A Festive Friends Snowman

Posted on November 3, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and didn’t overindulge on the candy you bought for the trick or treaters. We didn’t buy candy this year because we always end up with so much left over. Our barking dogs tend to scare the littles away from our doorstep and if we were to just leave a bowl out, history has shown in our neighborhood that the entire bowl (including the bowl itself) gets taken by one person or group.

Since I am continuing to try to organize my crafting space, I am sharing with you another Connect & Create group swap card. I need to get faster at my organizing because I am almost out of cards to share with you!

I have one card to share with you today created by Amber Frost. She is another member of our family that I am not all that familiar with (yet) and she did not include here location on her information. She used the Festive Friends Bundle, one of the Online Exclusives, and her card is super cute:

This product bundle is one I have not yet purchased. I have added it to my cart a few times (and just added it once again) but remove it when I come across something I NEED just a little bit more.

Amber did not list her supplies, but I am going to take a guess at what she used and provide you with thumbnail links in case you want or NEED to add any of these items to your Online Shopping Cart:

Autumn Toile & Gather Together Suites

Posted on November 2, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I had a little dilemma today on deciding which product suite I was going to select as the focus of this post. I finally decided I really couldn’t choose just one since the cards I wanted to share all used elements of multiple suites and/or product bundles. So here we are — two Suite Collections and a Stamp and punch bundle all in one post!

The first card I am sharing was created by Leslie Bumgarner from Norman, Oklahoma. Leslie is a level above Amy Storrie, my direct upline, and one level beneath Jann McCollom. These three wonderful leaders are the backbone of our Connect & Create group and I love them each dearly. Here is Leslie’s card:

Leslie appears to have used the Gathering Together Suite Collection for the majority of the design of her card. Unfortunately, I do not recognize the die she used to create the frame in Cajun Craze around the green piece of DSP.

The next card I am sharing with you was created by Katie Gordon from Kansas City, Missouri. I do not know Katie personally, but her artwork is impeccable. She appears to share my love for Wink of Stella since she has added this glittery wonder to the acorn and leaves below the greeting tag.

Katie used products from both product suites in the design of her card. The embellishments, Gold Weave Ribbon, and the stamped greeting are from the Autumn Toile Suite Collection. I believe everything else is from the Gathering Together Suite.

The third card I am sharing with you today was created by Socorro Gonzalez-Brey from Mesquite, Texas. Socorro is a dear friend of mine and is usually my travel companion or roommate when we both travel to out-of-town Stampin’ Up! events. Here is her card:

Socorro used the Amber Trees Bundle from the Autumn Toile Suite to make her card. The greeting on the tag is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. She used linen thread underneath the tag and used Gold Embossing Powder with Versa Mark Ink which was then heated to create the tag. It also appears that she used brushes or daubers to watercolor the canopy of the tree.

The fourth card I am sharing with you today was created by Susan Starnes from Sanger, Texas. Susan is another team member I do not know yet, but hopefully we will become familiar with each other as we participate in group meetings and events. Here is Susan’s card:

Susan used the Amber Autumn Bundle from the Autumn Toile Suite. The greeting on the tag is from the Branching Out stamp set. She colored the pumpkins using Stampin’ Blends and added sparkle with my favorite Wink of Stella.

Last, but not least, is the fifth card created by Kathy Regan. Kathy is another team member I am not familiar with and she did not include on her card label where she lives so I have nothing else to share about her right now. Again, I hope to get to know her better soon. Here is Kathy’s card:

Surprise! Not only did Kathy use elements from the Suites she also used the Fluffy Squirrel Bundle in the creation of her card as well as the Everyday Arches Dies. That is one cute little squirrel!

A Modern Christmas Season

Posted on November 1, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. As I continue to work on cleaning my crafting space I will be sharing with you the cards I received from the Connect & Create group swap (my family of sister demonstrators). Today’s cards feature products from the Modern Christmas Suite Collection and are designed by my upline, Amy Storrie, and Jann McCollom. Jann has been a demonstrator for the longest in our family and sits at the top of our group.

Here is Amy’s card:

All the products used in her card are included in the Suite, with the exception of the card base which looks to be Granny Apple Green (#146990). It also appears that she stamped the greeting in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and added Flower Accents Embellishments.

And here is Jann’s card:

While Jann used the Designer Series Paper from the Modern Christmas Suite Collection, she used a different stamp set and die bundle for her Christmas tree – Pine Tree Trimmings.

It appears that Jann used Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin’ Pad for the Christmas tree and the card stock colors are Basic Black (#121045) and Basic White (#166780). Lastly, she used the Real Red Shiny Ribbon (#165876), Delightful Decorative Dots Embellishments and the Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine also from the Modern Christmas Suite Collection.

If you would like to order all or some of these products, below are thumbnail images that will make adding them to your shopping card quick and easy:

Traditions of Christmas Gate-Fold Card

Posted on October 31, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I am sharing with you today my absolute FAVORITE card that I received as part of the group Connect & Create swap this month. This card was created by Glenda Kay Hennick of Blanchard, Oklahoma. I am referring to it in this post as a “Gate-Fold” card, but honestly it is more than that. Perhaps we need to call it a “Panoramic Gate-Fold” card? What would you call this design?

