Peaceful Cabin in the Summertime!

Happy Birthday, Masculine Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos / October 27, 2021

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Virginia Beach to stay with my mother -in-law, Connie, while my sister-in-law and her husband took a mini vacation to Cape May. Sorry no time to prepare a Weekly Wednesday video, but next week I will be back in full video swing. Up until the COVID lockdown, Connie was traveling between St. Louis to stay with us and Virginia Beach. Unfortunately she is no longer able to travel, so we visit as often as we can.

While sadly there is no video today, I am excited to share with you a Summertime scene using the Peaceful Cabin Bundle. This is perfect for a masculine birthday. I love creating cards with this bundle. It is in the July – December mini catalog, so if you want to add it to your stamping supplies, there is no time like the present.

Supplies

Garden Green CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2)
Peaceful Cabin Bundle
Artistically Inked Stamp Set
Garden Green Ink
Soft Suede Ink
Early Espresso Ink
Blending Brushes
Balmy Blue Ink
Water Painters
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

Directions

Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
Stamp cabin with Soft Suede ink on Basic White CS panel. Use the water painters to add color to the roof and ground.
Mask the cabin and stamp trees with Garden Green ink.
Again use the water painters to add a bit of Soft Suede beneath the trees.
Use the blending brushes to add a Garden Green lawn and a Balmy Blue Sky. Stamp clouds with Balmy Blue ink.
Stamp Happy Birthday greeting from Artistically Inked in Early Espresso or Memento Black ink.
Attach panel to card front.
Add 4 x 5 ¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

I think the fall weather here in St. Louis is here to stay, so this may be my last summer time card, unless of course, we get an Indian Summer this year. I hope you will create something beautiful today and share it with others. Don’t forget to use the host code located on the right side panel of this post.

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

This month’s projects center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

Supplies and Directions

Nature’s Harvest Bundle
Basic White CS– 5½ x 8½ (card base). Score in landscape position 4¼.
Cherry Cobbler CS -4 x 5¼

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and used Cajun Craze Ink for the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set. I am telling you this crazy little set is so stinkin’ versatile!

Peaceful Cabin Fall & Summer Cards-Weekly Wednesday #10

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Happy Birthday, Weekly Wednesday Videos / October 13, 2021

Well if you have not had a chance to order the Peaceful Cabin bundle, you are going to want to do that soon. It is the perfect bundle to create a quiet winter scene, but I am excited to share with you today’s video on how to create a fall and summer card using this bundle.

Summer and Fall with Peaceful Cabin Bundle

For most of my life, with an exception of a few years in California, I have lived in the Mid-West. I love the changing of the four seasons and that is probably what I missed most about living in San Francisco. No Snow! Wherever you live, the Peaceful Cabin is sure to bring you a changing of the seasons.

4 Comments / Christmas 2021, Weekly Wednesday Videos / October 6, 2021

Wow, it is Wednesday already. Where does the time go. I think now that it is getting dark earlier, time seems to be going by quicker. Gone are the lazy days of summer, it is now time to think about the holiday seasons, after all there are only 80 days until Christmas.

Weekly WEdnesday #9

To be honest, I am still in the Halloween mode and totally enjoying my decorations. I was amazed today when I stopped by Sam’s all the Halloween decorations are gone and have been replaced with Christmas. I guess if you were waiting to buy that stinkin’ cute spider web, it is too late! Oh well.

Monday I posted a Halloween card and today, it is all about Christmas, but don’t worry, Halloween will be back next week.

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