Hey folks we continue our Friday fun with more swaps from the talented crafters on my team. Nothing beats stamping with friends. I hope you enjoy these cards. Thanks to all who so generously shared their talents.
Remember when we were kids and we dreaded Mondays? Well not anymore because each Monday I get to share a new video with you and hopefully provide a little inspiration for your crafting project. Today I am sharing three cards that I created with the new You Are Beautiful stamp set. And for my third card I also used the new Grateful Blessings set. I know my craft room is my happy place, so let’s get on with it!

I usually don’t go for the Poppy Parade but I guess this week I just need a little something bright in my Monday. I love the bright and cheery look of the Lemon Lime Twist with the Poppy Parade. And don’t you think the You are Beautiful, the Grateful Blessings and the new Spotlight on Nature sets compliment each other nicely?
Sorry I missed a few posts I was out of town for a funeral. Well I am back now and excited to share with you a new stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, You Are Beautiful! This set is featured on page 93 and has a variety of encouraging greetings.
I find these greeting so uplifting and I am sure you will be seeing a lot of these is the very near future. But for now, here is the card I created using the leaf from this set, Lemon Lime Twist ink, Garden Green ink, Garden Green, and Basic White cardstock.
The white layer on top of my Garden Green card base measures 4 x 5-1/4 and the second white base is 3-1/2 x 4-3/4. The greeting is stamped with Garden Green ink on a white 3/4 x 2-1/2 panel attached to a 1 x 2-5/8 piece of Garden Green cardstock. I hope the greetings in this set will inspire you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae
Hello my stamping friends I hope you are all planning to have a relaxing holiday weekend. Today I am stamping with my nursing home friends at Mother of Good Council and thought I would share my cards with you. I am using some oldie but goodies today and yes, they are all retired, but you can still create beautiful cards with whatever stamp sets you have in your stash.
My first card was created using the butterflies from last month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit. I used the retired Wisteria Wonder cardstock and ink to stamp a tone on tone look.
For my second card I used the retired Nature’s Prints and Happy Thoughts stamp sets. I used a current ink, Berry Burst and a retired ink, Pistachio Pudding. Remember that color?
For my last card I used the Field of Flowers stamp set, Shaded Spruce (current), Lovely Lipstick (retired) and Memento Black (current) inks. I think they are going to like this one because of the bright colors. It will be fun to see how many come to the class today!
FYI-There will not be a Make It Monday video this week. No, the holiday weekend is not making me lazy, although that would be nice. Many of you know that my mom passed away 2 years ago in June and unfortunately on Sunday, my Aunt (mom’s sister) passed away so I will be busy gathering with family for the funeral and burial. I appreciate your understanding and will be back with another Make It Monday in June. You can also join me on Wednesdays for a Weekly Wednesday video to make a card together.

My card today is a little different as I am using a 4×4 piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP and a Boho Blue card base. I added a strip of the Boho Blue diagonally across the designer series paper panel before attaching it to my card front. I stamped a greeting from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set on the Boho Blue strip.
The greeting at the bottom of my card is from the Textured Floral stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink. This paper is so soft and sweet and makes a perfect thinking of you card. Happy Stamping!

A shout out to all the wonderful moms and mom like figures in our lives. Praise God for all the love we have been given. I pray you will all have a blessed Mother’s Day weekend. If you change out the greeting in my card today, it could easily make a great Mother’s Day card.
Early this week I posted a Paper Pumpkin alternative card idea using the new In-Color Petunia Pop. Today, my card features the Shy Shamrock and an old favorite, Pretty In Pink. For those of you who were around several color refreshes ago, Pretty In Pink was a very popular color so I am thrilled they decided to bring it back. Click here to check out the new In-Colors in the Annual Catalog.
2024-2026 In Colors
I decided on a Basic White card base and used the Textured Floral stamp set for today’s card. I stamped the leaves in Shy Shamrock for the background panel and the flowers with Pretty In Pink. The flowered panel measures 3 x 4 and is backed with a thin layer of Basic Black CS. I also added a Basic Black layer to the leaves that measures 4 x 5-1/2. The leaf panel is 3-3/4 x 5.
I decided to add a black center for my flowers and stamp my greeting in black to tie it all together. I really love the way the black makes these softer In-Colors pop. I hope you enjoy creating with these amazing In-Colors. Happy Stamping!

I am sure you will love, love, love, the new Latte Love Bundle that was released last month. This is an online exclusive and although our new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live today, click below to download your digital copy, this sweet bundle will not be featured. You can however,click hereto see this bundle and many more online exclusive stamp sets that are available for purchase. So let’s create a super fun card today.

I started with an Early Espresso card base and added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the new So Sweetly Embossing folder featured on page 129. Although you cannot tell from the catalog, this embossing folder is super sized and perfect for creating those larger card fronts and slimline cards. This embossing folder measures 6 x 8 -1/2. The Dotted Circle Embossing folder is also supersized. All other folders pictured on page 129 are regular size.
The Early Espresso piece on the front measures 2-3/8 x 4 and the coffee bean designer series paper measures 2-1/4 x 3-7/8. I used my paper snips to fussy cut the coffee cups and the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss to crop the spoons. Just add three little brown gems and your card is ready to send. I really love the way the So Swirly embossing folder brings out the background of this card. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more if it in the future.
