Snowflake Wishes For All!

Today’s card features the amazing Snowflake Wishes Bundle in the August-December mini catalog. I began experimenting with our watercolor paper, water painters and a few re-inkers. I choose Balmy Blue and Highland Heather and began playing around with how these colors interacted.

I have to say I love the softness of the snowy effect and decided to cut a piece for the side of my card that measures 4 x 2 1/4. I ran this through the Stamping Cut and Emboss Machine with the Winter Snow embossing folder and added a touch of sparkle with my Wink of Stella, which you probably cannot see in the photo, but trust me it is there.

I used the dies to cut some snowflakes from what was left of my watercolor experiment. I really love it when an experiment that is in my head actually turns out great! That does not always happen! LOL I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, as I wanted it to be a bit darker, but did not want to go with black. I layered two small snowflakes on the corner of the sentiment with liquid glue. I am sure you could use a tiny Stampin’ Dimensional, but here I just used a titch of glue.

For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped the greeting in Gorgeous Grape. Of’ course I could not resist adding a few more snowflakes. After all what are snowflakes wishes with only a few extra flakes! I even decorated the envelope with some of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper!

I had a great time playing with these colors. I hope you are encouraged to create something beautiful today. Thanks for stopping by and please stop back tomorrow for some more snowflake fun.

Tags, Tags and More Tags!

Hello stampers and crafters! Today is all about tags. I used the products from the Tag Buffet Kit featured in the August – December catalog. There is still plenty of time for you to get yours! What a great gift this would make for a friend, family member, or co-worker.

And it comes in an adorable box! It is so cute you won’t even need to wrap it. Just create the tags, add some Christmas-like tissue paper and you are all set! Simple Simon!

It is perfect for new crafters, busy crafters and even kids!

You can step up your tags by adding a little bling or some extra bows. I stepped up the Christmas tree tag with some of our Red Rhinestone jewels and added an extra bow on the top of the tree.

Christmas in the Pines!

Hello my stamping and crafting friends. Today we are sliding into some snow drifts that I created using the curvy die from the Curvy Celebration Bundle and the snow dies from In the Pines Bundle. I am not sure if you have had a chance to check out the trees from this bundle, but they are spectacular!

I started my snow scene with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4 x 5. I think the Shimmery White would also add little glisten to the snow drifts. Oh well, next time! I cut the drifts from scraps of white using the snow dies and the curvy die. To add a bit of dimension, I sponged them with Smoky Slate ink. The trees are stamped in Memento Black on Shaded Spruce and cut using the pine dies.

I added some Smoky Slate falling snow with the snow stamp from the bundle. My card base is Shaded Spruce with a side layer of Cherry Cobbler 4 x 5 1/4. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Tag Buffet, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

There are so many possibilities from this set! I do hope they carry if over for next year! By the way, did you know there are only 50 days until Christmas! Yikes, I better get busy! I’m so glad you stopped by today, feel free to leave a comment. Join me tomorrow for some more crafting fun!

Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae!

A Heartfelt Birthday!

Good morning all, hope you are having a blessed day! Today I am using the buffalo check background stamp to create a special birthday card for a friend. I used the new Curvy Celebrations Bundle, which you can now purchase and craft along with me, yay!

I would love to see your creations. I began with a Whisper White card base and using the Stamparatus, stamped the Buffalo Check background in memento black in on the bottom of my card. I added a curvy layer of Basic Black and Whisper White to the top portion of the card.

I stamped the birthday greeting from the Quite Curvy set. The large black and white heart is from the Heartfelt Bundle and I cut off the outer edge so it would mount on top of the Real Red scalloped punch. The red and black hearts were stamped in Memento Black on Real Read cardstock and yes, I did fussy cut them with my Paper Snips.

I used Real Red cardstock to punch a smooth heart from the Heart Punch Pack. I really love those punches. Change the greeting and this would make a great Valentine’s Day card! Just sayin’. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will join me tomorrow! Feel free to leave a comment and have a great day!

Sunday Wisdom O Holy Saints!

Today, as we celebrate and rejoice in the holy memory of our glorious saints of God, let us ask them all for their intercessions.  We also ask our blessed Mother Mary to intercede for us and store our world to health and peace.  

Asking the saints to intercede for us is no different than asking a friend for prayers.  We all have the potential to be saints, perhaps not famous and remembered by everyone, but certainly by those whose lives we have touched. After all if we can ask those still living on this earth to pray for us, how much more powerful would it be to ask those whom have already touched the face of God.

So on this day, let us thank the Lord for our friends and family members, both living and transformed to intercede for us. Let us strive to live holy and meaningful lives to bring about peace on earth.  O holy Saints, our inspiration of hope, pray for us!

