Flash Back – Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Welcome Baby! /

So I am creating cards for a weekend vendor next weekend (August 18-20) in Danvers, Illinois and realized that I don’t have enough baby cards in my inventory. Of course I went through all my adorable baby sets and realized I do not have a current baby set! Oh my, we will have to remedy that.

So today’s cards are truly a flash back to when “Something Baby” was in the annual catalog. I do believe this is my all time favorite baby set from Stampin’ Up!

Danvers is small town outside of Bloomington/Normal where my grandma lived. I have so many fond memories of visiting her while in college (Illinois State University) and of course visiting Danvers Days before my kids were born, but especially when they were little. I have not been to Danvers Days since my daughter was 8 years old and she will be 30th this month! Yikes, it has been a long time.

If you live in Illinois mark your calendars for August 18-20 and come check out Danvers Days!

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

Patchwork Pieces – Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday / /

I recently attended an event where the patchwork pieces were used to create a card very similar to today’s post. My friend and fellow demonstrator Sarah created the patchwork design. I love working with this die, but I am thinking my eye sight is not what it used to be as some of my patches are a little off, but hey that’s what makes a handmade card unique, right?

The card base was created using a piece of the new Azure Afternoon cardstock. It is layered on some Blueberry Bushel and some Berry Burst cardstock. If you have been stamping awhile then you might remember that Berry Burst was a past In-color that is now in our full line of color options.

The greeting is from the Wanted to Say dies featured on page 167 in the 2023-2024 annual catalog. I cropped those in white and Blueberry Bushel. If you have not checked out these dies, they are very versatile and add the perfect pop to any creation. If you earned some bonus coupons last month, this would be a great time to redeem them. All bonus coupons must be redeemed before August 31st! Happy Stamping!

Courage And Faith – Trust In The Lord!

4 Comments / Just Because Cards /

Today’s card is a fun fold using the Courage and Faith stamp set with the Countryside Corners bundle and the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack. I love all the scripture saying in this set and of course love, love, love all the blues in this paper pack.

I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and scored it at 2-1/8 and at 4-1/4. I folded the card in half and the back onto itself at the 2-1/8″ score. The strip of designer series paper measures 2 x 4 and is layered on the folded back portion of the card front. I then cut the frames using the Countryside Corner dies with Blueberry Bushel and Boho Blossom cardstock.

I stamped the frame outline from Countryside Corners and the greeting from Courage and Faith with Blueberry Bushel on a piece of Basic White scrap and cut using the corner dies. Mount it to the left side of your card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add a few silver pearls and your card is complete.

I hope your heart is full of trust today and always. Happy Stamping!

A Birthday Milkshake-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday, Summer Fun /

Happy Birthday to my brother, Greg! Today is his birthday and while I am not going to be able to share a Milkshake in person, I thought I would post this card for him. See I promised it would not be Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss! LOL

This bright and bold creation was made with Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo, quite the opposite of the darker neutral colors don’t you think? This fun summertime set is perfect for creating a special birthday card and I hope my brother enjoys his. I even got it in the mail on time, so he can enjoy his online and in-person birthday card!

#blessedbycards

My card base is the bright and cheery Lemon Lime Twist with a layer of Melon Mambo. The spoon is stamped with Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie cardstock. The fountain glass is a combo of Lemon Lime Twist and Smoky Slate and don’t forget the red cherry on top! Happy Stamping!!!!

With Sympathy-Two Tone Flora

Get Well & Sympathy /

Well it appears as though I am continuing with my theme of Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss. Sometimes when I am getting my crafting on, I start creating with the same color schemes. Does that ever happen to you? I was recently crafting with my dear friend Sr. Bernard and I just could not get enough of the Mossy Meadow/ Blackberry Bliss combo.

#blessedbycards

You have to admit, these colors are perfect for a sympathy card and I love the look of these two sets together. But enough is enough, so I promise I will post a bold and bright card for Friday!!! Stop back and see what exciting colors I choose. I promise it won’t be Mossy Meadow or Blackberry Bliss. Happy Stamping!

Nature’s Prints – Happy Birthday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / / , ,

Today I am combining the flowers from Two Tone Flora, the greeting from Artistically Inked and the dies from Natural Prints. I have to admit I don’t often use Natural Prints dies, I tend to go for the stamps so I am challenging myself to create with the dies. If you are in a crafting rut and are having a hard time getting those creative juices flowing, just pick a set that you haven’t used for awhile and see what you come up with.

#blessedbycards

I began with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a pop of color with Cherry Cobbler for my flowers. I did fussy cut a few individual flowers…..it’s just who I am! LOL Call me crazy, but I have to admit, I think the reason I don’t use this die much is because it is not quite a round wreath! Again, it is just who I am! Happy Stamping!

Happy Retirement-Favorite Things Friday!

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Favorite Things Friday, Masculine Cards / / ,

Although I am a few years away from retirement, I know it will be my favorite thing because then I will be able to craft all day and work won’t get in the way. LOL Well, perhaps I will still need to spend time cleaning and doing laundry, but I am sure I will have more time for crafting! I hope!!

Today’s retirement card is a clean and simple card created using the Nature’ Prints and Gone Fishing stamp sets! I decided just to use one color for a simple monochromatic look. I choose Mossy Meadow.

#blessedbycards

I think this card would look great with Afternoon Azure and Gorgeous Grape as well. I guess I was going for a more masculine look, so I used the card green……oh Blackberry Bliss would be another great choice. Maybe next time! LOL Happy Stamping!
