Praise God For His Mercy-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

My Lord and My God have mercy on us! Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday and we see in the gospel how Jesus offers Thomas, also know as doubting Tom, love and mercy.

Thomas needs to see Jesus to believe. Blessed are those who have not seen, but believe. Notice how Jesus is so patient with Thomas and does not give up on him. Jesus never gives up on any of us. How do you give and received the mercy of our Lord?

Jesus died for all of us and when we dwell in his loving wounds we allow ourselves to be loved by Him which gives us the courage to offer mercy to others. So today, dwell in His mercy and be filled with hope, for you are loved!

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

So Much Happy at 50!

Happy Birthday /

Milestone birthday’s are always fun to celebrate and turning 50 can be as much fun as turning 16! Right! Today’s card features the So Much Happy Bundle and the Playful Alphabet Dies, which makes creating that customized birthday card a breeze!

  • Begin with a 5½ x 8½ ” piece of Basic Black cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5¼’ piece of Petal Pink cardstock and attach it to the card front. 
  • Cut a 3 ¼ x 4 ½ “piece of Melon Mambo Designer Series paper and attach it to the pink panel.
  • Next use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Happy Dies from the So Much Happy bundle to cut the Happy with Basic Black cardstock and add it to the Melon Mambo panel.
  • Use the star dies and Rococo Rose cardstock to add a little happy to the HAPPY!
  • Use Petal Pink, Melon Mambo and Rococo Rose cardstock to cut out some small balloons.
  • Use the Playful Alphabet Dies and choose the appropriate number for your birthday greeting.  I used “50”! Attach the numbers to the card front using liquid glue.
  • For the inside of the card, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Petal Pink cardstock and a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White.
  • Layer both to the inside panel of the card base.
  • Use the larger balloon dies from the Happy Dies to create a Melon Mambo and Petal Pink balloon. 
  • Crop the balloon string in Basic Black and attach to the left side of the white panel.

I waited a long time to add these amazing dies to the crafting supplies and I am so glad I did. Now creating those special, one of a kind birthday greeting for folks of all ages is a snap. I hope this card has inspired you to create something beautiful! Stop back tomorrow for some more crafting fun!

What is your favorite flower? I do love a good daisy and I also love tulips…..I guess both I have two favorites. Today’s cards features the Daisy Lane stamp set that coordinates with both of our Daisy Punches. Enjoy!

  • Begin with a 5 ½ x 8 ½ ” piece of Night of Navy cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5¼’ piece of Seaside Spray or Balmy Blue cardstock and attach it to the card base.
  • Cut a 3¼ x 3¾” piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamp the ferns in Garden Green Ink on the lower left side of the white panel.
  • Stamp the large Daisy in Night of Navy ink twice.  Punch out using the Daisy Punch.  Layer the together, off-setting the petals. 
  • Stamp the small daisy in Night of Navy ink 4 times and punch out with the Medium Daisy to create two small flowers, off-setting the petals to create a 3-D effect.
  • Attach all the daisies over the ferns on the card front.  (see image)
  • Stamp “You are Amazing” from the In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy ink and crop it out with the label die.

Painted Poppy-Comfort and Hope!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Get Well & Sympathy /

Yesterday I shared with you a cards that I created over the weekend when my daughter and I had a little crafting time together and as promised, here is the cards she created! She used the Stampin’ Blends to color the poppies! I will do my best to give you correct measurements as I forgot to measure them before she took the card home. LOL

  • Begin with a 5 ½ x11” piece of Poppy Parade cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5¼’ piece of Basic Black cardstock and attach it to the card base.
  • Cut a 3¼ x 3¾” piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamp the poppy flowers and the single leaf in Memento Black ink.
  • Use the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to color the flowers in Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzelberry and Poppy Parade. Color the leaves with Old Olive.
  • Attach this colored panel to the black panel on the card front. 
  • Next cut a 1-3/8 x 3 ¾” of Basic White cardstock and stamp the greeting from Comfort and Hope in Memento Black and attach to the card front leaving a gap of black as pictured in above image.

The Comfort and Hope set will be retiring at the end of the month and it is discounted-you read that correctly, it is on sale for $16.80, so now is a great time to add it to your collection. Don’t forget to use our host code! RYXTY496

Hello There Sunshine!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature /

I had a very nice surprise on Saturday! Yes there was sunshine, but the doorbell rang and it was my daughter. She drove in from Chicago to surprise me for my birthday! What a special treat that was. My son was already home from college and so we had a fun playing games and we all had a drink to toast yet another year older!

Yesterday we hung out in my craft room and made cards together. Well, not my son and husband! LOL This is one of my cards. Tomorrow I will share with you the card my daughter created.

  • Begin with a 5¼  x 11” piece of Bumblebee cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 5 ½”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a tent fold card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼’ piece of Basic White cardstock and attach to the card front.
  • Next cut a 2 ¾ x 4 piece of  Early Espresso cardstock and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss it with the Hammered Metal embossing folder.  Attach to the lower part of the white panel.
  • Next cut a narrow strip of Basic Black cardstock and add it across the Early Espresso hiding the seam.
  • Stamp the large sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle in Memento Black ink onto a piece of Bumblebee cardstock.  Cut it out using the coordinating die from the bundle.
  • Cut the Sunflower outline with Basic Black cardstock and use liquid glue to attach it to the sunflower.  Next cut the center of the sunflower with Early Espresso cardstock and attach it to the sunflower with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Add the sunflower to the upper portion of the card base. 
  • Stamp “hello there” in Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and punch it out using the Double Oval punch.
  • Again use the Double Oval punch to cut the scallop oval from a scrap of Bumblebee cardstock and attach it to the lower portion of the card.

What a fun set to create some springtime cards! I really enjoyed making cards with my daughter and am so blessed she spent the weekend with us. I can’t wait to share her creation with you tomorrow.

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