Be Mine Stitched Framelits

Lovely Wedding Wishes

April 9, 2019 · 1 Comment

Need some motivation to play with your stuff today? How about this new challenge –

Optional Theme : Embossing

Perfect inspiration to create this wedding wishes card –

First off, I haven’t played with this gorgeous Merry Merlot color much. and, why? It’s gorgeous!!!!

I created the embossed background by using White Craft ink on one side of the Country Floral embossing folder, laying the Basic Gray card stock on the other side and then running it through the Big Shot one time. The ink settles in the recessed area of the paper creating a beautiful effect.

(This embossing folder will be available in the upcoming annual Stampin’ Up! catalog if you did not get it during Sale-a-bration!)

I added a strip of Very Vanilla and two hearts from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. I placed them on the strip and trimmed them on the trimmer leaving a slight over hang in some areas.

The ‘love’ sentiment is from the Well Written framelits and sits atop a pretty label shape from the Stitched Labels Framelits. I cut two out, one in Very Vanilla and the other in Vellum to soften the Vanilla color.

Love Hearts

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

I played with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits creating this –

I love the detailed heart border it creates! But then, you also cut all these wonderful little hearts! I used two card stocks colors to create the look. I carefully glued the hearts in place.

The die cut sentiment comes from an all time favorite of mine, the Sunshine Wishes thinlits.

It’s tied off with a pretty light bow using the Whisper White 5/8 Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

It’s just sweetly done!

Check on the other Design Team cards on our blog. Create something using our colors and post to our Facebook page! Looking forward to seeng you there!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Valentine Favor

February 2, 2019 · 2 Comments

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

Our theme this week features a Valentine Treat Holder!

I had some Godiva chocolate hearts that I needed a ‘holder’ for. Nothing on the interweb, so, I created my own!

I took an 8 1/2 x 10 sheet of card stock to create 5 of these!

Directions –

card stock8 1/2 x 10
score at 4 1/8, 4 3/8
DSP strip 2 1/2 x 10
add DSP to card stock
cut 2 x 8 1/2 strips (actually, slightly less than 2″ so it’ll fit into punch)
punch each end with Scallop Tag Topper
framelit cut heart in center of DSP (save hearts for another project)
fold over treat holder on two score lines
adhere candy to be seen through window
tie with ribbon
decorate!

Aren’t these just adorable?? Quick and easy too! I made a mock pattern before making these. And, I now have a pattern going forward!

Sometimes it’s just easier to design around your candy!

Can’t wait to see everyones Valentine treats! Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown.

Welcome to my second post for February 1st!

We have a sweet blushing theme this month!

I went with a Valentine card design –

That is also a nifty fold –

The bottom layer is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Melon Mambo, with a Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Botanical Butterfly, layer.

On top, is a folded over 3 1/4 x 8 1/2 (scored at 4 1/4) card.

The heart Designer Series Paper is All My Love. It’s from the All My Love Suite of products. Along with the two hearts from Be Mine Stitched framelits. Just perfect for the sentiment.

It’s a lovely card! Wouldn’t you agree?

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – My Funny Valentine

January 26, 2019 · 2 Comments

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

Our theme this week features a Funny Valentine.

And, why not create a funny Valentine! These can be such fun!

I decided to go with a whimsical card –

I used the Cat Punch and the All My Love Designer Series Paper to punch out cats in three different patterns.

I randomly placed the cats on the card front. Once I got the placement I liked, I adhered them. They were all hanging off the card, so I trimmed them with the paper trimmer.

I found the perfect Valentine appropriate sentiment from the new Nine Lives stamp set!

This was the inspiration for this card –

My little blued eyed, Kitty Kitty!

As you can see, just have fun with your stamp supplies! Thanks for stopping by today!

Go forward to check out the funny Valentines from Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I can’t wait to see them myself!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Love Me Tender

Thanks for joining me today for our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a romantic Valentine card.

Of course we need one of these in the mix!

I’ll use some of the Sale-a-bration Foil Sheets in Grapefruit Grove & Lovely Lipstick.

Here, I used the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheets for the upper rectangle and the heart.

The ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ sentiment is from the stamp set, Meant to Be. This is also the name of the bundle that includes the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. This is where the scrolled heart came from. Very pretty!

All this was placed on a piece of black and white striped Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper. That is also a Sale-a-bration item! So many great choices when you spend $50 to get for free!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday, Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge –

I used the sketch and ‘love everybody’ to create this –

A lovely card using the All My Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

It is very cool that three of the patterns (I used 2 here) are the exact same print, just with a different background color! Here, I used one with a pink background and a the other has a Crumb Cake background. That’s the one I used for my diagonal cut.

The patterns line up perfectly with just a different background color! Pretty cool!

The sentiment is from the set, Meant to Be and stamped on a new Rectangle Stitched Framelits, these are very cool!

The heart is cut using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits from the same printed All My Love Designer Series Paper. And, bonus – one framelit cut both hearts out at once! The outer, scalloped heart is the reverse side!

I think this will be a card on my Card Buffet later in the month. It shows lots of different aspects of stamping and ways to use the products in the Meant to Be Bundle.

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – The Rose

January 12, 2019 · Leave a Comment

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

Our theme this week features ‘The Rose’ by Bette Midler. You can hear it now, can’t you??

I mixed a few things creating this –

I started with the carryover stamp, Buffalo Check stamped in Old Olive. It is adhered on a Blushing Bride card base.

I used the new Be Mine Stitched Framelits to create the heart opening through both layers. I also used those framelits to create a heart frame in Real Red.

After I created my base, I found the Tea Together stamp set had a really nice rose flower. I stamped a few of those, then colored them in Real Red and Old Olive Blends. There are coordinating framelits that you can get for free during Sale-a-Bration!

I added those to the side of the heart. I stamped the sentiment after the flowers were adhered through the heart. Luckily, it turned out perfectly!

The last addition was the Heart Epoxy Droplets placed next to the sentiment. Perfectly done.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great cards featuring roses!

Two Card Share

Happy Wednesday!

This past Monday night we had our Team Christmas party!

We ate, we socialized, we laughed, we exchanged gifts, we played an adorable left / right game and we made a couple of cards using new products!

Both cards are cute and might end up on my Card Buffet!

This one uses the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper –

The strip on the left side, the outside butterfly and an inside butterfly all come from the Designer Series Paper! A coordinating punch was used for both of the butterflies! So you can get LOTS from this paper!

I’m glad we did this card. I haven’t played with this paper much. It is very versatile!

The sentiment was stamped without the use of the Stamparatus! Can you believe it?? The image turned out quite well! I really like this card, simple and easy to recreate!

The other card we made was a Valentine card –

Lots of layers here. This card uses the Meant to Be Bundle. The stamp set is the Meant to Be with the coordinating framelits, the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. If you haven’t seen these, just look at how many you get! OMG! Awesome. Don’t over look these beauties!

I really liked both these cards! My upline provided both card designs. Not sure who she cased them from.
