Here is how I styled this card –

Simple. Beautiful.

The paper and sentiment are a great combination here. They do all the work!

I love the addition of the small Gold Foil strips behind the sentiment and the gold Sharpie colored Heart Pearls. These have been my favorite go-to embellishment these days.

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

This is simply the sweetest bunny punch –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Easter Bunny Bundle, Easter Bunny, Beautiful Shapes Dies, Easter Bunny Punch, Best Label Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, Easter, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

Well, Easter Bunny Punch. So cute, right? I punched him and placed him on something a little different, a circle from the Beautiful Hapes Dies. It has some nice embossed lines.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Easter Bunny Bundle, Easter Bunny, Beautiful Shapes Dies, Easter Bunny Punch, Best Label Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, Easter, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

This nice paper is from the Country Floral Lane pack. This shows one piece, both sides.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Easter Bunny Bundle, Easter Bunny, Beautiful Shapes Dies, Easter Bunny Punch, Best Label Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, Easter, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

Since we are a ways aways from Easter, I used the ‘Hi’ sentiment. I’ll use this card for Easter, I am sure of it. I’ll just change the sentiment.

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color / layout challenge –

I’m in the middle of making Valentine cards and these colors are perfect for a twist on a classic –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Country Bouquet, Alphabet a la Mode Dies, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Banners Pick A Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

Such a sweet card, right? It’s all because of the Alphabet a la Mode Dies! They are the best!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Country Bouquet, Alphabet a la Mode Dies, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Banners Pick A Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

The letters fit perfectly on punched Rectangle Postage Stamp pieces covered in Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. Soo cute!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Country Bouquet, Alphabet a la Mode Dies, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, Banners Pick A Punch, Country Floral Lane DSP, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

The sentiment is from the Country Bouquet Stamp set. It looks like an arrow with both ends punched with the Banners Pick A Punch. Such a great versatile punch for various widths of strips! 

I’ll be making a few more of these great cards! How about you?

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Happy new catalog day!

And, welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge! First one of 2023!

Here is our first color challenge for the year –

Love these colors, don’t you? Here is how I used them –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Country Bouquet Bundle, Country Bouquet, Country Bouquet Punch, Stitched With Whimsy Dies, Country Floral Lane DSP, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

With new products from the January – June Mini Catalog! I started with this Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, adding the focal point.

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Country Bouquet Bundle, Country Bouquet, Country Bouquet Punch, Stitched With Whimsy Dies, Country Floral Lane DSP, CCMC, Create with Connie and Mary Challenges

For the focal point, I used the Country Bouquet Bundle, stamp set and punch. Look closely and you can see the detailing on the strip behind the two hearts. This is a new banner punch called Happy Labels Pick A Punch.
