Flowering Zinnias Vines-Weekly Wed. #14

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Online Exclusives, Thinking of You / /

Hey friends, I am going to bring back my Weekly Wednesday video where I create a card with you, not live because I am too chicken and don’t really have the equipment yet, but you can create along with me weekly through my YouTube Channel. If you have been following me then you know that I have been featuring the new online exclusive Flowering Zinnias suite collection.

This is not featured in the catalog because it is an online exclusive and if you don’t want the entire collection, just pick and choose what you want. The Simply Zinnia Bundle features the stamp set and the dies while the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper pack and adhesive backed sequins can be purchased separately.

Today I thought it would be fun to create a card that features the leafy vine pattern in the paper pack. I paired it with a card base of Lemon Lime Twist with a little black border. Just like the little black dress in your closet makes you look fabulous, a little black border is just what this card needed.

And now today’s video:

Again the greeting is from Courage and Faith and is stamped with our Memento Black ink. I really love how well the Lemon Lime Twist matches this paper. Here is a closer look at the paper pack. Gorgeous!!!!!!!

Simply Zinnia Bundle

Leave a Comment / Online Exclusives, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Last week I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! featuring the Simply Zinnias Collection. Click here if you missed that. This is an amazing bundle and I have to admit the paper is pretty great. Here are just a few cards created by Stampin’ Up! using this collection.

I am usually not a sequin girl but I have to say they look pretty great on these card and really seem to add that needed pop! Did you know that you can purchase the colored sequins separately? I mean these are pretty colorful so you might need a second pack! Right?

Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins

These cards were all created using a little bit of everything from the collection. I am amazed at how detailed the embossing folder is. One of the tips Stampin’ Up! shared is to use watercolor paper with the embossing folder to get an even deeper detailed look. Very cool! Happy Stamping!

Ice Cream Swirl Bundle-Make It Monday #156

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos / /

As a kid living in Springfield, Illinois, I loved summers and my heart always skipped a beat whenever I heard the ice cream truck. Now Mom and Dad did not give us money every time, but when they did, it was such a treat. Now that the weather is getting warmer I thought if might be time for some ice cream.

Click here or the photo below to access Make It Monday #156 Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

Although the ice cream truck does not come around as often as it did when I was a kid, it does make an appearance in my neighborhood from time to time. I wonder if it still rolls around regularly in my old neighborhood in Illinois. It is hard to say because times are changing and kids just don’t go outside much any more.

You are Loved-Favorite Things Friday

Leave a Comment / Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards / /

It is so much fun to randomly bless someone with a handmade card and it is just one of my favorite things to do with all the cards I create for my blog. Is there someone in your life who might need a paper hug? It might be a close friend, a family member a neighbor or someone from your church that you don’t know very well.

When I receive a handmade card it always bring a smile to my face. So why not be that person who is committed to blessing others with a paper hug. After all, from time to time, we all need encouragement. The Perennial Postage set is the perfect set for blessing others and today I chose to focus on the You are loved beyond measure greeting. Who wouldn’t love getting that in the mail.

I started with a Calypso Coral card base and added a layer of Lost Lagoon. I had some left over scraps from the Artistically Inked pack of designer series paper so I cut those into 1-1/4 x 5″ strips and added them to my Lost Lagoon panel. I stamped my greeting with Lost Lagoon ink to bring out the color in my paper. Just add a piece of Basic White or Very Vanilla to the inside and your card is ready for those words of encouragement. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

You can shop 24/7 through my online store, just click here or the Shop With Me button at the end of the post.

My paper pack is on the way and I cannot wait to get crafting with it. Stop back as I am sure you will be seeing a project or two using this paper pack in the very near future.

Something Old & Something New

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing with you a card that I created using an old and a new stamp set. Planted Paradise is a set that was featured in the 2023-2024 annual catalog and will be carrying over to our next annual catalog. And the new set, Unbounded Love, will be featured for the first time in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog coming May 1st.

I used Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink for the potted leaves. This set does not come with dies so I did use my Paper Snips to cut out the leaf accessories and the pot. I used our Lost Lagoon cardstock to create my card base and stamped the potted planters with Lost Lagoon ink.

The greetings from Unbounded Love are stamped with Memento Black ink. I already love this new stamp set and I think you will too. It not only has some wonderful greetings but some messages for the inside of our cards, yahoo! Although the Unbounded Love stamp set is part of a bundle with some cool frames and florals, my greetings today are stamped directly to the Basic White panel that I attached to the card front.

Here is a closer look at today’s new sneak peek bundle.

Unbounded Love Bundle coming May 1st.

You can order this bundle beginning May 1st, so be sure to stop back and add that to your card on May 1st. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!

Planted Paradise-Make It Monday #155

Leave a Comment / Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You / /

Do you love potted plants? I do, I just cannot keep them alive, so I really love the Planted Paradise stamp set, it is totally safe for me. LOL I created three cards today with varying degrees of difficulty but all doable for the beginner stamper. All you need is a stamp set, some ink and of course our Paper Snips!

Yes, this stamp set does not come with a punch or dies and so it is a fussy cut project. Don’t worry, the images are all super easy to cut out and I cannot say it enough but our Paper Snips are the bomb and will make it so much easier for you, trust me! Actually don’t trust me, order a pair for yourself, try them out, and let me know what you think!

I just love it when it is time for a new annual catalog. I love that Stampin’ Up! discounts the prices for many of the retiring sets and I love introducing new product. Today, I am sharing with you the new Thoughtful Journey Designer Series paper and the new Simply Said stamp set .

Check out this gorgeous 6×6 paper pack!

For today’s card I used one sheet of the DSP and cut three strips that measure 1-1/4 x 5-1/4. I mounted them on a Blackberry Bliss card base and added a panel of Basic White to the inside. The greeting from the new Simply Said stamp set is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and cropped with the Perennial Postage dies. I added a bow of Linen Thread on the corner of the greeting.

And here are the greeting in the Simply Said stamp set. The paper pack, stamp set and many other gorgeous products will be coming your way May 1st when the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live.
