Happy Monday everyone! I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek for a new bundle that will be coming in September in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Coming this fall, Winterly Tree Tops. I know you will have fun creating all year round with this adorable set of birds and greenery. Even though it will debut in the Holiday Mini, it is definitely a set that is great for all seasons.

My mom would have loved this set. She always enjoyed sitting on her deck and watching the birds, especially in the spring as they were building their nests. If you are a bird lover, this bundle is for you!

Everyday Details Bundle-With Sympathy

Get Well & Sympathy /

Today I am sharing with you a sweet sympathy card I made for a friend who recently lost her mom. This card was created using the Everyday Details Bundle. There is something so soft and sweet about this Robin’s nest of eggs and I do hope it brings my friend a little bit of comfort during this time of sorrow.

Losing a loved one is always so difficult and many of you know that no matter how old we get, the loss of your mom is a difficult cross to endure.

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped my Robin’s nest with some Memento Black ink. I also stamped the greeting with Memento Black. The greeting is from Something Fancy pictured on page 34 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I colored the image with our Stampin’ Blend markers, Old Olive, Bronze and Pool Party. Finish off your card with some bling of your choice. I added one of our Tinsel Gems.

It think this is going to be a very popular bundle. The samples in the catalog are super sweet and this makes not only a great sympathy card but would also make an amazing Mother’s Day card, thinking of you, and birthday card. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Feel Better Soon!

Get Well & Sympathy /

On Monday I posted a video on how to create a background using a watercoloring technique and today I am sharing a card that I created using that technique. I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Poppy Parade re-inkers to create my background. It is amazing how changing out the colors gets a different background every time.

I began with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Highland Heather and then another layer of Basic Black before adding the watercolor layer. The greeting is from the Wanted to Say Dies and is cropped using Basic Black and Highland Heather cardstock.

Since it is cold and flu season I thought it might be a good idea to stock up on my get well soon cards. I hope you stay healthy! Happy Stamping.

With Sympathy-Two Tone Flora

Get Well & Sympathy /

Well it appears as though I am continuing with my theme of Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss. Sometimes when I am getting my crafting on, I start creating with the same color schemes. Does that ever happen to you? I was recently crafting with my dear friend Sr. Bernard and I just could not get enough of the Mossy Meadow/ Blackberry Bliss combo.

#blessedbycards

You have to admit, these colors are perfect for a sympathy card and I love the look of these two sets together. But enough is enough, so I promise I will post a bold and bright card for Friday!!! Stop back and see what exciting colors I choose. I promise it won’t be Mossy Meadow or Blackberry Bliss. Happy Stamping!

Hope and Prayer-Simple Dove

2 Comments / Get Well & Sympathy, Thinking of You /

One little stamp from the Hope and Prayer stamp set is what created the background on my white panel today. I began with a Night of Navy card base and on a 3¾ x 5 white panel I stamped the floral image in Night of Navy Ink to create 6 lines as a background panel.

I used a Blending Brush to add Night of Navy ink on all edges of the white panel. To another white panel (2½ x 3¾) stamp the dove and greeting and use blending brush to add color on all edges.

#blessedbycards

I really like the way this little stamp creates a background that looks like a piece of Designer Series Paper. Change up the colors and create a variety of Happy Stamping!

Back to the Ocean!

Get Well & Sympathy /

A few weeks ago I posted an ocean scene card from Virginia Beach, click here if you missed that post. Unfortunately we are heading back to the ocean, not for a visit with my mother -in-law this time, but for her funeral. It is hard to believe that only 6 days after returning to St. Louis from a great visit the Lord called her home so quickly. Rest in Peace, mom! So of course I thought it would be appropriate to post an Ocean Sympathy card today.

I began with a Misty Moonlight card base and added a layer of Mossy Meadow. My Basic White CS measures 3¾ x 5 and that is where I did my blending. My ocean/sky was created with Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight. You can use the Blending Brushes or sponges. I tend to be a sponge girl, but either will work.

The greenery is stamped with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive ink. The sandy beach and the rocks were stamped with Crumb Cake. With Deepest Sympathy is part of the Something Fancy stamp set that was featured last month in the mini and is now in our 2023-2024 annual catalog.

I almost forgot to mention the star of the show, Oceanfront. I do love this set and I love visiting the ocean, but I am sure this trip will be very different from 2 weeks ago. Check out this set, you won’t be disappointed. I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful.

Hope Anchors the Soul

Get Well & Sympathy, Thinking of You /

I believe that everyone needs a little hope now and then. The Hope and Prayer stamp set featured in the 2023 Annual catalog is perfect for sending a little hope in the mail. I hope my card today brings a ray of hope to you today. I am a firm believer that there is always room for hope, so if you are having one of those days, I hope my card cheers you up just a bit.

#blessedbycards

I began with a Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Sun Prints Designer Series paper. The first layer measures 4 x 5 -1/4 and the smaller layer measures 2-1/2 x 4 and is backed with a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8 panel of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel (1-3/4 x 2-3/4).

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
