Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos / /

I hope all of you are staying warm on the cold Monday. Hopefully today’s Make It Monday video filled with Lavender flowers will help you think of spring. I know it doesn’t feel like it is just around the corner but it will be here before you know it. Today I am sharing three cards that I created using the Painted Lavender Bundle.

Happy Hearts ~ Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Misc Holidays / /

I do love Valentine’s Days and those sweet tart conversation hearts are delicious but I really don’t make a lot of Valentine’s Day cards anymore. My kids are grown and sending Valentine’s Day cards to your friends is just a little awkward. LOL I typically do not buy Valentine’s Day stamp sets and so I thought the Country Bouquet punch might be a perfect fit to create a fun love card.

So if you are like me and don’t want to invest in Valentine’s Day stamp sets why not check out the County Bouquet punch featured on page 148 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

So if you have Valentine’s Days cards now is the time to get started. Valentine’s Days is just 26 days away! Happy Stamping!

Hills of Tuscany Meet Meandering Meadows

Thinking of You / /

I just love it when our stamp sets and paper coordinate and today’s cards is a perfect match. I took a piece of the Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper (online exclusive product) and paired it with the new Hills of Tuscany stamp set featured in the January 2024 mini catalog and I have to admit, I like the results. I was not initially going to get this set, but my daughter thought it would be cool and she was right!

Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper

I chose my designer series paper from the pack and cut it to be 4 x 5 -1/4. I then stamped the house and tree images from the directly to the designer series paper. I stamped the house with Cajun Craze, the roof with Gray Granite, the trees with Garden Green and the pebbles with Early Espresso Ink.

The greeting is stamped with Memento Black and then I added the panel to a Petal Pink card front. I love how the Petal Pink coordinates perfectly with the shaded sky in this paper. This paper pack is an online exclusive and coordinates with the Garden Meadows Bundle.

I hope this card inspires you. I know the artist who created this paper has certainly inspired me. Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back on Friday to check out our Favorite Things Friday series.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Make It Monday #142 Garden Meadow Bundle

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You /

If you saw my post last Friday, then you know that my new favorite bundle is the online exclusive, Garden Meadow. I love how all the stamped images have coordinating dies, making it super easy to create an elegant card. Not to mention this absolutely gorgeous designer series paper pack! I wish I was that artistically inclined, but I don’t have much drawing talent, which is why I love stamping. LOL

Thank You-Garden Meadow Favorite Things Friday

Thank You /

If you have not checked out the variety of online exclusive bundles, now is the time. Garden Meadow is one of those bundles you will not want to miss. I created a Thank you card for todays post, and will be back on Monday with three more card creations with this bundle for my Make It Monday video tutorial. Click here for my You Tube channel featuring all my past videos.

Garden Meadow Bundle

I began with a Basic White card and added a layer of Blueberry Bushel, but before I added it to my card front, I cropped the arch die from the bundle.

I stamped the “thank you” greeting from Trusty Tools in Blueberry Bushel ink. The wheel barrel is stamped with Memento Black ink and cropped with the coordinating die. One of the great things about this bundle is that there is a die to cut out all the images (except the greetings). I used a variety of Stampin’ Blend Combo markers to add some color and added the image to the card front using our famous Tombo liquid glue.

I hope this Favorite Things Friday bundle inspires you to create something beautiful today. Happy Stamping!

Flowers in the Winter-Painted Lavender!

1 Comment / Easter-Spring, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Sale-a-Bration / / ,

I thought since it is really rainy and snowy this week having a pop of spring would be nice. Flowers are always fun, no matter what the season. This summer my husband and I planted some Knock Out Roses, mainly because I don’t have a green thumb and I heard these were virtually indestructible. Well, three out of the five plants began to bloom and this past week even though the temperatures were very cold, one single rose appeared. I think that was my mom giving me a sign from heaven that she is still watching over all of us.

Today I am sharing a card I made with the new Painted Lavender Bundle. I did not actually use any of the dies from the bundle, just the stamps and a greeting from Timeless Arrangements. Cards flowers are the best, because they always look good, cost relatively little investment and are definitely indestructible. LOL

I began with an Orchid Oasis card base and stamped two lavender leaves with Orchid Oasis ink on a 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Basic White CS, mounted it on a layer of Orchid Oasis, then another Basic White panel and finally to the card front. I stamped some leaves with Old Olive ink, but stamped off first using the second generation as my image. I also stamped some of the grass at the bottom.

The greeting is stamped in Orchid Oasis, mounted on a 5/8 x 2-1/2 panel of Orchid Oasis CS and attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This would also make a fabulous Easter card!

The Painted Lavender Bundle is new in the 2024 January Mini Catalog and very popular as it is already on Low Inventory. Order yours today and add a pack of paper to get a free Sale-A-Bration product of your choice. Happy Stamping!

Make It Monday #141 Trusty Tools Bundle

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Mother's Day-Father's Day /

Happy Monday everyone and Happy New Year. I hope you all had a fabulous holiday. I know we were all celebrating at the Novak house. It is always great to gather with friends and family no matter what the season. I have to admit there is something about Christmas that makes me what to spend more time baking and sitting in front of the fire watching Christmas movies than crafting! That is the only time of the year though….all the other days, for sure crafting all the way!

One of my Christmas gifts was a new computer from my family. I am so blessed. My son actually built my computer and trust me it is way faster than my old one, believe me it was old. The only problem with building your own was waiting on USPS to deliver the correct part, hence the technical difficulties. LOL

No worries because we are all back in action and just in time for SALE-A-BRATION. My video today features a new stamp set from the January 2024 mini catalog and some designer series paper from the Sale-a-bration catalog. If you are new to Stampin’ Up! this is our biggest and most fun promotion of the year. Not only do you get to choose a free product for every $50 you spend, there are also sign up bonuses, so join my team today and join the fun in 2024. CLICK HERE for sign up bonus information.

Painted Lavender Bundle-Favorite Things Friday

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

Happy Friday! I trust you all had a blessed Christmas Season. Being with family truly is my favorite thing and we were blessed to have both kids home for the holidays.

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. I was having a few technical difficulties. Good ones as this year my kids gave me a new computer, actually my son built it and some of the parts took longer to get here than anticipated, so I was without a computer for a bit. But today I am excited to share a new bundle from the January 2024, Painted Lavender.

I stamped three lavender leaves on a 2 1/2 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock with Gorgeous Grape ink. I stamped and cropped two more and added them using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I layered the Basic White with a Mossy Meadow cardstock layer and added a Mossy Meadow twine bow.

The greeting is from Timeless Arrangements and is stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cropped with the coordinating die. I also used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting. happy Stamping!
