Harvest Hellos

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Back to School

September 7, 2019 · Leave a Comment

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

Our theme this week features back to school.

I created a card for encouragement –

This is one of my favorite sentiments from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set! Yes, I use it quite a bit! I combined it with the Harvest Hellos bundle, also a favorite of mine too!

I stamped the apples in Basic Gray, the sentiment in Black Memento to stand out more since it is soo close to the apple edge.

For a fun ‘back to school’ appeal, I used Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colors here.

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

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Fall

September 6, 2019 · 5 Comments

Happy Friday!

Today is the first Friday of the month and a blog hop! And, it’s still Stamp-tember for me too!

Our theme this month is fall! Perfect as fall is my favorite time of the year!

I just love this Apple Builder punch in the new holiday mini. It sure makes for a sweet fall card! It can be a pumpkin or an apple!

This lovely pattern paper is the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini catalog.

I am a big fan of white or heirloom pumpkins and this shade of Mint Macaron looks like some of them.

I masked off the center of the middle pumpkin to get this look with no lines. It made it easier to stamp the sentiment inside.

The sentiment is from the Gather Together stamp set. I thought is was a goos one with the three pumpkins!

Please take the time to leave a comment before going on to the next blog on the hop. I think you’ll really enjoy all the ideas we have to share this month!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest 2 week challenge to get your creativity going –

Optional Theme : 3 Colors, 2 Shapes, 1 Designer Series Paper

I’ve been itching to play with a new bundle that I just got. This Harvest Hellos, will be available September 4th. It is a coordinating stamp and punch.

Makes a very cute apple –

Cute, right? Just wait until you see the pumpkin the same punch can make!!! It is also very cute!

The sentiment is from the same stamp set as well. Makes creating this card way easier by using as minimal products as possible.

I simply love it! And, I think I got the all these : 3 colors, 2 shapes and 1 Designer Series Paper!
