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!

Just watchin’ a litte telly.
Nah. Too boring!
Quick snooze with his toys while he rests up for bed!
Hey guys – just a quick farewell to Colorado. We’re in Kansas tonight and will head out in the morning.
Thought you might enjoy a view of the mountains that we had driving across the range from Bailey to Estes Park for my Mom’s service. It was my favorite kind of day in Colorado – scattered clouds flirting with the mountain peaks – with the sun going in and out!
Good morning and happy Thursday! So…we’ll be on the way home by the time you read this. Well – ASSUMING that AAA gets here soon and is successful in pulling our truck and trailer out of the mud and snow on the driveway. Yes, Wayne was tired and it’s slick as it can be. He’s beating himself up about it pretty hard so…I’m just typing my blog and trying not to think about how early we have to get up… And I didn’t take – and post! – an incriminating picture…I’m super supportive that way! 😉
I wanted to take a minute to make sure that y’all had seen our big Starter Kit Special going on for the rest of May!
Just a quick reminder that my Ordering Special is ending tonight!! Don’t miss out on a chance to gather up those peppermints twice as fast (yes – I AM a math whiz!!) and get you to that magical 16 peppermints (and a $40 gift of your choice from me!) lots quicker!

Just one last public service announcement….as we get close to the end of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog (ordering ends on 5 May 2025!) – we’re ALSO getting ready to bid adieu to the 2023-2025 In Colors. Hadn’t thought of THAT, had you?!
Good morning and happy Monday! If you have to go to work today – I’m guessing that darned alarm clock went off a bit earlier than you’d have liked this morning, huh!? It’ll get better – I promise!
To help with that – I’ve got a bright, fun card for you today – it features one of my favorite suites from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog – the Friends of the Ocean Bundle! I used…uhm…ALL the things in the suite! The Ocean Friends bundle, Friends of the Ocean DSP, Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder AND the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots! BOOM! Take a look-see:
Happy weekend, y’all! Last weekend before I head to OnStage next week! I am so excited to see everyone – our Krew is going to be well represented! And – speaking of…be sure to check below for my Video and Zoom-the-Craftroom schedule for next week, okay!?

Being that it’s Saturday – I’m planning to go live at 7pm Eastern tonight, over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel. I’ve got a pretty card for you – that I think you’ll like! Here’s a Sneaky Peek! 🙂
It’s 4 march 2025 – the day that you’ve been waiting for for a while now. There’s a LOT that’s today – so…you’d really best getcha a cuppa something hot and yummy and settle back. I have a LOT of wisdom to impart today!!

Good morning, again, y’all! This is my second post for the day – if you’re looking for my card for today’s Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop – here ’tis!
I wanted to let you know where we stand on the Greater Good fundraiser supporting the people and pets affected by the LA Wildfires (which are kicking up AGAIN today! 🥺). We’re doing really well – and…I have faith that y’all are going to bring it home!
FUNDRAISER FOR L.A. WILDFIRE VICTIMS
I set a goal of donating $2000 to Greater Good – targeted to the LA Fire efforts. As we stand right this minute – we’re sitting at $1727.76 (between direct donations and my 20% donation) – which is a so-close-we-can-taste-it 86.3% of the way to our goal!
