Anniversary & Love-Weddings

Love Is In The Air-Lifetime of Love Bundle

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are all surrounded by the love of God, family and friends. I am not particularly big into Valentine’s Day but I thought I would share a fun love card today that you can use for Valentine’s Day, a wedding celebration or even that special anniversary. I am using the Lifetime of Love Bundle from the January – April 2024 mini catalog.

I started with a Lost Lagoon card base and added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. But before I added the Very Vanilla layer, I used a blending brush and some Lost Lagoon ink to add a layer of color at the bottom of my card. You can use masking paper, painters tape, or washi tape so whichever way you go do make sure that you secure your Very Vanilla layer so you get a clean line.

Adding a layer of color with a blending brush is a super easy way to step up your card front. My only advice for doing this is to be patient. Adding color with a stamping sponge, sponge dauber or a blending brush takes time and your project will turn out best if you use a soft touch add layer after layer of color until you get the shade of darkness you desire.

LIFETIME OF LOVE BUNDLE

For some reason I failed to order the dies with my order so of course my stamped images are fussy cut, but you can add the bundle and save 10% which is a win, win because you will save time cutting out the pieces. Good think I like to fussy cut. I added some colored pearls just for a little bling and while I added a layer of Very Vanilla to the inside I did not add a greeting. I have not decided yet if this is going to be a wedding or an anniversary card. Happy Stamping!

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

You can get one or both of these FREE as part of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Each free item requires a $50 order, so go ahead and download the catalogs and start making that list. Just click on the catalog images below. Hurry because the sale ends on February 28th!

Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Dies

Click here or on the image below to view the video of the three cards I created using the Jungle Pals Sale-a-Bration stamp set and dies.

These little jungle pals make great birthday cards. The sweet toucan bird is my absolute favorite. The alligator is cute too but seriously only in this stamped image because a real alligator is more dark brown then green. After all they do live in the swamp.

Here is a closer look at today’s cards!

Card # 1 Tiger
Card #2 Toucan Thank You
Card # 3 Toucan Birds Happy Birthday

You can color these sweet critters with our Stampin Blend markers or watercolor pencils. Be sure to add a pack of the Blender pens to your stamping stash, they make water coloring so much more fun! Have fun playing around with the combos for the perfect shading. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

Happy Wednesday. Today I am featuring one of our designer series paper packs in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, Countryside Inn. The colors featured in this paper are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy. This paper pack is featured on page 129 in the AC catalog. I combined this paper pack with a one of the new bundles in the January 2024 mini catalog, Perennial Postage.

I began with a Basic White card, added a panel of Night of Navy, followed by a panel of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used the flip side of this paper to create the greeting tag, cropping it with one of the Perennial Postage dies. The greeting is stamped with silver ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I think you will love the versatility of this new bundle. The dies are great for creating cards and scrapbook pages. Have fun playing with all these blues and creating with the new postage dies. Happy Stamping!

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