A Dandy Little Thank You

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 25, 2021

What could be better than a dragonfly garden? I image a garden filled with lots of colorful flowers and of’ course a few dragonflies. I have to admit I don’t see too many dragonflies here in St. Louis, perhaps this spring I will check out the Missouri Botanical Gardens to see if they are hanging out there.

But for now, this cute little dragonfly thank you will have to do. Notice the sweet little lady bug trinket, I think it gives this card a polished finish. The Lady Bug Trinkets are in the January – June catalog on page 25.

Begin with a Bumblebee card base that measures 4 ¼ x 11”. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 5 ½”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of the Basic White cardstock and layer to the bumblebee card front.
Cut a 2 x 4” piece of designer series paper from the Dandy Gardens paper pack and layer to the bottom of the white panel.
Cut a ½ x 4” piece of coordinating paper from the same paper pack and attach it to layer across the 2 x 4” piece.
Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut out a large rectangle from Bumblebee cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Now cut a smaller rectangle from Basic White cardstock and stamp the greeting in Memento Black on the white rectangle.
Layer the two rectangles together and attach to the card front.
Use the Dragonflies punch to crop a big and little Dragonfly from the Dandy Gardens Designer Series Paper and layer on the card front.
For that added pop, add a Lady Bug Trinket to the card front.

There are so many possibilities for this bundle and for the sister bundle, Garden Wishes. Check out the Dandy Garden Suite for these and many other products that will help you create amazing cards.

Spring in just around the corner, so have fun with this suite and feel free to share your creations and your comments. All are welcome!

Designer Series Paper Parade

4 Comments / Paper Crafting Ideas / February 24, 2021

Isn’t it amazing what a splash of fancy paper or a little bling embellishment will do to add a pop to your card. Well if you like fancy paper then you will love today’s Designer Series Paper Parade. The cards featured today are from the Berry Blessings and Flower and Field Designer Series Paper packs.

The first card is from a long time friend and customer, Kim Wagner. Kim used paper from the Berry Blessings Designer Series Paper pack and the free Sale-a-bration set Approaching Perfection. Thanks Kim for sharing your talents with us!

The next two cards are also created using the Berry Blessings paper. The fun fold below is made with Real Red and Basic White cardstock and the greeting from Sweet Strawberry.

The above card features Pacific Point, Basic White and Garden Green cardstock and the Berry Blessings stamp set. I added Matte Black Dots embellishments for an added pop.

I created this last card using the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper pack, Flirty Flamingo cardstock and the Tasteful Label Dies. The added flower stamp is from Pretty Perennials stamped in Just Jade and Flirty Flamingo ink.

I hope you enjoyed the cards today and will add some fancy designer series paper to your next creation.

Wow it is almost the end of February, where did that month go? It was really cold and snowy here is St. Louis this month, so one would think that time would have slowed down a bit, but alas, here we are at the end of another month, but of’ course tired of the cold and ready for spring.

Today along with my card, I thought I would share with you another card from a dear friend, Mary Steinau. Both of our cards feature the Flower and Field Designer Series paper and I am sure you are going to love Mary’s fun design. I do not have the measurements for this card, but I am sure you will love her design. Thanks Mary for sharing your talent with us.

And here is my card using the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper!

Begin with a Shaded Spruce card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of the Flower and Field Designer Series paper.
Next cut a white cardstock panel that measures 3 1/8 x 4 1/8”. Layer the Flowered paper to the white panel.
Now cut a 3 ¼ x 4 ¼” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and attach to the white and flower panel.
Stamp Thinking of You from the Happy Thoughts stamp set on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out using the Tailored Tag punch.
Add two small Matte Black Dots featured in the January-June 2021 catalog to each side of the tag and layer it on the flowered panel.
Add three more Matte Black Dots to the bottom of the card.
Add a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock to the card front.

Tempted by Satan-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / February 21, 2021

In today’s gospel Jesus enters the desert and remains there for 40 nights for one reason, to seek God and to belong to him totally and exclusively. There, His humanness is tempted and He is tested. This is good news because now He can relate to us!

Temptation is all around us every day and we may even feel like we are in the wilderness, but God is found in emptiness and in fullness. In the desert Jesus teaches us that trust in our Heavenly Father is a cure or at least a remedy for temptation.

Perhaps you are struggling with temptations in your own life or maybe you feel like as though you are in the wilderness, but remember you are not alone and God does love you.

The wilderness can bring hope and a renewed intimacy with God. Sometimes it is in our darkest moments that we feel the closest to God.

Yes, Satan did his best to destroy Jesus’ spirit, but because Jesus trusted His Heavenly Father, angels ministered to Him and He came out of the desert stronger.

So if you are struggling with temptations or feel like you are in the wilderness, trust it to God. He is our source of strength, courage and peace.

Sweet Ice Cream Birthdays!

4 Comments / Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas / February 18, 2021

I know it is really cold outside in St. Louis, but anytime is a good time for Ice Cream and the Sweet Ice Cream Suite makes creating fun cards super easy. I love this paper and actually had the opportunity to meet the designer of this suite.

The meeting was of course via ZOOM, but the young designer, Kaitlyn Zumbach, was just too cute. She is also the designer of one of my other favorite sets in the annual catalog, Forever Fern and the beautiful Forever Greenery Designer Series paper pack that coordinates with that set. Thanks Kaitlyn, you are crazy talented!

Begin with a Blackberry Bliss card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish to create your card.
From the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper pack choose your favorite designs and cut one 2 x 5 ¼” piece, one 2 x 3” piece and one 2 1/8 x 2 1/8” piece. Attach these pieces to the front of the card base.
Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, the Layering Ovals and the Stitched Shapes to crop two ovals, one from Blackberry Bliss cardstock and one from Basic White cardstock. Layer together with liquid glue and attach to the front of the card base.
Use the Ice Cream Builder Punch and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper to punch out two cones and several scoops and attach these to the center of the white oval.
Stamp Happy Birthday in Memento Black ink on a 1 x 3 ¼” piece of white cardstock. Layer it to a 3 ½ x 1 1/8” piece of Old Olive cardstock. Add the greeting to a 3 5/8 x 1 ¼” piece of Blackberry Bliss and add to the front of the card under the Ice cream cone image.

Clean and Simple Stamping In Bloom

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / February 16, 2021 / In Bloom Bundle

It has been snowing a lot here lately and I love the snow. Yesterday was President’s Day and there was not much traffic on my street, so the snow created a beautiful white blanket over everything. Today it really is quite beautiful and so I was inspired to create this clean and simple card with a few layers of white. It went together very quickly and I only used a handful of supplies.

Congratulations to Mary S! You are the winner of last week’s comment challenge. You will receive a pack of Resin Hearts Embellishments from the JJ2021 catalog. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Begin with a Basic White card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish to create your card.
Cut another layer of white cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss it with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder.
Next cut 4 panels of white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle dies.
Stamp the small flower from the In Bloom Bundle in Cherry Cobbler ink on three of the four panels, stamping two flowers on the larger piece. Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp several stems to attaching them to the two blooms on the larger piece and leaving the others blooms without stems.
Stamp You are amazing in Memento Black ink and layer all white panels to the Dainty Diamond layer. You can use liquid glue or add Stampin’ Dimensionals for a more 3-D look.