Here is Glenda’s card:

Glenda used the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection in the creation of her card. Unfortunately, the Specialty Designer Series paper is currently out of stock, so the Suite and the DSP is not available t0 purchase at this time. As I have mentioned before, you can go to the Online store and enter your email address on the product pages for these items and you will be notified once they are back in stock.

While I do not have the entire Suite, I did place an order earlier for the DSP and have one package on hand. I just placed another order for the Stamp Set and Die bundle so I can make something similar using the dies. Yes, they cut out the gold images on the DSP!

If you have any questions regarding the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Kit Along with Painted Wishes

Posted on October 30, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. One of the many things I love about being an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is the FREE training events they offer through their Facebook Live videos and Zoom meetings.

Last night a Virtual Kit Together event was held through Zoom for demonstrators in the United States (and was repeated again this morning) and many more are being offered in the countries that now also have demonstrators (Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Austria and the Netherlands – possibly more).

There will be a new Challenge for all demonstrators starting November 4, 2025 (and I will say more about it at that time) and this training was to help us reach some very reachable goals.

During the virtual training, we were encouraged to have a kit that we could work on while participating in the training. Everyone’s choice was different, of course, but several people picked the same one I chose – Painted Wishes Kit. And the great news about this kit is that it is NOT out of stock AND it requires ZERO stamping.

Here are the completed cards:

If you have been following me for any length of time, then you KNOW that I added Wink of Stella to the card fronts. For this particular kit, I added it to the large pink flowers on two of the cards, and then the yellow leaves and splatters on the card that just has leaves. This was my only alteration to the kit. Everything else was included in the box – and this kit is only $15.00!

If you’re looking for a way to spread love and kindness around you, then the Painted Wishes Kit is what you need! Rich in watercolor designs, colorful florals, and heartfelt greetings, this kit includes the supplies to create nine all-occasion greeting cards that will make kind words flourish all around you! It also includes printed sentiments in English, French, German, and Dutch.

Kit includes:

  • Predesigned projects
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
  • Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs
  • Folded card size: 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ (14 x 10.8 cm)
  • 9 preprinted envelopes
  • Gold & Pretty Peacock foiled labels
  • Pretty Peacock sequins
  • Gold cord
  • Enough adhesive to complete projects

Product colors: Garden Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Moody Mauve, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat

Kits by Stampin’ Up! are perfect for new crafters, busy crafters, or crafters who want quick and easy projects. All-inclusive project kits have everything you need in one box! Give as a gift or try them yourself.

Kits are while supplies last. Order today!“

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 Special Delivery Swap

Posted on October 27, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I have been busy with the never-ending task of trying to clean and organize my crafting space. Sadly, I appear to be running on a hamster wheel as I “find” things I forgot I have. Who else can identify with me?

A few weeks ago, I participated in a group swap with our Connect & Create family of demonstrators and received back my collection of cards this past weekend. So I can finally share my project with you, as well as a project from another participant who used the same suite of products that I used.

Here is my card:

The following card was created by Linda Blackman. She used one of the laser die cuts from the specialty DSP pack for the dog on her card. I have not identified the stamp set for the greeting, but it should be either in the Holiday Mini or an Online Exclusive set since that was to be our selection of products.

The North Pole Delivery Suite Collection is a lot of fun to create projects with. If you have small children or grandchildren, image how cute Letters to Santa would be! And you can make more than just cards. I have not been a big scrapbooker (yet), but this suite would make for some really amazing layouts. Don’t you agree?

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

A Calm & Bright Christmas

Posted on October 24, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I have been working on today’s share of the Calm & Bright Kit for more than three days and I finally finished today. Thank goodness! I don’t know if my old age is finally slowing me down or if the multitude of pieces in this kit made it very time consuming. Either way, this kit takes a bit of time and commitment to complete, but I truly believe the finished cards are well worth the effort.

One thing to note. If you received a kit from the first release of this kit, your instructions will show that it comes with a Gray Granite ink spot and the artwork also reflects this color. Actually the kit includes a Lost Lagoon ink spot. On some of my cards, I used both colors or just the Gray Granite as I preferred the understated tone. You should never feel like you must follow the instructions to the letter. There is always room for creative expression.

Here are my completed cards:

The Calm & Bright Kit includes enough supplies to make nine cards, three each of three designs:

And as with almost every kit by Stampin’ Up!, it includes both a clear acrylic block (shown above) and stamp set as detailed below:

Unfortunately, due to its popularity, this kit keeps going into “currently unavailable” status. You can request to be notified by email through the Online Store when the kit is back in stock.

For a quick peek at assembling this kit, here is the how to video:

A Cozy Christmas by Paper Pumpkin

Posted on October 22, 2025 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. I apologize for my absence. I was sick with that nasty stomach virus that is going around here in Texas and haven’t felt well enough to craft while recovering. I can say that today’s share is the longest amount of time I have spent working on one kit – ever!

Today I am sharing with you the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas. This kit requires a lot of piecing together of laser cut die cuts to build your card elements. The laser die cut pieces include velvet “flocking” that is to die for. Ok, enough jibber jabber:

This kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs. There is also a coordinating set of dies.

A REFILL kit has just been released which will include everything EXCEPT the stamp set in case you missed this kit and “need” one. You can find it HERE, but you must be a subscriber to Paper Pumpkin in order to order these kits.

To become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, click HERE and follow the steps.

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.
