Arrange a Wreath

Easter Joy

March 29, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Monday!

Starting the week off the week with a Design Team challenge for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge –

I took this sketch in a different direction using the same elements –

First off, I made a mini slim sized card. Then, instead of a window, I used stamped cute bunny images from the Springtime Joy stamp set, punched from the Postage Stamp Punch.

The sweet little eggs, instead of flowers, are from the Birds & More Dies. They add another layer of cuteness to this sweet card.

The sentiment is from the retiring Arrange A Wreath stamp set.

I can not wait to get this card into the mail. It will bring joy to the recipient.

Please join our AHSC challenge this week! We’d love to see you! We use a variety of products and love to see new faces!

Happy day!

Time for another, third, blog hop for today!

We are featuring spring or Easter cards today!

I went a bright, cheery, Easter card –

Just as clean and simple as you can get!

I started with the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper –

I found two coordinating Easter-looking patterns for my card. This bright Magenta Madness color is a bit bold for me, so I only used it for the stamped sentiment and a small strip for highlight.

This sweet sentiment comes from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set. It has soo many great all-around sentiments!

I will make up several of these cards to mail out for Easter. They will brighten anyone’s day for sure!

Get lots of ideas and inspiration from other on our hop today!

Tie One On For A Happy Easter

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

Such fun, spring-like colors!

Perfect for an Easter card!

I designed something fun, cute, and quirky –

I started by stamping the bow (ties) from the Handsomely Suited stamped set in the challenge colors on Basic White and colored card stocks.

I used the Suit & Ties Dies to cut all of the bows out.

I arranged the bows on the card realizing I had some space between the bows. Perfect spot for the Happy Easter sentiment from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set.

Just so cute!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Christmas in July

July 18, 2020 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Christmas in July!

I got this lovely Arrange a Wreath bundle when the new Stampin’ Up! catalog came out in June. Yes, I needed another wreath set, lol! So, perfect time to pull it out –

I love the fact that this set has multiple holidays in it. Great all around set.

I used Just Jade, Shaded Spruce, and Real Red for the wreath. I added the Gold Foil double bow which is also included in the set of dies.

I stamped the sentiment then used the Simply Scored to score the panel every 1/4″ before adding the wreath. It added a nice detail to the card.

This would be a nice, elegant, easy card to reproduce quickly.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
