Blessed By Cards w/Renae Novak

Weekly Wed. #88 Gallery Blooms Dies

Leave a Comment / Thank You, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos / March 11, 2026

Hello my stamping friends, happy Wednesday. With all the storms in the Midwest, I do pray you are all safe. My heart and prayers go out to all those affected by the latest storms and tornadoes, especially those in Michigan and Oklahoma. Let us lift up our brothers and sisters in need. I can only imagine their devastation and loss and pray for healing for all those involved.

For today’s projects I created three cards using the Gallery of Blooms dies and a few embossing folders. I am loving the new Lazy Daisy embossing folder used in card #3. I think it will be a great addition for our spring projects. It is a new online exclusive available for $11. See image below.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Make It Monday #246 Three Hexagon Birthday Cards

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos / March 2, 2026

Happy Monday all. Today I am sharing with you three cards that I created using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. If you don’t have this punch it is a good one. I use it for a variety of greetings, but today I thought I would think outside the box and use it for a background on two of our cards.

I think this technique would also look cool with the To the Point punch as well. Perhaps you have other punches in your stash that would work too. Use whatever is in your crafting stash and of course have fun creating!

Hey all I am back with two more cards using the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies. This time I have two techniques to share with you using plain old painters tape. Now if you are an avid crafter then you probably already have a roll of painters tape in your craft room. It can be used in so many great ways and now here are two more techniques. Check out the video below.
