Kindness-Favorite Things Friday

Thank You /

Don’t you just love how a single act of kindness changes everything? I think that is one of my favorite things about the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. It calls us to be more mindful of how we treat others and to be grateful for the blessing we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have or even worse on what others have. It keeps us humble and focused on the present moment of joy and happiness, which can ultimately lead to peace, at least peace of heart.

Today my card focuses on that very kindness. I again used the watercolor background technique to create my own designer series paper if you will to cut out the Handcrafted Elements Dies. I added this sweet die to a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used Highland Heather cardstock for my card base and border for the greeting. I think the Highland Heather pairs perfectly with my watercolor background die.

The greeting, from Timeless Arrangements, is stamped with Highland Heather ink and the little flower/leaf die is cut from the same watercolor background paper that I created. Of course I just had to add a few rhinestone bling but feel free to decorate as much or little as you like.

Thank you all for being such loyal followers. I hope you have fun creating many different cards this holiday season. Happy Stamping!

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

Thanks-Handcrafted Elements Dies

Thank You /

I am having more fun playing with our Handcrafted Element Dies. Don’t forget these beauties are on sale. Click here for our Last Chance product sale! Please note all products are while supplies last. I decided to use a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Poppy Parade. I again cut my die from the watercolor background that I created and added it to another black layer.

I used a corner rounder on my second layer of black to add a more elegant look. The thanks is stamped with Memento Black and is from Artistically Inked. I added just a bit of bling to finish off my card. I believe the rhinestones that I used are retired and that is okay because I am sure you have plenty of bling in your crafting stash. Right? Have fun creating-Happy Stamping!

A Closer Look

The ornament of this first card was cut using our Gold Foil sheets and the greeting is heat embossed with some Basic White Embossing powder. I love how it makes the greeting pop and is so festive for the season.

The first two cards were created using the snowflake sky embossing folder and the first layer. The first card was with Night of Navy and the second with Petal Pink cardstock. I love the totally different look. I like them both.

My last card was created with a Highland Heather card base. For the die cut element I first created a watercolor background and mounted it on a piece of Very Vanilla. Click here for watercolor background video. I added a bit of Highland Heather ink around the edges and stamped my image in Gorgeous Grape. Feel free to add the bling/embellishment of your choice. Happy Stamping!

Night Divine Stars – Favorite Things Friday

Christmas 2023, Favorite Things Friday /

The days are definitely getting shorter and one of the most wonderful things about a clear cold winter’s night is the beauty of all the stars. The O Holy Night Designer Series Paper pack pairs perfectly with the Night Divine stamp set to create a starry night card just in time for the holidays!

I began with a Basic White card base and let the designer series paper do all the work. I added a layer of the starry paper to the card front and stamped the greeting from Night Divine with Night of Navy ink on a 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock. I added the greeting to a 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 panel of Night of Navy CS and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Beauty of Autumn!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards /

Wow, it is so hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am blessed to be able to spend some quality time with my daughter. Seems like only yesterday that she was still in high school and now she is living on her own in Chicago, so I cherish all her visits.

For today’s card I created a strip of designer series paper using the leaves from the Autumn Leaves bundle. I used the larger leaf and stamped in Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink. I stamped the smaller leaves with Cajun Craze ink and used the coordinating dies to crop and attach them to the greeting.

The greeting is stamped with Early Espresso ink and cropped with the frame from the Autumn Leaves Bundle. The dots from the Layering Leaves stamp set and are stamped with Cajun Craze ink. I attached the leaves and the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope this card puts a smile on your face and that your Thanksgiving is filled with lots of turkey, laughter, and the love of family. Happy Stamping!
