Nature’s Prints – Happy Birthday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / August 1, 2023 / Artistically Inked, Nature's Prints, Two Tone Flora

Today I am combining the flowers from Two Tone Flora, the greeting from Artistically Inked and the dies from Natural Prints. I have to admit I don’t often use Natural Prints dies, I tend to go for the stamps so I am challenging myself to create with the dies. If you are in a crafting rut and are having a hard time getting those creative juices flowing, just pick a set that you haven’t used for awhile and see what you come up with.

I began with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a pop of color with Cherry Cobbler for my flowers. I did fussy cut a few individual flowers…..it’s just who I am! LOL Call me crazy, but I have to admit, I think the reason I don’t use this die much is because it is not quite a round wreath! Again, it is just who I am! Happy Stamping!

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

Three Cards to Serve Others!

Happy Birthday / June 28, 2023 / Artistically Inked, Hope and Prayer, Translucent Florals

This Friday is my monthly card class for the residents at Mother of Good Counsel Home. I am always amazed at the joy and excitement they bring to class. I always try to create clean and simple stamping for them as they many of them have a hard time seeing. Sometimes I use current supplies and sometimes retired products. This month I am using a combination of both.

**Hope and Prayer -currently available**

My first card was created using Basic White and Pacific Point cardstock. While the Pacific Point is no longer available, you can always substitute Starry Sky.

**Translucent Florals-coming in September**

My second card was created using Basic White and Marina Mist cardstock. Again the Marina Mist is retired, but Balmy Blue or the new Boho Blossom would be a good substitute. I cropped the Basic White panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I seriously love these dies. The Translucent Florals Bundle is coming in the Holiday mini catalog this September.

**Countryside Corners -currently available**

My last card was created using the Countryside Corners stamp set and some of the Countryside Inn Designer Series paper. I cut the designer series paper with one of the Countryside corner dies and then cut a larger one with some Starry Sky cardstock. The greeting is stamped with Starry Sky ink and is from Artistically Inked, which is available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I hope you will enjoy creating with some of these sets and find a way to share your stamping talents with others!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Hello-You’re a Peach!

2 Comments / Just Because Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / July 7, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Designer Series Paper

Todays card features the You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack and I am excited to share that it is on sale! So now is the time to stock up on your favorites!

I started my card with a Basic White card base and cut a strip of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper that measures 2¾ x 12. I used the second largest Stitched so Sweetly dies to cut out the peach side of the paper and the largest to cut out a panel of Calypso Coral.

I trimmed the remaining strip to measure 5½ and flipped it over so the blue side was showing and layered it on the left side of the card front. I then layered the peach rectangles to the card front.

I again used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and cropped the second smallest using Basic White cardstock, stamped the greeting on it in Calypso Coral ink and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper Landscape Position=Long side Portrait Position=short side

A Forever Favorite-Forever Fern!

Thank You / July 6, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Forever Fern

I know there are so many new sets to choose from and yet, I just love, love, love the look of our Forever Fern set and dies. For my card today I did not use any of the dies from the bundle, but I did use the brick and mortar embossing folder.

I also did a bit of masking with the berries and the leaves. It was not hard and I love how it turned out. The “Thanks” is from the Artistically Inked set. Stamping directly on an embossed surface can be tricky so I used my paper snips to fussy cut the greeting and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Vine Design Framed Thank You

Thank You / June 23, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Scalloped Contours Dies, Vine Design

Today’s card features the Vine Design Bundle and the Scalloped Contours Dies. I combined two of the dies to create a frame and added it on top of the fancy oval die in the Vine Design Bundle. The Bermuda Bay and Basic Black are perfectly paired to create an elegant thank you card.

The Bermuda Bay layer on top of the card base is dry embossing using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing folder. The “Thanks” is from the new Artistically Inked stamp set. I stamped it on Bermuda Bay cardstock in Memento Black ink and cut it out using my Paper Snips.

The Vine Design Bundle will be retiring at the end of this month! Just sayin! Don’t forget about the FREE SHIPPING offer for orders over $50-this Thursday only!
