Stamping With Friends Blog Hop – CASEing the Catty

October 9, 2021 · 4 Comments

Hello everyone!

I am sharing lots of creativity with you today with our hop –

Theme – We are CASing the catalog today!

You know me and my love of clean and simple cards, well, I chose a card on page 57 of the mini –

It uses the lovely Heartfelt Wishes stamp set –

and, the returning Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper –

I used the same stamp set and paper from the pack to create this –

I love this paper and was thrilled it came back this season!

I do not have the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks, so I used the Wonderful Snowflakes instead! All I needed was one because they are so generous in size! And, iridescent too!

This layout would be great for a mass production of cards! Wouldn’t you agree?

I am soo excited to see what all was CASed from the catalogs we have. So many great ideas! Check them out –

Crafty Collaborations – Autumn Blog Hop

September 16, 2021 · 18 Comments

Happy Thursday!

How about a Crafty Collaborations blog hop?

You know me and my love for fall – I couldn’t pass this one up!

I am participating in a sampler swap so I’d share my creation for it –

These are 3″ x 3″ and we will group 9 fall squares together.

They are adorable!

I used a strip of gingham pattern paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper along the side. I love this particular pattern for fall!

Along with a die cut leaf from the Intricate Leaves Dies –

The last addition was a stamped sentiment to fill in the space nicely. It came from the Banner Year stamp set –

All together, these came together in a snap – I even made more after I took these pictures!

They are just too cute. I can not wait to post my sampler when I get all of them back!

I also think this design would make for a nice card. I’ll play around with that later.

I’ve been in a fall mood this week! So today, I am sharing this –

Such a pretty card! So fall!

The two leaves for the wreath are from the Banner Year stamp set –

So many great elements in this all occasion fall set!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the wreath. I rotated my card stock around the stamp, stamping each time I went around to make a circle!

The background is a new embossing folder, Timeworn Type 3D, it sure makes a pretty background!

I love the strip of gingham paper at the top of the banner, it’s from Heartwarming Hugs –

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite Christmas Set

December 19, 2020 · 1 Comment

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

Our theme this week features our favorite Christmas set.

No problem for this! I have loved the Gift Wrapped stamp set before it was a thing! It’s just the perfect stamp set for a lot of things!

Look at this gorgeous stamped bow –

And, this design can work for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

Look as it is opened –

And fully opened –

I made a gift (business) card holder! Yes, another gift card holder!

I’ve made the tall pop up versions, but not the wide. So I got to playing around! Now, I’ll to take it apart for the measurements! I kept tweaking it!

I was really hoping this bundle would have carried over. It is a wonderful, versatile one! I guess I can use mine when no one is looking! I’ll be great for birthdays!

I am curious as to what everyone’s favorite set is, aren’t you? Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Christmas Wreath

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Wreath or Foilage

Great idea as I am designing cards for my annual Christmas card class.

Simply sweet as I’d like to say.

I due cut the same wreath design from the Wreath Builder Dies in two colors and adhered them askew.

I placed them on a strip of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. I made the bottom a banner by cutting up the center about 1/4″ and making a diagonal cut from each end to the top of the cut in the center. Easy, easy, when you want a quick flag look.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment nice and sharp.

Lastly, I added a bow made from Real Red 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim. It added texture and dimension for the card. I love it!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Coloring

Well……I didn’t get the coloring part this week –

But I did create a really cute card!

I used the Press on stamp set along with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to create gift card holder.

I stamped the coffee cup on the Real Red and Whisper White card stocks, along with the pattern paper. I hand cut them all and put them together.

Sure makes for an adorable card!
