A nice, small book to makes notes of all things we are thankful for.

Grateful – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Happy Saturday! Time for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a Grateful card.

Perfect as I’m getting cards together for November.

I pulled out the Country Home stamp set, some framelits, some punches…….for this –

I started with the sentiment stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I had the background Buffalo Check already stamped in Merry Merlot. I added the lines in Blackberry Bliss.

I layered leaves and sprigs until I got just the right look. The card is finished off with a bow of lovely Linen Trim.

Don’t you just love this?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great

A Country Home Hello

September 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

I’m playing around with wonderful fall stuff today –

I really love this popular Country Home stamp set! At first, it didn’t catch my eye. But, the more I saw cards made with it, I decided I just had to purchase it!

I stamped the pitcher first, then the flowers over the top.

While that dried, I embossed the new Galvanized Metallic paper using the new Tin Tile Dynamic embossing folder. It goes virtually unnoticed in the catalog. Its found on the same page as the other items in this collection.

I framelit cut the oval. The flowers were colored using Blends and regular markers! Love the combination here.

Create with Connie and Mary gave us this sketch for inspiration this week –

The Design Team created some beautiful cards using it. Check them out!

Show off your cards on our Facebook page too!

Favorite Holiday Catalog Greeting – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

September 15, 2018 · 4 Comments

Happy Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our Favorite Holiday Catalog Greeting.

Favorites are always difficult as several are always my favorite! You as well?

I went with one from the Country Home stamp set –

I think this is just the sweetest sentiment! I mean, who wouldn’t love to receive this??? It’d make anyones day, for sure!

I stamped the can and the two different flowers from the set as well. All four were framelit cut using the Frosted Bouquet Framelits. They all fit perfectly!

The sentiment I added the frame around it to highlight it.

All of these were placed on a strip of Designer Series Paper from the Country Lane pack.

You’ll notice the little stamped ovals on top and below the DSP, those are a label stamp in the set as well! Just a sweet detail and a great idea using something in a different way!

Please go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great favorite sentiment!
