Decorative Circle Punch

Another Round

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I am continuing my masculine theme with this card –

I love the 70’s vibe here! It’s these colors! Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry work quite well together.

Of course this is a favorite stamp of mine, Brewed For You. Classic guy stamp set in my opinion,

I added the twist of color and the sentiment in the Nested Essentials Dies. It really adds to the vibe!

Additionally, this is a square card, 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ card, which will still fit into a standard envelope.

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

Optional Theme : Bunny, Duck, and / or Lamb

I think I’ve got a great card to share today –

I have soo much pattern paper that I thought Easter cards for friends would be a great way to use up some of it! Here, this card features the Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper.

I punched bunnies from the So Saffron card stock to coordinate with the card base and colors in the paper.

The sweet Decorative Circle Punch was a nice way to accentuate the sentiment.

What do you think? Sweet enough for friends for Easter?

Hi Bunny

Hello my Stampin’ friends!

Today is the last day to order from the retiring July – December Mini Catalog. So much of it is marked down to clear it out! You should probably take one last look!

For the past few days, I have been showing old stuff with new stuff. Today is my last day of this combination. Today, with these sweet bunny cards –

I love a great layout where I can make multiple cards and use up paper. I am featuring the Gingham Cottage one last time. Did I tell you it’s only $18.00 for 48, 12″ x 12″ sheets?!?!

I started with a rectangle, then cut that into three pieces, trimming one a bit. I arranged them in the same layout on a piece of Basic White card stock.

I paired the pastel cards with the new Easter Bunny Bundle, stamp set and punch.

I did a simple solid punch, placing the bunnies on a vellum. I used the sentiment ‘Hi’ from the set to mail out now. This can easily be changed to the Happy Easter sentiment in the set.

Furry & Bright Scottie

July 7, 2022 · 2 Comments

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I participated in QC Swappers swap for the July – December Mini catalog creating this bright, fun card –

Just a cheery as can be, right?

For starters, I used the Christmas Scottie bundle along with my Stamparatus to stamp a nice, clean, crisp black Scottie. I also used it to stamp the sentiment on this narrow strip.

The two bright prints are from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series paper. Yes, I’ve use it alot because this hostess pack is huge!

The assembled quite fast with everything being pre-cut!

The last detail was the little Rhinestone Basic Jewel for the tag on the collar! Added the ‘just right bling’ for this card!

Blogging Friends June 2022 Blog Hop – Step It Up

June 3, 2022 · 1 Comment

Happy Friday my stampin’ friends!

It’s been a while since I got together with this talented group of stampers. We’d like to inspire you with some great ideas today!

Our theme this month is one card, three way, showing different crafting styles!

Here are my three cards –

I used the Best Butterflies Bundle and the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper. I used the same layout for each card, but adding a little something each time to ‘step it up’.

This first card is for the ‘beginning crafter’. It is a great card, simple in design with minimal dimension. Actually, totally my style of a card.

‘Casual crafter’ for this one. I added the Fresh Freesia card base, popped up the Basic White layer and sentiment. Love this style as well.

‘Avid crafter’ for this stepped up beauty! I added a bit more dimension here, the Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon, and the 2022-2024 Matte Decorative Dots. Just gorgeous adding these other items!

So, which is your favorite?
