Delicate Forest

Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing a super simple card using the Delicate Forest stamp set available in the January-April 2024 mini catalog. This fun silhouette stamp set is great for a thinking of you, a sympathy card or just an encouraging card for a friend in need. I started with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Boho Blossom.

I stamped the silhouette flower with Memento Black ink on a 2 x 4.75″ panel of Basic White and mounted it on a piece of Basic Black that measures 1/8″ larger. I stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink on a panel of 3/4 x 3″ piece of Basic White and used my paper snips to cut the end at an angle.

I attached the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a little bit of Black dot bling, but of course you can used whatever colors you want and add bling to match. That is one of the great things about our stamping accessories, there is a color to match everything! Happy Stamping!

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

Fun with Metallic Enamel Effects

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You /

Well we made it to Friday, yahoo! It has been a week. I guess some weeks are just busier than others and I think we will all agree that no matter how busy life gets there is always time for crafting. Today I am sharing a card I made using our Metallic Enamel Effect. These amazing bottles are so great for adding a special touch to your crafting project. The only real trick is patience. You will need to let them dry completely before you assemble.

It may be difficult to see how beautiful they really are with just a photos, so I suggest you order a set today and give them a try. I admit I was a bit impatient and perhaps I did not let mine dry completely. It still looks good, just some of my dots may be a little more flat.

I chose a Starry Sky card base and added another Starry Sky layer that I dry embossed using the new Layered Floral embossing folder. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. I choose to accent the smaller flowers with a dot of the silver Metallic Enamel Effects, again you will need to let them dry completely! No problem right? We can just move onto another crafting project while it dries.

Metallic Enamel Effects

I stamped my greeting with Starry Sky ink and although I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach my floral layer, I do think that would be a nice added touch. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. Happy Stamping!

Be of Good Courage

Thinking of You / / ,

Happy Stamping everyone. Wow yesterday’s weather was a little scary. We had quite a bit of ice here in St. Louis. I would so prefer snow, but luckily I could work from home and did not have to go out in the mess. Kuddos to all our nurses, doctors, and emergency responders who always brave the weather to keep us healthy and safe.

Today I thought I would share a card I created using the Painted Posies 3 D Embossing folder and the Courage and Faith stamp set, both in the annual 2023-2024 catalog. I began with a Bo Ho Blossom blue card base and added a layer of Starry Sky. I love how these two blues pair together.

I embossed the Starry Sky panel with the Painted Posies 3-D embossing folder using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine. I then added it to the card front. I stamped the greeting from Courage and Faith on a panel of Basic White CS with Starry Sky ink and then cropped it using the new Perennial Postage dies featured in the January 2024 mini catalog.

Painted Posies Embossing Folder

Sometimes letting our designer series paper or our amazing embossing folders do all the work makes for a clean and simple card that is fantastically fun. Happy Stamping!

Hills of Tuscany Meet Meandering Meadows

Thinking of You / /

I just love it when our stamp sets and paper coordinate and today’s cards is a perfect match. I took a piece of the Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper (online exclusive product) and paired it with the new Hills of Tuscany stamp set featured in the January 2024 mini catalog and I have to admit, I like the results. I was not initially going to get this set, but my daughter thought it would be cool and she was right!

Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper

I chose my designer series paper from the pack and cut it to be 4 x 5 -1/4. I then stamped the house and tree images from the directly to the designer series paper. I stamped the house with Cajun Craze, the roof with Gray Granite, the trees with Garden Green and the pebbles with Early Espresso Ink.

The greeting is stamped with Memento Black and then I added the panel to a Petal Pink card front. I love how the Petal Pink coordinates perfectly with the shaded sky in this paper. This paper pack is an online exclusive and coordinates with the Garden Meadows Bundle.

I hope this card inspires you. I know the artist who created this paper has certainly inspired me. Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back on Friday to check out our Favorite Things Friday series.

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