in the Christmas-gift-gathering process this year so…I’m hoping to mask the paucity with baked goods and sugar highs! ROFL!! 🙂

You know we have a new catalog going live in January – but don’t forget that there are ALSO a ton of new Online Exclusives – and it’s a REALLY great offering! There’s even a whole SUITE of products – called the Mixed Media Florals Suite – and it is STUNNING! I used a few of the products in the suite – the Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels stamp sets (didn’t need the dies for this card – but they’re great!) and the Mixed Media Florals DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Reindeer Fun Card

Posted on November 6, 2024 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day – from Colorado!! It’s snowy here – and there’s call for more. It’s pretty but… I’m non-current on driving-in-the-snow (sheesh…I’ve completely lost my qual on it!) So – y’all think warm….breezy….clear and a million weather thoughts, okay?! 🙂

My card today has been brewing in my head since the first time I saw the cute string-of-stockings die cut in the A Little Bit Festive Mix & Match Specialty DSP. I paired that die cut with a fun piece of Reindeer Days DSP – and a couple of images from the Reindeer Fun stamp set. Take a look-see:
