With Sympathy and Painted Poppies!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Get Well & Sympathy /

I love that our Painted Poppies set is carrying over into the next annual catalog because it is such a sweet set and I love using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to bring out the colors! This set is great for any occasion, even the more solemn ones.

  • Begin with a Highland Heather card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” panel from Basic Black and attach it to the card front. 
  • Next cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White and stamp the garden of poppies from the Painted Poppy set across the bottom.  Color the poppies with some Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.  I used Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Dark Balmy Blue.
  • Stamp the big poppy on a piece of Basic White scrap and color it with the light and dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  Fussy cut it out with some paper snips and add it to the poppy garden with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Stamp the “With Sympathy” greeting from Vine Designs in Memento Black ink.
  • For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the greeting from Peaceful Moments in Memento Black ink.  Add the other large poppy from Painted Poppies and color with the Highland Heather combo pack of Stampin’ Blends.

Although I needed a sympathy card, this would make a great Easter card as well. The multi-colored poppies really bring out a bit of Spring!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Thinking of You with Field of Flowers!

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

Flowers are so wonderful and I am so sad to see this beautiful stamp set retire. I know that we have a lot of other floral sets to choose from, but there is just something so fresh and clean about this set. I hope you enjoy today’s creation.

Don’t forget this set will be retiring at the end of the month, so add it to your collection while you still can. If you plan to spend less than $150, please use the current host code.

Today’s card features the Field of Flowers stamp set that is pictured on page 117 in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You can also download the pdf version of this catalog from the home page of my blog.

  • Begin with a Basic white cardstock that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”.  In landscape position (AKA-long side), score at 4 ¼”, burnish and fold.  This will be your card base.
  • Cut a 4-1/8 x 5-1/8” piece of Real Red cardstock and attach it to the card front.
  • Next cut a 4 x 5¼” piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss with the new Painted Texture embossing folder. Attach this to the red panel.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Layering Circle dies to crop a Costal Cabana scalloped circle and the Stitched Shape dies to crop a white circle.
  • Stamp in flower stems in Just Jade and the flowers in Real Red onto the white circle.  Attach the white to the costal cabana circle and set aside.
  • Cut a 2 x 4” piece of Costal Cabana and a 1-7/8 x 4” piece of Basic White cardstock. To the white cardstock, stamp grass stamp in Just Jade and then again in Granny Apple Green. 
  • Stamp the small flowers in Real Red and punch them out using the Confetti flowers coordinating punch included in the bundle.  Randomly layer them along the grass using liquid glue or glue dots. Stamp “Thinking of You” with Real Red ink and add a few more flowers
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the stamped flower image previously created in step 5.

Now you see why I love this set so much! I hope your day is filled with sunshine!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

A Touch of DSP!

Paper Crafting Ideas /

If you have been stamping for awhile, especially with Stampin’ UP! then you are probably family with DSP. Last week I posted the retiring list of products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. It might seem like everything is retiring, but I assure you there are more wonderful sets, bundles and kits heading your way in May!

As a Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator, I get a sneak peak at the NEW catalog and you are going to love it. Sorry I am not allowed to share it just yet. If you missed the list last week, I will have a button at the end of this post that will take you the pdf.

Although the colors in today’s card are not retiring, the patterned paper will not be returning.

  • Begin with a Misty Moonlight card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut the six ½ x 4” strips of the 2020-2022 Designer Series paper attach them on the diagonal to a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock, trimming as needed.  As you attach them at an angle, each piece will become smaller and more will need to be trimmed off.
  • Once all colors are arranged and glued down, stamp the sentiment from So Sentimental in Misty Moonlight ink to the upper portion of the white cardstock.
  • For the finishing touch randomly add several 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots. 

This is a quick and easy layout that looks great with a variety of patterned papers. It is also a great way to use up those smaller pieces of scrap paper! I hope this inspires you to take a second look at your scrap collection and create something beautiful!

Vine Design Fancy Thank You!

2 Comments / Thank You /

I really excited to share this fancy thank you card with you today because it looks elegant and complicated, but really it is not hard at all. I used the dies from the Vine Design Bundle to create the flowered lattice side cut out the thanks from the Well Written dies.

