Anniversary & Love-Weddings

Last days for Sale-a-Bration!

2 Comments / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Sale-a-Bration /

We are in the final days of the Summer SALE-a-bration event. Only 8 days left! I created a simple, yet elegant Wedding card using the FREE Silver and Gold 6×6 paper pack and the Happiness Abounds stamp set. For this monochromatic card I used the Smoky Slate ink and cardstock.

I cut a 4 x 5 ¼ piece of the silver striped designer series paper and layered it to a smoky slate card base. I saved the strip that was left from my cut for the inside of my card. I created the second smaller panel of silver dotted paper by cutting the Smoky Slate to be  3 ¼ x 4 ¼ and the dotted paper at 3 x 4, layered them together and added them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped two roses with Smoky Slate ink and cut with coordinating dies. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a ¾ x 3 strip of Basic White CS.

I attached the leftover strip from my first cut and layered it to the inside of my card. My sentiment is from Nature’s Prints, but the inside sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set would work perfectly as well. I really like how elegant this card turned out. Now all I need is a Wedding to go to and I will be all set.

Nature’s Prints Bundle-Best Wishes

2 Comments / Anniversary & Love-Weddings /

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you are having a blessed week and enjoying flipping through the new 2022-2023 annual catalog. I hope your list is long, I know mine is LOL!

Today I am sharing a card that I created using the Nature’s Prints Bundle #158801 $55.75, pictured on page 91. I began with a Night of Navy card base and stamped the larger ferns in Smoky Slate some dark, some light and then added it to the card front. I then stamped the small flowering fern with Night of Navy on a Basic White panel three times and backed it with a Night of Navy accent.

I added some Night of Navy color to the edges of the greeting using a Sponge Dauber and layered it to the card front using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. I can’t wait to share the Sun Prints 12 x 12 Designer Series paper with you as it coordinates beautifully with this bundle. Check out the Sun Prints Collection for more coordinating products.

You are Turtle-y loved!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Just Because Cards /

Wake up to Wednesday and these adorable Turtle Friends. Well, they look like they are a bit more than just friends. Don’t they: Oh but they are so cute and this bundle is available in the 2022 Annual Catalog (AC), at least for now. It is already March and soon some of the stamp sets in the AC will retire. That normally does not happen until June, but this year, we will say good-bye at the end of April. Stay tuned to see which ones will be retiring. I will let you know when the list is published!

Speaking of March, yesterday I totally forgot to announce the winner of our February monthly drawing, and the winner is Dolores Landfair. Congratulations Dolores and thank you for your February order. You have won a package of the Pastel Pearls!

What is the March give away you ask? Well how about a pack of Basic Jewel Rhinestones. How do I enter the drawing you ask? Easy, just place a $50 online order using the March Host Code ARG9T366 and your name will go into the drawing. Be sure that you are shopping with me and that you apply the March Host Code to qualify and I will enter your name in the drawing. Your name will be entered for each $50 order you place.

Today’s card begins with an Old Olive card base and yes, I am using some of the recently retired Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper. I hope you had a chance to grab yourself a pack last month. I had a few scrap lying around and just could not help myself. I have a feeling you will be seeing a few more cards with some of the retired papers. If you don’t have this particular paper, I am sure you can find something that will work in your crafting stash, but if not may I recommend the Bloom Where You Are Planted or the Beauty of the Earth paper pack. Both are excellent choices.

I used the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine and the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder to create a bit of texture on the Very Vanilla panel before attaching the designer series papers strip. The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen. The turtles are stamped with Memento Black ink and I alternated the shell colors with Old Olive and Evening Evergreen ink.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Old Olive CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base)
  • Very Vanilla CS-4 x 5¼ (2), 3/8 x2¾, 1-1/8 x 4½
  • Evening Evergreen CS-1¼ x 4¾
  • Daffodil Afternoon DSP- 2 x 5¼ 
  • Turtle and Friends Bundle
  • Hammered Metal Embossing Folder
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Old Olive Ink
  • Evening Evergreen Ink
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

It really did create a fun card. I love the Very Vanilla textured panel, it seems to fit will with the turtles. Add a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock panel to the inside and decorate as desired. I also think these adorable turtles would look great on the outside of your envelope.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Sweet Conversation-Happy Valentine’s Day!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings /

Happy February! If you love Valentine’s Day, love and romance, you are going to love today’s card starring the Sweet Conversation Bundle that is part of the Sweet Talk Suite featured in the January- June 2022 mini catalog. Also, be sure to check out the end of this post on how you can win a pack of Pastel Pearls this month. Now that is SWEET!

Here is a closer look at some of the products in this suite.

For today’s card I used the Sweet Conversation Bundle and started with a Blushing Bride card base and created a panel of DSP by stamping the XO stamps from the bundle in blushing bride ink on the panel of white cardstock. The hearts are stamped in Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and Highland Heather. I flagged the end of the greeting using my paper snips.

Just layer everything on the card front and add a few basic pearls and you have a perfect Valentine for your sweetheart! You can add this sweet to your stamping collection and take advantage of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products.

SWEET CHANCE host code drawing- February 2022! All month you can earn chances to win a pack of Pastel Pearls.

It is the perfect set to celebrate love, not just Valentine’s Day, but anniversaries, weddings and more. My card today was created by my daughter Breanne while she was home for the holidays. I love the non-traditional colors and how she used one of the stamps to create her own patterned paper.

  • Highland Heather Ink
  • Pear Pizzazz Ink

  • Memento Black Ink
  • Sweet Conversations Bundle
  • Dress to Impress Stamp Set
  • Picture This Dies
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Adhesive/Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

Directions

Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish.
Stamp stripes in Pear Pizzazz, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride on strip of Basic White CS and attach to card front.
Stamp greeting from Dressed to Impress in Memento Black ink on card front.
Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop Basic White circles with the Picture This Dies.
Next stamp heart in Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Highland Heather and attach to white circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add circles to the card front as shown.

I love Breanne’s card almost as much as I loved crafting with her. Thanks sweetie, you really are the best daughter ever and I’ll love you forever! Can’t wait to craft together again soon!
