An Evening Evergreen Simply Succulent Thanks!

2 Comments / Thank You / July 8, 2021

My daughter came home for a Father’s Day visit and since she is a first grade school teacher, she did not have to rush home so we decide to play in my craft room. Fun right? She created a variety of amazing cards, most of them using retired sets, but she also created this one and I am happy to share it with you.

It is a very simple design, but I love the elegance of the Evening Evergreen and the Very Vanilla cardstock. This background die would also look amazing in some foil sheets and or even some glitter paper. I hope you have fun creating! We certainly did!

A Forever Favorite-Forever Fern!

Thank You / July 6, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Forever Fern

I know there are so many new sets to choose from and yet, I just love, love, love the look of our Forever Fern set and dies. For my card today I did not use any of the dies from the bundle, but I did use the brick and mortar embossing folder.

I also did a bit of masking with the berries and the leaves. It was not hard and I love how it turned out. The “Thanks” is from the Artistically Inked set. Stamping directly on an embossed surface can be tricky so I used my paper snips to fussy cut the greeting and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Watercolors and Simply Succulent

2 Comments / Thank You / July 3, 2021

The Simply Succulent bundle pairs beautifully with the watercolor technique. Todays card was created using watercolor pencils, the new in-color inks and the watercolor painters.

I started out stamping the large succulents in black using Stazon ink on some Thick Basic White Cardstock. The Stazon ink works best for the watercoloring while Memento Black works better with alcohol markers. The inks featured in todays sample include Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider inks.

When I watercolor, I like to use a small acrylic block as a color pallet. I stamp the smallest blocks in the ink pads and pull color from them using the water painters. When using the watercolor pencils I take the water painter directly to pencil tip.

Vine Design Framed Thank You

Thank You / June 23, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Scalloped Contours Dies, Vine Design

Today’s card features the Vine Design Bundle and the Scalloped Contours Dies. I combined two of the dies to create a frame and added it on top of the fancy oval die in the Vine Design Bundle. The Bermuda Bay and Basic Black are perfectly paired to create an elegant thank you card.

The Bermuda Bay layer on top of the card base is dry embossing using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing folder. The “Thanks” is from the new Artistically Inked stamp set. I stamped it on Bermuda Bay cardstock in Memento Black ink and cut it out using my Paper Snips.

The Vine Design Bundle will be retiring at the end of this month! Just sayin! Don’t forget about the FREE SHIPPING offer for orders over $50-this Thursday only!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / June 17, 2021

My hubby and I recently returned home from a visit to Virginia Beach to be with his mom. While it was not a vacation, as she is unable to live alone, it was an enjoyable visit.

True Love is Designer Series Paper

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / June 15, 2021 / Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Blend Markers, True Love

Creating cards with the True Love black and white paper pack is not only easy but quick. This card came together in a matter of minutes. The only part that took a bit of time was the coloring of the flowers. Even that can be quick when using the Stampin’ Blend markers.

I love these alcohol markers because the combo pack of light and dark makes blending a breeze. Check out the variety of colors in the annual catalog on pages 122-123.

Supplies

Basic Black Cardstock- 5½ x 8½, 3-1/8 x 5-5/8,1½ x 2½,
Basic White Cardstock- 4 x 5¼, 3 ¼ x 4 ¾, 1½ x 2½,
True Love Designer Series Paper- flowers (cut with paper snips), 3 x 4½ (dotted), 2 x 5¼
Stampin’ Blend Marker Combo- Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Paper Snips
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

Directions

Score Basic Black cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold & burnish.
Attach 2 x 5¼ strip of True Love DSP to the left side of card front.
Layer the True Love dotted DSP panel to the Basic Black panel and then layer to the 3¼ x 4¾ Basic White panel. Layer all to the card front as shown above.
Stamp greeting in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and crop using the Double Oval Punch. I used the thank you from Beauty of Friendship, but you have a ton of options, so go crazy.
Crop a scallop oval in Basic Black using the Double Oval Punch.
Layer the greeting oval to the black oval and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color several flowers and leaves from the True Love DSP and use paper snips to fussy cut and attach to front of card.
Add 4 x 5¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

There are a few different layers to this card, but it really does come together quickly and the pop of color created with the Stampin’ Blend markers is the perfect finish to an elegant card. This would make a great wedding or anniversary card. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

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