Made with Love~ One Sheet Wonder Make It Monday #236 Part Two

I am back with Part Two of our Made With Love One Sheet Wonder series. Please forgive me there was a mistake on the template I posted on Wednesday’s post. I have corrected it and uploaded a new template. The mistake was on Card #6, and I found it today when I was creating my third card for this post. If you cut your paper according to the video, then you probably did not notice the mistake. Card #6, should be three pieces of 1 x 2 1/2 and not 1 x 3. I am really sorry about that.

And now for today’s three cards which will be Card #4, 5, and 6 on the OSW template. Click here to download the cutting template.

A Closer look!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I won’t be posting a Weekly Wednesday this week as it is Christmas Eve. Join me next Monday for Part Three of this 4 part series. I will share with you cards #7 #8 #10 on our Made With Love OSW template. I do hope you take some time to enjoy family! Happy Stamping.

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

Parade of Cards ~ Make It Monday #218

Hey all, happy Monday. Today I am excited to share a few cards that I received from an Inking Royal card swap. Thanks to my upline, Brian King for organizing. Thanks to the many talented team members who participated in this swap. The cards I received this time did not include the stamp set used or instructions on how to create, so hopefully you can figure that out if you are wanting to reproduce some of these gems.

So let’s take a look:

I hope you enjoyed these beautiful cards. Happy Stamping!

Bright Borders #210 Make It Monday

Happy Monday! I am coming to you today from Chicago. I have been spending some quality time with my daughter and what’s not to love about that, plus, Chicago is great. I love just hanging out and doing nothing, well, maybe a little crafting. If you ever visit be sure to check out Black Dog Gelato on Damen Ave. It is sooooo good! The flavors are always changing, but espresso chip is my favorite!

Now doesn’t that just make your mouth water! Oh so good! Plus we can walk there and back, so calories don’t count!!!!!

A Closer Look

I am going to continue enjoying some quality time with my daughter, so there will not be a Weekly Wednesday video post or a Friday card. I hope you get to spend some quality time with family this summer and of course make time for crafting! Maybe you will use the Bright Borders stamp set and Label punch to create some gift tags for those summer birthdays, either way-Happy Stamping! Join me next week for another Make It Monday!

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

Cheers and Sips Bundle~Weekly Wed. #57

Happy Wednesday…..anyone up for a cocktail???? Well then grab your drink and join me for a fun Cheers and Sips Bundle presentation. Now through the end of June you can purchase any suite and get a second suite at 50% off. Or you can purchase any bundle within a suite and get a second bundle in a different suite at half off. It is a great deal. All the products within the suites are buy one get one 50% off. So grab that cocktail, make your list, and let’s get crafting. CLICK HERE to see all the suite opportunities!

I started a piece of Basis White cardstock, my heat tool, some Versa Mark ink, and my white embossing powder. Depending on what you want on your cheers and sip card, stamp images in Versa Mark ink and then white embossing powder. This will give you the foundation for all your stamping. Now you are ready to add some color. I choose Daffodil Delight, Summer Splash, and Flirty Flaming.

I played around with a combination of sponge daubers, blend markers and blending brushes. The blending brushes were super easy for the larger glasses while the sponge daubers were great for the tiny fruit. Be sure to wipe off the excess color with a soft towel so your embossed edges are well defined.

I did use a bit of black embossing powder for the greeting because I really wanted it to pop. I used paper snips to create my banner and I was pleased at how it turned out. Of course the Summer Splash cocktail made me long for a real something fun, but it has been many of moons since my bartending days, so I am not even sure what that would be called. Summer Splash sounds fun, maybe some gin and a little blue curacao. Just sayin’.

Either way I hope you enjoy today’s video, Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae
