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. 🙂

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:
