A Team Swap-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards / April 29, 2022

One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is being a part of an amazing team of very talented fellow demonstrators. You too could be a part of this team and have fun participating in demonstrator only events. Recently Stampin’ Up! offered an online On Tour event for all demonstrators and my team participated in a card swap.

Here are just a few of the cards I received. Tune in tomorrow for more fun cards from this swap.

Join my team today and be a part of our next team swap. Tune in tomorrow for more amazing team swaps.

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

Still At the Beach-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 22, 2022

Yay, it’s Friday and I decided why not continue the beach theme, especially now that the weather is warming up. The only thing better than relaxing at the beach would be swimming in the ocean, or anywhere really, as long as there aren’t any sharks! LOL

Today’s card features the Seas the Day Bundle and the Ocean Front stamp set. I created the beach scene first, added a sunset and used the largest die from the bundle to add some depth to the front of my card. I used the 1″ circle punch to create a sunset mask and applied Daffodil Delight ink using a sponge dauber.

Today’s card is just a warm up for tomorrow’s InKing Royal blog hop. I hope you will join me again tomorrow for some amazing Ocean and Sea cards from my fellow demonstrators. It is sure to be a fun hop, so plan to join us.

I began my card today with a Pool Party base and added a splash of Calypso Coral color to match my fishes. The Seas The Day bundle is available until June, but why wait when you can add it to your stamping stash today. In addition to the bundle I also used the Gentle Waves background stamp. It made creating my ocean a breeze! LOL

Sweet Friend-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 15, 2022

Wow I cannot believe it is already Friday, and Good Friday at that. Can you believe that April is already half over? Easter time is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a good excuse to bake something sweet. This year my parents are coming over for brunch so I plan to make homemade cinnamon rolls.

My card today is a tribute to all those bakers in your life and features the Measure of Love stamp set. It is not only a fun and easy card, it is very colorful too!

I began with a Pacific Point cards base and added a layer of Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo. The white panel was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The bowls are stamped with Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz inks, and yes, I fussy cut the bowls with my paper snips.

Arrange the bowls along the side and stamp the greeting with Pacific Point ink. Add a layer of white to the inside and feel free to decorate the inside with other bowl.
