Hey friends, I am excited to share with you a fun technique using simple kitchen aluminum foil. Use this basic kitchen item to create awesome backgrounds for your next card. While this is not a new technique, it is certainly a WOW! and I hope it knocks your socks off. You can use this as a full background or a focal point for your card. Color it or leave it plain.

Free Stamp~Fun Fact Friday!

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday /

Sorry my title might be a little misleading, no Stampin’ Up! is not giving away a free stamp, I wish. The “Free Stamp” is actually a sculpture in Cleveland, Ohio that weighs about 35 tons and is considered the largest stamp in the world. Try taking that one to your next crop or stamping event. LOL

Oldenburg is on record as saying that “free,” references the emancipation of American slaves during and after the Civil War—a plausible explanation given the piece’s planned proximity to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. Who knew? If you are ever in Cleveland, Ohio, it might be a good place to visit.

Today’s card was created using the Wildly Wheat designer series paper and the Unbounded Love Bundle. If you have not had a chance to check out this bundle, it is amazing.

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Wildly Wheat DSP to the card front. I then added a 1 x 4′ strip of Boho Blossom to the card front. On both sides of the Boho Blossom I attached a 1/4 x 4″ strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The greeting is from Unbounded Love and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. I also used the dies from this bundle to crop the greeting and the accent piece. Add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and decorate as desired.

I cannot believe that it is already November. Time to start brewing up some holiday crafting ideas. Stop back next week for some holiday crafting inspiration. Happy Stamping!

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

For now, if you do not see the video embedded in this post, just click the photo image to view the video. Thanks for your understanding.

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. What a beautiful weekend here in St. Louis. My heart goes out to all affected by Helene! About 30 years ago our garage and basement flooded. What a mess, but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. I can only imagine the valley of emotions as you begin recovery and clean up. Our prayers are certainly with you.

For those of you more inland, hopefully you had a chance to get into you craft room for a bit of creating. Today, I am excited to share with you the Stack, Slice, and Shuffle technique to create three…..well perhaps six cards. Stay tuned this week to see the other three.
