Peaceful Cabin-Snowy Christmas

Today’s card reminds me of a cabin in Tahoe. What a perfect weekend this would be to spend time in a far off cabin surrounded by snow. Throw in a fireplace, a bottle of wine and a few Hallmark Movies and I am there! Oh and of course no alarm. LOL

Supplies

  • Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base), 3 ¾ x 5, 4 x 5  
  • Basic Black C3-7/8 x 5-1/8
  • Shaded Spruce CS-4 x 5¼
  • Peaceful Cabin Bundle
  • Shaded Spruce Ink
  • Early Espresso Ink
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals

Directions

  • Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
  • On 4 x 5 White CS panel stamp cabin in Early Espresso Ink and then crop cabin and several snowflakes with coordinating dies. 
  • Stamp trees in Shaded Spruce ink on 3 ¾ x 5 panel of white and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach cabin.  Add snowflakes and stamp sentiment using Memento Black ink.
  • Layer the white panel to Basic Black CS and then to Shaded Spruce panel.
  • Attach all layers to card front.
  • Decorate inside as desired.

This really is a perfect snow scene. I love the soft touch of the added snowflakes. This card looks complicated, but honestly it was really easy. If you got an assembly line going, this could be the perfect holiday card!

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

Harvest and Hope-InKing Royal October Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and used Cajun Craze Ink for the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set. I am telling you this crazy little set is so stinkin’ versatile!

Holly Jolly Wishes & Stitched Stars-Make It Monday #29

It is time again for another Make it Monday tutorial. If you love stars you are going to love today’s video. Not only do both of these cards use the same star dies, they also share greetings from Holly Jolly Wishes and Designer Series Paper from the Tidings of Christmas paper pack in the July -December 2021 mini catalog.

I love the soft look from the Soft Succulent cardstock and when you pair it with Evening Evergreen, it is so elegant. I cannot wait to experiment with these colors using the Evening Elegant bundle.

Empty and Little-Sunday Wisdom

When we empty ourselves and become little, we allow God to fill us and we become so much more.  John and James kind of missed the point that Jesus came to serve, not to be served.  Jesus wanted James, John and all his followers, us included, to understand that His glory was most fulfilled when he emptied himself for others. 

So what does that kind of humility and glory look like?  How can we imitate Christ’s love? As we strive to humbly serve others, let us always live in the hope of the resurrection and recall how God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for you and for me.

So today, let us be empty and little, so we can be filled and blessed!

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