Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards /

Well even though Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter, here is another fun card created using the Easter Bunny and the Thanks a Bunch set. Spring is that favorite time of year where everything blooms and those adorable little bunnies seem to pop up everywhere.

I colored my bunny with Crumb Cake and Flirty Flamingo Blend Combos. The carrots are stamped with Pumpkin Pie and carrot tops, Garden Green. The carrots and the bunny are fussy cut using Paper Snips.

A True Friend-Easter Bunny!

Get Well & Sympathy, Just Because Cards /

This adorable Easter Bunny set does not have to wait for Easter. I created this fun card for a very dear friend of mine who is recovering from surgery. I thought this sweet little bunny would bring a smile to her face and hopefully make her feel a little better. I used the Easter Bunny set and the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

#blessedbycards

I stamped the carrot with Old Olive ink and colored it using our blender pens, the Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie inks. I used an X-acato knife to cut a slit to slide the carrot into his hands. I stamped the bunny with Memento Black ink on white and only colored his ears and his paws in pink. The greeting is also stamped with Memento Black ink.

Project Measurements

  • Blushing Bride CS- 8½ x 5½ (card base) 4 x 5¼
  • Basic White CS-4¼ x 5¼ , 3 x 3
  • Easter Bunny Stamp Set
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Flirty Flamingo Marker Combo
  • Old Olive Ink
  • Pumpkin  Pie Ink
  • Blender Pens
  • Deckled Rectangle Dies
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive
  • Paper Snips

I hope both you and my dear friend enjoy this card. Create something beautiful to share this week and make the world a better place, one card at a time.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Love Cats!

While it is true, Christmas is over, the lights are still twinkling and joy is still in the air, at least at my house! So I thought it would be good to remind you that there are only 2 days left to order from the holiday mini catalog. If you are like me then you already have most everything from that catalog, but just in case you are a last minute shopper, tomorrow is the last day!

It is always sad to say good-bye to our Christmas sets, but don’t despair because spring is just around the bend and to cheer us on we have the new “Spring Mini” and the January-February 2023 SALE-A-BRATIONS catalogs. That’s right folks! This Thursday, January 5th, the spring mini goes live and you can begin earning free products for every $50 you spend.  Just place an order from the 2022-2023 annual catalog or the new “Spring Mini” any time between January 5 and February 23, 2023.

 If earning free products is not exciting enough, I am sure you will love the new purple cover on the new “Spring Mini”.  It just brings a smile to my face!  My card today is a sneak peek of a new set in the mini catalog, Love Cats!

Merriest Moments Hybrid Folder

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Just Because Cards / /

Yesterday I shared with you a video on the Merriest Moments stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder featured in the July-December 2022 holiday catalog and today, I am sharing the card I created using just the floral cut out without the detailed embossing.

If you missed yesterday’s Make It Monday tutorial, click here! For all of my Make it Monday video tutorials, visit my YouTube Channel-click here!

#blessedbycards

This embossing folder is quite versatile. As you can see for today’s card I simply cut out the floral image with Fresh Freesia cardstock and did not emboss the images. I did use the Stampin’ Blending Brush to add a bit of Fresh Freesia ink around the edges for added definition.

The greeting is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink using the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. This card is also featured in the video, so again if you missed that, click here! Happy Stamping!

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

Flash Color Challenge-October Pumpkin Patch!

Card Challenges, Just Because Cards / / ,

One of the fun things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is being a part of a team with other very talented crafters. This week one of my uplines issued a Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze color challenge. Here is the card I created to post on our private facebook page.

#blessedbycards
#octoberflashchallenge

Project Measurements

  • Crumb Cake CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base),4 x 5¼
  • Cajun Craze CS-4 x 5¼
  • Pear Pizazz CS- 3x 4
  • Memento Black Ink
  • This Birthday Piggy
  • Hello Harvest Bundle
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Leaf Fall Embossing Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

I used the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine to dry emboss the Leaf Fall folder with Cajun Craze CS and attached it to the card front. The pumpkins are cropped using the dies in the Hello Harvest Bundle. The “thinking of you” greeting is from This Birthday Piggy was stamped with Memento Black ink on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz CS.

I always find color challenges challenging and technically I don’t think I was supposed to use Memento Black ink. I should have stamped it with Cajun Craze ink. I am looking forward to seeing what my teammates post this month.

Today’s card is a mix of fall leaves and flowers using the Fond of Autumn Bundle featured in the July – December mini catalog. I also used some of the seasonal sequins to add a finishing touch of a little bling.

Take Me Back Tuesday!

Just Because Cards /

Yesterday I was cleaning up my craft room and going through some old cards in preparation for an October craft fair event and I came across several cards that I created using the sponging technique to create skylines. I can even remember the name of this stamp set and dies but I know it was at least 4 years ago.

If I had to guess on what colors I used, I would say Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie. So go ahead and pull out your sponges and/or blending brushes and give this sunset a try.

It just reminded me of a peaceful summer day. It always feels like the end of summer once we celebrate Labor Day, so I thought I would share this card as a perfect way to end summer. Now if only the weather would stop being so humid, that would be grand!

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