Earthen Textures-A Harvest of Blessings!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Thank You /

Wow, where on earth did October go. I know that it is a fun month, but it really has just flown by this year. I am well into the fall spirit, although the weather feels more like spring in St. Louis, but the fall leaves are changing and they are gorgeous.

Today thought I would share two cards using one of my favorite bundles from the annual 2023-2024 catalog, Earthen Textures. This sweet set really is so great for a variety of cards. Happy Stamping!

I used some Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla cardstock to create my first card. I used the dies for the pots to crop them from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and added a Pecan Pie topper to the shorter pot. I also used some of the flowers from Layering Flowers to fill my pot. The Thank you is stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla and I attached it to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

My second cards was created using a Early Espresso card base, some Very Vanilla cardstock and some of the paper from that same paper pack, Earthen Elegance. This time I put my pots on the left and less flowers and more of the fall looking sprigs. I used Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow to give it a rich fall look. I love this sweet greeting and that is in the Pick of the Patch bundle from the holiday mini catalog. It really does give it a harvesty-fall look.

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

Happiest of Fall Birthdays!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Happy Birthday /

Today I am combining the Rustic Crate bundle and the Earthen Textures bundle to create a festive fall birthday card. I began with a Very Vanilla card base and layered a panel of Early Espresso. I used some of the Earthen Textures designer series paper to create the pot. We celebrate several fall birthdays in my family and this card will be perfect.

I created the crate using some Crumb Cake cardstock and used the fall bundle to add to the crate. I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to create a pop of color. The greeting is from Throughout the Year and is stamped with Early Espresso ink. The top of the pot and the gloves are cropped using our new Pecan Pie cardstock. Happy Stamping!

Giving To God in Obedience ~ Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”  (Matthew 22:21)

In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that it is important to meet both our earthly and heavenly needs. As a member of society, it is important for us to pay taxes, exercise the right to vote, and defend our country. Regardless of our faith, nationality, or citizenship we also have the obligation to practice obedience by giving to God what is God’s.

What exactly belongs to God? Well, in my opinion, everything! We are all made in the likeness of God and depend upon Him for our very next breath. Our time, talent, and treasure are all graces given to us by our loving God. Being obedient in prayer, practicing the Sacraments, and showing mercy to others is part of our heavenly need and God is forever calling us and challenging us to surrender to Him.

So today, let us listen deeply, practice obedience and entrust our lives to the Lord. Peace!

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

Cottages Wreath Fall Leaves~Favorite Things Friday!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Favorite Things Friday /

I hope Wednesdays “Leaves” Blog Hop got you in the mood for fall. Click here if you missed this month’s Blog Hop! Now is the time to catch the fall spirit because Thanksgiving is just 37 days away! I pray you have many things to be thankful for this year! Being grateful for what I have always puts me in a good mood, so I guess you could say being grateful is one of my favorite things.

For those of you who follow me know that I love fall and Winter, especially creating Halloween, Fall and Christmas cards and projects. I am not sure if it is the colors or just the joyful spirit in the air. Probably the Joy because really do red and green actually colors that go together outside of Christmas?? Perhaps they do, remember I am no expert.

Today’s card features the Cottage Wreath stamp set and dies featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I believe this bundle was featured in last year’s holiday mini catalog, so perhaps you have it in your stamping stash. If not, no worries, you can order it today. All the supplies for today’s card are featured at the end of this post.

I decided to feature Cajun Craze and Old Olive, two of my favorite Stampin’ Up! colors for fall. The Old Olive layer measures 3-3/4 x 5 and the Cajun Craze almost square measures 2-5/8 x 2-3/4. I am not sure why I did not make it easier on myself and just make it a 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 square. I guess because I stamped the wreath of leaves first and cut it down, which ended up making my white piece 2-1/2 x 2-5/8. Some cards are just like that! LOL

The grateful greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink, but Early Espresso would look nice as well. I stamped the fern and fall looking leaves on the white panel to create a fun background before layering. Since I have a variety of layers I decided not to use Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you want to add this stamp set or any other supplies to your shopping cart, just click below. Happy Stamping!
