Easter-Spring

Clean and Simple Stamping!

Leave a Comment / Easter-Spring /

Happy Wednesday everyone. Sorry but due to technical difficulties, there will be no video today, but I am happy to share with you a super simple card that I created using some Basic White cardstock, our scoring tool, the dotted circle embossing folder and some dies from the Petals of Beauty bundle. I hope you enjoy this fun card and I hope to be back next week with more stamping inspirational videos!

I used the simply scoring tool to create lines around my first Basic White panel 4 x 5-1/4. I then used the Dotted Circles embossing folder to emboss another Basic White panel, 2-1/2 x 3-1/2, mounted in on a Basic White panel, 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 and then to my scored white panel. Do you sense a theme here? Yes, I was going to go totally white and then I decided to add a bit of Night of Navy. The leaf image is from Petals of Beauty and I added a splash of Cherry Cobbler flowers, which are from the Springtime Scenes dies.

Yes, I fussy cut my stamped greeting from Friendly Foliage and added it to the card front. Just add bling of your choice. I chose the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. Next week I hope to bring you more white on white inspiration. I really love this look for the spring and honestly sometimes the simplicity of Basic White gets overlooked.

Join me next week for more card inspirations, hopefully a video on Monday and Wednesday. Happy Stamping!

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

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.

Here is a closer look at our treat box!

This box can be created using the pattern paper of your choice making it great for not only Easter, but birthdays and holiday stocking stuffers. Yes, I know it is only March, but if you are in my craft room it is never to early to start creating Christmas crafts. LOL

Make It Monday #249-Notes of Spring

Easter-Spring, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Hey friends, I am excited to share with you the March product of the month, Notes of Spring. If you don’t have this cute little set, you still have time to place a $75 order before the end of the month. I am sure you will love playing with these sweet little characters. They make great spring and Easter cards!

It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I am partial to the stinkin’ cute duckling. It would make a sweet birthday card for all ages. Have fun creating with this cute set. The sky is the limit!

A Closer Look at today’s cards!

I stamped and cut out my cute little duckling, but that is only because I dropped this little guy when I was stamping on my white panel. Not to worry, there are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities, so I just stamped him again and used my handy dandy paper snips to cut him out. Whala, it is fixed! You can just stamp your image directly to the card panel, or stamp and crop him. Either way his is so stinkin’ cute.

I stamped and used my paper snips to crop these little ones on purpose. It was much quicker and easier than masking, but either way will work.

I usually don’t use much of the Sea Foam cardstock, but today, I guess I was in the mood for a little light colored spring. I think it turned out perfectly if I do say so myself. I love the tone on tone look. I did add a but of ink with a sponge dauber to the greeting just for a little darker highlight! Love it~

Happy Easter ~ Five Minute Friday

Easter-Spring, Five Minute Cards /

Happy Friday everyone. It is almost Easter and time to celebrate our risen Lord. I hope you have great cause to celebrate and gather with family this holiday. Today’s Easter card was created using a retired set, Thoughout the Year, and a last chance product, Flowers of Beauty. The two step flowers in this stamp set make it super easy to create a five minute Easter Card.

I stamped the solid portion of my flower with Boho Blue ink (last chance product) and the detailed outline with Misty Moonlight ink. Before stamping the Boho Blue on my card front, I first stamped it off on a piece of scrap paper. This will give you a lighter look for your flower, but one that still coordinates perfectly with the Boho Blossom cardstock.

The Boho Blossom card base sized is A2 and I stamped my images on a Basic White panel that measures 4 x 5 1/4. I cut a 1/2 x 5 1/4 inch Boho Blosssom CS and added it across the width of my card just under the greeting. Just add bling of your choice and you are ready to go.

If you don’t have black dot bling, you can always cheat and use a black sharpie marker. I do this alot when stamping with my nursing home friends. The tiny bling pieces are too difficult for them to manage, but the sharpie works great! Happy Stamping! Have a Blessed Easter!

Happy Easter – Easter Bunny!

Easter-Spring /

Happy Easter everyone. I hope you all have a blessed weekend and enjoy spending time with family. I thought I would share an Easter card that I sent to a very special friend. This cute little Easter bunny will soon be retiring so if you don’t have him, now is the time to add this cute stamp set and punch to your crafting stash.

