Happy Thursday!

I have an adorable card designed for our new color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary –

I have been itching to play with the new Apron of Love bundle. So, I finally thought these colors were perfect to design with!

I started by cutting the apron from the Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper, Bubbles & Fizz.

I used the hostess set, Yay You, to stamp the hearts on either side of the strip of Lemon Lime Twist (it’s part of a card from the Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes, a free Sale-a-Bration item).

The trim along the bottom of the apron is the same as the Calypso Coral trim along the side of the Lemon Lime Twist strip. It’s one of the framelits included in the set! So are the cute little utensils and the apron pocket! This set is just adorable!

Check out the other Design team cards on our blog. You can show off your creations on our Facebook page this week!

Bubble Over

February 22, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Hi my stampin’ friends! Time for a new inspirational challenge from Create with Connie and Mary!

This is our new layout for inspiration this week –

This is a fun one!!

I decided to play with the fun Bubble Over Bundle to create this –

Initially, my card was square like the inspiration. These bottles are pretty generous in size, so I increased the hight of my card to a standard card. These are the smaller bottles too!

I can’t wait to give this card out. It’s simply fun!

The other Design Team members created some wonderful cards too. Check them out on our blog.

Hopefully, we will inspire you! Upload your creations using the sketch on our Facebook page.

Happy day after Valentine’s Day!

Sharing a card designed for Create with Connie and Mary today!

We have a new color challenge for the week –

Lovely colors! Greens. My favorite!

I went with a birthday card –

It’d be great for any adult friends celebrating! And, for any birthdays around St. Patrick’s Day too! Lol, the green beer!

I used the Birthday Wit from the 2018 Occasions Mini to stamp the words. Mixed Drinks from the regular Stampin’ Up catalog for the – drinks! I did fussy cut the drinks!

This is an adorable quick card and cute card!

The other Design Team members created some wonderful cards using these colors too! Check them out here. Want to create a card and join our challenge? You can do that here. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

We Create – February Blog Hop

February 1, 2018 · 5 Comments

Happy first day of February and, happy Three Post Thursday!

My third post is another blog hop for We Create.

Our theme is to create a card, then recreate it again, adding elements to ‘step it up’, make it fancy.

As my focal image, I’m using a favorite of mine, Watts of Occasions –

It’s just too cute!!! This is simple. Pretty. Elegant.

But…..add a few elements……and you get this –

Just as lovely too! Bright, cheerful.

I added the Designer Series Paper, Bubble & Fizz, that you can earn free through Sale-a-bration. I made the border around the focal image slightly smaller. The heart is also fussy cut in Calypso Coral.

Simple changes. Wonderful designs. Which one you like better?

Check out my other posts for the day! I’ve been busy creating!

As this is a blog hop, check out the next designer, Kris, on the creative trail!

Sure Do Love You

Happy Tuesday! I created a card for Try Stampin’ on Tuesday today.

We have a new sketch every week, but we create on a team every other week. I just loved our sketch this week and wanted to join in the fun –

I just had to play along! Isn’t this a great layout to follow?

I pulled out some Sale-a-bration Designer Paper, Bubbles & Fizz, and started creating from there. Next thing you know, I had made this –This was a lot of fun to put together. I used The Layering Circles Framelits along with the Sweet & Sassy Framelits (hearts) and cut the Basic Grey circle out. I also cut a heart from Smoky Slate as well.

I stamped the sentiment and added a small piece of ribbon shimmer ribbon underneath it. Simply done. I layered everything on the Smokey Slate card base.

Have I inspired you yet? Take a look at the other cards from the Try Stampin on Tuesday Design team. You can link a card on our blog or on our Facebook page too! See you there!

We Create – January Blog Hop

January 1, 2018 · 4 Comments

Happy NEW YEAR and the second blog post for today!!!

This is another blog hop filled with ideas! This time, I’m hopping with We Create!

I am sooo excited to play with new stuff that will be available January 3!

I created two cards for the hop using the same layout and stepping one of them up.

I loved how this turned out! I started with the free Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper, Bubbles & Fizz and went with those colors to design the rest of the card. I used a new stamp from Birthday Wit for the focal point on the card. The Tutti-frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins were a nice added touch! These are going to be a favorite of mine – I can already tell!

I took everything and added a little pizzaz –

Also and equally awesome card! The sentiment I stamped in the different colors and I cut them out to place over the existing stamped words.

I love both these cards! I think one of them I will feature on my January Card Buffet!

As this is a blog hop, check out the next designer on the creative trail!
