Blessed By Cards w/Renae Novak

Seasons of Celebration Ephemera~Weekly Wed. #118

Happy Wednesday. I am excited to share with you some tags that my dear friend and fellow demonstrator created for me. Thank you Becky you are so very talented. Thank you for sharing your Ephemera and paper pack with me. I had fun creating and can’t wait to share the cards I made with you all next week. These tags were created using the Seasons of Celebration Mix and Match Ephemera pack and the Creative Celebrations Mix and Max 6 x6 DSP.

Creating these is super easy with the Season of Celebration Ephemera pack! Since we created so many tags and chances are yours will turn out differently, I did not create a project sheet. The only addition made to these tags was the cardstock backing. The rectangle backs measured 1-3/4 x 3- 3/4 and as seen in the video the last few tags were backed with cardstock cut from Everyday Arches.

I hope you have fun creating. Stop back next week for some creative cards using this Ephemera pack and the Creative Celebrations Mix and Match 6 x6 designer series paper pack. Happy Stamping!

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

Scrap Mania Part Three~Make It Monday #281

Leave a Comment / Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos / October 26, 2026 / fun with paper scraps, utilize paper scraps

It is time for more fun with scraps. We all have them. It is nothing to be ashamed of, but we do need to get them organized and use them to create amazing cards. I am excited to share with you part three of our Scrap Mania series. I do hope this series has inspired you to get crafty with those unused scraps.

This has been a fun and challenging series and I am very pleased with the way my cards turned out. Sometimes the best part of creating is challenging ourselves to create something unique and different. Although I love purchasing new paper packs it is always a win/win if we can use things in our stamping stash.

Make It Monday #280 Scrap Mania Part One

Leave a Comment / Christmas 2026, Designer Series Paper, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques / October 19, 2026

Happy Monday all and a happy one it is because today, we are going to go through our designer series paper scrap stash and get crafty with our scraps. This is Part One of a three part series (I hope) that will inspire you to create some beautiful card fronts using scraps you already have. No need to purchase anything. I do have a list of the supplies I am using in the project sheet, but really the idea is to create with what you have. I challenge you to go through your scrap bin and get crafty.

Today we are using larger scraps, but stop back on Wednesday for Part Two for a few card with those smaller strips. If you are not familiar with the Adhesive Sheets from Stampin’ Up! Check out the photo and description below. You will love using these sheets for your little bits and pieces.

If you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would be honored to have you as a customer. If you have never shopped with me before, be sure you choose me as your demonstrator and OPT IN the rewards program. Stampin’ Up! rewards you 10% for every purchase of $20 or more. I would not want you to miss out on that!

From now until the end of the month Stampin’ Up! will be rewarding demonstrators for new customers, perhaps I will be blessed enough to consider you a newbie. Either way, I love sharing what I love to do with you and that is crafting all the time through every season.

Woven Ribbon Technique ~ Weekly Wed. #116

Leave a Comment / Designer Series Paper, Stamping Techniques, Weekly Wednesday Videos / October 14, 2026

Happy Wednesday all. I am so excited to share another stamping technique with you today. I am calling this the Woven Ribbon Technique. Perhaps is is out on the web under a different name, but I thought given the fact that we are weaving paper that looks like ribbon, I decided Woven Ribbon Technique works.

This technique is not difficult but can be a little tricky when weaving the strips of paper. Of course you can also do this with real ribbon, but working with paper seems to be easier for me. My only tip would be to place a small amount of adhesive on each strip as you layer them. Once you have the look you want, I place a small amount of scotch tape behind the weave. This just makes it easier when transferring it to the card front.
