Here is a closer look at today’s cards!

Well, folks we are getting down to the wire, only a few days left in my 12 Days of Christmas series. Join me next week for day # 9 and 10 where I will feature another new holiday stamp set. Oh and yes, today is the 8th day of Christmas, so as I continue to honor Jimmy Buffet and his many accomplishments……on the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me Eight Vintage 8-Tracks, 7 Vegas Tickets, Six Matte Guitar Picks, Five Cheeseburgers, Four Hawaiian Ukes, Three Finn Hats, Two Tatoos, and a Purple Parrot in a palm tree!

Jimmy Buffett might have sung about slowing down, but he was one of the hardest-working musicians around. Over the course of five decades, he completed more than 40 concert tours worldwide, performing for millions of fans. Thank you Jimmy!

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

And of course, today is day # 6 and on the 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Six Matte Guitar Picks, Five Cheeseburgers, Four Hawaiian Ukes, Three Finn Hats, Two Tatoos, and a Purple Parrot in a palm tree! Did you know that Jimmy Buffet was not only a great musician, but he was also New York Times best-selling author . He wrote three number-one books: Tales From MargaritavilleWhere Is Joe Merchant?, and his memoir A Pirate Looks at Fifty. Only a handful of authors, including Hemingway and Dr. Seuss, have topped both fiction and non-fiction lists like Buffett.
Happy Stamping!

Happy Wednesday and welcome back to day # 4 in our 12 Days of Christmas series. I hope you are enjoying this series and gathering lots of ideas to create and share some holiday cheer. After all that is truly what crafting is all about right? If you are ever in the St. Louis area feel free to join us for an in-person stamping class, we do have a lot of fun!

We are finishing out this week with two more cards using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks. If you wanted Day #3 then you already know how easy these masks are to use. If you missed that episode, no worries, click here. And now for day #4……

In addition to the Snowy Delights Decorative masks, this weeks cards also feature the Branching Out dies. I am not sure why I want to call them the in and out dies, but that is just stuck in my head, so I apologize if I call them the wrong thing in my videos. I also used greetings from Gathering Moments and Ornamental Christmas. All of these products are available for purchase through my online store, just click the shop with me button below. I so appreciate your support. Don’t forget to click the button below for your free project sheet with photos, supplies, measurements, and instructions on how to create these cards.

And of course, today is day # 4 and on the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four Hawaiian ukes, three finn hats, two tatoos, and a purple parrot in a palm tree! I know if you are not a Jimmy Buffet fan you will probably not appreciate this version of 12 days, but it is such a fun song! Happy Stamping!

DIY Designer Series Paper ~ Weekly Wed. #69

Hello my friends. I am so excited to share with you a way to create your own Designer Series Paper using the new Gathering Moments stamp set. First of all the paper that coordinates with this bundle is absolutely gorgeous, but I thought making our own can be fun too. When you create your own designer series paper, don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of colors. Try creating a sheet with all one color. That would be fun too. Monochromatic is such a calming look.

Today’s project: DIY Designer Series Paper

I started with a Basis White 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and randomly stamped the images from the Gathering Moments bundle as shown. The large leaf I stamped in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The smaller leaf is stamped with Garden Green. The berries are stamped with Cherry Cobbler and the acorn with Pecan Pie. I used Early Espresso to stamp the smaller veined leaf. Feel free to adds some splatter with Pecan Pie or Early Espresso ink. The You’re Remarkable and the Elements of Text are just a few of the sets that have some great splatter.

Today’s card features our Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The card base is a standard A2 size and measures 8-1/2 x 5 -1/2, scored at 4-1/4. I cut a piece of the newly created designer series paper to measures 3-3/4 x 5 and backed it with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is from Grateful Blessings. See video for tip on how to shorten the greeting. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink and cropped it with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. I used that same punch to crop a Cherry Cobber hexagon and cut in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom border. Before adding the greeting to the card front, I put a strip of Cherry Cobbler 3/8 x 3-7/8 across the bottom of the card. Feel free to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting to your card front.

I hope you enjoyed today’s fall project. Join me on Monday for a new holiday series 12 Days of Christmas! Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Hand-Sanitizer Gift Pouch-Weekly Wed. #67

Happy Wednesday all. I am in the midst of preparing for a craft fair this weekend and I thought I would share with you a fun project that I created to gift a small hand-sanitizer from Bath and Body. This project is super quick and does not require a lot of supplies. You can make a gift pouch with just two small pieces of either cardstock or designer series paper. Check out the video for three different versions of the same gift pouch.

Project Supplies

  • 2 x 10″ strip of cardstock or designer series paper
  • 2 x 5-1/2 piece of cardstock or designer series paper
  • Tag Topper Punch, ribbon of choice for closure
  • Optional: 1-7/8″ x 3-3/4 (2) strip of cardstock for support (see video for details)

This really is a super simple project and will make great holiday stocking stuffers or a small gift for your co-workers. If you don’t want to gift hand-sanitizers, I am sure you can find a fun size candy bar to fit into this pouch. I hope you give it a try. Happy Stamping!

Today, I am excited to share with you a fun fold card I am calling the Double Pocket Arch card. I know that is not very creative, but this card does have two pockets and an arch. I have also created two tags, but it would be an awesome gift card holder as well. This card also features one of the new Christmas paper packs coming in September, so I guess you can consider this a sneak peek at that paper. The pack is called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. Today’s video is the first in four part series, so be sure to stop back on Monday, for part 2.

Fun Corner Fold Card~Weekly Wed. #63

Are you ready for the easiest fun fold card ever? Yes, this corner fold card can certainly be added to the five minute card category. You will be amazed at how simple this darling little card is. Just grab your favorite designer series paper and let’s get crafting.

Project Supplies

  • Blackberry CS for card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2

  • Basic White CS: 4 x 5-1/4 (2)

A Closer Look

I hope you enjoy this super quick fun fold card. The best part about this simple cards is that you can use any of the patterned paper in your stash. My first card was created with the currently available Celebratory Sips paper pack, but the last two were retired papers. I believe that paper pack was Inked Botanicals, but again any patterned paper you have in your stash will be great for these fun cards. Happy Stamping!
