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!

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!

Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Dies

Click here or on the image below to view the video of the three cards I created using the Jungle Pals Sale-a-Bration stamp set and dies.

These little jungle pals make great birthday cards. The sweet toucan bird is my absolute favorite. The alligator is cute too but seriously only in this stamped image because a real alligator is more dark brown then green. After all they do live in the swamp.

Jungle Pals Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday, Sale-a-Bration / / ,

Happy Friday everyone. We are in the final days of our Sale-A-bration Sale and now is the time to add those Sale-A-Brations products to your stamping supplies. For every $50 you order online through my store you will recieve a free Sale-A-Bration stamp set, paper pack, or some fun bling. Today I am sharing two products from the Jungle Pals bundle. These cute little critters are just waiting to make your next project a hit.

JUNGLE PALS

This card came together fast as the Jungle Dies made it super easy. I cropped the tree using some Pecan Pie cardstock and the leaves and jungle grass with Garden Green cardstock. Our little hanging friend was stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with some watercolor pencils. I used the Early Espresso pencil and a blender pen to create the shading.

The Happiest of Birthday is from Throughout the Year and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. It looks a little crooked. LOL I promise I did not have a glass of Chardonnay while creating this card, although maybe that would have helped. Anyway it is homemade right. I am sure whomever receives this hanging friend will not mind. I think it reminds us that being perfect is so overrated! Happy Stamping!

Everyday Details Dies-Happy Birthday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday /

Wow! Have you checked out the Everyday Details Dies, they are so fancy. If you are loving the new Perennial Postage Dies, you are going to love these. This bundle is unique because the dies do not necessarily coordinate with the stamp set. But check these out! They have coordinating rectangles, circles and a few extra fancy details. In today’s card I am using the rectangles.

EVERYDAY DETIALS DIES

I started with a Boho Blossoms card base. This blue is so soft and is one of the In-Colors that will be going away in April. If you have not added it to your collection, now is the time. Just click before and start shopping. I stamped the flower pot from the Everyday Details Bundle and used the watercolor pencils to add some color. The blender pens are a great way to smooth out the lines in your coloring. If you look closely you can see a few lines in my coloring but that is because I glued before coloring.

The greeting is from Something Fancy and stamped with Memento Black. I popped it up with a few mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my fancy borders. I used the largest rectangle and cropped it twice, once with Basic White and once with Boho Blossoms CS. I had to cut the Boho Blossom rectangle down, but the Basic White fit perfectly inside. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae
