Medley Mix-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards / September 15, 2023

Well, I am continuing my week of tribute to my fellow crafty demonstrators with two cards created with the Medley Mix Bundle featured on page 57 in the Holiday Mini catalog. My cards today are brought to you by Sally Nusbaum and Julie Weber. Thanks girls for sharing your talents with us.

Sally used Moody Mauve ink and a Blending Brush with one of our decorative masks to create a fun background. We used the punch to crop the star from the Moody Mauve and Very Vanilla before adding these layers to the card. It is a great way to minimize your cardstock waste.

Julie used Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock to add a bit of texture to her card. I believe she used the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer paper to punch out the X’s. I hope you have fun creating with all of these card ideas.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Courage And Faith – Trust In The Lord!

4 Comments / Just Because Cards / August 8, 2023

Today’s card is a fun fold using the Courage and Faith stamp set with the Countryside Corners bundle and the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack. I love all the scripture saying in this set and of course love, love, love all the blues in this paper pack.

I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and scored it at 2-1/8 and at 4-1/4. I folded the card in half and the back onto itself at the 2-1/8″ score. The strip of designer series paper measures 2 x 4 and is layered on the folded back portion of the card front. I then cut the frames using the Countryside Corner dies with Blueberry Bushel and Boho Blossom cardstock.

I stamped the frame outline from Countryside Corners and the greeting from Courage and Faith with Blueberry Bushel on a piece of Basic White scrap and cut using the corner dies. Mount it to the left side of your card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add a few silver pearls and your card is complete.

I hope your heart is full of trust today and always. Happy Stamping!

Two Tone Flora-Hello There!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards / July 26, 2023 / Two Tone Flora

Sometimes you just need a flower pick me up and the Two Tone Flora stamp set is a perfect way to chase the blues away. This fun card was created using Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I stamped off for a second generation lighter image with the solid flower image with Blackberry Bliss ink. The detailed stamp in this two-step stamp set was inked and stamped with full juice!

The Mossy Meadow and the Blackberry Bliss combo gives a very elegant look, but every time I stamp with this set I am amazed at how great these florals look in all color combos. Try a few combos in both light and dark colors, I know you will not be disappointed. Happy Stampin’!

Coffee With Friends-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards / July 14, 2023

One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to gather with other demonstrators and share ideas. I recently had an opportunity to gather with about 28 other demos for a fun day of stamping and sharing.

Coffee was not involved and that truly is sad, but my card today was inspired by fellow demonstrator Angie Dixon. She created a lovely card swap and graciously gifted one to me. Her swap inspired me to create today’s card. Thanks Angie for your generosity!

This is a quick and easy fun fold card. I started with a Melon Mambo card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2 to create the basic card. To create the fun fold front, simply score the card front panel in the center at 2-3/4″ and fold back to create front fold. See photo below.

For the front panel cut a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Tahitian Tide and stamped the Sketched Plaid Background stamp w/Tahitian Tide ink. The dear friend is stamped with Tahitian Tide ink and fussy cut. The white panel with the girls is a piece of Basic White CS-3×3. You can round the corners for a softer look.

The girls are colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blend Markers. You can choose whatever color coordinates with your card base. This card looks like it took a long time to create, but trust me our Stampin’ Blend Combo alcohol markers makes color super fast and easy. Happy Stamping!