St. Catherine Siena

“Nothing great is ever achieved without enduring much.” St. Catherine of Siena

Thanks for stopping by, tomorrow…..more crafting and card ideas. Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae

Curvy Celebration Meets Happy Fall Y’ All!

I can’t wait for you all to purchase the curvy celebration bundle, it is so much fun and I love all the different design possibilities. Today’s card was cased from Windy Ellard a fellow demonstrator, who used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle to put a real Fall-like spin on the curve. I was going to tweak it a bit, but decided it is perfectly adorable just the way it is. Thank you Windy for sharing your talents with all of us! Click Here to see Windy’s original card.

To create this card at home begin with a Very Vanilla card base and cut two pieces of Cinnamon Cider cardstock with the curvy dies. Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow along the curve of the Very Vanilla cardstock. I love how Windy used the punches from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle to add some dimension. Just stamp and punch! The ink colors needed are Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze. I layered all the leaves and acorns along the curve using our Tombow liquid glue.

For the inside of my card I stamped the sentiment from the bundle in Cajun Craze and added a few Fall punches that I had left over from creating the front side. Tip: To get the lighter shade on the acorn, I stamped off using the Cinnamon Cider ink and the stamped with full strength ink for the top of the acorn. Did you know, that the Curvy Celebration also has a Variety bundle that includes a Christmas Stamp Set and some fun 6 x 6 Christmas Classic Designer Series Paper? Fun. Right?

Coming November 3rd!

The Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper features Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. I hope you will stop by tomorrow for some more crazy curvy fun! Who knows, you might even see that Classic Christmas paper. Feel free to leave a comment. Stamp Bundles will be available here on November 3rd. All other supplies can be purchased now.

Announcing the Curvy Celebration Bundle!

Good morning crafters and stampers. I am so excited to announce that the Curvy Celebration bundle is coming soon! Celebrate with curvy stamps, dies and more! Designed for a variety of special occasions, the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle includes everything you need to create one-of-a-kind crafts. This bundle will be available for purchase from November 3rd through January 4th! As a demonstrator, I was allowed to pre-order this set and it has been so much fun creating new and interesting cards. This set is very versatile and will keep you busy for hours, maybe even days!

Coming November 3rd

For today’s card I started with a Just Jade card base and pulled in the Christmas Flowers from the 6 x6 Flowers for All Seasons Designer Series Paper, 3 x 5 1/4. Using the curvy dies, I cut out a piece of Flirty Flamingo measuring 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped the sentiment from the bundle in Just Jade ink and added some Just Jade sprigs. I fussy cut one of the Christmas flowers with my Paper Snips and for a finishing touch added three gold metallic pearls. It is a simple card to let others know you are thinking about them, especially during this time of the year.

Blessed!

My card today does not use the typical Thanksgiving Holiday colors but was a color challenge I did with Brian King this past summer using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Cinnamon Cider. While the colors are not traditional, the sentiment of feeling blessed is just perfect for this time of year.

Brian is so great with color combos, but this was actually my first ever color challenge and I may have cheated a bit and threw in some green, who knew! I started with a So Saffron card base and added a layer of Cinnamon Cider 4 x 5 1/4. The Flirty Flamingo Layer is cut at 4 5/8 x 3 3/8 and I stamped the rose from To a Wild Rose set on Whisper White using our Flirty Flamingo ink. Two of the roses are stamped directly on the piece of Whisper White and the one in the middle is cut out using the rose die from the bundle.

I stamped the Blessed sentiment in memento black and added some basic jeweled rhinestones. I also decided to decorate the inside of the card with a strip of all the colors in the challenge and some more rhinestones. The leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink and the sentiment is also from the To A Wild Rose set.

I hope you liked this card and feel inspired to use this color combo from Brian King to create something beautiful today. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will leave a comment and stop back tomorrow for some more crafty cards! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.

Christmas Begins with Christ!

I hope you all are gathering your stamping supplies to create beautiful Christmas Cards to send out to your friends and loved ones. This year with all that has gone on in our world, it is nice to bring a little holiday joy by creating hand-stamped cards. My card today is again using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper, but instead of the photo side, I opted to use the beautiful silver patterned side to create this elegantly layered card. I absolutely love the way it turned out! I began with a Whisper White card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4″ layer of smoky slate. To that added a Whisper White layer that I embossed with the new Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I cut a 3 x 5 piece of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and added it to some smoky slate measuring 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.

The sentiment from For Unto Us is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on Whisper White and cut using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the Stitched Circle Dies and popped with the Stampin’ Dimensionals. Around the layer of Smoky Slate and Feels Like Frost Designer Series layer I tied some Silver Metallic Edge ribbon.

This was a fun card to create and while it took a little more than two minutes to create, I feel the extra time and labor was worth it! Thanks for stopping by today! Feel free to leave a comment. I hope you will join me again tomorrow for another fabulous card surprise! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.
