Forever Fern Birthday-Favorite Things Friday!

6 Comments / Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / February 17, 2023

One of my absolute favorite stamp sets in the annual catalog is the Forever Fern set. I love, love, love this set and so I am sharing with you today a card I made for my boss this week. It was his birthday on Valentine’s Day!

This set is considered a Distinctive ink set and is pictured on page 73. I love the details and you can even get the Forever Flourishing dies that coordinate with many of the stamps. I only wish there was a Happy Birthday greeting in this set. As you can see it is a great set that is elegant and yet masculine at the same time.

I started with a Basic White card base and on another piece of white I stamped several of the leaves in Old Olive, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. I cut the cardstock on the diagonal and added a strip of Garden Green. I used the Black Memento ink for the splatter. The greeting, stamped with Garden Green ink, is from Framed Florets which is featured in our Spring Mini catalog.

I hope you will stop back again for more card inspiration! Don’t forget to join me each Monday for a Make It Monday tutorial. Happy Stamping!

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

Think Spring-Sentimental Park Bundle

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / February 15, 2023

Happy Tuesday! I am so glad the weather is beginning to warm up. I love winter, but I also love it when the flowers begin to bud. I hope this card gets you in the mood for spring.

I began with a Garden Green card base to get me in the mood for fresh cut grass. I do love the smell of fresh cut grass, but I am not a fan of the candles that try to mimic this smell. I want the real thing.

On the front of my Garden Green card I added a layer of Basic White CS. I am using the Sentimental Park Bundle featured in the new Spring Mini catalog. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green and the flowers in Polished Pink. I then used the flower dies to crop a variety of sized using Polished Pink CS.

The greeting is from the Sentimental Bundle and is stamped in both Garden Green and Polished Pink inks. I love how versatile this stamp set is and I also love the script with the printed greetings. This is a super simple card and a perfect way to reach out to someone today.

I hope your day is blessed-Happy Stamping!

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

Happy Valentine’s Day-Love Cats!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / February 14, 2023

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my beloved friends and fellow stampers. I hope your day is filled with love, sunshine and hope. May our good Lord Bless you and fill you with His love, today and everyday.

I could not resist using the Love Cats for a sweet Valentine’s Day card. I hope you are inspired to share some love today. After all everyone can use a paper hug.

I started with a Basic Gray card base and added a layer of Real Red. The Real Red layer was embossed with the new 3-D Metal Plate embossing folder. These adorable cats were stamped using Basic Gray ink and I colored the hearts with a the dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend marker. I fussy cut the cats with my Paper Snips and arranged them on the card front.

The greeting is from the Love Cats set and is stamped in Real Red ink. I cropped the greeting using one of the label dies in the Something Fancy Bundle and attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Perhaps this card will inspire you to spread some love today, or even adopt a kitten of your own. LOL Happy Stamping!
