Coffee With Friends-Favorite Things Friday!

One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to gather with other demonstrators and share ideas. I recently had an opportunity to gather with about 28 other demos for a fun day of stamping and sharing.

Coffee was not involved and that truly is sad, but my card today was inspired by fellow demonstrator Angie Dixon. She created a lovely card swap and graciously gifted one to me. Her swap inspired me to create today’s card. Thanks Angie for your generosity!

This is a quick and easy fun fold card. I started with a Melon Mambo card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2 to create the basic card. To create the fun fold front, simply score the card front panel in the center at 2-3/4″ and fold back to create front fold. See photo below.

For the front panel cut a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Tahitian Tide and stamped the Sketched Plaid Background stamp w/Tahitian Tide ink. The dear friend is stamped with Tahitian Tide ink and fussy cut. The white panel with the girls is a piece of Basic White CS-3×3. You can round the corners for a softer look.

The girls are colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blend Markers. You can choose whatever color coordinates with your card base. This card looks like it took a long time to create, but trust me our Stampin’ Blend Combo alcohol markers makes color super fast and easy. Happy Stamping!

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

So Refreshing Iced Tea!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Just Because Cards, Summer Fun / July 12, 2023 / So Refreshing

Today I created a pitcher of iced tea with the so Refreshing Bundle and the new color Pecan Pie. I am not sure what is it like in your neighborhood, but it is really hot here and today is a perfect day for some refreshing iced tea.

I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a layer of Basic White, a second layer of Pecan Pie and to the last layer of Basic White I stamped the greeting in Pecan Pie ink. On some scraps of Basic White I stamped the pitcher, ice cubes and glasses all in Pecan Pie, cropped them with the coordinating dies in the bundle and added them to the card front.

If you are not an iced tea fan, perhaps you are a cold brew fan. This card could easily be sent to a coffee or tea lover. Have fun creating with all the extra dies in this bundle.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Earthen Textures

Thank You / July 11, 2023 / Earthen Textures

Last week the Make It Monday video was all about Earthen Textures and I promised a card using the larger floral die that score and cuts to create fun folds. CLICK HERE if you missed those cards. My color focus for the florals is Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie. I added a three sprigs in Crumb Cake and one from Mossy Meadow.

I began with a Night of Navy card base and added a layer of Old Olive. Don’t you just love how the pre-scored leaves on this die adds dimension to our card creation. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach he floral leaves. The greeting is stamped with Night of Navy ink and again, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it over the stems of the leaves.
