Simply Flowing Flowers

Thank You /

Hello my stamping friends, I am back today with another Favorite Things Friday featuring a clean and simple card using the new Flowing Flowers stamp set in the January – June 2022 mini catalog. This set is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the new catalog.

I love how simple and elegant these flowers look, especially when you stamp them in a variety of colors.

My card today begins with a Basic White card base and I used Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Old Olive inks. The light gray highlight around the card is just so you can see the image more clearly. Although it would also look good backed with Smoky Slate CS-who knew?

The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and punched with the Label Me Lovely punch., which I layered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also add a few pearls that were in my stamping stash!

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

Winter Snow and Sunflowers-Favorite Things friday!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You /

Well it has been snowing here in St. Louis for the last two days. One of my favorite things is a fresh snow, shoveling, not so much. I think we accumulated at least 9 inches of snow yesterday and was out shoveling twice. Needless to say that was my exercise for the day. Today, I am hoping for sunny skies and although we are a long way off from sunflowers, we can always craft them right?

Today’s card begins with a Early Espresso card base and a little hope for sunshine. I added a piece of the Sale-a-bration DSP Afternoon Delight to the left side and dry embossed another piece of Early Espresso with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.

The flowers are colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The tag was created with the Double Oval punch and embellished with some linen thread. This stamp set, Jar of Flowers, is available in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

Sweet As A peach-Thank You!

Thank You /

Today’s project features the Sweet as a Peach Bundle and the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.

I began with a Calypso Coral card base and two pieces of the You’re A Peach DSP that measures 3 x 4. I choose the floral and the polka dot. You will also need a few pieces of Basic White cardstock.

I stamped the peaches in Calypso Coral ink and cropped them with the coordinating dies from the bundle. I stamped the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink directly to the white cardstock panel and then added the peaches. The greeting is stamped in Memento Black and all is layered on the card front.

I also added a strip of Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card. I had fun creating the layers for this card and hope you will too. Plus it was super easy and went together very quickly.

The greeting is from Blessings of Home. I am bumming because it is a little crooked. I knew I should have used the Stamparatus. Oh well, I guess it has that homemade look.

Holiday Thank You Cards-Favorite Things Friday!

Thank You / / ,

One can never have too many Thank You cards on hand and while one of my favorite things is creating Christmas cards, I also love it when our Holiday sets can be used for more than one occasion.

Today I am featuring two thank you cards that I created using the Penguin Place Bundle and the Angel of Peace stamp set from the July -December mini catalog. If you have not had a chance to check these out, here they are!

The first card was created using a Basic White card base and Pacific Point ink. I love these adorable penguins and you can dress them up for whatever however you want. The stars in this set stamp beautifully and will be great for a variety of occasions.

I punched out my penguins using the coordinating punch in the bundle, but you could also stamp them directly onto the cardstock. The feet were stamped directly to the Basic White card panel and I just popped the penguins on top.

Supplies

  • Pacific Point CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2), 3×4  
  • Penguin Place Bundle
  • Pacific Point Ink
  • Calypso Coral Ink
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

My second card was created with the Angels of Peace stamp set. I love how soft and elegant this set is and it is perfect for a sweet thank you card. Add a little color and a few pearls and you have a super sweet, but incredibly simple thank you card.

Supplies

  • Night of Navy CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2), 1 x 2  
  • Angels of Peace Stamp Set
  • Artistically Inked Bundle
  • Night of Navy Ink
  • Watercolor Pencils
  • Basic Jewel Pearls
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

Festive Fall and Gorgeous Leaves

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Just Because Cards, Thank You /

Thanks again to my friend Cherie from Columbia, MO who created both of today’s cards. She came to visit at the beginning of October to attend the Cards and Cocktails event that I hosted for World Card Making Day. That was great fun and we are definitely doing that again, although I don’t think I am going to wait until next October! I was thinking of a January event to ring in the new year, stay tuned for details on when and where!

Both of today’s cards were created using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. It is quite appropriate as the weather here in St. Louis is quite brisk. The leaves are beginning to turn, but are not as vibrant as the ones in our card samples,! Oh well, perhaps next year.

  • Add 4 x 5 ¼ white panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

Card # 2 is again using the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle and some rich fall colors. It is stepped up from the last card and I absolutely love how it turned out. This would make such a great male birthday card or even a sympathy card.

Thank You with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper

2 Comments / Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / / ,

My husband and I took a road trip to Perryopolis, PA and we stayed at an adorable Airbnb in Urbana Ohio. It was Monument Square Suites if you want to look it up. Not only was the suite perfectly cleaned and elegantly decorated, it was walking distance to some local shops and restaurants. The front and back of the home had the most amazing flowers and greenery.  I am always grateful to people who have a talent for growing things.

My card today is the extent of my green thumb.  We all have different gifts and talents. Mine just lies in paper crafting and not potted soil. LOL The Hand-Penned Bundle and Designer Series paper pair perfectly with water coloring and is the focus of my card today.
