Nature’s Prints-Hello There-Favorite Things Friday!

Happy Friday! While I love the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the look of Ginkgo leaves, I would never want one of these trees in my yard. Did you know that the Ginkgo tree is one of the oldest living tree species in the world. This tree is native to China. The leaves are very pretty, but they smell horrible.

Today’s card features one of my favorite new colors, Pecan Pie. I layered a panel of Mossy Meadow and then stamped on a 3¾ x 5 panel of white with Mossy Meadow leaves and Pecan Pie splatter. The greeting is stamped in Pecan Pie and layered on a 1 x 2″ panel of Pecan Pie.

To add a bit of dimension, I added some Mossy Meadow leaves cropped from the coordinating dies behind the greeting using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Happy Stamping!

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

Sending Sunshine-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / April 21, 2023

It is Friday and time for a relaxing weekend. I hope you all enjoy today’s card as I am sending you sunshine to brighten your day! This card was created using a Calypso Coral card base, some Calypso Coral ink and Memento Black. This is a clean and simple card to brighten your day. I love the brightness of the Calypso Coral and how the black just seems to pop!

The white cardstock is cut at 4 x 5 1/4. If you have not checked out the Sending Smiles stamp set yet, take a look at page 14 in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. There are some great greetings for creating a card for different occasions. Plus the samples featured in the catalog are oh so cute. Happy Stamping!

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

Cheerful Daisies Bundle-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / April 14, 2023

What is more exciting than new stamp sets! I am excited to share with you one of the new bundles in the 2023-2023 Annual Catalog, Cheerful Daisies. Daisies and Tulips are two of my favorite flowers and this bundle features a large, small and half daisy. Unfortunately there will not be a new Tulip bundle, maybe next time.

I began with a Crushed Curry card base and added a layer for Early Espresso and Basic White. I stamped the flowers with Crushed Curry and Early Espresso ink and the leaves in Old Olive. The greeting is punched with the Label Me Fancy punch that will soon be retiring.

The new catalog will go live May 1st, and while there s just one of the many new that are featured. There is still time to get some of the last chance products in the retiring catalogs. Just a reminder that retiring products are while supplies last.

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

Fresh New Colors-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Sales and Announcements / March 31, 2023

It is time for a color change! Yes, it has been awhile since Stampin’ Up! updated its color offerings, so check out the fresh new colors, the colors that are returning, and sadly, those that will be retiring.

The Color Refresh will launch in the 2023 Annual Catalog. So let’s get excited, because some of our old favorites are returning, like Pretty Peacock, Misty Moonlight and Blueberry Bushel. But of course for every up side there is a down and I am sad to say good-bye to Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay, not to mention Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry. But not to worry, we have some awesome replacements and that is surely a favorite thing for this Friday.

Hello New Colors:

Welcome Back-Returning Colors

Bye Bye-Retiring Colors

New 2023-2025 In-Colors

Now that is a lot of color this rainy Friday and I hope some of them brighten your day. These colors will launch in the new annual 2023-2024 annual catalog coming in May.

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

Love Cats-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards / March 24, 2023

These cute cats are one of my favorite fun sets in the January-April 2023. I combined it with the Rain and Shine Designer Series paper to create this playful card. Even if you are not a cat person, you have to admit, they are stinkin’ cute.

I started with a Flirty Flamingo card base because it matches the designer series paper in the Rain or Shine paper pack. The cats are stamped with Memento Black ink on a 2-1/8x 2-1/8 square of Basic White CS and mounted on a 2¼ x 2¼ square of Flirty Flamingo. I used the Flirty Flamingo Blend marker to color in the hearts. It is the perfect compliment to these cute kittens.

I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the greeting and attached it to the card front with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Never underestimate the power of your Paper Snips. Happy Stamping!
