Happy Birthday Apple Harvest

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Happy Birthday / September 28, 2022

I am excited to share another Apple Harvest card with you. It is part of the Perfect Partners promotion where Stampin’ Up! created dies to coordinate with six different sets in the annual and mini catalog.. Just click here if you missed that post. My Pastor is celebrating his birthday today and I thought I would share with you the card I created for him.

Projects Measurements

Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base),
Gingham Cottage DSP- 2 x 5½
Basic White CS- 4 ¼ x 5½
Apple Harvest Bundle
Peaceful Moments Stamp Set
Stampin’ Blend Combos-Real Red, Petal Pink, Old Olive
Memento Black Ink
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

I began with a Basic White card base and added a piece of the black Gingham Cottage checked DSP to the left side of my card. I stamped the large and smaller apples in Memento Black ink and with the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine cropped them using the new coordinating dies in the bundle.

Color in the images with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and attach to the card front using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the birthday greeting from Peaceful Moments in Memento Black and my card was complete. I had fun creating this and hope it brings a little birthday sunshine into my Pastor’s special day.

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

Happy Anniversary

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / September 27, 2022

Wedding anniversaries can be such a special time to celebrate memories, no matter how old you get. When I got married many years ago, June was the most popular month to get married. Did you know that for the past four years, the most popular wedding month has been in October? Who knew I was a trend setter! My anniversary is actually October 22nd. According to our Real Weddings Study, 35% of all weddings take place during the fall, followed closely by summer (29%). Who knew?

Well, later this month my older sister is celebrating her wedding anniversary and so I am sharing her card with you today. She is not a blog follower, so chances are this will not be a spoiler alert. LOL! I used the Fond of Autumn stamp set and while it is a fall set, it is very versatile and as you can see this looks a bit more springy than fall. Love it!!

My card today was created using our Petal Pink cardstock. I cut a second layer of Petal Pink and used the scoring tool to create some line at the top and bottom of the panel. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blend Markers and then added a bit of bling to the center of each flower. The Happy Anniversary sentiment if from Celebrating you and is stamped with Memento Black ink.

Happy Anniversary to all you lovely couples who were married in the fall!

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

Leaves, Leaves, Stunning Leaves-Blog Hop

14 Comments / Blog Hop, Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / September 21, 2022

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to leaves. As the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change colors and fall from the trees. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! Thanks to Brian King for organizing this hop for us. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I am loving this theme because I love Fall. I love the changing of the leaves, the falling of acorns and of course the cooler weather. I love to start the day with a hot cup of coffee on a cool crisp fall morning. I hope my card today captures the changes of colors of fall leaves. I used Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake inks.

I embossed the front of my card with the Leaf Fall 3-D Embossing folder and I added a few of the gold Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins featured in the July- December mini catalog. If you missed these gems you are going to want to check out the sequins on page 9 and the embossing folder on page 53.
