You’re In My Thoughts-Happiness Abounds

My card today features the flowers from Happiness Abounds. I colored them using our watercolor pencils and a blender pen. If you are not familiar with our blender pen, it is an amazing way to blend and smooth the lines of any image that is colored with watercolor pencils. You can even use the blender pen with your ink pads to create a colored marker.

In my sample I used Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive pencils. The greeting is from a new set that will be featured in the May 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I began with a Gorgeous Grape card base and added a panel of Basic White that I embossed using the Metal Plate 3-D embossing folder.

I used some scrap pieces of white to stamp and crop my flowers and leaves and attached them to a 3 x 3 piece of Basic White CS using Stampin’ Dimensionals . The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and attached to a 3-1/8 x3-1/8″ square of Gorgeous Grape CS.

I hope this card finds you in good health and inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!

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

Faux Linen Technique- Make It Monday #105

Good morning all, I hope you had a blessed weekend. It is time for another Make It Monday video and I am excited to share with you another stamping technique. This week we will learn about how to create a Faux Linen background. I am sharing two different ways to create this look, so I hope you enjoy today’s technique.

This is a great technique to stretch your stamping skills. By far the first one is totally awesome and not messy at all, but then again the second one has some vibrant colors to create a fun background, so maybe getting a little messy is worth it. Either way, Happy Stamping!

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

Cheerful Daisies Bundle-Favorite Things Friday!

What is more exciting than new stamp sets! I am excited to share with you one of the new bundles in the 2023-2023 Annual Catalog, Cheerful Daisies. Daisies and Tulips are two of my favorite flowers and this bundle features a large, small and half daisy. Unfortunately there will not be a new Tulip bundle, maybe next time.

I began with a Crushed Curry card base and added a layer for Early Espresso and Basic White. I stamped the flowers with Crushed Curry and Early Espresso ink and the leaves in Old Olive. The greeting is punched with the Label Me Fancy punch that will soon be retiring.

The new catalog will go live May 1st, and while there s just one of the many new that are featured. There is still time to get some of the last chance products in the retiring catalogs. Just a reminder that retiring products are while supplies last.

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

Wisteria Wishes-Hang In There!

Our card today is super simple with just a little layering and a few three stamps. I am using the Wisteria Wishes set that will be retiring in a few weeks.

I posted a card last year where I used these flowers to create a Christmas winter scene. I will post that card at the end of this post, but for we say good-bye to Wisteria Wishes, so “Hang In There” seems like an appropriate greeting.

#blessedbycards

The colors I chose for today’s creation, Blackberry Bliss and Shaded Spruce. With just these two deep colors I layered the panels and with just three stamps from the set, this card comes to life. Enjoy creating with this bundle because the dies are beautiful as well.

And now for the winter scene card using the flowers turned upside down.

These flowers take on a whole new look when they are stamped upside down. I used Soft Succulent and Shaded Spruce to create my trees. Happy Stamping!

I started with a Calypso Coral card base and cut a 2¾ x 4 piece of DSP that I mounted to a layer of Basic Black. I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the turtle and a few umbrellas. If you don’t have our Paper Snips, they are totally worth the investment. I tried cutting with another brand of small scissors and it just did not have the same smoothness and precision. Again, at only $11 they are totally worth the investment.

The greeting is from Nestled Friends and is stamped with Memento Black ink. I really love all the characters in the paper pack and in the bundle, but I think the turtle is my absolute favorite. He is both cute and mischievous-so stinkin’ cute. Happy Stamping. I know you will have fun creating with this amazing paper.
