Donuts and Ice Cream-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday /

Here is another fun card I created with the Ice Cream Swirl bundle that is available in the January – April mini catalog. This catalog will be retiring soon, so stay tuned for the announcement on which sets will carry over to the new Annual Catalog.

Host Code: ERQFFAAN

The real question for today is donuts or ice cream. Which is your favorite sweet treat! The Ice Cream Swirl bundle features both of these treats and I have to say, hands down, ice cream for me. However, there is a stinkin’ good donut shop just a mile from my house and they make the best Old Fashion donuts. Actually all of the donuts are great, Old Fashion just seems to be my favorite. If you have a chance, check out JMC Donuts!

I started my card with a Lemon Lime Twist card base and added a layer of Basic White. The donuts are stamped with Crumb Cake ink and cropped with the coordinating die in this bundle. I used the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad and a blender pen to color the donuts. The sprinkles are just dots from the Melon Mambo blend marker. Have fun creating a variety of donuts for your next celebration card.

If you have any favorite 2022-2024 In-Colors just a reminder they will be retiring. I would suggest ordering whatever you want before March 18 when the retired list is made public. It seems every year when this list goes live the retiring In-Colors are the first things to sell out! The retiring colors are Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.

Here are the In-Colors that will be retiring this month!

The stamp pads, re-inkers, cardstock, blend markers and ribbons will not be available in the next catalog so now is the time to place that last minute order before the list goes live!

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

Summer is Coming-Time for Ice Cream Swirls

Happy Birthday, Summer Fun / / ,

Happy Wednesday, I hope you all have a fabulous day. Did you know that the British football team (that’s soccer if you’re American) “Sheffield Wednesday” started as The Wednesday Cricket Club in 1820. They named themselves after the day on which they played their matches. Who knew and I just thought it was hump day. LOL

Today’s card is all about our Ice Cream Swirl bundle featured in the January – April 2024 catalog. This catalog will soon be retiring so if there is anything you have on your list, I would place that order soon. Once the retiring sets are announced all items are while supplies last.

This is the perfect set to create folded gift card holder or a shaker card. The greetings are so sweet and who could ever pass up an ice cream cone this time of the year. I love the swirls. You can use these dies to create a variety of colored ice cream cones, as well as, some favorite cup cake treats

Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

Featured on page 37 in the mini catalog, this is a must have bundle for your 2024 stamping stash. Have fun creating with this super sweet bundle. Happy Stamping!

Utilize Your Scraps-#149 Make It Monday

2 Comments / Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You /

Hey friends I am back with another Make It Monday video. Today I am sharing a simple and fun way to utilize those cardstock scraps. We all have scraps that we hate to throw away so today’s video is a great way to use them with an embossing folder of your choice to create beautiful cards to share with others. Click here or on the photo below to play today’s video.

So now is the time to use those scraps that have been collecting your supplies, or if you are a new crafter, save those scrap pieces to create future masterpieces. Either way this is a super easy and super fun crafting technique for turning scraps into treasures.

Textured Floral and Delightfully Electric DSP

1 Comment / Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas, Sale-a-Bration / / ,

Yesterday I created several cards from a one sheet wonder template using the Delightfully Electric Designer Series paper pack and if you watched that video then you know you can get this amazing paper pack of 48 sheets for free with a $50 online order through my store. You might want to place that order today, as time is running out as our Sale-a-Bration event ends this Thursday, February 29th.

Today, I took a 2 x 5½ strip of the same designer series print from yesterdays video, turned it over for the pink stripe side and stamped with one of the small flowers from the Textured Floral stamp set to create a floral look on top of the stripes. I used Berry Burst ink to stamp the flowers and Garden Green to add the green accents. I stamped the splatter ink with Fresh Freesia ink and I have to say they all coordinate perfectly. Below is an image of the pattern that I choose. The one of the left is from yesterday’s video and if you flip it over you get the one on the right, the one I used for today’s card.

Here is the card I created today using the strip of designer series paper on the right.

I stamped the greeting from the set with Berry Burst ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I added a 1 inch strip of Garden Green CS along both sides of my DSP strip. You can cut a piece of Garden Green that measures 2¼ x 5½ but I had a few 1″ strips in my scrap bin so I decided to save a little paper. So next time you are looking at some striped patterned paper that you are not sure how to use it, think outside the box and add some stamped images like the sample shown above. It really makes your paper take on a whole new look. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Delicate Forest-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Thinking of You / /

Happy Friday, I hope you are all staying warm. I have another card for you today using the Delicate Forest Silhouette stamp set. I created my background using a blending brush and some Tahitian Tide ink. Gently apply several layers of ink over a Basic White panel of cardstock. It is important to go slow and apply several layers to get a smooth looking background. Using our blending brushes is one of my favorite ways to create unique backgrounds.

DELICATE FOREST

To highlight the look of this silhouette stamp set I used Memento Black ink. The greeting is from the Easter Lilies bundle. I am looking forward to using a variety of different ink colors to create more with the Delicate Forest. Happy Stamping!

Love Is In The Air-Lifetime of Love Bundle

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / /

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are all surrounded by the love of God, family and friends. I am not particularly big into Valentine’s Day but I thought I would share a fun love card today that you can use for Valentine’s Day, a wedding celebration or even that special anniversary. I am using the Lifetime of Love Bundle from the January – April 2024 mini catalog.

I started with a Lost Lagoon card base and added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. But before I added the Very Vanilla layer, I used a blending brush and some Lost Lagoon ink to add a layer of color at the bottom of my card. You can use masking paper, painters tape, or washi tape so whichever way you go do make sure that you secure your Very Vanilla layer so you get a clean line.

Adding a layer of color with a blending brush is a super easy way to step up your card front. My only advice for doing this is to be patient. Adding color with a stamping sponge, sponge dauber or a blending brush takes time and your project will turn out best if you use a soft touch add layer after layer of color until you get the shade of darkness you desire.

LIFETIME OF LOVE BUNDLE

For some reason I failed to order the dies with my order so of course my stamped images are fussy cut, but you can add the bundle and save 10% which is a win, win because you will save time cutting out the pieces. Good think I like to fussy cut. I added some colored pearls just for a little bling and while I added a layer of Very Vanilla to the inside I did not add a greeting. I have not decided yet if this is going to be a wedding or an anniversary card. Happy Stamping!

Delicate Forest

Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing a super simple card using the Delicate Forest stamp set available in the January-April 2024 mini catalog. This fun silhouette stamp set is great for a thinking of you, a sympathy card or just an encouraging card for a friend in need. I started with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Boho Blossom.

I stamped the silhouette flower with Memento Black ink on a 2 x 4.75″ panel of Basic White and mounted it on a piece of Basic Black that measures 1/8″ larger. I stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink on a panel of 3/4 x 3″ piece of Basic White and used my paper snips to cut the end at an angle.

I attached the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a little bit of Black dot bling, but of course you can used whatever colors you want and add bling to match. That is one of the great things about our stamping accessories, there is a color to match everything! Happy Stamping!
