Hello Ladybug-Favorite Things Friday

2 Comments / Just Because Cards /

Happy Friday everyone! One of my favorite things is stamping with friends and tomorrow I will be with my friends at Mother of Good Council Nursing Home. Early this week I shared one of the cards I will be making and a stepped up version.

My first card today is the one we will be making in the card class tomorrow. I am sure the residents will love these cute little bugs and I hope you do too.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS- 1 ¼ x 5 ½      
  • Basic Black CS-  1 ½ x 5 ½Hello Ladybug Bundle

  • Real Red Ink
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

The second card is very similar. I used the dots from the bug wings to create the background and added the greeting on a piece of Real Red cardstock.

I hope you enjoy these adorable little bugs and create something fun to share with others.

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

Artfully Layered-Let’s Step it Up!

Just Because Cards / /

Hey friends it is that time of the month when I go to the nursing home in my community to create cards with the residents, so I thought I would share with you one of the cards I created for this Friday’s class. The first cards is the one we will be making at the home and the second is a stepped up version.

I began with a Basic White card base because my friends at the home prefer white cards, but I wanted to add a bit of color, so I took a Blending Brush and added a bit of color to each of the strips. For this first sample I used Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green. I used the Tailored Tag (sorry I think it is retired) to create the greeting.

Here is my stepped up version. I have tried using bling in these classes, but sometimes it frustrates the residents as they don’t always have the coordination they would like.

This is basically the same card, I just moved the black accent piece on the greeting to the bottom and added a few gems. The Melon Mambo and the Mango Melody panels are the same, but on this one I decided to go with Bermuda Bay instead of Granny Apple Green.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS- 1-5/8 (3), 2 x 2½   
  • Basic Black CS- 2 x 2½

  • Memento Black Ink
  • Melon Mambo Ink
  • Mango Melody Ink
  • Granny Apple Green Ink
  • Bermuda Bay Ink
  • Blending Brushes

I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Still At the Beach-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

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.

Sweet Friend-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

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.

You Really Measure Up!

2 Comments / Just Because Cards /

Sometimes life is not a bowl of cherries, but today’s card is, actually three bowls! What could be better than that?

If you have a good friend, I am sure he or she would appreciate getting this sweet card in the mail. I created this card using the Measure of Love stamp set. Hopefully you have this one in your stamping stash!

I began with the retiring Misty Moonlight In-Color as my card base and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock. I then stamped three bowls with Misty Moonlight ink on some Basic White scrap and fussy cut using my paper snips! Yes, fussy cut, but the bowls are really easy and it makes it so much quicker to stamp the cherries first and then add the bowls on top.

The scale, greeting and cherries are stamped directly to the Basic White CS panel and layered to the card front.

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