CASing Mary Brown from Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop
Welcome stampers!
Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
Our theme this week starts off CASing, Copy And Share, our own designers! We will start with Mary Brown!
Mary is a great designer! I could have copied any number of her cards! I chose a recent one –
And turning it into a Christmas card –
I used the new Merriest Trees Bundle, stamps set and dies, for this sweet card! Soo cute!
The stripe pattern paper is the new Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper. One side is Christmas, the other side is generic patterns! I used it the other day for a masculine card.
I added one of the Basics 3D Embossed panels. This polka dot pattern is cute, but I made it a little more subtle by flattening the dots after I embossed it!
Check out everyone’s CAS on Mary Brown! Debbie Henderson is next, back is Cindy Elam.
We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

With A Little More Sparkle
Hello my stampin’ friends!
Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!
For the next month of challenges, we are CASEing the new catalog. These are always fun challenges as we get to use what we want from the inspiration card. Here is this weeks challenge –
I decided to make my first Christmas in July card –
Pretty. Pretty.
I started with this nice plaid from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Since it was blue, I created a blue and white snowflake with the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder. Although, I used it to cut the shape I needed.
I added the stamped sentiment on the larger panel like the sample.
To further the Christmas theme, I added a shimmer circle of Night of Navy with some white dies cut trees from the Zany Zoo Dies! Perfect little Christmas trees!
These In Color Dots help take up the extra space around the sentiment and add the festive holiday touch to this card!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Country Christmas
Welcome stampers!
Thank for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
Our holiday theme today will be a country Christmas!
This was fun to create! I started with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
The first two layers were cut with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies.
Next came the wreath. I used a few different card stocks and the Country Wreaths dies to create a simple focal point.
The card was busy with both Designer Paper Patterns. I felt the wreath

Santa Express 12 Days of Christmas Day 10
Hello Stampers!
Do I have a treat for you for the next 2 days!?!!?
I have taken both the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and the Santa Express Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and created 12 different simple fun fold cards, mini boxes, treat bags, and other items using almost only these items with minimal additional supplies!
Get ready for some real creativity!
Day 10 –
Gift tags! Everyone uses gift tags at Christmas!
These were easy easy!
I used one of the large M & M Cards and trimmed the sides a bit and cut it in half.
I placed that card on one of the M & M Cards & Envelopes that was also cut it in half. Punched a hole in the upper corner. Added the 3/16″ Iridescent Trim to tie onto a bag or stick onto a gift later.
I will write or die cut initials for the tags as I use them. The inside I will write a little note!
HOw do you like these easy tags?
You can go back and look at previous days too!
Christmas Wishes
Hello my stampin’ friends!
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
Thank you for joining our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!
Here is our current layout challenge –
I do love Thanksgiving quite a bit, but I went with a Christmas card today –
….and a fancy one at that!
For this card, I started with creating the wreath. I had all these scraps from making Thanksgiving cards using the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I used Stampin’ Blends to color them and instantly I had the pieces for a Christmas Wreath!
I felt the wreath needed something to stunning to match it. I chose this background die from the Organic Beauty Dies. It is perfect, especially in Gold Foil.
Lastly, this banner for the sentiment was the finishing touch this card needed.
What do you think? Yay or nay?

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – CASEing Connie Babbert
Welcome stampers!
Thank for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
This is the last week, we will be CASEing (copy and share everything) designers on the blog hop!
Our last designer to CASE is Connie Babbert. We each get to choose a card we like, copy the layout and the colors, but add stamps and dies from the July – December Mini catalog.
Here is my card of choice –
And here is my fun take on it –
A fun, whimsical Christmas card featuring the Trimming The Tree Bundle.
I used several stamps from this set, the tree, bow, sentiment, and garland on the strip. The dies all come in the set too!
Notice the embossed tree background? It is the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder. A super cute addition here.
Pretty colors for a non traditional Christmas card I’d say. What do you think?
Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!
We will see you next week!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – CASEing Debbie Henderson
Welcome stampers!
Thank for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
For the next several weeks, we have a real treat for you. We will be CASEing (copy and share everything) each designer on the blog hop!
This week, we are all CASEing Debbie Henderson. We each get to choose a card we like, copy the layout and the colors, but add stamps and dies from the July – December Mini catalog.
I chose to CASE this card –
Here is my take on it –
I used the Ringed With Nature stamp set. I thought this simple, lovely poinsettia was such a nice bold compliment to Debbie’s Cherry card.
I chose the same colors, Poppy Parade and Parakeet Party. They just pop together!
I love the layout, the colors, the simplicity – everything of her original and my CASE. What do you think? Pretty nice?
This is a great set of challenges. I bet Debbie Henderson, copied herself well everyone else did too, including next, Cindy Elam. Enjoy today’s fun!
We will see you next week!

Season’s Greetings
Welcome Monday!
How about a new challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to start your week off creativity!?!?
I went with a Christmas card for this challenge –
I used the Words Of Cheer bundle –
I stamped the focal point image using the Stamparatus to get a nice eevenly stamped image. I used a combination of stamps and Stampin’ Blends to color the floral image. Then I did the unthinkable – I cut the image in half to space it apart for the sentiment. If not, it would have covered most of it up!
See what I mean?
Such a pretty card! I love these colors together! They are soo pretty!

Hello Saturday!
Second hop for the day!
We have a nice, jewel tone color challenge –
I tried real hard to use all the colors. I just couldn’t find the right cohesive look will all the colors.
I did create this, and I loved it!
I knew I wanted to use the gorgeous Plush Poinsettia Designer Series Paper. I placed it on a piece of Merry Merlot card stock with it peeking out just a bit.
I backed it on Silver Foil then on to a Pretty Peacock base.
There is no stamping on this card as I used the Joy Dies. The word Joy is die cut in Silver Foil with a Just Jade border.
This is just soo elegant! Wouldn’t you agree?
Leave me a comment and let me know! Then check out the others on the hop as well!

- Card Stock – Pretty Peacock, Silver Foil, Merry Merlot, Just Jade
