Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

I went with a sweet sympathy card –

I used the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Daffodil Afternoon for this card. I love the 70’s retro colors!

The sentiment is from the Artfully Layered stamp set. I love the font! It matches the paper nicely.

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. We all use a variety of products, so come join us with what supplies you have! All of our challenges are two weeks long.

Happy Saturday!

Time to show off what we are working on!

Our theme is anything we are working on!

Well, how about thank you cards?!?!

A great simple layout for mass production!

card base, 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
DSP, 4″ x 5 1/4″
coordinating strip, 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
punched tags
ribbon

Easy, peasy, and soo cute!

Since the larger piece of Designer Series Paper was striped, I alternated the cards for interest. I was making several more than pictured!

This fun paper is the hostess, Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. I love it! Totally great for these kinds of projects as you get 4 sheets of each pattern in the package, 48 total (yes, you read that correctly, 48)!

This sweet sentiment is the Biggest Wish stamp set, another quite versatile, must have, set to have !

These will be so well received! What do you think?

See what everyone is up to today! Please leave compliments if you can!

I love all these fabulous sentiments here! This font is also fabulous too!

I trimmed the Everyday Label sentiment to get a more customized shape here.

The Champagne Basic Rhinestone Jewels were a nice added touch for the card!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Winter Wonder

Ok, how about using some more of this Let it Snow Designer Series Paper. I love this paper, but I really love it more when I have used it all up! Lol!

It is a pretty sweet card, isn’t it?

I used most of the snowmen from that sheet to create other projects. But portions of snowmen, I used various punches to punch them to still be able to use them!

Here, I used the Everyday Label punch. The stamped sentiment is from the Cup of Christmas set. It was just right sentiment for the card. It fits just right under the punched shape!

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday blog or Facebook page. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on either site.

Hello Monday!

I had a wonderful Card Buffet this weekend and I was inspired to add just one more card to the choices –

My inspiration came from Freshly Made Sketches and this sketch –

This wonderful Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper is the perfect fit for this card!

I paired the Designer Series Paper with this cute Cake Builder punch and coordinating stamp set. The cake is accented in this lovely Christmastime is Here paper pattern. It is pretty solid and makes for a great focal point.

It was also a hit at the class! What do you think?

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

What great colors!

They look perfect on this card –

This just turned out perfectly!

I started with a Sahara Sand panel stamped with the Birch Wood stamp in Sahara Sand.

The Perennial Flowers are stamped on Very Vanilla in Grapefruit Grove ink. Each flower on the card uses three punched flower shapes.

I added the leaves stamped in Pretty Peacock, punched with the Leaf Punch.

The sentiment is also stamped in Pretty Peacock on Very Vanilla. It’s punched with Everyday Label punch. To create the border around it, I punched a 1″ circle for the circle part and another Everyday Label that I cut in two. I placed it behind the circle. So easy!

What do you think? Pretty easy!?

Check out the Design Team creations on our Create with Connie and Mary blog.

July 12, 2019 · 4 Comments

Hello my Friday friends!

July is a third over and I’m creating and sharing something everyday because it’s my birthday month!

I was inspired by this sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches –

I am also designing cards for my upcoming Card Buffet.

This might be a winner here –

A beautiful sunflower! The center part is a flap!

It lifts up to write the inside greeting! How cool is that?!?! It’s embossed on the one, top, half the strip.

I love this card. A lot! It does use several of products though…..Most items are obvious (I think), please ask if you can’t figure something out.

I will say, the scalloped center of the sunflower is stamped using one of the stamps from the Artisan Textures.

A little tip for this card, the Crushed Curry Designer Series Paper is actually 1″ strips along the outer portion of the card. That paper has only a few sheets in the pack. This way, it will go further!

Stampin’ Up Supplies –

Stamp Set – Daisy Lane, Artisan Textures
Dies / Embossing – Pinewood Planks EF
Card Stock – Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry

Best Catch Ever

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

We have another inspirational two week challenge! Such a great way to get you to play with your stuff and be creative!

Optional Theme : Watercolor

What a great simple layout to work with. Especially, if you flip it as I did!

I chose a masculine card!

It’s simply great for a guy who’s onto fishing!

After I chose the colors to work with, I embossed the Pool Party background using the Seaside Textured Impressions folder. I flipped it over and used what I consider the backside of the embossed panel.

I stamped the fish from the Best Catch stamp set onto a piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series paper. The pattern I chose was perfect as it looked lightly watercolored. It gave the fish some subtle shading without having to color it at all! I used the Catch of the Day Thinlits to cut it out.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set, punched with the Everyday Label punch.

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

We’ve been ‘CASEing’ the new Stampin’ Up catalog for a few weeks now because there are soo many great ideas within its pages!

Here is our last catalog image to be inspired by –

Quite a pretty image!

I really felt the urge to use the (formerly known as) Oh So Eclectic Bundle.

The image shows light stamping behind the main focal point. I thought the dies from the Eclectic layers were perfect as they emboss leaving a slight image, not cut! So it makes a nice impression on the card.

I also stamped the little plus signs too in the background.

I love how this card turned out. It’s not my typical style….but, sometimes we need to step out of our design box! I think it’ll be a big hit.

The other Design Team members at Create with Connie and Mary created some great cards too! Go take a peek.

And We Give Thanks – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

November 4, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! Time to share for Create with Connie and Mary and our Saturday blog hop.

Our theme this week is ‘We give thanks’. Great way to start the month of November!

This Soft Sky blue is a great fall blue! It looks wonderful with these additional fall colors.

This card was simply created by adhering a piece of Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper to the card base. I added the stamped and punched sentiment from All Things Thanks. The Everyday Label Punch fit this sentiment perfectly! I tied Pool Party Baker’s twine around the card. The color looks close to Soft Sky. Easy, easy.

Going forward, check out Debbie Henderson, and going back, Mary Brown.

I know you’ll be inspired with their takes on our ‘We Give Thanks’ theme!

Tuesday I showed the swaps from our Team Meeting on Monday. Thursday I shared my swap. And, today, I’m sharing our projects we created!

Nice that we made a variety using different items!

This first swap was great because I don’t have this Snowflake Sentiments Bundle –

It made for a beautiful card. This intricate die takes patience.

This was a really fun fold for a Christmas card –

It used some of my favorite Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini, Merry Little Christmas. Opened up, it’s really pretty too –

Sentiment is from the Hang Your Stocking.

The last project was a really quick, easy and very cute idea –

Mini Pizza Box treat holder with a belly band!

Of course, a little inside decor too!

Fall Card with non-Fall Colors- Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

October 7, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! Time for a hop around the talented designers at Create with Connie and Mary!

Our theme this week is to create a fall card using non-fall colors. This could get really interesting!

I decided to go with a classic black and used some Designer Series Paper to compliment the leaf cut outs –

For a little added drama, I made the 2 strips a little shorter along the Designer Series Paper panel. Baker’s Twine always adds the right touch! Added embellishment here, the Basic Black Rhinestone Jewels! So pretty!

I bet you are curious as the other designs on the non-traditional fall colored cards aren’t you? Head forward to Debbie Henderson and head back, Mary Brown –
