Happy Sunday!

Whipped up this cute card today –

I am in love with this cute little Scottie dog! We have now have a Scottie Dog Punch!

I combined it with this sweet Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. It seems to be my go-to these days! It is a hostess only item.

I have not joined any challenges lately, but I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches –

This sweet little card just fit the challenge wonderfully!

Hello Stampin’ friends!

Time for another blog hop today! (I’m in 3 if your interested in seeing more of my creativity!)

How about Christmas in July? That is our theme for today!

I went with one of my favorite things in card making, One Sheet Wonders, OSW, for a 6″ x 6″ sheet of paper!

Here is the adorable group of cards –

I used products from the new Mini Catalog, and the Sale-a-bration catalog. Both start in August!

Here are these cute cards up close –

The penguin was punched using the new Penguin Builder Punch.

Yes, his buddy, the polar bear, was fussy cut.

This adorable Designer Series Paper is from Sale-a-bration, Penguin Playmates! It WILL be a must have!

All the cards were created using my 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder pattern –

The 3″ x 3″ square was cut in half creating two pieces, 1 1/2″ x 3″ to create one of the cards.

In addition, I used these pieces to create each of the cards –

(4) DSP pieces, 4″ x 5 1/4″
(4) Fresh Freesia, 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″
(4) Soft Sea Foam, 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
(4) Basic White, 1″ x 3″

What do you think? Will you be trying these? Please give me a shout out if you do!

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

Our theme this week features Christmas cards, yes, in July! It’s a thing these days!

Since the new catalog comes out soon, next month, I thought I’d go with supplies you can get now!

My starting point was this Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper because it is on sale!

And, a 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder –

I created a template to make it easier to understand! I just love these One Sheet Wonders! (FYI, the line for card C is in the wrong place on the template, but the measurements are correct.)

Here is what I created –

Aren’t these the prettiest!?!?! Soo easy as well!

This is Card A on the template.

This is Card B on the template.

Card C (Note, the line on the picture is wrong, but the dimensions are correct, 2 pieces, 1 1/2″ x 3″.)

And, Card D.

This layout can either be vertical or horizontal. I usually gravitate towards vertical cards, so I thought I would change it up for these. I’ve made several different variations of these over time.

Additional sizes I used to create these cards –

(2) Evening Evergreen, 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, 1″ x 3″ strip
(2) Cherry Cobbler, 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, 1″ x 3″ strip
(4) Soft Succulent, 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
(4) Sahara Sand card bases

I really like this new stamp set, Inspired Thoughts because of all the included sentiments! Two Christmas greeting and all these other wonderful ones as well!

Additionally, I used the Tasteful Labels Dies for the sentiment and the Gold Foil strip on each card.

What do you think? Will you be trying these out? Drop me a line if you do!

This paper, and others are on sale currently. Check them all out here, or click the image –

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

Our theme this week features a Christmas card!

Nice! Some like to work on these in July! I would if I had Christmas supplies. Not to worry.

Create your own from what you have!

I took the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and the Real Red Blends and just had a little fun coloring! I finished the card off with a die cut sentiment on Silver Foil. It doesn’t get much easier.
