Leave a Comment / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Wow, I cannot I have posted over 150 videos. Click here to view all the videos in my Make It Monday series. This week I am excited to share three cards that I created using the Flower Cart Bundle that was featured in the January- April 2024-2025 mini catalog. This stamp set and die collection will be featured in the new catalog but it won’t be a bundle, so if you want to save 10% now is the time to place that order.

This is a super sweet bundle with so many options but for today I focused on the potted plants. They are so adorable! Click below to access video and the button below that for project sheet #157-Flower Cart Bundle

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Flowering Zinnias Vines-Weekly Wed. #14

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Online Exclusives, Thinking of You / /

Hey friends, I am going to bring back my Weekly Wednesday video where I create a card with you, not live because I am too chicken and don’t really have the equipment yet, but you can create along with me weekly through my YouTube Channel. If you have been following me then you know that I have been featuring the new online exclusive Flowering Zinnias suite collection.

This is not featured in the catalog because it is an online exclusive and if you don’t want the entire collection, just pick and choose what you want. The Simply Zinnia Bundle features the stamp set and the dies while the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper pack and adhesive backed sequins can be purchased separately.

Today I thought it would be fun to create a card that features the leafy vine pattern in the paper pack. I paired it with a card base of Lemon Lime Twist with a little black border. Just like the little black dress in your closet makes you look fabulous, a little black border is just what this card needed.

And now today’s video:

Again the greeting is from Courage and Faith and is stamped with our Memento Black ink. I really love how well the Lemon Lime Twist matches this paper. Here is a closer look at the paper pack. Gorgeous!!!!!!!

Ice Cream Swirl Bundle-Make It Monday #156

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos / /

As a kid living in Springfield, Illinois, I loved summers and my heart always skipped a beat whenever I heard the ice cream truck. Now Mom and Dad did not give us money every time, but when they did, it was such a treat. Now that the weather is getting warmer I thought if might be time for some ice cream.

Click here or the photo below to access Make It Monday #156 Ice Cream Swirl Bundle

Although the ice cream truck does not come around as often as it did when I was a kid, it does make an appearance in my neighborhood from time to time. I wonder if it still rolls around regularly in my old neighborhood in Illinois. It is hard to say because times are changing and kids just don’t go outside much any more.

You are Loved-Favorite Things Friday

Leave a Comment / Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards / /

It is so much fun to randomly bless someone with a handmade card and it is just one of my favorite things to do with all the cards I create for my blog. Is there someone in your life who might need a paper hug? It might be a close friend, a family member a neighbor or someone from your church that you don’t know very well.

When I receive a handmade card it always bring a smile to my face. So why not be that person who is committed to blessing others with a paper hug. After all, from time to time, we all need encouragement. The Perennial Postage set is the perfect set for blessing others and today I chose to focus on the You are loved beyond measure greeting. Who wouldn’t love getting that in the mail.

I started with a Calypso Coral card base and added a layer of Lost Lagoon. I had some left over scraps from the Artistically Inked pack of designer series paper so I cut those into 1-1/4 x 5″ strips and added them to my Lost Lagoon panel. I stamped my greeting with Lost Lagoon ink to bring out the color in my paper. Just add a piece of Basic White or Very Vanilla to the inside and your card is ready for those words of encouragement. Happy Stamping!

Something Old & Something New

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing with you a card that I created using an old and a new stamp set. Planted Paradise is a set that was featured in the 2023-2024 annual catalog and will be carrying over to our next annual catalog. And the new set, Unbounded Love, will be featured for the first time in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog coming May 1st.

I used Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink for the potted leaves. This set does not come with dies so I did use my Paper Snips to cut out the leaf accessories and the pot. I used our Lost Lagoon cardstock to create my card base and stamped the potted planters with Lost Lagoon ink.

The greetings from Unbounded Love are stamped with Memento Black ink. I already love this new stamp set and I think you will too. It not only has some wonderful greetings but some messages for the inside of our cards, yahoo! Although the Unbounded Love stamp set is part of a bundle with some cool frames and florals, my greetings today are stamped directly to the Basic White panel that I attached to the card front.

Here is a closer look at today’s new sneak peek bundle.

Unbounded Love Bundle coming May 1st.

You can order this bundle beginning May 1st, so be sure to stop back and add that to your card on May 1st. Happy Stamping!

Inked &Tiled-Trust in the Lord

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / / ,

Here is another card creation from the retiring Inked & Tiled stamp set featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog (AC). Many of the products in this catalog and the January – April 2024 mini catalog will be retiring at the end of April, click below for the Last Chance lists.

Beginning April 9th many of these products will be on sale, but supplies are limited and will only be available while supplies last. If there is something you really want to add to your crafting stash, I would recommend you get it now while it is still available. Happy Shopping!

I created a panel of designer series paper using the single flower from the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I cut a strip of Basic White CS and randomly stamped the single flower using Calypso Coral ink. The first stamp was with full ink and I then stamped a second time before re-inking to create a lighter look, aka second generation stamping.

The greeting is from the Courage and Faith stamp set and is stamped with Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Nested Essential Dies to crop the greeting and added it to the card front as shown. I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful to share today. Happy Stamping!
