Make It Monday #145 Easter Lilies OSW

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos / February 5, 2024

Hey all I hope you are having a fantastic Monday. I am here today to share four cards I created with a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder (OSW) template. I mainly used the Easter Lilies Bundle and Pecan Pie card stock. I hope you will download this OSW template and have fun creating lots of cards.

I either started with a Pecan Pie or a Basic White card base and some Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, but you can create using whatever colors and patterned paper that works for you. That is the beauty of this One Sheet Wonder (OSW) template, you can create something different every time. Click Here or on the photo below to access today’s Make It Monday tutorial.

Fun with Metallic Enamel Effects

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / February 2, 2024

Well we made it to Friday, yahoo! It has been a week. I guess some weeks are just busier than others and I think we will all agree that no matter how busy life gets there is always time for crafting. Today I am sharing a card I made using our Metallic Enamel Effect. These amazing bottles are so great for adding a special touch to your crafting project. The only real trick is patience. You will need to let them dry completely before you assemble.

It may be difficult to see how beautiful they really are with just a photos, so I suggest you order a set today and give them a try. I admit I was a bit impatient and perhaps I did not let mine dry completely. It still looks good, just some of my dots may be a little more flat.

I chose a Starry Sky card base and added another Starry Sky layer that I dry embossed using the new Layered Floral embossing folder. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. I choose to accent the smaller flowers with a dot of the silver Metallic Enamel Effects, again you will need to let them dry completely! No problem right? We can just move onto another crafting project while it dries.

I stamped my greeting with Starry Sky ink and although I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach my floral layer, I do think that would be a nice added touch. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. Happy Stamping!

Everyday Details Bundle-Happy Retirement!

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / January 31, 2024 / Everyday Details Bundle, Happy Retirement, Teacups

Happy Wednesday all and what a very happy Wednesday it is for my sister-in-law as she officially retired yesterday! Yahoo! Bring on the fun and relaxation! And in honor of her retirement I am sharing the card I created for her, although she might see this post before she gets her card!

I decided to use the Everyday Details Bundle and go sweet and simple with the teacups. I stamped the greeting on a 3 x 4 piece of Basic White and layered it to a Blueberry Bushel panel and then added it to a Basic White card base. I colored the teacups with some of our Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and yes, I fussy cut the teacups. Sorry I just could not help myself.

I added a few Tinsel Gems in blue and quickly put it in the mail. Congratulations Diana I hope you enjoy many, many, happy healthy retirement years! Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back Friday for another Favorite Things Friday post!

Everyday Details Bundle-With Sympathy

Get Well & Sympathy / January 30, 2024

Today I am sharing with you a sweet sympathy card I made for a friend who recently lost her mom. This card was created using the Everyday Details Bundle. There is something so soft and sweet about this Robin’s nest of eggs and I do hope it brings my friend a little bit of comfort during this time of sorrow.

Losing a loved one is always so difficult and many of you know that no matter how old we get, the loss of your mom is a difficult cross to endure.

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped my Robin’s nest with some Memento Black ink. I also stamped the greeting with Memento Black. The greeting is from Something Fancy pictured on page 34 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I colored the image with our Stampin’ Blend markers, Old Olive, Bronze and Pool Party. Finish off your card with some bling of your choice. I added one of our Tinsel Gems.

It think this is going to be a very popular bundle. The samples in the catalog are super sweet and this makes not only a great sympathy card but would also make an amazing Mother’s Day card, thinking of you, and birthday card. Happy Stamping!

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

Country Bouquet Punch ~ Make It Monday #144

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Make it Monday Videos, Misc Holidays / January 29, 2024 / country bouquet punch

Happy Monday! It is time for another Make It Monday video tutorial and today I am sharing three cards that I created using the Country Bouquet Punch. Two of the cards are traditional heart cards, great for Valentine’s Day or that special Anniversary. You could even change up the greetings and make them wedding cards.

My third card is a more out of the box card. I created some tulip looking flowers from the leaf portion of the Country Bouquet punch. I hope you have fun creating with this punch. This punch is featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. CLICK HERE or the photo below to access today’s Make It Monday video.