Begin with Crumb Cake card base. I then added a layer of Basic White. To create the sky I used a Blending Brush and some Pool Party ink. The Easter Bunny is stamped with Memento Black on a scrap of Crumb Cake. I used a combination of colored pencils and the blender pen to create the bunny fur. I wanted his fur to look soft, so I added the white using an old blender pen and some Craft white ink.

Add grass of your choice. I used a few different stamps from the Ocean Front stamp set to create my grassy border. If you are wondering why I stamped and fussy cut my greeting it is because I totally messed up my first attempt to stamp it directly to the card front. And yes, I waited until I had all my sky and grass completed. Wouldn’t you know it the greeting was just a bit crooked, but it bugged me so I stamped and fussy cut a new greeting. See there really are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities!

I hope you have a Hoppity fun Easter! Happy Stamping!

Spring Stamping With Friends-Favorite Things Friday!

Easter-Spring, Favorite Things Friday, Thank You / / , , ,

Good morning all, not only is it Friday but it is time for another card class at Mother of Good Counsel Home, an assisted living/nursing care center in my neighborhood. It is run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr St. George and it is one of my favorite card classes.

I thought I would share with you the three cards that I created for today’s class. I try to keep things as simple as I can as I typically have 10 residents attend. Some of the products you see are retired, others are not, but hey at least you get the card idea-right?

Card #1

I created the Eggs ahead of time so all the residents had to do was add them to the card front. Sorry my image looks a little dull at the bottom, I must have gotten some excess glue on it. Oh well, homemade, right?

Card #2

Stamp Set: Something Fancy

This is one of those fracture cards. I thought it would be fun and maybe just a bit too intricate, so I created the front panel ahead of time and all they have to do is stamp the thank you and add the panel to the card front. Easy Peasy!

Stamp Set: Good Feelings

This is a super easy but totally cool one. It is hard to see in the photo but there is a glitter stripe next to all the colors. I think they will like the extra bling! I hope you pull out your crafting supplies and create a card to bless someone today. Happy Stamping. Don’t forget about the retiring stamp sets, paper, tools, and bling in the mini and annual catalogs. CLICK HERE if you missed that post.

More Fun with Excellent Eggs-Favorite Things Friday!

Easter-Spring, Favorite Things Friday / / ,

Hey all I am not sure about you but one of my favorite things is the changing of the seasons and although those who suffer from allergies might not agree with my, spring is a magical time of the year. I love when the wild flowers and day lilies begin to pop up and of course it is almost time for Tulip seasons and I absolutely love tulips!

Sorry no tulip card today, but I am having fun playing with the new Excellent Eggs bundle. I typically do not send Easter cards, but I think I am going to have to this year. By the time I am done playing with this bundle I have a feeling I will have plenty of cards to share with family and friends. I hope some of these cards inspire you to get creative! Happy Spring!

I decided to use a Basic White card base and added a layer of Starry Sky. I really love this color and am very sad that it will be retiring in April. If you want to stock up on the paper and re-inker, now is the time. Monday afternoon the retiring list will go live and then all those retiring In-colors will be gone. They typically sell out super quick!

I colored my Easter Egg with some of our alcohol markers, the Stampin’ Blends! They made creating a bright and festive egg super easy. I used the Starry Sky, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green blends. I stamped the egg stamp with Starry Sky ink on a panel of Basic White to create the background for my card. Happy Stamping!!!

Excellent Eggs-Hello Spring!

Easter-Spring / / , ,

Happy Wednesday! I just love it when we are half way to the weekend and this weekend in St. Louis, the weather is supposed to sunny! What more could a girl ask for. If you are planning on working on your Easter cards then be sure to check out Monday’s Make It Monday video for three fun Easter cards and today I am sharing a Happy Spring card using the new Excellent Egg Bundle in the January – April 2024 mini catalog.

The dies in the bundle are amazing and perfect for creating Easter Egg magic. I began my card with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Lost Lagoon. The Easter Egg was created using Basic White, Lost Lagoon, and Bubble Bath. I stamped the bunny in Early Espresso and used a blender pen to color him with a blend of Early Espresso and Crumb Cake for that special chocolate bunny. Add a little bling and your card is ready to send.

Excellent Eggs Bundle $43

The possibilities with the dies in this bundle are endless but hurry and purchase yours today as it just might be on the retiring list-who knows. Now is the time to place that last order with all of the bundles you want in the January – April 2024 mini catalog. Remember once that retired list goes live on March 18th, all retiring products will be while supplies last. Happy Stamping!

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