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!

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

Fun with Metallic Enamel Effects

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You /

Well we made it to Friday, yahoo! It has been a week. I guess some weeks are just busier than others and I think we will all agree that no matter how busy life gets there is always time for crafting. Today I am sharing a card I made using our Metallic Enamel Effect. These amazing bottles are so great for adding a special touch to your crafting project. The only real trick is patience. You will need to let them dry completely before you assemble.

It may be difficult to see how beautiful they really are with just a photos, so I suggest you order a set today and give them a try. I admit I was a bit impatient and perhaps I did not let mine dry completely. It still looks good, just some of my dots may be a little more flat.

I chose a Starry Sky card base and added another Starry Sky layer that I dry embossed using the new Layered Floral embossing folder. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. I choose to accent the smaller flowers with a dot of the silver Metallic Enamel Effects, again you will need to let them dry completely! No problem right? We can just move onto another crafting project while it dries.

Metallic Enamel Effects

I stamped my greeting with Starry Sky ink and although I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach my floral layer, I do think that would be a nice added touch. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. Happy Stamping!

Everyday Details Bundle-Happy Retirement!

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / / , ,

Happy Wednesday all and what a very happy Wednesday it is for my sister-in-law as she officially retired yesterday! Yahoo! Bring on the fun and relaxation! And in honor of her retirement I am sharing the card I created for her, although she might see this post before she gets her card!

I decided to use the Everyday Details Bundle and go sweet and simple with the teacups. I stamped the greeting on a 3 x 4 piece of Basic White and layered it to a Blueberry Bushel panel and then added it to a Basic White card base. I colored the teacups with some of our Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and yes, I fussy cut the teacups. Sorry I just could not help myself.

I added a few Tinsel Gems in blue and quickly put it in the mail. Congratulations Diana I hope you enjoy many, many, happy healthy retirement years! Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back Friday for another Favorite Things Friday post!

Everyday Details Bundle-With Sympathy

Get Well & Sympathy /

Today I am sharing with you a sweet sympathy card I made for a friend who recently lost her mom. This card was created using the Everyday Details Bundle. There is something so soft and sweet about this Robin’s nest of eggs and I do hope it brings my friend a little bit of comfort during this time of sorrow.

Losing a loved one is always so difficult and many of you know that no matter how old we get, the loss of your mom is a difficult cross to endure.

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped my Robin’s nest with some Memento Black ink. I also stamped the greeting with Memento Black. The greeting is from Something Fancy pictured on page 34 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I colored the image with our Stampin’ Blend markers, Old Olive, Bronze and Pool Party. Finish off your card with some bling of your choice. I added one of our Tinsel Gems.

It think this is going to be a very popular bundle. The samples in the catalog are super sweet and this makes not only a great sympathy card but would also make an amazing Mother’s Day card, thinking of you, and birthday card. Happy Stamping!

Fresh As A Daisy ~ Favorite Things Friday!

Easter-Spring, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / / ,

Hey there my stamping friends. I am back today with another favorite designer series paper pack from the 2023-2024 annual catalog, Fresh As A Daisy. This amazing paper pack with make card making an daisies just happens to be one of my favorite flowers.

I love the softness of the Boho Blossom daisies in this paper and so I started with a Boho Blossom card base. I chose Cajun Craze ink to compliment the background color in this sheet of designer series paper.

I used the dies in the Perennial Postage bundle to crop a Boho Bloom and Basic White layer. The greeting that I stamped with Cajun Craze ink is from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set.

I guess you can already tell that one of my favorite new bundles is the Perennial Postage Bundle. Get a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set or paper pack when you place an order for this bundle or any $50 order. Just click on the images below. Happy Stamping!

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / /

Happy Wednesday. Today I am featuring one of our designer series paper packs in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, Countryside Inn. The colors featured in this paper are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy. This paper pack is featured on page 129 in the AC catalog. I combined this paper pack with a one of the new bundles in the January 2024 mini catalog, Perennial Postage.

I began with a Basic White card, added a panel of Night of Navy, followed by a panel of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used the flip side of this paper to create the greeting tag, cropping it with one of the Perennial Postage dies. The greeting is stamped with silver ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I think you will love the versatility of this new bundle. The dies are great for creating cards and scrapbook pages. Have fun playing with all these blues and creating with the new postage dies. Happy Stamping!

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.

Painted Posies Embossing Folder

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!
