Time to Say Good-bye!

Sales and Announcements / March 25, 2021

Now is the time to get those products from the 2020-2021 Annual catalog and yes, some of them are discounted! There are many retiring items, but please note that even though some of the bundles are listed as retiring that doesn’t always mean the stamp set, dies or punches are retiring. Be sure to check out the *** at the end of the list for more details on that…..

Now with that being said, even if the stamps or dies are carrying over the 10% bundle saving will not, so why not order it now and save.

A Well Said-Art Gallery Kind of Birthday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / March 24, 2021

I love it when things come together and todays cards features three awesome sets that go perfectly together. The florals for the Art Gallery Bundle are the perfect card front for a special birthday card. The pop of black wording from the Well Said bundle makes an ideal card for anyone, but especially for someone who loves blue and flowers.

**NOTE: The black outline around the image is for easy viewing only and is not actually part of the card.**

Begin with a Basic White card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5¼” piece of Pacific Point cardstock and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine dry emboss it with the new Painted Texture 3-D embossing folder and attach to the card front.
Add a ½ x 4” strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock across the lower section of the Pacific Point panel.
Stamp the large flower bundle in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut out using the coordinating dies from the Art Gallery Bundle. Remove the flowers and add the greenery to the card front.
Stamp the large again in Pacific Point ink and cut out using the dies and snip off the blue flowers to add to the greenery.
Next cut the Happy Birthday greeting from the Well Written dies in Basic Black cardstock and glue to the card front.

Now I know there was a little fussy cutting on this project, but it is worth it right? I am sure when you create cards using this set you will be inspired to send them to everyone you know. I am actually sending mine off tomorrow. My mother-in-law is turning 89 on Saturday! YIKES! My birthday may be coming up, but she still has a few year on me! LOL

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

Seashells by the Seashore!

Thinking of You / March 23, 2021

The weather is definitely getting warmer here in St. Louis and soon the outdoor swimming pools will be opening (hopefully), but that does not compare to collecting seashells by the seashore. No seashores around here, but you can create a warm and welcoming thinking of you card with the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle.

Begin with a Sahara Sand card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5¼” piece of Night of Navy cardstock and a 1 ¼ x 5 ¼” strip of Sahara Sand cardstock. With the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine dry emboss the Night of Navy with the Subtle embossing folder and the Sahara Sand strip with the Tasteful Textiles 3-D embossing folder.
Attach the Night of Navy to the card base and then attach the Sahara Sand strip across the middle of the Night of Navy layer.
Stamp the seashells in Night of Navy and Shaded Spruce ink and cut out using the coordinating dies from the bundle.
With Early Espresso ink stamp a sand dollar and a starfish on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and cut them out using the coordinating dies from the bundle.
Add a few stands of linen thread behinds one of the shells. Fray the ends for added dimension.
Cut out a fern/seaweed and use a Sponge Dauber to add a touch of Shaded Spruce ink.
Stamp the Thinking of You greeting in Night of Navy on a 1 x 4” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it using the coordinating die from the Vine Design Bundle.

I hope you enjoyed this little break at the beach and it will inspire you to create something beautiful. This bundle is in the Spring Mini catalog. A PDF catalog is available on the home page of my blog.

There are a few days left to earn the March Virtual Stamp Camp (4 projects). Place an online order of $25 or more through my blog and add the current host code: RYXTY496 or email me with your order and I will send you the video links and pdf instruction sheets for the March projects.

Under the Sea Thank You!

2 Comments / Thank You / March 22, 2021

Did you know that the Whale Done Punch Bundle pairs perfectly with the Friends are Like Seashell Bundle? Check it out.

Today’s card uses both of these sets, plus the new Blending Brushes to create an under the sea thank you! Let’s just say there is nothing fishy about this thank you!

Begin with a Cinnamon Cider card base that measures 4 ¼ x 11. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 5 ½”. Fold and burnish. This will create a tent fold card.
Cut a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8” piece of Old Olive cardstock and layer to the card front.
Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and using a Blending brush, add some Mango Melody ink to the top of the cardstock.
Next, blend some Pacific Point ink to create the ocean and finally on the bottom of the white cardstock, blend some Crumb Cake ink to create the sandy ocean floor.
Stamp some specks from the Friends are Like Seashells set in crumb cake and some Old Olive seaweed to the sandy floor.
Stamp a few sea shells in Cinnamon Cider ink, cut out with coordinating dies and add to the bottom of the ocean.
Stamp the Thank you and some fishy friends from the Whale Done set in Memento ink across the blue of the ocean.

These sets are amazing together and I loved creating this playful card. I hope this inspires you to get out your ink pads and create something beautiful.

Don’t forget, it is not too late to earn the March Virtual Stamp Camp. Just place a $25 order before the end of March 2021 and I will email you the PDF instructions and the video links for all projects. Don’t forget to use the current host code: RYXTY496
