Sorry No Make it Monday Video

Make it Monday Videos / June 13, 2022

For those of you who missed yesterday’s post, there will not be a Make It Monday video today. I hope to return next week.

Yesterday’s message

As many of you know my mom has been battling cancer. It has been a long and emotional week, as my mom lost her battle with cancer yesterday.

The good news is that she now has a beautiful place in heaven just for her. I am so grateful she is now resting in the arms of her Savior. I have been blessed to walk this most difficult journey with her and even more blessed to be able to spend the last 10 days providing around the clock care for her with some of my siblings.

While my day to day blogging continued during this time, I do not have the mental capacity to create a Make It Monday video for tomorrow. I do have my card ready to go for Tuesday, and after that some of my dear friends have offered to create blog posts for me. I will sharing their creations with you over the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your understanding!

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

Hello Two Little Ladybugs-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards / June 10, 2022

Just thought I would share a card that I created for my stamping friends at St. Clement of Rome parish. I had the pleasure of stamping with a group of beautiful and talented ladies involved with the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary. It was an evening of stamping fun.

I chose the Hello Ladybug Bundle because I think these little critters are adorable and I love punches. Begin with a Basic White card base and add a layer of Black and Real Red to the card front. Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine and the Deckled Dies to crop a Basic White layer.

The leaf is stamped with Granny Apple Green and the greeting and accent dots in Memento Black ink. A few weeks ago I used this bundle to create some bees. CLICK HERE if you missed that post.

Hello Forever Fern

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards / June 7, 2022

My card today was created with the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating dies featured in the annual catalog. I always love the distinctive ink sets and this bundle does not disappoint.

I love the softness of the leaves and regardless of what color I use, they always look great. Today’s colors are Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz and Cherry Cobbler. I began with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Cherry Cobbler. On another panel of Basic White I stamped the larger fern leaves in Old Olive and the smaller fern leaf in Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the smaller leaf several times.

Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop several berries and then finish off your card with a few black dot splashes. The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you have fun creating-stamp something beautiful for someone! See below for a list of project supplies and our current host code.
