Stampin’ Up! Fern, Flora & Perennial Postage Thank You Card with Video

Posted on May 29, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! We’ve been having a nice visit around the peninsula – went up to Sequim and to Port Angeles. Took some detours here and there – generally played tourist! It’s been really nice! I hope your week has been going as well as ours!

Today’s card is from one of my fave Suites – the Moonlit Flora suite. The gorgeous paper with the same name and all the die cuts and images and sentiments from the Fern & Flora bundle just make me happy! I also used the Perennial Postage set – which is ALSO one of my faves! Take a look-see:

Posted on May 28, 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!

I pulled out the Bloom Boutique suites for this week’s hop – the color challenge demanded it of me – and turned it all into a pretty thank you card. I used both of the bundles in the set – the Boutique Blossoms for the stamped and die cut foliage AND the Scalloped Blooms stamp set for the sentiments. Take a look-see:

Posted on May 26, 2026 by stampsnlingers

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?!?

I went back to a fun fold that I really like – it’s got two of my fave things – a book fold AND a gate card. It’s called – cleverly enough! – a book fold gate card. I know! Innovative! This one I decorated with the cool looking (and feeling!) Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP! And I added a pretty floral (or three!) from the Garden Gatherings bundle! Take a look-see!

Stampin’ Up! Safari Smiles Fern & Flora Card with Video

Posted on May 24, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is going well! We’re just crossing off all the last minute things – oh, and treating Wayne’s poison ivy on his arms and back of his neck. He had to spend WAAY too many hours yesterday trying to get into an urgent care to get some meds. Poor guy! 🫤

Today’s card uses a super cute new bundle from the May-Aug 2026 Catalog – it’s called Safari Smiles and…it’s NOT just for kids! At least – I don’t think it is! I paired it with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder and some . Take a look-see:

Posted on May 21, 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 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!

I decided to play a bit with the sketch and turn it into a fun fold. A super SUPER simple one!

Additionally, I pulled the All Aflutter stamp set to make this pretty thank you card! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! Take a Look at the Pretty Party Kit!

Posted on May 20, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! As I predicted last week – THIS week is….CRAAAAAZY! It’s the final few days before we head west and I’m. behind. WAAAY behind. Or – at least it feels that way. You know that feeling? Where you cross one to-do off the to-do list and then add three to-do’s that still need to be to-do’d?? Yeah. That’s where I’m sitting!! AND – all while trying to ACT like all is normal so that Finn and Addy don’t start to get worried. The struggle is real, y’all!

So – again as I said I would last week, I’m bringing a little calm in the storm. That’s how kits have become for me. When my mojo is tired – I can pull out a kit and just…make. I usually do it while I’m on a Zoom the Craftrrom chatting with friends! Which is exactly what I did with the Pretty Party kit! When I was done making and chatting I had nine fun cards made and ready to go!
