Quite Curvy Bundle meets leftover hearts!

4 Comments / Anniversary & Love-Weddings / February 8, 2021 / Quite Curvy Bundle

How do you feel about leftovers? I mean you either love them or hate them, right? As long as it is something I love like pizza, shrimp, chicken kabobs or anything Chinese I am happy OK with leftovers.

However, when it comes to my crafts, I think leftovers are awesome, especially cardstock. I save most of my scraps and have them organized by color. Do you save your scraps? What do you do with your scraps? Leave me a comment about how you feel about your crafting leftovers and if/or how you store your cardstock scraps and you would be the next winner.

Last week, we had a comment challenge about favorite go-to colors and let’s give it up for Sarah C. who will be getting a pack of Stampin’ Dimensionals…..her favorite go-to colors are Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party! Congrats Sarah!!!

This week’s comment challenge is all about leftovers, yup, crafting leftovers, so again leave me a comment on how you feel about your crafting leftovers and if/or how you store your cardstock scraps and you could be the next winner.

This week, I will be giving away a pack of the NEW Resin Hearts Embellishments from the JJ2021 Spring catalog. Please leave your comment before midnight on Saturday 2/14.

True Love Meets Blending Brushes

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings / February 1, 2021 / Blending Brushes, Tools and Accessories

Today’s card was inspired by a fellow demonstrator and friend, Brian King, who just happens to be my upline. Brian posted a very similar card on his blog stampwithbrian.com, check it out!

I challenged myself to use the New Blending Brushes, which by the way are amazingly soft. The handles are flexible which makes it super easy to blend large and small areas. They come in a three pack and make blending so easy.

Here is the card I created blending our Highland Heather, Costal Cabana and Bumblebee inks on the New True Love Black and White Designer Series paper. It is amazing what a pop of color will do.

Begin with a Costal Cabana card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼”.
Cut a 3 x 4” piece of True Love Designer Series paper and use the New Blending Brushes to add color to the paper. I used Highland Heather, Costal Cabana and Bumblebee ink.
Punch a heart using the Heart Punch Pack from the True Love Designer Series paper pack and attached to the 3 x 4” piece of Designer Series paper in previous step.
Use the Double Oval punch to punch out a Basic Black and Basic White oval. Stamp the sentiment on the white and attach to the black. Attach to the lower right side of the heart.

Cut cardstock layers as follows:
Basic Black: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Basic Black 3 ¾ x 5
Costal Cabana: 4 x 5 ¼”
Basic White: 3 ½ x 4 ¼”

Attach cardstock layers as follows:
Largest Basic Black to the Costal Cabana card base
Next size Costal Cabana layer to the Basic Black now on the card base
Smallest Basic Black piece to the Costal Cabana now on the card base
White cardstock to the smallest Basic Black piece now on the card base
Designer Series paper to the Basic White cardstock

Thanks Brian for being my inspiration for today’s post. I hope you will stop back tomorrow for some more crafting and card-making. Don’t forget this is the last month to earn FREE sets from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Kangaroo and Company

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / January 25, 2021 / Hearts, Kangaroo and Company

Did you know that Kangaroos are actually timid and shy by nature? Maybe that is why the New Kangaroo and Company Bundle in the JJ 2021 Spring mini catalog is so cute.

The Mama kangaroo looks so peaceful, but don’t be fooled, this mama kanga may have tiny feet, but she has powerful legs and can travel more than 56km/h and leap more than 9 meters in a single bound, now that is impressive.

On a 3 x 4 ¾” piece of Basic White cardstock, randomly stamp the envelope from the Kangaroo & Company Bundle in Memento Black ink. Stamp a few tiny red hearts and color all the hearts with a Real Red Blend or a Stampin’ Write marker.
Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine cut out a few hearts from Real Red cardstock and attach to the white card panel.
Cut a 3 1/8 x 3 7/8” piece of Basic Black cardstock. Layer the white panel on the black and attach to the Real Red card front.
Stamp the mama and the baby kangaroo in Memento Black ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and cut out using the matching Kangaroo dies. NOTE: The slit in mama kangaroo’s pouch is automatically cut with this die.
Stamp the bouquet of hearts in Memento Black ink on Real Red cardstock and cut out with coordinating die and insert these hearts into mama kangaroo’s pouch.
Add the baby kangaroo to the White cardstock panel.

Everything Essential for the Holidays!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / December 23, 2020 / Be Mine, Bundle, punch

Today’s card feature the Everything Essential Bundle. This cute little set will be retiring soon and include a tag punch that is great for Halloween, Christmas and even Valentine’s Day! Yes, that holiday will be coming up soon enough. You can find this set on page 61 of the Aug-Dec Holiday mini catalog.

