Stampin’ UP! Velvet Meadow Opulent Oasis Card with Video

Posted on May 15, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Well – here we are! Friday! Whoo-hooo! I’ve got a busy day – I’m taking the kids to daycare today so they can remember what being there is like – and then I’m headed north for a hair cut! Which, given traffic in Atlanta – is almost a full day’s exercise!! And – is it my fault there’s a JJill right there by the hair salon?! No. No it is not! 😉

Today’s card is a look at a bundle I hadn’t used as of yet – the Opulent Oasis bundle! It’s one of our new Impressions bundle – with a big, pretty die designed to be used with our new Impressions Plate! I didn’t use that one on this card – I only needed some images and foliage die cuts to go along with the pretty Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP! Take a look-see:

Posted on December 17, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Happy Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! Here we are – one week and a day from Christmas!! Whoo-hoo!!

I was asked a question the other day – being a horse-person, had I gotten the new Unbridled Beauty (an Online Exclusive coming on 6 Jan) and, if I had, was I going to use it any time soon!?

Doh! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Of COURSE I had gotten that new set – and of COURSE I needed to use it! So…I did!

I paired it with some Country Woods DSP – in the Annual Catalog – to make this pretty card – would work easy-peasy for a guy! – that is ready to send to a friend! Take a look-see:

Posted on February 6, 2025 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!

Stampin’ Up! Spring Corners & Butterflies Thank You Card

Posted on February 5, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope your week is going well – we’re having a few days of gorgeous weather – the kind that makes you think Winter is over! AND the danged seed catalogs are pouring in so…I’m doubly inclined to think the worst is behind us and start thinking about planting veggies. I’m holding myself back cuz…I know that Mother Nature is sniggering behind her hand and any day now I’ll be back in the insulated covers and unhooking hoses!! 😂

My card today actually features a sun that I made using the Spring Corners bundle – a very pretty Online Exclusive product! A kinda cool (and outside my “normal” kind of card) angled panel – embossed with Beautiful Butterflies – helps bring the focal point to life. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! More Love Notes & New Horizons

Posted on April 4, 2022 by stampsnlingers

Welcome back to the work week! Hope your weekend was good – and productive. We got a lot of plantlings planted – got a few more to go, but…we made a dent, for sure! I’ll post pics when we get it more done and looking all pretty and stuff! 🙂

When you spend much of the day (or two days!) in the garden – it’s good to have a simple card in your brain bucket! And – I did, cuz I’d been seeing this one since I saw the sketch challenge. I love the More Love stamp set – it’s got one. Big. Sentiment. And that is all! I added it to a pretty piece of New Horizons DSP and…done! Take a look-see:
