Sand and Sea Fun!

2 Comments / Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You / March 16, 2021 / Fun with stickers, Opal Rounds, Sand and Sea

I love the sound of the ocean wave, preferably in person, but while getting a massage or falling to sleep at night is nice too. Although I would love to vacation in a home on the beach, I am not sure that I would be brave enough to actually live along the ocean shore.

The waves are beautiful but can also be powerful and a bit scary. I guess if it were on a bluff and close enough to walk, like say a mile or two, that would be awesome.

Today’s card was created as a virtual make and take by a fellow demonstrator, Kathrine Anderson. Thank Kathrine for sharing your time, energy, and talent with all of us!

This card was sent to me as a kit and contains some of the pearlized paper, the seashell stickers and was embossed with the seaside embossing folder.
The pearlized squares are decorated with the stickers and also a round opal jewel.
I used Early Espresso ink and the Framed for You stamp set to stamp for the greeting and added some linen thread around the card front.

Enjoy this set while it lasts! I do hope they carry it over to the 2021-2022 annual catalog, which is coming very soon!!! If you would like to add this to your collection, don’t forget to add and apply the host code to your order!

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate your orders!!! Remember if you spend $25 either through my online store or by emailing me your order you will receive the March Virtual stamp camp class free. Class links and directions will be emailed the last week of the month.

Enjoy!!

Well Suited!

Happy Birthday, Masculine Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / March 15, 2021

If you are like me and struggle creating manly looking cards, then you are going to love the new Well Suited Suite. It has everything you need to create that perfect card for the men in your life. Fun fact, the paper inspiration was actually created from a real tie collection from one of the employees at Stampin’ UP!

Today’s card was part of a make and take from a virtual stamping event and was created by fellow demonstrator Sally Nusbaum. Thanks Sally!!!

This second card was also included in the virtual make and take, but I changed up the original card just a bit. This one was created for a woman and the jewel bling to create the necklace was made using the Opal Rounds from the Sand and Sea Suite pictured on page 41 of the January thru June 2021 catalog.

The “Happy Birthday” greeting is stamped in Rococo Rose ink and punched out using the Double Oval Punch.

I hope you enjoy working with this suite and create many wonderful manly cards!

For God So Loved the World-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / March 14, 2021

This is a pretty famous Scripture saying, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son” and these simple words can bring us so much hope.

God did not send his Son to condemn us, but to help us see the light! We are all created in God’s image, yes, but we were also created with freedom of choice and sometimes that means we make bad choices. Of’ course we are not measured by our past mistakes or bad choices and God wanted to make that very clear, so He sent his only Son to enlighten us.

We have to allow ourselves to be enlightened. So, how do we keep that Divine light in our lives? How do we stay connected to our inner goodness? Quite simply put, through daily prayer. Prayer is the spark that ignites the light of the presence of God within all of us. God’s light fills all of us with love, forgiveness and healing. The light of God is so powerful that it spreads to others and shines most brightly when we are being true to our most inner selves.

Prayer is our continual awareness that God loves us and will never abandon us. So go ahead, flip the switch! Turn on that light of prayer and shine brightly for all to see.

Vine Design Thinking of You

4 Comments / Thinking of You / March 13, 2021 / Gold Foil Sheet, Heat Emboss

There are so many great sets in the January – June Mini catalog that it is easy to miss some of the amazingly detailed dies. The Vine Design Bundle has many coordinating dies, but it also has three spectacular fancy dies that will make a great accent to any of your creations.

I spent the last few days with a friend and we had a good time playing these floral dies. Here is one of the cards I created. I hope you like and and that it will inspire you to create something beautiful.

Begin with a Cherry Cobbler card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Gold Foil sheet and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss it with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder and use liquid glue to attach it to the card front.
Use the floral circle die from the Vine Design Bundle and cut it from a piece of Basic Black cardstock. Cut a coordinating circle from the Layering Circle Dies with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and layer the two together. Attach this to the Gold Foil embossed layering with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Heat emboss the greeting with Memento Black Ink and Clear embossing powder. First, use the Stamparatus to stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink several times onto some Cherry Cobbler cardstock and immediately add the clear embossing powder. Shake off excess powder and us the heat tool to emboss the greeting.
Crop the greeting using the coordinating die from the Vine Design Bundle and attach to the Gold Foil embossed layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For that finishing touch, add three gold metallic pearls to the center of the flowers.

This Vine Design Bundle is available through June, so be sure to check it out and if you decide you want to add it to your collection, don’t forget to add and apply the Host code to your order. Our current Host code: WYXSZPMJ

Remember, a $25 monthly order earns you a FREE virtual stamp camp! Thanks so much for your loyalty! I hope you have a great weekend!
