Painted Texture and Highland Heather

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Happy Birthday /

Hey all I am excited to share with you another card I created using the Happiness Abounds Bundle and the Painted Texture 3-D Embossing folder. This is the perfect embossing folder to at a little pizzazz to your next card creation.

I began with a Basic White card base and added a Highland Heather layer that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine using the Painted Texture 3-D embossing folder. I colored the flower with a colored pencil and the leaves with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Combo.

The greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the flower. Add some of your favorite bling and this sweet card is ready to be mailed. I hope you create something beautiful today to bless someone special in your life. After all, everyone needs a little happy mail. Right?

Garden Birdhouses-Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday /

If you like birdwatching you are going to love this sweet set. My parents have several birdhouses and feeders in their yard and they are a lot of fun to watch, but boy can they eat. While my mom was recovering from her chemo treatments, she loved watching the birds build their nests. I have to admit, it is quite fastinating.

Today’s card features two sweet birdhouses. I stamped each birdhouse and the birds on white cardstock, colored them with some Stampin’ Blends markers and then fussy cut them with some paper snips. The leaves and the greeting are stamped directly to the Basic White card front panel.

Boughs and Blossoms Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday /

Today I am featuring two bundles that are in the January -June 2022 mini catalog. Both of these bundles will be retiring in June.

I began with a Soft Succulent card base and added a layer of Petal Pink. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink and the flowers with Petal Pink. And yes, I fussy cut the flowers and leaves using my Paper Snips.

The greeting is from Artfully Layered and I stamped it on some Basic White cardstock using Memento Black ink and then punched it out with the Everyday Label punch. Oh man am I ever going to miss this punch!

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Soft Succulent CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base),
  • Petal Pink CS- 4 x 5¼
  • Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, 4 x 5¼   
  • Boughs and Blossoms Bundle
  • Artfully Layered Bundle
  • Soft Succulent Ink
  • Petal Pink Ink
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Everyday Label Punch
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

I love how this card turned out. At first I was not really a fan of the Petal Pink cardstock and ink, but the more I use it the more I love it, especially when it is paired with Soft Succulent. I hope today’s card inspires you to bless others with your creativity.

There is still time to get some of the retiring products from the 2022 annual catalog, but hurry supplies are selling out quickly. If you place an order that is less than $150, please use our April host code.

Sunflower Birthday-Favorite things Friday

Happy Birthday, Just Because Cards /

One of my favorite things beside celebrating birthday and sunflowers, is spending time with family. I am so thankful for the last few days of being able to spend time with my mom, unfortunately, that time was spent in the Cancer Infusion Center, the ER and then the hospital. So I hope you understand why my post today is late.

As many of you already know my mom is battling cancer and this week her platelets and blood levels dropped to a dangerous level, so we spent the last few days together getting her juiced back up. Praise God, she is feeling much better and is now resting comfortable at home. God is so good! Any prayers you all can offer on our behalf would be greatly appreciated.

Now onto that favorite Sunflower Birthday card!

Today’s card was created with the retiring In-Color cardstock, Bumblebee. I used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and stamped all images in Memento Black ink. The large sunflowers are stamped on a second layer of Bumblebee cardstock that measures 3¾ x 4½.

The small sunflowers and the splatter is stamped on a 2¾ x 4 Basic White panel that is mounted on some Early Espresso cardstock, 2-7/8 x 4-1/8. I attached the panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sunflowers are colored with the Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider Alcohol Blend markers. I added some Matte Black dots for a little more dimesnion.

I hope you enjoy today’s card and again sorry for the late post.

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