Thank You

Colorful Flowers-Favorite Things Friday!

Don’t you just love colorful flowers? The only down side is depending on what kind, they don’t last very long. I love tulips and they definitely don’t last long after they are cut. Today’s flowers will not fade. I used the Color and Contour stamp set and some of our famous watercolor pencils. To create the blended color look on the flowers, I used a blender pen.

#blender pen

I started with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Pacific Point (2 ¾  x 4 ¼). The flowers are stamped on scrap white, colored and cropped with coordinating dies. The greeting is from Something Fancy.

The Pacific Point is retiring and may not be available, but Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel would be great alternative. This is a super simple and very quick card, but I hope it inspires you to create something beautiful.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Sentimental Park Bundle

My card today was created using the new Sentimental Park Bundle. This new bundle is available in the mini 2023 Spring catalog. This is a super sweet card, but I would not consider it to be a clean and simple card. It is not hard by any means, but does have a few moving parts and several steps for using the dies.

I began with a Basic White card base and embossed another layer of Basic White using the 3-D Fern embossing folder. I added that to a layer of Night of Navy and then to the card front. The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Sun Prints pack. I cut my strip to be 2 x 5¼. The squares are dies from Stylish Shapes and all other dies are included in the Sentimental Park Bundle.

I love all the little flower dies that come in this bundle. They are great for adding that additional embellishment, here I used one on the greeting which I stamped with Night of Navy ink. The other flowers are cut using Basic White and Night of Navy CS with the stem from Old Olive.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I really am enjoying this set and love all the greeting possibilities. Happy Stamping!

Two Things-Favorite Things Friday!

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.

Big Hooray and Two Tone Flora

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!

Honeybee Home Bundle

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.

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.

Nestled Friends-Favorite Things Friday!

I am really going to make an effort this month to feature more of our In-Colors. We have so many fabulous colors, sometimes I forget about the In-Colors. Today’s card was created using Tahitian Tide. I sponged some of the color around the greeting and attached it to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sweet set is the Nestled Friends Bundle from the January-April mini catalog. If you are a bird lover, this set is for you and I think you are really going to love the detailed dies for the birds nest. I colored my bird, nest and branches using watercolor pencisl

The eggs are cut using the dies in the bundle from Balmy Blue because I thought the Tahitian Tide was a bit too bright for a robin’s egg. Don’t forget you can use the Blender Pens to blend your coloring!

Project Measurements

  • Tahitian Tide CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base), 3 x 4
