Hello and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday I had an opportunity to gather with 11 other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators for a Shoe Box Swap. Last Monday, I shared the card I created for this event, CLICK HERE if you missed that tutorial.

Today I am going to share 4 of the 11 cards that I received and I hope to share the rest throughout this week. I am blessed to be apart of this amazing group of extremely talented ladies. I want to give a special shout out to Sally Nusbaum who organized this demonstrator only event for us.

Blessed Correction~Sunday Wisdom!

Sunday Wisdom /

Today’s gospel teaches us the importance of lovingly correcting each other’s behavior. A healthy relationship always involves honestly. Wouldn’t you be grateful if someone helped you change a bad habit?  I personally would want to know if I was hurting someone. And yet, being directly honest with one another can be challenging. But guess what folks, Jesus never promised us an easy life. Then again, how can we tell if someone is trying to help or just being a gossip?

Gossip can be defined as is a story about people that is designed to hurt, not rescue, and spread among people anonymously.

How can I recognize a gossiper from a compassionate person just trying to help?
Well, first ask yourself is what you are hearing designed to help or hurt?  
Does there seem to be a sincere desire to for accurate truth about all involved?
Did the person talk directly to the all involved as Jesus told us to do in today’s gospel?
And finally, what if the stories you are hearing were about you?

Jesus asked His followers to judge based on what they saw and heard from their own eyes and ears, this alone can help us avoid gossiping. Jesus calls us to be compassionate and understanding.  Even if we have to walk away from the situation we should do so with love and respect.  After all remember how Jesus treated the Gentiles and the tax collectors?  Shouldn’t we do the same?

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Rustic Crate Blessed beyond Measure

Christmas 2023 /

Happy Friday! Today’s card was created with the new Rustic Crate Bundle featured in the Holiday mini catalog. I decided on the poinsettias and used Cherry Cobbler and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color them. The crate was cut with Early Espresso cardstock and the accent pieces with Smoky Slate.

I noticed that the greeting did not stamp as crisp as I would like. Of course I noticed this after I put the card together, but if this ever happens to you there might be residual oils from manufacturing on the stamp, especially the photopolymer ones. Not to worry, because the super simple remedy is to use an eraser over the entire stamp and clean if off with a damp cloth or a baby wipe (no alcohol of course).

Here is a closer look of one stamped after I used the eraser technique. You be the judge! Happy Stamping!

The branches on the wreath were stamped with Cajun Craze and the leaves in Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.

I added a simple bow and a boo tag. Oh and don’t forget those stinkin’ cute acorn dies. They are stamped in none other than Pecan Pie! I hope this gets you in the mood for Fall because seriously, Halloween will be here before you know it! Happy Stamping!

Pick of The Patch Bundle-Make It Monday #125

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Make it Monday Videos /

Remember the pre-school poem or song about the five little pumpkins sitting on the gate? Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.-the first one said “Oh my it’s getting late.” The second one said “There are witches in the air!” The third one said “But we don’t care!” The fourth one said “Let’s run and run and run!” The fifth one said “I’m ready for some fun.”

Well I guess I should have create my card with a landscape format because I only have three pumpkins. LOL I created today’s card for a Shoe Box Swap next weekend where I will be stamping with 11 of my fellow demonstrators and friends.

If you have never been to a Shoe Box Swap it is like a stamp camp/stamp class in a box. Each of us will be creating a card and cutting enough supplies for everyone who will be participating. I will take all my supplies and set up a station as will the others who will be attending. Then we just travel around to all the stations creating each other’s card and at the end of the day we will have 11 cards. It is a lot of fun and I am looking forward to spending time with my stamping friends.

I guess if you are going to the Shoe Box Swap next week and you follow my blog, this is a spoiler alert, sorry! Either way, I hope you enjoy this card and it inspires you to created something beautiful today. Happy Stamping! Click the button below to download your free pdf project sheet!
