Good morning – did you remember to set your clocks forward or…did you have to do it when you woke up? That always messes up my day when I forget – especially going this way – I feel like I lose an hour of the day in the blink of an eye! I much prefer to wake up with the time already changed all around the house! 🙂
My card today is a cool fun fold – called an Expanding & Angled Fold – that I first saw on Lisa Curcio’s site – and I think you’re going to like it! I made mine into a Gift Card holder – cuz…I always like to have a new way to give those! It’s decorated with the gorgeous Lovely Blossoms DSP and …the Friendly Foliage bundle. I turned it into a birthday card using sentiments from the Simply Said Mix-and-Match Stamp Set. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Tuesday! It’s 3 March 2026 – and there’s a bunch of new goodies – new online Exclusives, a new Product of the Month, and THREE new kits! – available starting today! Whoo-hoo! Let’s get right down to it!
But – to get us kicked off just right – I’m offering a Double Peppermint Ordering Special!
Good morning and happy Fri-YAY! Hope you’ve had a great first real week of 2026 – I mean – new catalog, new Online Exclsuvies, new Kits, new Product of the Month AND Double Peppermints?! Sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree…..
Admit it – you sang that last line!
Anywho – the fun continues! Today’s birthday card USES some of the new Online Exclusives – the Lovely Arrangements stamp set and the beautiful Lovely Blossoms DSP. All on a cool hidden gate fun fold card! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy happy HAWWWWMP DAY!! In case you’re counting, today is ONE MONTH from Christmas, y’all! To get in the mood – we’re watching a classic Christmas movie – Love Actually. Did you think I was going to say Die Hard?! 😂 I’ve seen bits, pieces and snippets of it over the years but…never actually watched it from soup to nuts! Interesting to see all the big names in their quite-a-bit-younger personas!
Today I’ve got another Christmas card for you – and it uses goodies you can get right this second – the Merry Christmas stamp takes front and center – but…gets a big boost from Christmas Greenery and Ornamental Christmas die cuts. AND – there’s a HUGE sneak peek at something awesome from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini (available to you on 6 Jan). Take a look-see:
Good morning! It’s T-3 Days to The Big Feast! I HOPE that you’ve gotten all your shopping done and you can settle in to cook and bake and…SAVE at Stampin’ UP!’s big Black Friday sale! That’s right – it HAS BEGUN!
With up to 40% off the most useful, needed, irresistible Stampin’ Up! products – at deeper discounts than ever before!
Good morning, y’all! Hope you had a good 4th of July – and a relatively quiet night! I gave the dogs a little Easy-Dog before it got too dark last night and…they did okay with the fireworks. And Cady was in her bedroom looooooong before they started. So – we made it thru night-one. I am CERTAIN there will be more tonight! 🤷♀️
But before they DO start up again – I hope you’ll spend part of your Saturday evening with me! I’m planning to go live with a cool card – that I hope you’re going to like – tonight at 7pm Eastern, on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel! Here’s a sneaky peek:
Good morning and happy Sunday! Just a note – today’s the last day of the Birthday Week Double Peppermints Ordering Special! Don’t miss out! 🙂
My card today is a cool fun fold – it’s called a Side Panel Tower Card – and it’s super easy! Which means you can spend your time decorating it. I’ve done that with the brand new – available on 1 July 2025! – Online Exclusive Rustic Centerpiece stamp set. There’s also some beautiful Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ DSP and some elements from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set – both available right now! Take a look-see:
Well – good morning! It’s Friday again – yeah!! Hope you’ve had a wunnermus week! 🙂 And that you’ve got something fun planned for the weekend!
My card today is one that’s right in my wheelhouse – lots of layers – and textures – and foliage! It’s all from the Charming Day stamp set and bundled dies, with Need for Tweed DSP setting the stage! Those are BOTH coming to you on 1 July 2025. Take a look-see:
I started by adhering a piece of new Need for Tweed DSP to the front of a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.
Using the third-from-largest Textured Notes die, I cut a Basic Beige rectangle. I wanted a longer, narrow rectangle so…using Paper Snips – I cut it in half.
I adhered the two pieces of the rectangle to the card front with Liquid Glue – making sure they were aligned with each other – and about the same distance from each end of the card front.
Using the second-from-largest Textured Notesdie, I cut out a Pecan Pie cardstock rectangle. This one I embossed in the amazing Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – and adhered with Liquid Glue.
I went back to the smaller third-from-largest Textured Notesdie to cut out a piece of Need for Tweed DSP – which I adhered (at an angle) with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Charming Days dies, I cut out two leaves from Old Olive, a flower (flower on a single stem with leaves die) from Old Olive and the same flower again from Petal Pink cardstock. Using Paper Snips, I cut the flower from the top of the Petal Pink die cut flower and adhered it to the Old Olive Flower.
Then I adhered all three die cuts to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used two lengths of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine to tie a bow and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock, I stamped the Charming Days sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. I cut it out with the next-to-smallest Textured Notes die and adhered it over the bow with double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added five Basic Beige Neutral Matte Dots and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the single flower image from the Charming Day set in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic Beige panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Charming Day flower on the front…
…and more of the Need for Tweed DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Oooooh – this card! I love the contrast of the delicate die cut foliage from Charming Day with the texture from the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the Need for Tweed DSP, don’t you?! I know you’ve got the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and Textured Notes Dies already. I mean…you DO, right?! 🤔 And I’m really excited for you to get the new Online Exclusives in July!
I hope you like!
