Craft With Renee

  Hello and welcome to May ICS Blog Hop! This month's theme is "Introducing the 2024-2026 in-colors". Every two years Stampin' Up brings out new in-colors and for 2024 they are Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop! I actually had a chance to create with these colors in March at the OnStage Convention here in Houston, TX. Wow that was an awesome and exciting event.  My favorite so far is Petunia Pop, but that'll probably change as I create more projects with these cute colors! I participated in a In-Color "Bingo" last month! We had lots of fun and made some really cute projects. Here's a couple of the cards I created. I truly enjoyed using different products from the "Unbounded Beauty Collection Suite" and the "Something Fancy" stamp set.  We were each giving enough supplies to create one card in all of the new in-colors. Here's two of the cards I created during the Bingo.  Thanks for visiting

  Hello and welcome to April ICS Blog Hop! This month's theme is "Farewell 2022-2024 in-colors". Every two years Stampin'  Up brings out new in-colors. Whenever in the new colors come in the old colors retire. The retiring colors are Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and orchid Oasis! My favorite is the Sweet Sorbet but for this project I used Tahitian Tide! I participated in a "Birthday" ATC card swaps and I knew the "Filled with Happiness" stamp set would be perfect this project.  I decided to use the Tahitian Tide color family for my project. I also colored the leaves in Parakeet Party and added Sweet Sorbet gems! I had so much fun creating these "ATC" cards for the swap! Once I receive my ATC swaps I'll be creating some cute card with them.   Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's hop over to  Debbi's  page and see the project she shared.

Today's challenge (theme) is Blogger's Choice challenge. I decided to spotlight the "Layering Leaves" stamp set.  I was so excited to get this super cute stamp set created by my dear friend Rachel Tessman and she autographed it.  I must admit this is one of my favorite stamp sets and I love that it also coordinates with the bough punch.  I truly love creating custom backgrounds. I wanted to share how I use the simple stamping technique to create a beautiful card. I also used the same technique on the flap of the envelope.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friend Blog hop. we are a group of Stampin' Up demonstrators from around the world sharing our love for paper crafting. Today's challenge (theme) is a Color Combination challenge. The challenge was to use three of the colors below! I decided to use Azure Afternoon, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green! Last week I attended Stampin' Up OnStage 2024 in Houston. I was super excited for several reason, but the number one reason it was in my hometown! During Onstage we received several prize patrols and I decided to use the "Leaf Collection" stamp set that's in the new catalog and will be available starting in May! The inspiration for this card came from a OnStage presentation. To make the card, I created a custom background with Pumpkin Pie, Azure Aternoon and Granny Apple Green using the stamp and the Clear acrylic "F" block. I must admit using ink spots would have probably been easier, but I used the full size ink p
