Rip & Flip Technique~Weekly Wed. #29

Just Because Cards, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey all I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video. Since last month was the big paper sale, I thought I would share a technique for you to use with your new paper stash. This technique really is a quick and easy way to create a variety of cards in five minutes. Check out the video below. I promise, it is short and simple!

A Closer look…

Now here is a closer look at the Perennial Lavender paper pack that I used to create this card. The only trick to this technique is to be sure that you have coordinating colors on both sides of your paper. Stampin’ Up! does an amazing job at providing that for us. If for some reason you want to use two different sheets, no problem, just be sure to cut them to be 4 x 6 before you rip and then have fun mixing and matching.

Today’s Card, Supplies, and Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape CS- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Gorgeous Grape Ink
Basic White CS-3 x 3
Perennial Lavender DSP- 4 x 6 -rip and flip
Deckled Circle Dies
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Adhesive-my fav is our Liquid Glue
Stampin’ Dimensionals

Love, Love, Love this paper. Again, just be sure to cut your designer series paper a 4 x 6 so you have some wiggle room and then the two pieces will easily overlap making it easier for you to assemble. If you choose a one way pattern design like the image above, be sure to position the paper in your cutter so your pattern will not be upside down. Happy Stamping!

Sneak Peak Embossing Folder-Weekly Wed.#23

Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos / /

The background on our card today was created using a new embossing folder that will be coming in the next mini catalog. The Birch Wood embossing folder will be a great addition for your fall card making, but it also makes a great textured background as you see in today’s video.

https://youtu.be/PqeDPA_o13Q

I used a Basic White card, some Blackberry Bliss cardstock and a panel of the new In-Color Petunia Pop. These colors come together to make a stunning card. I also used the Spotlight on Nature leaves and butterfly. See video for more detials.

I hope you enjoyed today’s video, join me next week for more stamping fun with two new videos. I will post a Make It Monday on Monday and another let’s make it together video for our Weekly Wednesday series. Until then, Happy Stamping!

Petunia Pop & Textured Floral

Just Because Cards /

Happy Wednesday. Wow this has been a busy week. So sorry I just ran out of time and so there is not a video today, but I am excited to share a little Petunia Pop with you. I guess some weeks are like that but hey at least it is a short work week with the holiday. I hope your holiday weekend is safe and blessed.

So I began with a Petunia Pop card base. I am really loving this new In-Color. I paired it with some Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive to create this fun card. My flowers and leaves are from the Textured Floral stamp set. I created three 1 x 3″ panels of Petunia Pop and randomly stamped the images on each panel. You could stamp and then cut, either way would work. I already had some scrap cardstock so I cut and then stamped.

I mounted the stamped images on some Blackberry Bliss panels that measure 1-1/4 x 3 -1/4 and attached them across the front of my card base. I then added the greeting from the You are Beautiful stamp set on the bottom of my card. Believe it or not this card came together in less than 10 minutes.

Again, I hope you have a blessed holiday weekend. Be safe and Happy Stamping!

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

Team Card Swap-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards /

Getting together with friends to stamp is always a highlight of my month but sometimes when stamping friends live far away the next best thing is a card swap. Last month my upline for Stampin’ Up! organized a virtual card swap. We all created 10 cards and mailed them to him and he sorted through all the creations and each team member then received 10 cards in the mail.

Today I thought I would share with you a few cards that I received. I am sure you will be as amazed as I was to see the talent in this group. There was not a theme to our swap but each card created features something from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

Created By Tara Wolf
Card Created by Diana Gibson
Cards Created by Jackie Beers

Next week I hope to share a few more cards from some of my team members. I hope these cards inspire you to create something beautiful to share. Happy Stamping!

Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You /

Remember when we were kids and we dreaded Mondays? Well not anymore because each Monday I get to share a new video with you and hopefully provide a little inspiration for your crafting project. Today I am sharing three cards that I created with the new You Are Beautiful stamp set. And for my third card I also used the new Grateful Blessings set. I know my craft room is my happy place, so let’s get on with it!

I usually don’t go for the Poppy Parade but I guess this week I just need a little something bright in my Monday. I love the bright and cheery look of the Lemon Lime Twist with the Poppy Parade.

You Are Beautiful!

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

Sorry I missed a few posts I was out of town for a funeral. Well I am back now and excited to share with you a new stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, You Are Beautiful! This set is featured on page 93 and has a variety of encouraging greetings.

I find these greeting so uplifting and I am sure you will be seeing a lot of these is the very near future. But for now, here is the card I created using the leaf from this set, Lemon Lime Twist ink, Garden Green ink, Garden Green, and Basic White cardstock.

The white layer on top of my Garden Green card base measures 4 x 5-1/4 and the second white base is 3-1/2 x 4-3/4. The greeting is stamped with Garden Green ink on a white 3/4 x 2-1/2 panel attached to a 1 x 2-5/8 piece of Garden Green cardstock. I hope the greetings in this set will inspire you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!
