Happy Wednesday everyone. It is time again to create a quick and easy card together. Today I am featuring a clean and simple three strip designer series paper technique. You can create all types of cards using this technique. Enjoy the video and the extra bonus card at the end of this post.

And now today’s bonus card…..

This is some of our retired patterned paper, but it is still a great choice. I mounted the three strips of DSP on a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of Crushed Curry, but you will want to choose a color that coordinates with your paper. For this sample I used the same paper pack, coordinating colors, but a different strip for each section. The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and fussy cut with our paper snips. I love our snips, they make fussy cuttings so easy. Click here for our paper snips!

I hope you enjoyed today’s video. Don’t forget to check out the new rewards program. Have a fantastic day…..Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Weekly Wed. #50 Friends of the Ocean

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday. I am once again featuring two cards I created using the Friends of the Ocean paper pack. It is time to think about venturing out to the beach. Summer will be here before you know it.

Our first card was created using the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I don’t often use this color, but it coordinates perfectly with this paper pack. Plus it is so vibrant and just plain fun! The greetings if from With You in Mind and is stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

Sticking with the colors in the paper our second card is the In-color, Summer Splash. It also coordinates perfectly, so fresh and summery! I stamped the greeting from Layering Leaves in Summer Splash and cut out some of our tiny ocean friends using my paper snips. If you watch the video, you will know why I needed to add the extra starfish.

Enjoy these fun summer colors and this paper pack of ocean friends while supplies last. Click here to view the online last chance products. Happy Stamping!

Elements of Text-Weekly Wed. #49

Leave a Comment / Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I hope you are having a blessed week. Today we are playing with an online exclusive set, Elements of Text. This is a great set to add a muted background to many of our current stamp sets. I am using Spotlight on Nature for todays card, but I can also see using it with Beautiful Butterflies, Textured Notes, Sketched Butterflies, and Thoughtful Wishes, just to name a few. LOL

Start with a colored card base of your choice. I used Pretty in Pink and Misty Moonlight for today’s cards. Add a coordinating layer of cardstock 4 x 5-1/4 to the card front. I chose Basic Black for my pink card and Crumb Cake for the Misty Moonlight version. You will need a layer of white for stamping that measures 3-3/4 x 5. I used Pretty In Pink and Crumb Cake ink for my cards today-see video for details. The greeting is from Simply Said, and yes, it is one of my favorite greetings sets in the 2024-2025 annual catalog.

As always you can add 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White to the inside and decorate as desired. Since the Pretty in Pink cardstock is light, I am not going to add a white panel to that one, but again that is totally your choice. There are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities. Go ahead, think outside the box and add some bling. Everyone’s taste is different and that is what makes stamping with friends so much fun! Happy Stamping!

#47 Weekly Wed. Everyday Details~Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I hope the weather has warmed up for you. Here in St. Louis, it is gorgeous. Much like our card today! LOL Today I am featuring a set from the annual catalog. The dies are amazing! Be sure to add this to your order today.

I started with a Highland Heather card base. For the rectangles, I cropped a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Basic White and Gorgeous Grape CS. The greeting was stamped in Gorgeous Grape on a 1 x 2-1/2 and then cropped with the small rectangular die. See video for details on the birthday greeting, recognize it? It is from Beautiful Butterflies. I attached all pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The inside has a small butterfly, see video for details.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Sometimes it is good to color with watercolor pencils. Don’t be afraid to alter your stamps if they are not working for you. It is always fun to think outside the box. Happy Stamping!

Weekly Wednesday #46 Shades and Hues

Designer Series Paper, Thank You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey friends I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video and the designer series paper pack for today’s card is on the Last Chance list. Click Here for the Shades and Hues and other products that are on sale. I know this paper pack will get your creative juices flowing.

To create today’s card, begin with a 4 x 5 -1/4 piece of designer series paper. The color of course is your choice. I choose the Pool Party-Coastal Cabana hues. Cut the panel in portrait position (short side at the top) at 2-1/2. Simply flip the smaller piece so the solid side is showing and attach both pieces to a Basic White card base. See video for details.

I stamped the solid banner from Kiss of Texture with Pool Party ink. The greeting is from Simply Said and stamped with Coastal Cabana. The banner dies from Stylish Shapes crop this banner perfectly-who knew? I love it when everything coordinates. Add a strip of Coastal Cabana CS and a few pearls and you are all set. Love it! This paper pack does all the work,. Be sure to order your pack today as it is on the Last Chance Product list and supplies are limited!

Kiss of Texture~Weekly Wed. #45

Thank You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Well as promised on Monday I am back with two cards using the Kiss of Texture stamp set. This set makes the kissing technique super simple. Plus you don’t even need to kiss, you can use these stamps by themselves. It is very cold and snowy here, so it is a great time to be inside crafting. Have fun creating!

Here is the card without the Pool Party ribbon!

For card#1 I used Pool Party in for my solid square and Shaded Spruce to kiss the flower image. See video for details on the kissing technique. The greeting is from Simply Said and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink. I cropped the square images using the Stylish Shapes dies. These are such amazing dies, I hope they never retire!

Here is Card #2

For card #2 I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added a Night of Navy layer. I used the circles from the Stylish Shape dies to create this fun circle thank you card. The greeting is from Simply Said, stamped with Night of Navy ink and cropped with the Labeled with Love dies. The solid circles are stamped with Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia. I kissed the fun arch stamp to the blue circles with Night of Navy and to the Fresh Fressia circles with Petunia Pop ink. I added a few purple backed adhesive sequins for a little pop.

These are the Stylish Shapes dies that I used. Fun Fact: The short fat banner cuts the banner from the Kiss of Texture perfectly. I will post a card on Friday using both of these.

Stylish Shapes Dies

I know if you order these they will quickly become your go to dies for a ton of projects. If you place an order through my website, don’t forget to use the current host code. Happy Stamping!
