All Are Invited-Few Are Chosen! Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Today’s gospel is all about a wedding feast which also represents our eternal banquet in heaven.  Seems simple right? Our God is a merciful and loving God so all are invited. The young and old, rich and poor, sick and healthy and yet, the king refuses some because they are not properly dressed in the wedding garment.

We spend all of our lives preparing for this eternal banquet and so having a relationship with Christ that focuses on prayer, trust, love and forgiveness is how we prepare our final garments. We have a merciful and loving God has given us all free will, an opportunity to choose Him, to choose love over hate, peace over violence, truth over lies and most importantly forgiveness for all who hurt us.

We can accept or refuse His invitation. We can accept the invitation and refuse His grace.  This is why many are invited but only a few are chosen. So let us choose to accept His invitation, and choose to clothe ourselves with love, forgiveness and peace.

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

Now that the fall weather is finally here, did you know that Christmas is only 77 days away! I know all the stores are ready because the Christmas decorations have been out for weeks. Today’s card was created using the Beary Cute Bundle and the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper pack.

I stated with a Night of Navy card base and added a layer of Beary Cute Designer Series Paper that measure 2-3/4 x 5 -1/4 to the top of the card front and a 2 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White CS to the lower front. Stamp Happy Holidays with Night of Navy ink as shown. The bears are stamped and cropped with the cute bear punch. The baby bear is fussy cut with Paper Snips! Happy Stamping!

Trick or Treat~Them Bones Designer Series Paper

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas /

Happy Wednesday! The weather is finally feeling a bit more like fall so hopefully that will get you in the mode to decorate for fall and Halloween and so here are two more quick and ease, but oh so cute Halloween card to get you in the spirit. Monday I shared with you three cards using the patchwork 12 x 12 designer series paper from the Them Bones pack. Here are two more super simple and did I mention quick card creations using some of the sections of that piece of patchwork https://youtu.be/BUFCAIvcUCApaper. If you missed Monday’s video tutorial, click the image below!

For my first card I began with a Basic Black card base and then layered the black hounds tooth rectangle on the left side of my card. I then add the orange trick or treat image from that same sheet of DSP from Them Bones. Add a Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired. Super quick and easy!

A Closer Look!

Here is a closer look at the paper I used today and in Monday’s video tutorial. It is a 12 x 12 sheet from the Them Bone Designer Series paper pack featured in the 2023 Holiday mini catalog.

For my second card I used the blue hounds tooth and the Boo patch. My card base is Starry Sky and again I added a piece of white inside where you can decorate the inside. Easy Peasy! You will be amazing at how quickly cards come together using this fun paper pack! I created both of these cards in less that 5 minutes! Really! The quality of our designer series paper is so awesome, why not let the paper do all the work! LOL Happy Stamping or should I say Happy Gluing!

Our Make It Monday tutorial this week featured the Trick and Treat dies from the 2023-2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. CLICK HERE if you missed that video. I know the weather is really nice here in St. Louis, but I expect it to be feeling like fall soon. Either way Halloween is quickly approaching so I hope you enjoy today’s card!

I began with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Them Bones Designer Series Paper to the card front. I then cut a 3 x 4 piece of designer series paper from that same pack. I created a Basic Black mat that measures 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 and added both to the card front.

The greeting is from the Throughout the Year set. This greeting set is quickly becoming my favorite although I wish they would have included a Happy Anniversary stamp. It seems like we could use a few more Thinking of You, Sympathy and Happy Anniversary sets, at least in my stamping stash!

I used my paper snips to cut around the greeting and attaching it to the card front using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you have been following me then you know I am in love with the stinkin’ cute ghosts from the Trick and Treat Dies but I have to admit these little skeletons are cuter than they are scary. It’s hard to have a scary dancing skeleton, right?

I hope this card gets you in the mood for the holidays. Stop by next week for more cards with the Them Bones Designer Series paper pack but until then, Happy Stamping!

Trick and Treat Dies

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards /

Halloween is just 27 days away! Have you bought your favorite candy? As I drive through my neighborhood I see a lot of Halloween decorations. It seems like Halloween is becoming as popular as Christmas, at least for decorating. Probably because there are so many really cute decorations at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn’s. Just look at this sweet sign that I purchased from Michael’s! Soooo cute!

And if that does not put you in the mood for fall, maybe today’s Halloween card will do the trick. I just could not resist these stinkin’ cute ghosts from the Trick and Treat Dies.

I started with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Them Bones Designer Series paper. The haunted house, ghosts and labels are all cut using the Trick and Treat Dies. I cropped the label die twice and cut it in half making a black background at the top and bottom of the label.

I added a second piece of Them Bones DSP and used a blending brush to add some White Craft ink to the house. The Trick or Treat greeting is from the Throughout the Year featured on page 61 in the 2023 Holiday Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!

Deck The Halls with Beary Cute Bundle

Christmas 2023 /

Happy Wednesday all! Today I am sharing a card that I created using two new Bundles in the 2023 Holiday Mini catalog, Beary Cute and Classic Christmas, along with the new Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper.

I began with a Night of Navy card base and added a layer of Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper that measures 4 x 5-1/2. I added a second layer of Designer Series paper (1-7/8 x 5-1/2) down the center. The greeting is from the Classic Christmas Bundle and stamped with Night of Navy ink on a panel of Basic White ink. I cropped the panel with our Stitched Rectangle Dies.

Stamp the polar bear with Memento Black ink and crop with the Beary Cute Punch. Stamp the scarf with Balmy Blue and then stamp the present with Night of Navy ink and Balmy Blue ink and fussy cut with Paper Snips. Add your favorite bling and you have a super sweet Christmas card. Happy Stamping!
