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

Fantastic Friday~Fields In Bloom

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards /

It is always great when Friday rolls around, end of a work week for those of us who are not retired and/or stamping full time! Today, I am sharing another card I created using the Fields In Bloom stamp set. If you missed this week’s Make It Monday video, click here to check it out. I featured this stamp set.

I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Gorgeous Grape. The stems are stamped with Garden Green ink and the flower with Gorgeous Grape. I stamped the clouds with Balmy Blue and the greeting with Gorgeous Grape ink.

I hope you have fun playing with this new two step background stamp. Let me know it the comments if you think this is a versatile set. Happy Stamping!

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.

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!

#161 Make It Monday-You are Beautiful!

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!

https://youtu.be/c4I4G8luUI4

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. And don’t you think the You are Beautiful, the Grateful Blessings and the new Spotlight on Nature sets compliment each other nicely?

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!

New In-Colors Favorite Things Friday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

A shout out to all the wonderful moms and mom like figures in our lives. Praise God for all the love we have been given. I pray you will all have a blessed Mother’s Day weekend. If you change out the greeting in my card today, it could easily make a great Mother’s Day card.

Early this week I posted a Paper Pumpkin alternative card idea using the new In-Color Petunia Pop. Today, my card features the Shy Shamrock and an old favorite, Pretty In Pink. For those of you who were around several color refreshes ago, Pretty In Pink was a very popular color so I am thrilled they decided to bring it back. Click here to check out the new In-Colors in the Annual Catalog.

2024-2026 In Colors

I decided on a Basic White card base and used the Textured Floral stamp set for today’s card. I stamped the leaves in Shy Shamrock for the background panel and the flowers with Pretty In Pink. The flowered panel measures 3 x 4 and is backed with a thin layer of Basic Black CS. I also added a Basic Black layer to the leaves that measures 4 x 5-1/2. The leaf panel is 3-3/4 x 5.

I decided to add a black center for my flowers and stamp my greeting in black to tie it all together. I really love the way the black makes these softer In-Colors pop. I hope you enjoy creating with these amazing In-Colors. Happy Stamping!