  • Begin with a Very Vanilla card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.  Attach this vanilla embossed panel to the card front.
  • Cut a 2 ¾ x 4 ½” piece of Highland Heather cardstock and using the Vine Design rectangular die run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.  That’s all it takes to create a fancy side panel.  Add a bit of Tombow liquid glue and adhere it to the left side of the Very Vanilla panel dry embossed in the previous step.
  • Crop the “thanks” using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Well Written dies.  Again use some Tombow liquid glue to adhere it to the card front.
  • For a finishing bit of elegant bling, add 9 silver metallic pearls to the center of some of the flowers. (see image above)
  • For the inside, stamp the greeting from the Happy Thoughts set in Highland Heather ink.

I hope you enjoyed this fancy kind of thank you! You will be amazed at how simple this card really is, but it will definitely wow your friends.

Sunday Wisdom-Hail King of the Jews!

Sunday Wisdom /

As we enter into Holy Week we are reminded of what the Kingdom of God looks like. Jesus our King emptied Himself for us. He is our servant King who humbly loved us enough to die for our sins and still loves us and continues to offer His love, mercy and forgiveness.

God’s way of royalty is not the world’s way and through His death and resurrection we have been saved and adopted as a beloved member of the royal family.

We can live out our royal calling in love and service for others. This week as we walk the way of the Cross with our Lord let us offer Him our struggles, sadness and anxiety and remember that He awaits us all with a crown of glory.

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

Artfully Thinking of You!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You /

Today’s card feature the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper in the Spring mini catalog! This is such a great suite and is filled with tons of product that is sure to get you motivated to create something beautiful.

I focused mainly on the paper and used the greeting from the Framed for You stamp set, which will be retiring soon and I am super sad about that because it has become my go to for greetings. I love how the greetings are a bit smaller and have an elegant font. Oh well, I guess I will have to find a new favorite!

Check out the Framed For You set and many other retiring products soon before they are gone, gone, gone!

CLICK HERE FOR RETIRING LIST

  • Begin with a Petal Pink card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5¼” and a 3 x 3 7/8” piece of Old Olive cardstock. Attach the larger piece to the card front and set the smaller piece aside.
  • Cut a 3¼ x 4”, 7/8 x 5¼” and 1 x 2” piece of Petal Pink cardstock.
  • Cut a ½ x 5¼” strip of Gold Foil cardstock. Layer the gold strip onto the Petal Pink strip that measures 7/8 x 5 ¼”.  Now layer that strip across the Old Olive layer on the card front.
  • Cut a 2¾ x 3½” piece of the Fine Art Gallery Designer Series paper and layer it to the Old Olive piece you set aside.  Now layer the Old Olive to the 3¼ x 4” piece of Petal Pink and attach to the card front as show in image.
  • Stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting from Framed for You in Memento Black on the small remaining piece of Petal Pink cardstock.  Trim it down and attach to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy creating with the products in this amazing suite.

Vine Design-It’s Black and White!

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You /

If you have not purchased the True Love Designer Series paper from the Spring mini catalog you don’t know what you are missing. I have totally enjoyed the versatility of this paper. You can leave it black and white or spice it up by adding color with the Stampin’ Blending Brushes or the sponge daubers. If you missed the spiced up with color post, CLICK HERE

True Love Designer Series Paper # 154281 $11.50

Today’s card was inspired by this black and white paper. I used the stamps from the Vine Design set to create my own black and white paper.

  • Begin with a Basic Black card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamp images from the Vine Design set in Memento Black ink and attach to the cards front.
  • Cut a 1 x 4” strip of Basic Black cardstock and punch both ends using the Lovely Labels pick a punch.
  • Stamp the greeting on some white cardstock and cut it down to be 5/8 x 3 1/8” and layer on top of the Basic Black punched embellishment.

Add a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White to the inside of the card and stamp a few flowers of your choice on the inside. There you have it a very clean and simple stamping project created with just a few basic supplies. Check out this set and many others in the Spring mini catalog. Products in this catalog will be available until June!