Begin with a Melon Mambo card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Using the Essential Tag Punch included in this bundle, punch out 3 tags from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series paper pack and 4 Whisper White tags. On 3 of the Whisper White tags stamp the little hearts stamp in Melon Mambo and Seaside Spray ink.
On the 4^th Whisper White tag, stamp the Be Mine image in Melon Mambo Ink and punch it out with the Essential Tag punch.
Adhere the punched tags to the Melon Mambo card base with Stampin’ Seal and place the Be Mine image in the middle using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is another version of this same card using the Plaid Tidings DSP pack.

Here is another card version just in case you do not have any of the Plaid Tiding Designer Series paper.

Begin with a Melon Mambo card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
Using the Essential Tag Punch included in this bundle, punch out 3 tags from Whisper White cardstock and stamp the little hearts stamp in Melon Mambo and Seaside Spray ink randomly on tag.
Stamp the Be Mine stamp in Melon Mambo ink onto some Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Essential Tag punch. TIP: Pay attention to how you stamp these out as two of them will need to have the fancy part of the tag at the bottom of the image and you want to be sure that your heart is not upside down.
With the same “Be Mine” stamp, ink only the wording in Memento Black ink and stamp on some Whisper White scraps.
Using your paper snips, fussy cut the black “Be Mine” out and adhere it to the original wording stamped in Melon Mambo.
Color in the flowers on the Be Mine tags using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blends.

And if you like 3D projects, try out this cute little treat box is perfect for any occasion.

To create this little box begin with a 5 ½ x 6 ½” of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and along the 6 ½” side, score at 2”, 3”, 5”, 6”. Rotate the cardstock clockwise and score the 5 ½” side at 1, 4, and 4 ½”.
Remove the smaller rectangles sections from both side of the box. Cut vertically up to the first full score line on each side of the box and angle cut the small tabs. Two of the small tabs will be quite long, so you will need to remove approx. ½” from these tabs.
On the box front and back with the taller flaps, corner round both sides as this will be the top portion of your box.
Cut a 1 7/8 x 2 7/8” piece of Plaid Tiding Designer Series paper (or DSP of your choice) and adhere to the front and back of the box panels.
Stamp the “You & Me” Birdie stamp in Seaside Spray ink onto some Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Essentials Tab punch. Adhere to the front of the box.
Place the box face down (design will not be showing) and fold back the left side of the box. Apply liquid glue or tear and tape to the long skinny rectangular tab and bring the right side of the box over to meet this section and adhere along this rectangular tab.
Next, fold the bottom flaps in and adhere the base of the box using liquid glue or tear and tape.
Fill your box with treats or a small present and fold top flaps in and up to meet. Put a small piece of tear and tape inside this flap and wrap with Linen Thread and tie to close.

Bring on the Sunshine!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / November 10, 2020

It may be getting darker earlier, but the weather here in St. Louis has been amazing! We had another warm day yesterday, so I thought I would post another spring-like card. We have plenty of time for cold weather, right? For today’s card I continued the Misty Moonlight flower theme to create a one of a kind Anniversary card for a very special couple. This was an easy and quick card to create. Can you tell that I absolutely love the Flowers for All Seasons paper and the new In-Color, Misty Moonlight?

I started with the Misty Moonlight card base and 2″ strip from the Flowers for All Seasons Designer Series Paper. Along side of that I added a thin strip of Night of Navy cardstock. I wanted to pull out the darker blue in the floral pattern. The Happy Anniversary sentiment from Many Mates is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on some Whisper White scrap. We all have scraps, right?

I cut out the sentiment and a piece of Misty Moonlight with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss using the Layering Square Die. To pull it all together, I added three small pearls and a simple bow using the 1/4″ Misty Moonlight ribbon.

I hope you have a beautiful day. Thanks for stopping by! Come on by tomorrow for some more crafting fun, until then Be Blessed!
Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae

Happy Anniversary!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / October 23, 2020 / Anniversary, Gather Together, Well Said

So yesterday was my 32nd Wedding Anniversary and this is the card that I gave to the love of my life. I thought the pumpkins were so appropriate for this time of year. I used the Pumpkin Pie blends to color the pumpkins from the Gather Together Bundle and cut them out with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. The sentiment is from Well Said and of’ course I could not resist using the Plaid Tiding Designer Series Paper again.

I used a Cajun Craze card base, cut a triangle of the Plaid Tidings Designer series paper, and layered all on some Very Vanilla cardstock. I decided to go with the square greeting to help balance my many round pumpkins. I hope you will stop back tomorrow for some more fall fun! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.
