Yes, you read that correctly, starting to morrow June 3, all available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off! If you’ve had your eye on a new suite from the annual catalog or you really like the look of a stamp set from an Online Exclusives suite, you don’t have to choose—you can get both!

A few details:

All available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off.
You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.
To maximize your BOGO savings, I suggest you purchase Bundles or Suites together. If you’re buying two Suites, skip adding individual items—like Designer Series Paper from a Suite—separately, as the paper may end up being the item that’s 50% off instead of the higher-priced Suite.

Pro Tip: Since the 50% off will apply to the lowest priced suite items in your order, It may be beneficial to place multiple orders to ensure the 50% off is maximized in each transaction.
The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart.
Remember, All products are available only while supplies last.

As always, I appreciate your orders! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Silhouette Five Minute Friday

Happy Friday everyone. I thought I would pop on with a super fast silhouette card for our Five Minute Friday series. I started with the 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Pool Party designer series paper from the Shades & Hues paper pack. I backed it with a Basic Black panel that measures 4 x 5 1/4 and mounted it on a Pool Party card base.

I stamped the flower from Gallery Blooms with Memento Black ink for the silhouette look. The greeting, also stamped with Memento Black ink, is from The Right Words stamp set. Add a little black bling and you are all set. I love the softness of the paper pack and am really sorry to see it on the “Last Chance” list. It is on clearance and still available. Just click the image below to shop with me before supplies are gone. Happy Stamping!

You Are Remarkable Weekly Wed. #55

Happy Wednesday or should I say Happy Hump Day?Not everyone remembers this term in fact, it is more of an American slang. Who knew?

The term hump is a slang expression commonly used to refer to Wednesday, the middle day of the traditional workweek. The 1950s was the first time when Wednesdays were called ‘Hump Day’. The term is believed to have originated in the United States and has been popular ever since. During the 20th century, Wednesday earned its reputation as ‘hump day’ as a way to inject some excitement into the otherwise monotonous work week. Clearly these workers did not craft for a living! LOL

Today our card was created using two online exclusive stamp sets, well, technically one stamp set and one set of dies, but hey who wants to be technical! I created our card today using the You Are Remarkable stamp set and the dies from the Textured Notes Bundle. You are going to love creating with these beautiful rectangles.

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Monday everyone! Today, let us pause from our crafting routine and our Make It Monday videos to honor those who have given their lives in service for our freedom

I think both President Abraham Lincoln and President Ronald Regan remind us of the need to be grateful for the liberties we all enjoy today.

President Abraham Lincoln in his  Gettysburg Address
“that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain”.

President Ronald Regan
“Today as we pay solemn tribute to our fallen countrymen we know we can never give them as much as they gave us, but we also know that our generation and succeeding generations can, by keeping the flame of freedom burning brightly, ensure that they did not die in vain. As you pay tribute to these brave Americans, may we always walk in the light of their memory the light of Liberty which shines from age to age and still illumines the way forward.”

Let us also remember and honor our loved ones who, though not fallen soldiers, certainly are fallen heros. May they and all the souls of the faith departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Soft Blending ~Five Minute Friday

Happy Friday! So glad it is the weekend and a holiday weekend at that! It is awesome to have Monday off and I hope to spend the day in my craft room. I hope you too can spend time crafting with family and friends this weekend.

If you do, try out this quick and easy card. I know it doesn’t look like a 5 minute card, but that is the beauty. It does not take a long time but yet looks like you invested yourself to create something beautiful. You only need a handful off supplies. So grab some black and white cardstock, a few blending brushes, an oval die and inks of your choice. I used Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue, Pretty in Pink, and Calypso Coral. Oh yes, you will also need some Memento Black ink for the image and greeting. I used the stamp sets Gallery Blooms and Simply Said.

To create the oval background, I first cut an oval from a 4 x 5-1/4 cardstock, any color will work you are just making a masking template. Next, secure the template over a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 piece of cardstock and use your blending brushes to create the background above. I started with the Gorgeous Grape and Balmy Blue at the top. Then I added some Pretty in Pink and Calypso Coral for the bottom. Play around with different colors to create your own unique background.

Here are the stamp sets I used:

Introducing two new stamp sets and a new In-color as we create a quick clean and simple card.

Of course you are always welcome to bling it up, after all what crafter doesn’t like a little bling, right?
