I stamped the flowers in Gorgeous Grape and the leaves in Old Olive. I added a border of Old Olive around the stamped images and a thin strip across the front to create a faux ribbon look.

Donuts and Ice Cream-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday /

Here is another fun card I created with the Ice Cream Swirl bundle that is available in the January – April mini catalog. This catalog will be retiring soon, so stay tuned for the announcement on which sets will carry over to the new Annual Catalog.

Host Code: ERQFFAAN

The real question for today is donuts or ice cream. Which is your favorite sweet treat! The Ice Cream Swirl bundle features both of these treats and I have to say, hands down, ice cream for me. However, there is a stinkin’ good donut shop just a mile from my house and they make the best Old Fashion donuts. Actually all of the donuts are great, Old Fashion just seems to be my favorite. If you have a chance, check out JMC Donuts!

I started my card with a Lemon Lime Twist card base and added a layer of Basic White. The donuts are stamped with Crumb Cake ink and cropped with the coordinating die in this bundle. I used the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad and a blender pen to color the donuts. The sprinkles are just dots from the Melon Mambo blend marker. Have fun creating a variety of donuts for your next celebration card.

If you have any favorite 2022-2024 In-Colors just a reminder they will be retiring. I would suggest ordering whatever you want before March 18 when the retired list is made public. It seems every year when this list goes live the retiring In-Colors are the first things to sell out! The retiring colors are Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.

Here are the In-Colors that will be retiring this month!

The stamp pads, re-inkers, cardstock, blend markers and ribbons will not be available in the next catalog so now is the time to place that last minute order before the list goes live!

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

Summer is Coming-Time for Ice Cream Swirls

Happy Birthday, Summer Fun / / ,

Happy Wednesday, I hope you all have a fabulous day. Did you know that the British football team (that’s soccer if you’re American) “Sheffield Wednesday” started as The Wednesday Cricket Club in 1820. They named themselves after the day on which they played their matches. Who knew and I just thought it was hump day. LOL

Today’s card is all about our Ice Cream Swirl bundle featured in the January – April 2024 catalog. This catalog will soon be retiring so if there is anything you have on your list, I would place that order soon. Once the retiring sets are announced all items are while supplies last.

This is the perfect set to create folded gift card holder or a shaker card. The greetings are so sweet and who could ever pass up an ice cream cone this time of the year. I love the swirls. You can use these dies to create a variety of colored ice cream cones, as well as, some favorite cup cake treats

Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

Featured on page 37 in the mini catalog, this is a must have bundle for your 2024 stamping stash. Have fun creating with this super sweet bundle. Happy Stamping!

Utilize Your Scraps-#149 Make It Monday

2 Comments / Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You /

Hey friends I am back with another Make It Monday video. Today I am sharing a simple and fun way to utilize those cardstock scraps. We all have scraps that we hate to throw away so today’s video is a great way to use them with an embossing folder of your choice to create beautiful cards to share with others. Click here or on the photo below to play today’s video.

So now is the time to use those scraps that have been collecting your supplies, or if you are a new crafter, save those scrap pieces to create future masterpieces. Either way this is a super easy and super fun crafting technique for turning scraps into treasures.

Textured Floral and Delightfully Electric DSP

1 Comment / Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas, Sale-a-Bration / / ,

Yesterday I created several cards from a one sheet wonder template using the Delightfully Electric Designer Series paper pack and if you watched that video then you know you can get this amazing paper pack of 48 sheets for free with a $50 online order through my store. You might want to place that order today, as time is running out as our Sale-a-Bration event ends this Thursday, February 29th.

Today, I took a 2 x 5½ strip of the same designer series print from yesterdays video, turned it over for the pink stripe side and stamped with one of the small flowers from the Textured Floral stamp set to create a floral look on top of the stripes. I used Berry Burst ink to stamp the flowers and Garden Green to add the green accents. I stamped the splatter ink with Fresh Freesia ink and I have to say they all coordinate perfectly. Below is an image of the pattern that I choose. The one of the left is from yesterday’s video and if you flip it over you get the one on the right, the one I used for today’s card.

Here is the card I created today using the strip of designer series paper on the right.

I stamped the greeting from the set with Berry Burst ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I added a 1 inch strip of Garden Green CS along both sides of my DSP strip. You can cut a piece of Garden Green that measures 2¼ x 5½ but I had a few 1″ strips in my scrap bin so I decided to save a little paper. So next time you are looking at some striped patterned paper that you are not sure how to use it, think outside the box and add some stamped images like the sample shown above. It really makes your paper take on a whole new look. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Dies

Click here or on the image below to view the video of the three cards I created using the Jungle Pals Sale-a-Bration stamp set and dies.

These little jungle pals make great birthday cards. The sweet toucan bird is my absolute favorite. The alligator is cute too but seriously only in this stamped image because a real alligator is more dark brown then green. After all they do live in the swamp.

Jungle Pals Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Happy Birthday, Sale-a-Bration / / ,

Happy Friday everyone. We are in the final days of our Sale-A-bration Sale and now is the time to add those Sale-A-Brations products to your stamping supplies. For every $50 you order online through my store you will recieve a free Sale-A-Bration stamp set, paper pack, or some fun bling. Today I am sharing two products from the Jungle Pals bundle. These cute little critters are just waiting to make your next project a hit.

JUNGLE PALS

This card came together fast as the Jungle Dies made it super easy. I cropped the tree using some Pecan Pie cardstock and the leaves and jungle grass with Garden Green cardstock. Our little hanging friend was stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with some watercolor pencils. I used the Early Espresso pencil and a blender pen to create the shading.

The Happiest of Birthday is from Throughout the Year and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. It looks a little crooked. LOL I promise I did not have a glass of Chardonnay while creating this card, although maybe that would have helped. Anyway it is homemade right. I am sure whomever receives this hanging friend will not mind. I think it reminds us that being perfect is so overrated! Happy Stamping!

Everyday Details Dies-Happy Birthday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday /

Wow! Have you checked out the Everyday Details Dies, they are so fancy. If you are loving the new Perennial Postage Dies, you are going to love these. This bundle is unique because the dies do not necessarily coordinate with the stamp set. But check these out! They have coordinating rectangles, circles and a few extra fancy details. In today’s card I am using the rectangles.

EVERYDAY DETIALS DIES

I started with a Boho Blossoms card base. This blue is so soft and is one of the In-Colors that will be going away in April. If you have not added it to your collection, now is the time. Just click before and start shopping. I stamped the flower pot from the Everyday Details Bundle and used the watercolor pencils to add some color. The blender pens are a great way to smooth out the lines in your coloring. If you look closely you can see a few lines in my coloring but that is because I glued before coloring.

The greeting is from Something Fancy and stamped with Memento Black. I popped it up with a few mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my fancy borders. I used the largest rectangle and cropped it twice, once with Basic White and once with Boho Blossoms CS. I had to cut the Boho Blossom rectangle down, but the Basic White fit perfectly inside. Happy Stamping!
