I hope you enjoyed today’s cards. My husband and I just got back from a relaxing mini vacay in Door County, Wisconsin, so these cards along with the cards from last week, Sunset Coast, are a fun way to remember our trip. Door County has many different shops and several fun wineries, so of course I had to fine a wine glass for my final card. LOL Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Make It Monday #256 A-2 Cards and Gift Bag

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a glorious weekend. Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift bag that I created using one piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper. Plus you can use the left over strip to create 6 beautiful cards. I will be sharing with you 4 cards that I created with my left over strip. I want to give a shout out to Julie Dimiatteo at the Paper Pixie for her great tips on how to get perfectly even handles!

Here is a look at two of the bags I created:

Gift Bag Measurements:

  • Choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper for your bag and matching cards. Cut your DSP to be 8-1/4 x 12 making sure your directional design is along the 12″ side.
  • Cut strip of 3-3/4 x 12 DSP into six 2″ strips to create your six matching cards.
  • Score on the 12″ side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4, 10-1/4, and 11-1/2. Rotate your DSP and score at 1-1/4 for the bottom and at 1″ for the top. See video on how to make cuts and fold bag and create the prefect ribbon handles.


Here is a closer look at the cards created from the 3- 3/4

These bags are so much fun and I love Julie’s tip on how to create the perfect handle every time. I had a blast created so many of these bags for this year’s Mother’s Day. Although my mom is no longer with me, I had a good time creating them for some very special moms! Thank the Lord for He is good and always placing the right people in our lives at the right time. Let us rejoice and give thanks for all moms and grandma’s this week. After all, Mother’s Day is not just one day of celebration, it is a lifetime of love. Stop back on Wednesday for another video tutorial. Happy Stamping!

Make It Monday #251 ~ Strip Paper Piecing Technique

Happy Easter Monday! I pray that our Risen Lord will bless you abundantly during this Easter Season. I thought it would be fun to go through my springtime DSP scraps to create a few fun cards for you. So dig out your leftover scraps and create something beautiful with me today.

Did you know that when you cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP into six card fronts measuring 4 x 5 1/4 that you will have a strip of 1 1/2 x 12 left over? Fun, right? Well, when that happens, don’t throw them away or cut them down because today I am going to show you how to use them to create a strip paper piecing card. Check out the video below that explains how this technique works.

Here is a closer look at our cards for today!

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and will have fun creating with your leftover scrap pieces of designer series paper.

Floral Charm 6 x6 One Sheet Wonder~ Weekly Wednesday #90

Good morning my stamping friends, I hope you are having a great week. I am excited to share with you 4 cards that I created from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. I am using the Floral Charm DSP which is actually a 12 x 12 paper pack, so you can just cut that down to be a 6 x 6 sheet. You will get four 6 x 6 sheets from just one of these papers, so technically you could create 16 cards from this one sheet of paper.

Happy Monday everyone. Easter is just around the corner and today I have a super sweet Easter Treat box that I created using the Easter Joy designer series paper pack. This pack is still available but is on the low inventory list, so hurry and get yours today. Order soon so it will arrive before Easter.

Today I have created just one box using a 4 x 6 piece of designer series paper, but I have included the scoring instructions on how you can score one piece of 12 x 12 patterned paper and create 6 fun treat boxes. Be sure to watch the video and download your free project sheet with detailed instructions.
