Be of Good Courage

Thinking of You / / ,

Happy Stamping everyone. Wow yesterday’s weather was a little scary. We had quite a bit of ice here in St. Louis. I would so prefer snow, but luckily I could work from home and did not have to go out in the mess. Kuddos to all our nurses, doctors, and emergency responders who always brave the weather to keep us healthy and safe.

Today I thought I would share a card I created using the Painted Posies 3 D Embossing folder and the Courage and Faith stamp set, both in the annual 2023-2024 catalog. I began with a Bo Ho Blossom blue card base and added a layer of Starry Sky. I love how these two blues pair together.

I embossed the Starry Sky panel with the Painted Posies 3-D embossing folder using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine. I then added it to the card front. I stamped the greeting from Courage and Faith on a panel of Basic White CS with Starry Sky ink and then cropped it using the new Perennial Postage dies featured in the January 2024 mini catalog.

Sometimes letting our designer series paper or our amazing embossing folders do all the work makes for a clean and simple card that is fantastically fun. Happy Stamping!

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

Happy Hearts ~ Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Misc Holidays / /

I do love Valentine’s Days and those sweet tart conversation hearts are delicious but I really don’t make a lot of Valentine’s Day cards anymore. My kids are grown and sending Valentine’s Day cards to your friends is just a little awkward. LOL I typically do not buy Valentine’s Day stamp sets and so I thought the Country Bouquet punch might be a perfect fit to create a fun love card.

So if you are like me and don’t want to invest in Valentine’s Day stamp sets why not check out the County Bouquet punch featured on page 148 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

So if you have Valentine’s Days cards now is the time to get started. Valentine’s Days is just 26 days away! Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Hills of Tuscany Meet Meandering Meadows

Thinking of You / /

I just love it when our stamp sets and paper coordinate and today’s cards is a perfect match. I took a piece of the Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper (online exclusive product) and paired it with the new Hills of Tuscany stamp set featured in the January 2024 mini catalog and I have to admit, I like the results. I was not initially going to get this set, but my daughter thought it would be cool and she was right!

Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper

I chose my designer series paper from the pack and cut it to be 4 x 5 -1/4. I then stamped the house and tree images from the directly to the designer series paper. I stamped the house with Cajun Craze, the roof with Gray Granite, the trees with Garden Green and the pebbles with Early Espresso Ink.

The greeting is stamped with Memento Black and then I added the panel to a Petal Pink card front. I love how the Petal Pink coordinates perfectly with the shaded sky in this paper. This paper pack is an online exclusive and coordinates with the Garden Meadows Bundle.

I hope this card inspires you. I know the artist who created this paper has certainly inspired me. Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back on Friday to check out our Favorite Things Friday series.

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

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You /

If you saw my post last Friday, then you know that my new favorite bundle is the online exclusive, Garden Meadow. I love how all the stamped images have coordinating dies, making it super easy to create an elegant card. Not to mention this absolutely gorgeous designer series paper pack! I wish I was that artistically inclined, but I don’t have much drawing talent, which is why I love stamping. LOL
