Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

I flipped the sketch to create this –

When I saw the caldron from the Potions & Spells, I immediately thought of a fishbowl. I then realized that the Submarine Life fish were the perfect scale to be fish in my fishbowl!

I added the wavy pattern paper from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and it was just the right touch!

This is simply adorable!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s Case The Catalog challenge to spark your creativity –

I decided to follow the layout for my card –

I used a new Online Exclusive, the Iconic Imagery Bundle. it has multiple images for the holidays. I think it will be a favorite of mine!

This nice watercolor shaded Designer Series Paper, pattern paper, is Bright & Beautiful. The stamped images are also from the Iconic Imagery stamp set. I used the Blueberry Bushel ink stamped on the inside Basic White then stamped on the front pattern paper so they’d be lighter.

The sheer silver edged ribbon is so festive, as are the addition of the Iridescent Faceted Gems!

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features wedding or anniversary cards.

I needed a special anniversary card for my daughter –

Simple. Fun. Elegant.

This Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper really spoke to me in these soft water colored shades of pinks and purples. Great, as pink is her favorite color. The die cutting of the sentiment words from the Mini Alphabet Dies came next. Bubble Bath seemed to be a great choice.

I remembered we had this new larger heart die from the Friends For Life Dies. These were perfect in Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia. The inside letters bordered the overlapping heart nicely.

It can read, Ten Happy Years, or Happy Ten Years. Either way totally work for what I wanted to say.

What do you think of this style of anniversary card?

Go forward to check out Melissa Davies, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Happy Happy Birthday

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new color challenge to spark your creativity –

I created a birthday ‘Bridge Card’ –

Bridge Card you ask? Let’s take a look –

As you lift the (first) front, you see this. Keep going –

Until you get to the inside!

Pretty cool, right? And it uses a standard card base too! I just added two additional cuts on the front to help create the bridge supports.

I used a variety of products starting with the Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper for the Happy Birthday die cuts. The fancy acetate is the Gold Celebrations, but I flipped it to the silver side. The pattern strips are from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. I added them to the sides of the bridge, flap, and inside.

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

I rotated the sketch –

Creating this –

Such a bright, cheery card!

I started with stamping the sentiment on this Scalloped Contours rectangle. Both are absolutely great and, sadly retiring!

To match the sentiment, I decided on this Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and this fun sun from the Bright Skies Dies.

Together, it creates a simply great card!I can not wait to get this in the mail! it will surely brighten my friends day!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

We are back to our alternating color or layout challenges. This week, we have a new color challenge to spark your creativity –

I toyed with these colors for a bit. And, look at the results! Don’t you just love this?!?!

So, so pretty!!! I surprised myself on this one! You ever do that?

I combined several products here. The striped background is the Nested Essentials Dies. The floral items are from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I added the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper for interest, rather than a solid piece of Lemon Lolly.

The sentiment is from a favorite stamp in the new catalog, Layering Leaves, die cut from the Nested Essentials Dies.

I am soo excited to send this card out!

Stretch it Out – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

June 24, 2023 · 4 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features slim line or mini slim cards! You know what I went with!

Yes, a sweet little 3 1/2″ x 6″ mini slim card! Pun intended as these are sweet little ice creams pops on this Fun Fold!

And, it holds a gift card too!

I used dies several to create this. Starting off with my popsicles using the Nested Essentials Dies and some tiny popsicle sticks I found online.

I set those on strips cut from a long die found in the Beautiful Balloons Dies. This subtle detail added some texture.

Lastly, I cut tiny, flagged strips from the Countryside Corners Dies. I stamped them with an also tiny Happy Birthday from the Sentimental Park stamp set.

This is just as cute as can be! What do you think? I love the slim card idea this week!

Next, see Debbie Henderson, and back, Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Birthday Bash – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

June 10, 2023 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is birthday cards – of all sorts!

Love a great layout that shows all sorts of pattern papers. I also love it when a die can cut all the shapes for me!

Isn’t this neat?!?! I used the Gone Fishing Dies to create the rounded, rectangle border and the inserts for the cuts of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper.

It was quite simple to do as I used scraps in the dies to create the cuts. I could have easily cut 4 sheets of Designer Series Paper creating 4 cards, but I decided to create one here.

I could have also just put scraps a bit bigger than the openings behind the openings to make it even quicker.

I popped up my sentiment too so it would stand out.

Pretty nifty, huh?

Let the birthday celebration continue with Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. Everyone always have great ideas!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!
