Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features well wishes.

Perfect theme for this card –

This sentiment is soo pretty! It is from Beauty of The Season –

The leaves stamped around the sentiment, truly fall-like!

I stamped each leaf twice after being inked up.

Such a lovely card!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite New Designer Paper

February 13, 2021 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our favorite new Designer Series Papers, aka, pattern paper!

Well, this was a tough one as there are some nice papers in this mini catalog!

I chose the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper –

And the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate because it coordinates with it quite nicely –

I created these two beautiful cards to show off this beautiful combination –

Not only does this card show off the lovely papers, it is also creative fold too!

For instance on this card, this is the front.

Open the two flaps to reveal this –

Gorgeous, right??

The base on this card is 6 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 1″ and 5 1/4″.

Both Designer Series Paper and acetate, are 4″ x 5 1/4″. The center Very Vanilla piece is 3 3/4″ x 5″.

Here is the second card I created and the process –

This card base is 7 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 1″ and 6 1/2″.

Both Designer Series Paper and acetate are 5 1/4″ x 4.

I added the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper to right side first –

Then, I carefully placed the acetate over the floral pattern for placement. I added the Tear & Tape to adhere it on the left.

And that is how I basically created this Double Flap Fold!

These pictures just don’t do these cards justice!

What do you think?

Go forward to see what the others favorite Designer Series Papers are, next, Debbie Henderson, and back, to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

We Create – Happy Holidays

December 1, 2020 · 2 Comments

Happy December 1st! Wow!

Time for a blog hop –

Our theme this month is Happy Holidays!

I decided to create with this lovely Tag Buffet Project kit again –

This time I went with gift card holders! And a whole bunch of them!

Aren’t these the cutest?????

Look at them up close –

They are all the same basic gift card holder, just different color bases!

Similar to others I have made. I just love the color conbinations!

Each one is soo cute and sweet!

I like the gold ribbon pull too!

Not sure which style is my favorite!?!?

When you pull up on the tag, here is the card –

It is simply in a folded piece of card stock!

What do you think? Want to give these a go?

Check out the others on our blog hop today! And, we LOVE to read compliments too!

Love of Leaves

September 1, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Happy Stamp-tember and Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Regal Colors (Jewel Tones / Royal Colors)

I’ve got the perfect fall card for this layout and color theme –

Isn’t this just gorgeous?????

Jewel tones are such great fall colors!

I started with the plaid background from the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Yes, I keep using it because there are soo many great patterns to select from.

I used a large Hippo & Friends die in a circle-ish shape, embossing the center with Stitched Leaves die. Actually, I cut and embossed the whole leaf, adhering it the circle so it remained whole.

I added the diagonal piece and stamped the ‘thank you’ from the Love of Leaves stamp set.

Lastly, to create by the sketch, I added another leaf die cut and detailed off to the side.

I just love fall and creating for the fall.

Check out our 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. Remember, all of our challenges last two weeks!

Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe – April

April 4, 2020 · 9 Comments

Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

Here is our latest monthly challenge grid –

Lots of great options, huh?

I went with flowers, ribbon and texture –

Flowers are in this gorgeous Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Ribbon is from a Christmas suite, but matches the So Saffron sooo nicely.

Texture comes from two things. One the embossed Designer Series Paper. Two, the dies cut Whisper White later has a visual texture all round the card!

Simple lovely!

Come play along with us! I know some of you are home and are quarantine crafting! Lol!
