Alleluia! He Is Risen! Sunday Wisdom

4 Comments / Sunday Wisdom /

Alleluia, Christ is risen! And I pray we all allow that to change everything, because it does.  Jesus bore the sins and pains of all mankind so that you and I and all our brothers and sisters everywhere could have eternal life.

Through His cross and resurrection, Jesus opens a new life and a new way to the Father for all of us. We can all experience the power of His love and our freedom from sin.  When we allow Christ to enter into our lives daily, everything changes.  Christ longs for us.  He thirsts for us and is always waiting for us to invite Him in. 

The ways and views of today’s world should cause us to pause, but we should never lose hope. One day every wrong will be made right.  Jesus promises this and He died for it, so when we are waiting for an answer to a prayer that seems to never come, don’t lose hope. When we are pressed in by the evils of this world, don’t lose hope.  When we are not sure if we can go on, press on and don’t lose hope. 

We must never lose sight of the victory of the cross.  So together, let us embrace our individual crosses and lift each other up in prayer.  Remember my friends, there is always hope, hope in the victory of the resurrection, hope in the love and Christ and hope in the love we have for each other.

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

Wildflower Path-Favorite things Friday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature /

With so many of our favorites sets retiring, I thought I would share a flower card that I created using the Wildflower Path stamp set. This set will be retiring at the end of the month, but hurry and add it to your cart before supplies are sold out.

#blessedbycards

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped the grass on the bottom portion of the front of the card base with Old Olive ink. The Basic White CS measures 3½ x 4¾ and I stamped the grass with Old Olive ink, stamping off for the longer blades. The vines are also stamped with Old Olive ink and the flowers with Polished Pink.

I mounted the Basic White panel on an Old Olive panel that is slightly larger than the white and attached it to the card front. The greeting is stamped with Polished Pink ink.

Easter Bunny-Celebrate His Love

Easter-Spring, Stamping Techniques /

It is almost Easter so I thought I would share with you this super cute bunny card. This card looks really complicated but it isn’t. Time consuming maybe, but trust me it is not hard. I used the Easter Bunny and the Rejoice in Him sets.

I started with a Crumb Cake card and added a layer of Early Espresso CS and then a layer of Pear Pizzazz that I embossed with the new Cane Weave embossing folder. These adorable bunnies were stamped on Crumb Cake CS and colored with colored pencils and a Blender Pen. I used Early Espresso, Basic Gray, and Basic White pencils. This is a water coloring technique that is perfect for shading these bunnies.

And oh, a little pink for the ears. To create the white fur on the bunnies back I used a watercolor painter and some Basic White Craft ink. I stamped the greeting with Night of Navy ink and fussy cut it out with my paper snips. Happy Stamping!

Easter Card and Candy Box-Make It Monday #103

Easter-Spring, Make it Monday Videos /

Welcome to Holy Week my friends. We are only one week away from Easter and today I am excited to share with you two Easter Treats, a card and a super easy Candy Box. This fun box is created using only a 4 x 5 piece of cardstock and for the lid, a and a 2½ x 6 pc of Designer Series paper. Now that is amazing! Don’t forget to put the yummy treats inside and if you are feeling really generous, add a roll of cash. It all depends on who will receive these treats.

Make it monday #103 Project sheet

Easter Candy Box-A Closer Look!

I am making 25 boxes for my co-workers, so I decided to go with the peanut butter cup treats and not the cash. LOL Perhaps when I am blessed with grandkids, I will think about the roll of cash. Regardless of what goes in your box, I am sure you will be a blessing to others.

Happy Holy Week-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

My dear friends, as we begin Holy Week and prepare for Easter, we recall the Passion of our Lord and enter more deeply into the sufferings He took on to save and transform us all.  After all Lent is our own personal journey back to God and I pray yours has been fruitful.

This week as we turn our attention away from the busyness of our days, let us focus on the good God is already doing in our lives and remember that each time we pray we move one step closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The heart of Jesus’ message is always overflowing with love, compassion and forgiveness no matter how far we have strayed.  Our Heavenly Father is always waiting to eagerly embrace us and offer us peace.  Sometimes we just need to ask and then be still and allow God to speak to our hearts.  Remember, little is very often enough.

So as we contemplate Jesus’ unwavering, unilateral forgiveness from the cross, may we be filled with the hope of His Resurrection knowing that every little prayer and every sacrifice, no matter how small is an act of love and that is certainly treasure we will be able to take with us to Heaven.

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

Four Square-Enjoy Life!

Happy Birthday, Summer Fun /

Now that spring is here, I thought I would share another Sweet Citrus card with you. Today’s card inspiration is a patterned four square using the Rain or Shine Designer Series paper. I began with a Daffodil Delight card base and a 3-3/8 square of Flirty Flamingo. My designer series squares measure 1-1/2″ and are mounted on a 3-1/8″ square of white cardstock.

#blessedbycards

The greeting is stamped on a 1 x 3-1/4″ piece of white in Memento Black ink and layered on a 1-1/8 x 3-3/8″ piece of Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the fruit with Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight ink and used the Hybrid embossing folder to emboss and cut the fruit.

This really is a sweet card to send to that special someone who just may need a little bit of sunshine. I hope you enjoy this card, CLICK HERE to check out my Make It Monday video for more details on how to use the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Happiness Abounds-You Matter!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You /

I just love the Happiness Abounds bundle and the sweet greetings in this stamp set and I know I use the happy birthday all the time, so today I am using the You Matter to So Many greeting from the Something Fancy Bundle, another great set. I will be mailing this card to my mother in law, who turned 91 yesterday. No it is not her birthday card, I sent that last week, but she does enjoy getting hand-stamped cards in the mail each week, even when it is not her birthday.

Perhaps there is someone you know who would love to receive a homemade card from you. Just click the shop with me button below and start collecting supplies today, soon you will be creating something beautiful to share with others.

#blessedbycards

I started with a Crushed Curry card base and cut an access strip of Crushed Curry for across the lower portion of my cards. The Designer Series paper is from the Hues of Happiness paper pack on page 132 in the annual catalog. I stamped the greeting on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and cropped it with the Label Me Fancy Punch. I used Stampin’ Seal Adhesive to attach the strip and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting.

This was a super simple card that not only uses minimal supplies, but comes together in about 5 minutes. So if you have a bunch of cards to send out, this is a perfect design for you. Happy Stamping!
