Willow Tree – Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday /

Today’s card is was created using the Willow Tree Bundle featured on page 110 in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I started with a Basic White card and added a layer of Pear Pizzazz. The willow leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and cropped with the coordinating dies in this bundle and attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The tree trunk, Early Espresso, is also cut using the coordinating dies

Merry Christmas 2022-Sunday Wisdom

2 Comments / Christmas 2022, Sunday Wisdom /

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have a blessed day with friends and family! God’s Blessings for a safe and healthy holiday!

As we celebrate the birth of Our Lord, let us thank Mary and Joseph for being faithful servants and trusting in Divine Providence. While they were incredibly blessed, they too faced challenges and so become the perfect example for us to trust in the Lord’s Mercy, even in the midst of our own challenges. Both Mary and Joseph had to adjust to a new life, one they did not plan and one without family near. I am pretty sure that was not their plan and although they did not fully understand both knew how much God loved them. Mary knew she was chosen and so she humbled herself to wait on God’s plan.

Are we this patient? Are we this trusting? Mary had to travel at the end of her pregnancy on a donkey, not in an air-conditioned SUV. And Joseph had to walk. Mary gave birth in a barn like cave, not a fancy hospital room. Both Mary and Joseph had to leave their family and friends and flee to Egypt to save her son. Then later they both lost their beloved son for three days. Even through all these struggles they continued to trust in God’s plan for them.

This brings great hope to all of us. Even when we have trouble discerning God’s blessings in our lives, we can turn to the Holy Family and remember we too are chosen. We too are loved.

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

InKing Royalty December Blog Hop-Winter

16 Comments / Blog Hop, Christmas 2022 /

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! We have created wintry projects to share with you today – snow, sleds and mittens are sure to be found in our lineup. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I decided to go super simple with snowflakes and joy! Because snowflakes always bring me joy. I used the Wintery 3-D embossing folder and the joy from Merriest Moments!

I used Stampin’ the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to emboss a panel of Balmy Blue with the Wintery 3-D embossing folder and cropped the greeting with the small banner from Stylish Shapes and Dies. If you have not added these amazing die to your crafting collection, now is the time. They are definitely my go to dies.

#blessedbycards

I added a small panel of white to both sides of my snowflake panel and attached it to the card front and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting. I know it is super simple, but I like how it turned out. And now that the holidays are almost here, with our crazy and busy schedules, I thought perhaps we could all use a little simple!

Project Measurements and Supplies

  • Balmy Blue CS-5½ x 8½, (card base), 3¼ x 5½
  • Basic White CS- ½ x 5½, 2 x 3
  • Merriest Moments Stamp Set
