Favorite Things Friday

Celebrating Friends-Favorite things Friday!

Easter-Spring, Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday /

Hello all, it is so hard to believe it is already Friday. The weeks seem to be going faster and faster, unlike when I was a kid in school and could not wait for the weekend. LOL It is time again for one of my favorite monthly outings, a visit with my friends at Mother of Good Counsel Home. I love sharing my love for making cards with the residents. They are such a lovely group. I typically have about 10 people join in the fun. I know they will love the cards and I hope you do too.

Here is a close look at the three cards we will be making!

This card was created with the Rejoice in Him stamp set featured in the mini catalog. I used Soft Suede and Old Olive inks. The patterned paper is not Stampin’ Up!, but the residents won’t mind.

This card was created with some retired pink cardstock, probably Pretty in Pink. I used the Uniquely Artistic set featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I do believe the greeting is from a retired set, but I used Garden Green ink and that is in the catalog.

My last card was created using retired sets, Touches of Texture and Wetlands. The leaves were stamped with Old Olive and the flowers with Lovely Lipstick. I hope you have a Fantastic Friday! Happy Stamping!

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

Christmas Flash Back-Favorite Things Friday!

Christmas 2022, Favorite Things Friday /

While it is getting cold here in St. Louis, we are not getting the snow that is blanketing the northern plains, and so I thought why not flash back to a favorite Christmas card using an old time favorite stamp set, now retired-Lovely As A Tree.

I created this card for as one of our stamp camp projects many years ago, so I am not sure the exact measurements. I did start with a Basic Black card base and I am guessing my white panel is 3¼ x 4¼ and the black panel is 3-1/8 x 4-1/8. I stamped the trees in our Craft White ink and used a sponge to create the snow. I do not remember what set the sentiment is from, but I am sure you will find something in your holiday stash. You might even have the Lovely As A Tree set, as it was a super popular set and in the catalog for a really long time. I am guessing if they brought it back it would continue to be a best seller among new stampers.

I hope you enjoyed this Flash Back-Favorite Things Friday. As much as I love Christmas and snow, I am looking forward to spring! Happy Stamping!

Forever Fern Birthday-Favorite Things Friday!

6 Comments / Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday /

One of my absolute favorite stamp sets in the annual catalog is the Forever Fern set. I love, love, love this set and so I am sharing with you today a card I made for my boss this week. It was his birthday on Valentine’s Day!

#blessedbycards

This set is considered a Distinctive ink set and is pictured on page 73. I love the details and you can even get the Forever Flourishing dies that coordinate with many of the stamps. I only wish there was a Happy Birthday greeting in this set. As you can see it is a great set that is elegant and yet masculine at the same time.

I started with a Basic White card base and on another piece of white I stamped several of the leaves in Old Olive, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. I cut the cardstock on the diagonal and added a strip of Garden Green. I used the Black Memento ink for the splatter. The greeting, stamped with Garden Green ink, is from Framed Florets which is featured in our Spring Mini catalog.

I hope you will stop back again for more card inspiration! Don’t forget to join me each Monday for a Make It Monday tutorial. Happy Stamping!

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

Two Things-Favorite Things Friday!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You /

So today, I thought I would share with you two favorite things and although they are totally unrelated, they are still favorite things!

First, I am just loving the new Cane Weave embossing folder. It adds such great texture to any card. I am using it today in combination with the Two Tone Flora stamp set. My card is created with Highland Heather cardstock and the images are stamped with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks.

This embossing folder is featured in the new Spring mini catalog.

My second favorite thing is teaching a monthly class at my local nursing home, Mother of Good Counsel Home and here is just one of the cards they will be making today. I began with a Real Red card base.

The black checked strip was created using the Buffalo Check Background stamp which is sadly now retired. Yes, it was a favorite and as you can see I am still using it. I do tend to use retired products when working with my friends from Mother of Good Counsel because we all loved our retired things and it just feels good to keep using them.

The large hearts and the greeting are current products and available in the 2022-2023 annual catalog, but don’t go looking for the small hearts, they are long gone, but you can always use the new Country Bouquet Punch.
