More Stack, Slice, Shuffle Cards!

Leave a Comment / Make it Monday Videos, Paper Crafting Ideas, Stamping Techniques /

As promised earlier this week I am sharing the three cards I created with the designer series paper from Mondays, Make It Monday tutorial. Click Here if you missed that video. I don’t really have a “Fun Fact” for today, unless you consider my first card mess up as a fun fact. When I was transporting my cut pieces of designer series panels from my video studio back to my craft room, I somehow lost a piece. Does that every happen to you? I looked and looked and for the life of me have no idea where it landed.

So instead of using a third piece of DSP on my first cards, I went paperless! LOL The birthday greeting is from Simply Said and is punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

Maybe it is not a huge mess up, but it certainly is different from the other two cards. Fun Fact: There are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities. One of my stamping friends taught this to me many years ago, thanks Lonnie!

With deepest sympathy and the thank you are from Something Fancy and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink. They are cropped with some of the dies from Something Fancy! These are featured in the 2024-2025 Annual catalog.

This really is a fun technique and I hope you give it a try. Depending on the your paper choice and the way you make your two cuts, you can get some fun and interesting cards. If you missed this or any other of the videos in my Make It Monday series, search categories and select Make It Monday videos or click here! Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. What a beautiful weekend here in St. Louis. My heart goes out to all affected by Helene! About 30 years ago our garage and basement flooded. What a mess, but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. I can only imagine the valley of emotions as you begin recovery and clean up. Our prayers are certainly with you.

For those of you more inland, hopefully you had a chance to get into you craft room for a bit of creating. Today, I am excited to share with you the Stack, Slice, and Shuffle technique to create three…..well perhaps six cards. Stay tuned this week to see the other three.

Autumn Leaves-Fun Fact Friday!

Leave a Comment / Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fact Friday, Thank You /

Did you know that a study in the Journal of Aging Research found that babies born during the autumn months are more likely to live to 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Who knew. Their study found that 30% of US centenarians born during 1810-1895 were born in the autumn months. I am not sure how accurate these statistics are for today, but it is interesting. While there is not an official study, I believe that people born in the spring tend to have a sunny disposition. Fun Fact: I was born in April. LOL

Today’s card celebrates all those beautiful people born in the fall. Hope you have a blessed weekened!

Even though my birthday is not in the fall, I do love the fall season. The changing of leaves, the cooler weather, those crisp cool night by the fireplace. There is just something comfortable and cozy about fall. Happy Stamping!

Bye Bye Birdie ~ #177 Make It Monday

Leave a Comment / Christmas 2024, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You /

Happy Monday everyone. Today I am excited to share three cards for three different occasions using the birdies from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle feature in the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. I used an embossing folder for each card. It is amazing how a simple embossed layer enhances our card projects.

Double the Fun-Fun Fact Friday!

Leave a Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Fun Fact Friday, Happy Birthday /

Did you know that Greetings of the Season and Everyday Greetings are sister bundles. These two online exclusive stamp sets go hand in hand and today I am sharing some double fun with these two bundles. I created a Happy Anniversary and a Happy Birthday card using some Summer Splash cardstock and designer series paper. And no you are not seeing double but I did create basically the same card for both greetings!

The flowers are actually the greenery in Golden Greenery, so I love how that stamp can double as a floral image. It also looks great as a Mossy Meadow and Old Olive green accent. Golden Greenery is also in the online exclusive section. Click here or the images below for more online exclusive stamp sets and designer series paper pack.

The ‘Happy” is from the Greetings of the Season set and the Birthday and Anniversary is from Everyday Greetings. I love how they coordinate with the same font or you can mix it up and use different fonts on one greeting. Again I used Summer Splash but I am sure that any color would look great. I stamped off for the floral part of the stamp so that it would be a bit lighter.

If you have not checked out the online exclusives you will want to do that soon. I don’t want you to miss out on any of these amazing stamp sets. Have fun creating with different color schemes. Happy Stamping!

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

Lifetime of Love Make It Monday #176

Leave a Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday. Although it is almost fall, here in St. Louis the weather has been quite warm. The next few weeks are supposed to be in the 90’s which is not really typical for September. Oh, I am not complaining but I do hope we get some good fall weather in October.

I do have to wonder about all the young couples who are planning to get married this month. Chances are when they chose a September date they were not planning on summertime weather. While the weather might not be perfect for a wedding, today, I do have some pretty great wedding/anniversary and or birthday cards for you to create.
