Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. What a beautiful weekend here in St. Louis. My heart goes out to all affected by Helene! About 30 years ago our garage and basement flooded. What a mess, but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. I can only imagine the valley of emotions as you begin recovery and clean up. Our prayers are certainly with you.

For those of you more inland, hopefully you had a chance to get into you craft room for a bit of creating. Today, I am excited to share with you the Stack, Slice, and Shuffle technique to create three…..well perhaps six cards. Stay tuned this week to see the other three.

Autumn Leaves-Fun Fact Friday!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Fun Fact Friday, Thank You /

Did you know that a study in the Journal of Aging Research found that babies born during the autumn months are more likely to live to 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Who knew. Their study found that 30% of US centenarians born during 1810-1895 were born in the autumn months. I am not sure how accurate these statistics are for today, but it is interesting. While there is not an official study, I believe that people born in the spring tend to have a sunny disposition. Fun Fact: I was born in April. LOL

Today’s card celebrates all those beautiful people born in the fall. Hope you have a blessed weekened!

Even though my birthday is not in the fall, I do love the fall season. The changing of leaves, the cooler weather, those crisp cool night by the fireplace. There is just something comfortable and cozy about fall. Happy Stamping!

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

Bye Bye Birdie ~ #177 Make It Monday

Christmas 2024, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You /

Happy Monday everyone. Today I am excited to share three cards for three different occasions using the birdies from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle feature in the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. I used an embossing folder for each card. It is amazing how a simple embossed layer enhances our card projects.

Double the Fun-Fun Fact Friday!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Fun Fact Friday, Happy Birthday /

Did you know that Greetings of the Season and Everyday Greetings are sister bundles. These two online exclusive stamp sets go hand in hand and today I am sharing some double fun with these two bundles. I created a Happy Anniversary and a Happy Birthday card using some Summer Splash cardstock and designer series paper. And no you are not seeing double but I did create basically the same card for both greetings!

The flowers are actually the greenery in Golden Greenery, so I love how that stamp can double as a floral image. It also looks great as a Mossy Meadow and Old Olive green accent. Golden Greenery is also in the online exclusive section. Click here or the images below for more online exclusive stamp sets and designer series paper pack.

The ‘Happy” is from the Greetings of the Season set and the Birthday and Anniversary is from Everyday Greetings. I love how they coordinate with the same font or you can mix it up and use different fonts on one greeting. Again I used Summer Splash but I am sure that any color would look great. I stamped off for the floral part of the stamp so that it would be a bit lighter.

If you have not checked out the online exclusives you will want to do that soon. I don’t want you to miss out on any of these amazing stamp sets. Have fun creating with different color schemes. Happy Stamping!

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

Lifetime of Love Make It Monday #176

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday. Although it is almost fall, here in St. Louis the weather has been quite warm. The next few weeks are supposed to be in the 90’s which is not really typical for September. Oh, I am not complaining but I do hope we get some good fall weather in October.

I do have to wonder about all the young couples who are planning to get married this month. Chances are when they chose a September date they were not planning on summertime weather. While the weather might not be perfect for a wedding, today, I do have some pretty great wedding/anniversary and or birthday cards for you to create.

Sophisticated Sled- Fun Fact Friday!

Christmas 2024, Online Exclusives /

Did you know that over 9.5 million Americans ice skate? Shocking right?  Apparently over the past ten years skating has not been a popular, but since the pandemic is making a comeback. 

The first ice skating competition was put on in 1892 by the International Skating Union (ISU), not my alma mater, Illinois State University, LOL.  That event was open to all amateur skaters. The first figure skating event was at the Summer Olympic Games in 1908 and since 1924 has been part of the Winter Olympic Games.  Interesting, right?

Today’s cards were created by one of the designers at Stampin’ Up! and features the online exclusive stamp bundle Sophisticated Sled and the Winter Meadows 12 x 12 Designer Series paper pack.

Sophisticated Sled Bundle

Create your own designer series paper using the small snowflake stamp included in this bundle. There are so many possibilities and I do hope you have fun creating something beautiful today. Happy Stamping!

Weekly Wednesday #30-Banner Stamping

Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Join me in creating a fun card using the new Caring Leaves stamp set in the Holiday mini catalog. Although you may think this is a total fall set, today I am using three fun In-Colors for a spring/summer birthday card. I hope you enjoy this technique I am calling banner stamping.

This fun card will turn out differently every time depending on how you blend the colors on your banner panels and of course what colors you use. The Caring Leaves stamp set it perfect for this technique because of its’ solid bold lines. So grab your favorite colors and a few blending brushes and let’s get creating.

https://youtu.be/2tSSe_LPTk4

Project Supplies

Stamp Sets: Caring Leaves and Sweetly Scripted
Cardstock: Basic White card base, three 1-5/8 x 3-3/4″ banner strips
Inks: In-Colors Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, and Summer Splash, Memento Black
Accessories: Blending Brushes and Bling of choice

Caring Leaves Stamp Set
#164273 $17

I told you this card was easy, maybe not a five minute card, but once you get the blending down, it goes pretty quickly. Have fun creating with this new stamp set. Don’t forget to check out all the amazing new holiday stamps in the September Mini catalog. Happy Stamping!
