Sending Sunshine-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature /

It is Friday and time for a relaxing weekend. I hope you all enjoy today’s card as I am sending you sunshine to brighten your day! This card was created using a Calypso Coral card base, some Calypso Coral ink and Memento Black. This is a clean and simple card to brighten your day. I love the brightness of the Calypso Coral and how the black just seems to pop!

The star of today’s Go Green card features Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. I began with a Garden Green card base followed by a thin layer of white and an embossed layer of Granny Apple Green. I used a 3 x 3 piece of Watercolor Paper, added my green colors with a water painter and then spritzed the watercolor paper with a blast of water to get the colors to run together for a sea of green.

I allowed the watercolor paper to dry completely, actually I was impatient and used the heat tool to speed up this step. Once the 3 x 3 was dry, I added some Garden Green ink to the edges using a sponge dauber to get that darker look around the border and then attached it to a 3-1/8x 3-1/8″ piece of Garden Green. Note: Be sure to let your watercolor paper dry completely before adding color to the edges.

My Granny Apple Green layer is embossed with the Fern embossing folder and the greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink with the hello from Biggest Wishes. I added three Black Matte Dots for an added pop and adding embellishment is just plain fun!

You’re In My Thoughts-Happiness Abounds

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature /

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.

#blessedbycards

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

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos /

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.

Make it monday #105 faux linen technique-project sheet

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!

Cheerful Daisies Bundle-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You /

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.

#blessedbycards

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
