Tidings of Christmas Fun Fold Card-Weekly Wednesday #9

4 Comments / Christmas 2021, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Wow, it is Wednesday already. Where does the time go. I think now that it is getting dark earlier, time seems to be going by quicker. Gone are the lazy days of summer, it is now time to think about the holiday seasons, after all there are only 80 days until Christmas.

Weekly WEdnesday #9

To be honest, I am still in the Halloween mode and totally enjoying my decorations. I was amazed today when I stopped by Sam’s all the Halloween decorations are gone and have been replaced with Christmas. I guess if you were waiting to buy that stinkin’ cute spider web, it is too late! Oh well.

Monday I posted a Halloween card and today, it is all about Christmas, but don’t worry, Halloween will be back next week.

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

The Beauty of Trees

Christmas 2021, Masculine Cards /

Today’s card features the trees from Evergreen Elegance and the Designer Series paper from Beauty of the Earth. I love how these trees can be used for a variety of cards, not to mention how calming a tree scenery can be.

You could easily change the sentiment to be Thinking of You, With Sympathy or even Happy Birthday for a more manly card.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Crumb Cake CS-5 ½ x 8 ½ (card)
  • Garden Green CS- 4 x 5 ¼
  • Early Espresso CS- 3 ¾ x 5
  • Garden Green Ink
  • Early Espresso Ink
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

This was a super simple card with several layers of cardstock. I stamped the fatter evergreen tree in Garden Green ink and then stamped a second generation stamp without re-inking directly on the Beauty of the Earth DSP. The Merry Christmas from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set is stamped in Early Espresso Ink.

Angels of Peace-Good People Kind Hearts

2 Comments / Christmas 2021 /

We arrived safely home from our travels and it is back to work. And while work can be fun, it is not as exciting as the roll out of a new mini catalog. Yep! Today is the first day for the new July – December mini catalog. I know that is super confusing, since it is August, but I am sure you are familiar with shipping issues and delayed postal deliveries! Trust me this was worth the wait!

Here is a card I created using the Angels of Peace, a new set in the July-December mini catalog. It is pictured on page 42. I used the Ornate Layers Dies to border the angel with Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut a 2¼ x 3¾ piece of Very Vanilla to fit inside the frame and punched the greeting using the Label Me Fancy punch.

I stamped the angel in Memento Black ink and colored her with the pastel chalks. This was the first time I played with the new pastels and I love them. I used a combination of Q-tips and the Blender Pens to create color. The pastels pair perfectly with this angel set, giving it a soft glow of color.
