Pet Love Bundle, an Online Exclusive

Posted on October 12, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I have another project for you using the Pet Love stamp set and coordinating dies. Here is today’s project.

Today’s share was inspired by the card on the bottom row, center, of the photo at the top of my post. The Stampin’ Up! designers/artists are so very talented and inspiring, aren’t they?!

Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of this card:

Product List

[152392]
$28.00
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [ 149653 ]
[149653]
$140.00

When you die cut the ball it cuts out the lines and stars, so I cut one in Poppy Parade and one in Daffodil Delight and then assembled the pieces on my card using Multipurpose Glue. There were a few areas where I needed to add a trimmed down dimensional when the ball extended past the white tag. Everything else should be pretty easy to figure out, but if not feel free to ask questions.

Did you know that when you purchase stamp sets and their coordinating dies as a “bundle” you save 10% off the price of each product if purchased separately? If not, well now you know. (NOTE: This discounted bundle price is typically only available for catalog bundles upon their first publication in a catalog.)

If you need help placing your online order or have any questions regarding Stampin’ Up!, becoming a demonstrator, the benefits thereof, etc., please contact me by email or by telephone. My contact information is provided at the top of my blog.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

A Jolly Delivery

Posted on October 11, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend. Mine is good so far and am looking forward to seeing which team comes out as the victor after the clash between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners tomorrow afternoon. Afterwards my husband plans on “getting me out of the house” so who knows what will happen next.

I just finished another project to share with you tonight using another new stamp set from the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog. It is the stamp set Jolly Delivery from the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection which is an oh so cute collection of designer series paper, laser die cuts, a stamp set with bears, dogs and cats delivering mail and gifts, as well as coordinating die set that also has a large die to create an envelope box that will hold a small treat.

For my project today, I went for another quick and easy card, so I let the designer series paper and the laser die cuts do most of the work on this design. I used the card on page 28 of the mini catalog which is also shown in the top left corner of the photo at the top of today’s post. Instead of using dozens of laser die cut pieces on my card, I selected a piece of the designer series paper that was a pattern of envelopes to try and create the same look. What do you think?

I already had the stamped greeting as an extra from a recent group swap, so I elected to use that in place of heat embossing a greeting as shown in the catalog. As I said, I was going for “quick and easy” and I hit the mark on that for sure.

Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of this card:

Product List
Petal Pink 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 146985 ]

A Seasonal Tags Mix & Match

Posted on October 10, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I am sharing with you this evening a project I just completed using a new stamp set from the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog and the specialty designer series paper that I used in yesterday’s project. I wanted a project that was somewhat quick and easy, but with just a touch of elegance. Let me know if I hit the mark.

The center image is a panel from one of the pieces of designer series papers that has six similarly sized images per page. I attached it flat to the card front, centered, and cut two 1″ strips from another pattern for the sides which are also attached flat to the card front. I stamped the words “Merry” and “Christmas” from the stamp set in VersaMark ink and sprinkled with gold embossing powder, which I then heated with my heating tool. I trimmed the pieces down to approximately the same length and attached to top and bottom on card base using dimensionals. What do you think my final step would have been? Adding Wink of Stella, of course, to the candy canes and the holly leaves!

Here is a complete list of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of this card:

Product List
Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 102584 ]
[102584]
$14.00

$9.00
Paper Trimmer [ 152392 ]
[152392]

Eventually I will get around to making ACTUAL tags using the stamp set and designer series paper, but for right now I am having fun making quick and easy cards.

Pet Love Meets Jolly Delivery & Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper

Posted on October 8, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I am sharing with you today a card design that has been rattling around in my brain for about a week. I finally got it worked out and made it become reality this evening.

I used two different stamp sets (one which included a coordinating die set) and an incredible specialty designer series paper pack that contains great paper designs as well as some laser die cuts that would help making Christmas tags a breeze. I hope you enjoy today’s share.

I wanted a pet-themed Christmas card and had considered printing off some line drawings of dog heads to put inside the bandana or putting a few of the die cuts in as if it was a pet stocking but decided to just let it remain empty. The little red bow and the bells are two of the die cuts from the paper pack. Of course, I added Wink of Stella to the bow, the bells and the red berries in the garland.

