Good Shepherd Sunday-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Today is Good Shepherd Sunday and we are reminded that we need to take time to know His voice.  To really know the Shepherd’s voice we need to listen with our hearts.   When is the last time you took the opportunity to come aside and rest awhile so you could listen for the Shepherd’s calling?

Jesus offers all of us unconditional love and support, but He also wants us to return that gift of love by serving others, by taking the time to be a little more kind and to love one another.  In a crazy world with so much violence all around, we need not be discouraged because Jesus is our gateway to salvation. 

So go ahead and run to Him.  Do not worry about what you lack, let Him shepherd you.  Trust in His love and find peace.

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

Do Not Be Troubled-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Today’s gospel reminds us that we do not always have to have all the answers. Jesus continually instructed His apostles and He was with them, so of course He will be patient with us.

Jesus wants to guide us, we just need to open our hearts and trust. So do not be troubled. Let us open our minds and allow God to fill us with His mercy and peace.

Sunny Sunflowers!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature /

Hello all of my crafting friends. I do hope your day is filled with sunshine. It is supposed to be sunny today here in St. Louis, but the rain is moving in on Saturday, so of course that will make the ground perfect for planting real sunflowers.

My card today is clean and simple design because sometimes all you need is a little simple stamping to create something beautiful. I love the black and white look and when we add a little color, everything just pops!

  • Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Basic Black cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the large Sunflower from the Sunflowers bundle in Memento Black ink half off the left edge twice, one at the top and one toward the bottom.
  • Stamp another large sunflower on a 4×4 piece of Basic White cardstock and color it with the Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the coordinating flower die to and crop out the sunflower.
  • Attach the colored sunflower to the left side of the white card panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and layer it so some of the flower hangs off the left side.
  • Use paper snips to trim off excess flower.
  • Stamp the greeting in Memento Black ink.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼ piece of white cardstock and layer it to the inside panel.  Decorate as desired.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Etched In Nature

2 Comments / Just Because Cards /

As a demonstrator for Stampin’ UP! I recently participated in an On Tour Virtual event and received a free stamp set from the new upcoming catalog. The event was so fun and we all created a sample to share with the group, which we made using the free stamp set of course.

So, here is the card I created to share. The name of the new set Etched in Nature.

  • Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use Soft Suede to stamp the ferns and the mushrooms onto the Crumb Cake panel.
  • Color the buds on the fern using a Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend and attach the panel to the card front.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the largest square from the Stitched Shape Dies to cut a piece of Very Vanilla.  Stamp the bird image in Memento Black ink and color using Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends.
  • Layer the bird panel on a 2 ¾ x2 ¾” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and attach to the Crumb Cake panel over the stamped images.
  • Stamp the greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a ¾ x 1-7/8” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and attach it to a 1 x 2” piece of Misty Moonlight.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach this to the bottom of the bird panel.
  • Layer a 4x 5¼” piece of Very Vanilla to the inside of the card and decorate as desired.

Happy Birthday You Sweet Thing!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday /

Did you know that a NEW Stampin’ UP! catalog is on it’s way? That’s right and as a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator I get a sneak peak and the opportunity to purchase some of the new stamp sets that will be available to everyone next month. That is just one of the many perks of being a demonstrator, that and of course the discount! LOL

If you would like a discount and the opportunity for sneak previews, plus invitations to other fun demonstrator only events, then maybe it is time for you to join my team. It will be your best decision ever, trust me! For more info, CLICK HERE or feel free to contact me via email anytime!

Today I am excited to share a card that features two of the sets that will be carrying over to our new catalog. Celebrate Sunflowers that is pictured on page 13 in the current annual catalog and the Sweet Strawberry set featured in the current mini catalog will both be coming to the new 2021-2022 annual catalog.

  • Begin with a 5½ x 8½” piece of Bumblebee cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼”piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the large rectangle die from Ornate Layers.
  • Attach the layer to the card front.
  • Stamp the small sunflower in Memento Black ink on some Basic White cardstock and crop it out using the Sunflower dies from the bundle.
  • Color the Stampin’ Blends or the Watercolor pencils to color the sunflower in Daffodil  Delight, the leaves in Garden Green and the center in brown.
  • Next cut a 2¼ x 3½” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp a greeting from the Sweet Strawberry bundle in Blackberry Bliss ink and attach it to the center of the ornate layer. 
  • Now add the small sunflower and you have a very elegant birthday card.

This looks so elegant and took no time at all to create. I love how simple it is to dress up an ordinary card with the dies from Ornate Layers. I hope you will give them a try! I would love to see what you create so feel free to email me your creations!

Our current host code is: RYXTY496 Be sure to add and apply the code before submitting your order!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow as I will be sharing a card made with one of the new sets from the upcoming 2021-2022 cards catalog.
