Two Things-Favorite Things Friday!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 10, 2023

So today, I thought I would share with you two favorite things and although they are totally unrelated, they are still favorite things!

First, I am just loving the new Cane Weave embossing folder. It adds such great texture to any card. I am using it today in combination with the Two Tone Flora stamp set. My card is created with Highland Heather cardstock and the images are stamped with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks.

This embossing folder is featured in the new Spring mini catalog.

My second favorite thing is teaching a monthly class at my local nursing home, Mother of Good Counsel Home and here is just one of the cards they will be making today. I began with a Real Red card base.

The black checked strip was created using the Buffalo Check Background stamp which is sadly now retired. Yes, it was a favorite and as you can see I am still using it. I do tend to use retired products when working with my friends from Mother of Good Counsel because we all loved our retired things and it just feels good to keep using them.

The large hearts and the greeting are current products and available in the 2022-2023 annual catalog, but don’t go looking for the small hearts, they are long gone, but you can always use the new Country Bouquet Punch.

Leave me a comment and let me know what one of your favorite toys from Stampin’ Up! Happy Stamping!

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

Big Hooray and Two Tone Flora

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 8, 2023

And now that we are into February it is good to know that I am keeping my New Year’s stamping promises. One to use more Stampin’ Up! In-Colors and two, to feature more products from the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I used the Starry Sky ink for the flower and the greeting. To create a softer/lighter image for the solid flower, simply stamp off on some scrap paper before adding image to your white panel.

My card base is Starry Sky CS and I added a white panel to the card front before adding a layer of the Sun Prints DSP. Layering is such a fun way to create a clean and simple card.

Although the new In-Color, Starry Night, is the only ink I used, my card today also features the Two Toned Flora from the spring mini catalog, and two products from the annual catalog, the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack and the Big Hooray stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I am really loving how super easy it is to create elegant cards using the Two Tone Flora Bundle! I hope you create and share something beautiful today! Happy Stamping!

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

Honeybee Home Bundle

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / January 10, 2023

I hope you all had a great holiday. I was a bit under the weather the past few weeks, and am tying to get my crafting mojo back. Nothing like some seasonal allergies in the dead of winter to make a body lazy. Today I am featuring the Honeybee Home Bundle from the annual catalog. Yes, I am seriously trying to keep my New Year’s promise to feature more annual catalog sets! Like all New Year’s Resolutions, it is pretty early so I am going to do my best to stay faithful to posting at least 2 cards a month that feature the annual catalog.

Our Honeybee Home Bundle is such a dainty set, so I decided to pair it with the Dainty Flowers Designers Series Paper. This is one of the paper packs that you can earn free this month. If you don’t already have this amazing bundle, add it to your cart today.

Project Measurements

Basic White CS- 8½ x 5½ (card base), 4 x 5¼
Dainty Flower DSP- 4 x 5¼
Basic White CS- scrap for oval
Memento Black Ink
Starry Night Ink
Honeybee Home Bundle
Framed Florets Bundle
Starry Night Stampin’ Blend Combo
Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend Combo
Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend Combo
Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend Combo
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive
Stampin’ Dimensionals

I created the white oval using one of the dies in the Framed Florets Bundle. These are fantastic dies and I really miss our oval dies, so I am sure I will be using the center of these dies a lot. The paper is the Starry Night design from the Dainty Flowers. I love how this designer paper pack has great flowers for that stand alone card, as well as, some fun colored designs for creating cards like the one today.