Here is a more complete list of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the creation of this card:

Product List
Pet Love Bundle (English) [ 166032 ]
[166032]
$45.00
Jolly Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [ 165838 ]
[165838]
$21.00

[146988]
$14.00
Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 120953 ]
[120953]
$14.00
Christmas Tags & More 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper [ 165907 ]
[165907]

So how do you figure out your card designs? Do you just work them out in your head, or do you sketch them out on grid paper? Do you make a draft design using just plain copy paper, or do you just jump right in with the good stuff? There of course is no wrong answer. Everyone’s brain works differently, so your own creatively will not necessarily flow like your friend’s or fellow crafters. If your craft space doesn’t look like a tornado just blew through when you are done though, did you really go all in? (lol)

I truly love what I do and want to share it with you. If you have the desire to dip your toes into the Stamin’ Up! pool, don’t forget the Best Starter Kit Offer – Ever which ends on October 31, 2025.

Road to Christmas Kit & Last Day for Kits Collection 30% Off Sale

Posted on October 8, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. As promised on Monday (I think it was), I completed the Road to Christmas Kit that I received in my most recent order. I didn’t get around to photographing it until just a few minutes ago and wanted to go ahead and get it posted to prevent further delay in my share. (I even dragged myself out of bed after laying there for an hour without falling to sleep. I guess my guilt of not posting yet was getting to me.)

This is actually a ZERO STAMPING kit. Just bits and pieces of laser cut images to pop out of their frames and assemble as instructed to the card bases and top layer pieces. The instructions indicated that the portrait card with red truck in a field of trees (photos 3 and 4) was to include a Christmas tree and a dog (the kit included 8 of each piece), but the assembly instructions and the “how-to” video did not show where they were to be placed on the card, so I took designer liberties and added them where I thought they would have been placed. And, of course, since it is my nature to glitter stuff up, I added Wink of Stella to all of the trees on both cards and to the strings of bulbs on photos 1 and 2.

Unfortunately, due its immense popularity, this kit is once again in “Currently Unavailable” status. I have put myself on the notification list for when it is back in inventory. No actual date is known at this time.

KITS COLLECTION 30% OFF SALE ENDS TODAY, 10/8

Don’t forget all of the other fantastic kits that Stampin’ Up! has to offer which are currently on sale through today (Wednesday, October 8) for 30% OFF! You can shop the Kits Collection by selecting SHOP PRODUCTS, then KITS COLLECTION from the Menu.

If you have any questions regarding the products discussed in this post, or anything else related to Stampin’ Up!, please do not hesitate to contact me.

World Card Making Day 2025

Posted on October 5, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Yesterday, October 4, was World Card Making Day. To celebrate the occasion, Stampin’ Up! hosted a FREE online event featuring the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit. If you were not able to join this event, here is a “how-to” video from their YouTube channel:

I tend to create at a slower pace than the “experts” in these videos and I typically just watch first and then make the projects afterwards once I have digested their tips and tricks. I put the final touches on my kit today (assembling the box) after I watched the Cowboys game. Here are my finished items:

One additional step I added to each card, which does not really show in the photos, is that I applied Wink of Stella to each of the images on the card fronts. As a friend has described me, “I glitter the sh!t out of everything.”

Everything needed to create this project, except for the Wink of Stella, is included in the box, including the display box. This would make an awesome Christmas gift for that crafty person on your Wish List. The display box is very sturdy and will make a great desk organizer once all of the cards have been mailed to friends and family who need “a warm hug with a fold in the middle.”

If you have any questions or need help ordering this kit, please do not hesitate to contact me.

What did you make for World Card Making Day? Share your projects on my Facebook Business Page (link is provided in my blog menu, above).

12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar

Posted on September 25, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I am disappointed in myself that I broke my posting streak earlier in the month. I completely dropped the ball when trying to multitask my life.

i have decided to not participate in the Union Park Elementary Craft Fair next month because the extremely long hours of working at my craft table caused my back pain issues to resurface. I will have to find another option for selling the merchandise I made for the event so far.

My loss is hopefully your gain as I try and refocus my attention to the new happenings at Stampin’ Up!®️, one of which I am sharing with you today.

Today I am introducing the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar, a brand-new calendar full of products you can craft with all year long! Every day of this calendar contains never-before-seen dies, paper, embellishments, and even more items you won’t find in any of our catalogs or in our online store, so make sure to buy one before they’re all gone. And did I mention that these make the perfect gifts for that friend in your life who loves to craft? After all, there’s nothing better than giving the gift of crafting! There are only a limited number of calendars in store, so don’t wait!

This calendar project is only available while supplies last so be sure to order one for yourself and that crafty friend or two before they are sold out!

Thank you for stopping by today. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
