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 Brushed Friendly Foliage Thinking of You Card

Posted on January 5, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday, y’all! We’re enjoying a few days of sun and pretty weather – cool enough for a jacket but…not bad at all! We’ve got the barn opened all the way back up – Cady is too hot again – there’s no middle ground for her in the winter – she’s comfortable (when we have our covers on) or sweating (when our toes, fingers and noses aren’t frozen!). 🤷‍♀️

My card today is a CASE of a pretty card I saw on Pinterest – from Australian demonstrator Nancy Hoetker! I loved it, so…did my own take on it. It features two of my favorite Online Exclusives – the Friendly Foliage bundle and Brushed With Beauty DSP. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Saturday Nite Live Video Sneak Peek for 3 Jan 2026!

Posted on January 3, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning on this first Saturday of 2026! Ours is going to be chilly and cloudy and even sorta rainy. Not sure what our plan is today – we took the tree down yestedray (making Christmas “officially” over at our house) – so we’ll likely let the rain drive the plans! We DO have a new Whataburger open right around the corner so….hmmm. Maybe lunch?

Regardless of what we do – or DON’T do – today…I’ll be live on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel at 7pm Eastern. I’ve got a pretty card for this first live of the year – with a sneak peek at some new goodies! – that I hope you’re going to like. Here’s a sneaky peek at the sneaky peek!

Posted on January 2, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! Hope your week has gone well – and that you’ve got something planned for the weekend! Even if it’s just chillin’ at home and recovering from the holidays. Maybe un-decorating!? That’s my plan, for sure. 🙂

Today’s card is a flashback fun fold – I did one like this several years ago. It’s a Locking Mechanism Gate Card – and I did a little refining from my original! For today’s, I’ve got a sneak peek of some products that you’ll be able to get next week in the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog! The Easter Basket bundle and coordinating Easter Joy Specialty DSP are darling – and will get you in the mood for Spring! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! December 2025 Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin and a Peek at the January Kit!

Posted on December 31, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! AND – happy NEW YEAR’S EVE!! I don’t know about y’all but…other than listening to our neighbors do fireworks – and occasionally shoot a rifle up in the air (do NOT get me started on the absurdity of THAT practice!) – we barely notice the changing of the year. Would like to say that we USED to stay up and party and all that but…I’d hate to lie to you! We sleep right thru it. Unless I have to get up to go to the bathroom and that happens to coincide with the striking of midnight!! LOL

Yes. We’re boring ole fuds. It is what it is! 😉

A little while back, I got my December Watercolor in Bloom Paper Pumpkin kits in the mail. I’d seen a few photos of what was in the kit, so I made one up right away – and it didn’t disappoint! It’s gorgeous – in Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Secret Sea and more! I got nine beautiful thank you cards in a jiff! Take a look-see:
