Happiness Abounds-You Matter!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / March 28, 2023

I just love the Happiness Abounds bundle and the sweet greetings in this stamp set and I know I use the happy birthday all the time, so today I am using the You Matter to So Many greeting from the Something Fancy Bundle, another great set. I will be mailing this card to my mother in law, who turned 91 yesterday. No it is not her birthday card, I sent that last week, but she does enjoy getting hand-stamped cards in the mail each week, even when it is not her birthday.

Perhaps there is someone you know who would love to receive a homemade card from you. Just click the shop with me button below and start collecting supplies today, soon you will be creating something beautiful to share with others.

I started with a Crushed Curry card base and cut an access strip of Crushed Curry for across the lower portion of my cards. The Designer Series paper is from the Hues of Happiness paper pack on page 132 in the annual catalog. I stamped the greeting on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and cropped it with the Label Me Fancy Punch. I used Stampin’ Seal Adhesive to attach the strip and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting.

This was a super simple card that not only uses minimal supplies, but comes together in about 5 minutes. So if you have a bunch of cards to send out, this is a perfect design for you. Happy Stamping!

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

Two Tone Flora-Thinking of You

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / March 22, 2023

When it comes to sending someone a hand-stamped card, you can never go wrong with flowers and a thinking of you sentiment. Today, my Thinking of you card begins with the Two Tone Flora Bundle and the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I chose Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze as my flower colors.

I began with a basic white card base and added another layer of white that I first embossed using the Painted Texture 3-D Embossing folder. I really love the white on white look. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and the greeting (7/8 x 2-1/2) in Basic Black.

I added a few gold pearls for some bling to compliment my flowers and that is how easy this card came together. Try stamping these beautiful flowers in different colors or switch out the embossing folder for the new Cane Weave folder for a whole new look. Either way I hope you have fun creating something beautiful today. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Flowers-InKing Royalty March Blog Hop!

23 Comments / Blog Hop, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / March 15, 2023

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Despite the occasional cold spell or snowfall in some areas, we are well into Spring – and we are ready for the flowers to bloom. We are excited to share our flower-filled creations with you and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

For today’s card, I decided to dress up a panel of our Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. The flowers and clouds were just too perfect to pass up. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to use the edges of our Designer Series paper so nothing goes to waste. The turtle and the fox on the edges were already half cut off on the 12 x 12 sheet, so I just added them to the side of my card, so these adorable critters would not be forgotten.

Yes, I do love me some paper that I can fussy cut, so I grabbed my Paper Snips and went to town. I really do like this paper pack. It is so fun and bright, perfect for a springtime birthday.

Okay, so I could not resist this stinkin’ cute rabbit, or a good fussy cut, so I created a second card to share with you, using the same Rain or Shine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. You will find this paper on page 51 in the mini January – April 2023 catalog.

This cards is essentially the same as the first one, I just used the rabbit instead of the turtle and the fox. I also did not add the layer of white behind the Designer Series Paper. The birthday greeting from both cards is from the Peaceful Moments set featured in the 2023 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

I hope you hop along to the next stop on the blog hop at Just Peachy Stamping with Sue Jackson!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Garden Birdhouse Hello!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards / March 8, 2023

Sometimes the best cards are the simple ones. Today, I have a clean and simple card for you. With just a few tools, you too can create this card.

I began with a Basic White card base and the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I stamped the leaves with Garden Green ink and used a blender pen to color in the leaves. The twig is colored with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. The Basic White panel measures 3-1/8 x 3-7/8.

I colored the birdhouse with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend Combo and stamped the greeting with Night of Navy ink. I then layered the stamped panel to a Night of Navy panel (3 ¼ x 4) and then to a Garden Green panel (3-5/8 x 4-1/8). This is a fun little set that is featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

I hope you create something beautiful to share and as always, Happy Stamping!

You Are Amazing-Amazing Thanks Dies!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Sale-a-Bration, Thinking of You / March 1, 2023

Thank you to all of you wonderful and loyal customers who placed an order during Sale-A-Bration. I hope you are enjoying your new toys and for those of you who just ordered yesterday, your toys will soon be on the way. I know many of you ordered the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper pack as your freebie so I thought I would share with you one last card that I created using this paper.

Yesterday I posted a card using the Fresh Freesia flowers (click here) so today’s card is using the Calypso Coral and Petal Pink floral. I used the dies from Amazing Thanks to create the greeting. I cut the sayings twice, one with Calypso Coral cardstock and once with Basic Black. I glued them together slightly off centered to create a shadow effect.

The card base is Calypso Coral and I added a piece of Basic Black (4-1/8 x 5-3/8) before adding my layer of DSP (3 ¾ x 5). I also added a piece of Basic White (4 x 5¼) inside so I can write a message. I plan to give this card to someone I met last weekend at church. She did such an amazing job reading scripture so I thought, this amazing woman deserves a special handmade card. I have to admit I don’t know her name, but I am sure she will appreciate the card just the same.

Thanks for stopping by and for placing an order. May God continue to bless you and inspire you to create something beautiful for someone this week.

Sentimental Park Bundle

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 21, 2023

My card today was created using the new Sentimental Park Bundle. This new bundle is available in the mini 2023 Spring catalog. This is a super sweet card, but I would not consider it to be a clean and simple card. It is not hard by any means, but does have a few moving parts and several steps for using the dies.

I began with a Basic White card base and embossed another layer of Basic White using the 3-D Fern embossing folder. I added that to a layer of Night of Navy and then to the card front. The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Sun Prints pack. I cut my strip to be 2 x 5¼. The squares are dies from Stylish Shapes and all other dies are included in the Sentimental Park Bundle.

I love all the little flower dies that come in this bundle. They are great for adding that additional embellishment, here I used one on the greeting which I stamped with Night of Navy ink. The other flowers are cut using Basic White and Night of Navy CS with the stem from Old Olive.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I really am enjoying this set and love all the greeting possibilities. Happy Stamping!

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

Forever Fern Birthday-Favorite Things Friday!

6 Comments / Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / February 17, 2023

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!

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!

Think Spring-Sentimental Park Bundle

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / February 15, 2023

Happy Tuesday! I am so glad the weather is beginning to warm up. I love winter, but I also love it when the flowers begin to bud. I hope this card gets you in the mood for spring.

I began with a Garden Green card base to get me in the mood for fresh cut grass. I do love the smell of fresh cut grass, but I am not a fan of the candles that try to mimic this smell. I want the real thing.

On the front of my Garden Green card I added a layer of Basic White CS. I am using the Sentimental Park Bundle featured in the new Spring Mini catalog. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green and the flowers in Polished Pink. I then used the flower dies to crop a variety of sized using Polished Pink CS.

The greeting is from the Sentimental Bundle and is stamped in both Garden Green and Polished Pink inks. I love how versatile this stamp set is and I also love the script with the printed greetings. This is a super simple card and a perfect way to reach out to someone today.

I hope your day is blessed-Happy Stamping!

Two Things-Favorite Things Friday!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 10, 2023

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.
