Last Chance -Great Products

Wow it is almost the end of February, where did that month go? It was really cold and snowy here is St. Louis this month, so one would think that time would have slowed down a bit, but alas, here we are at the end of another month, but of’ course tired of the cold and ready for spring.

Today along with my card, I thought I would share with you another card from a dear friend, Mary Steinau. Both of our cards feature the Flower and Field Designer Series paper and I am sure you are going to love Mary’s fun design. I do not have the measurements for this card, but I am sure you will love her design. Thanks Mary for sharing your talent with us.

Mary is one of my team members and is so incredibly talented. If you would like to join my team, now is the time. Join before the end of February and get 5 packs of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper free. We would love to have you on our team. There is never any pressure to sell, just enjoy crafting with a discount.

And here is my card using the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper!

Begin with a Shaded Spruce card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of the Flower and Field Designer Series paper.
Next cut a white cardstock panel that measures 3 1/8 x 4 1/8”. Layer the Flowered paper to the white panel.
Now cut a 3 ¼ x 4 ¼” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and attach to the white and flower panel.
Stamp Thinking of You from the Happy Thoughts stamp set on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out using the Tailored Tag punch.
Add two small Matte Black Dots featured in the January-June 2021 catalog to each side of the tag and layer it on the flowered panel.
Add three more Matte Black Dots to the bottom of the card.
Add a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock to the card front.

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards. Thank Mary for sharing with us! Stop back tomorrow because you won’t want to miss another amazing card I received from a customer. Spoiler alert-she used one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration sets and some of the Berry Blessings Designer Series Paper.

Tempted by Satan-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / February 21, 2021

In today’s gospel Jesus enters the desert and remains there for 40 nights for one reason, to seek God and to belong to him totally and exclusively. There, His humanness is tempted and He is tested. This is good news because now He can relate to us!

Temptation is all around us every day and we may even feel like we are in the wilderness, but God is found in emptiness and in fullness. In the desert Jesus teaches us that trust in our Heavenly Father is a cure or at least a remedy for temptation.

Perhaps you are struggling with temptations in your own life or maybe you feel like as though you are in the wilderness, but remember you are not alone and God does love you.

The wilderness can bring hope and a renewed intimacy with God. Sometimes it is in our darkest moments that we feel the closest to God.

Yes, Satan did his best to destroy Jesus’ spirit, but because Jesus trusted His Heavenly Father, angels ministered to Him and He came out of the desert stronger.

So if you are struggling with temptations or feel like you are in the wilderness, trust it to God. He is our source of strength, courage and peace.

I love all of our designer series paper because it takes no time at all to turn simple into beautiful.

Begin with a Poppy Parade card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of the Flower and Field Designer Series paper and attach it to a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Bumblebee cardstock.
Next wrap some white bakers twine around the lower portion of the card panel and attach to the Poppy Parade card front.
Punch a label from Poppy Parade cardstock using the Everyday Label punch.
Stamp the “Thank You” greeting from Happy Thoughts in Memento Black ink on some white cardstock and punch it out using the same punch as in previous step. Cut the top and bottom fancy portions out so you are only left with a long oval greeting.
Layer the white greeting to the Poppy Parade label and attach over the white bakers twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add some white hearts from the Resin Hearts Embellishment pack.

Remember Sale-a-Brations ends on February 28, 2021 and products in the SAB catalog are now while supplies last! I hope you will add this awesome paper pack to your craft room supplies.

Happy Birthday With Sprinkles on Top!

1 Comment / Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas / February 19, 2021

This fun card features the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle and was inspired by my friend and fellow demonstrator Sally Nusbaum. Thanks Sally!! I know that I posted an ice cream card yesterday, but I just couldn’t resist. I love this set and the Ice Cream sprinkles are so much.

With Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay ink, it just makes me think happy!

Begin with a Bermuda Bay card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 3 ¾ x 5 and a piece of Basic Black that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. Stamp Happy Birthday in Bermuda Bay ink to the top of the white cardstock and attach it to the black panel.
Cut a 1 x 3¾” strip of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series and a 1 ½ x 3 ¾” strip of Bermuda Bay.
Tear a small strip of the Bermuda Bay and layer it on top of the larger torn strip. Layer the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series strip to the Bermuda Bay and attach to the bottom of the white panel.
Use the Ice Cream Builder punch to punch to cones from a 1 ½ x 4” piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock. Stamp the waffle design on both cones using Early Espresso ink. Attach the cones to the front of the card base.
Stamp and punch two scoops from some Basic White cardstock, one in Bermuda Bay and one in Melon Mambo ink. Stamp some dots using Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo ink around the cones and attach the scoops.
Use some liquid glue to add the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles to each scoop.

For the inside, cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of White cardstock and attach to the inside panel.
Stamp the greetings from the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle in Bermuda Bay ink. Add some sprinkles using the dot stamp and Melon Mambo ink.
