Posted on September 21, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday, y’all! Amy and I are up at Crafty Elk Lodge in the hiatus between our retreats this year. It’s quiet – and hot! – and we’re just chillin’ out with the resident pups, Poe and Cooper!! I think we’re going to go to the local apple spot and get some…well. Apples! 🙂

So – I had a card planned to share with you today but…on Saturday, a thing happened here at our Retreat. No worries – I’ll share that card with you on Wednesday.

We’ll have one last breakfast together and then…off everyone will go until we’re able to come back together again!! As always – it takes so long to GET here and then….poof! It’s done. 🫤

Today’s card is one that I love – I’ve been meaning to use the Baby Wipe technique with the new Elegant Leaves bundle and…I finally did it! I floated the leaves over a pretty Softly Woven 3D Embossed card front to make a clean and simple thank you card. Take a look-see:
