Easter Eggs For You

March 16, 2017 · 8 Comments

Happy Thursday! Yes, Thursday. Already. Looks like another month is flying by before our eyes!

And, you know what that means? Time for another Create with Connie and Mary challenge.

What a cool layout we have today –

I decided to go with a fun Easter type card –

Isn’t this cute, cute?

I just love how the glimmer paper ‘eggs’ are sort of hidden in the grass. This glimmer paper can be yours for FREE through the end of the month during Sale-a-Bration.

I raised the white panel to give the card a little extra ‘pop’ – although it’d look great without it too.

This is a really fun layout and I enjoyed creating a great card with it. For more great inspiration, check out our website or create your own take on the challenge and link up on our Facebook page.

For You, Snowman!

December 29, 2016 · 4 Comments

Got a quick card slash gift idea I created for Create with Connie and Mary this week!

We have very pretty colors as our inspirational start for the week –

I love these colors! So many different ways you could go with them. But, I chose to go with a winter or could be Christmas themed card –

See,winter, but, could be Christmas, but, doesn’t have to be!

And. Bonus. It’s a gift card holder!!!!

I love to whip these up. Basic measurement is 4 1/4 x 11. Scored at 1 1/2 and 7. Fold up. Use tear & tape to secure. Fold down. Done. That easy, really!

I added a bit of dimension for a little pizzaz!

These are super quick and easy to make a bunch and have in your stash! Use the snowman cut out for another card too!

So, what do you think? I’d love to read your comments!

And, I’d love for you to take time out for your crafty self – just a little – and join us at Create with Connie and Mary this week! You won’t regret it!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Jar of Love
Card Stock – Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Whisper White

Thursday challenge with Create with Connie and Mary today.

We have a beautiful set of colors to challenge you with –

What do you think? I loved them looking at the swatch.

But, when you pull the inks and the card stock out – WOW! Just lovely!

I came up with this –

I was in love with making this pattern background. Sooo nice! And these colors work just perfect.

I didn’t want to block it!

I decided to go with these hearts to be minimal in my design. Something different.

You should see what my other team members did with these colors at Create with Connie and Mary. So many lovely cards! And, why not join us in creating something yourself and sharing it with us!?!?

Who’s Counting, 80 Birthdays

July 25, 2016 · 2 Comments

Quick post today.

Yep, as the title implies 80 birthdays. Well, who might be having these 80 birthdays you ask?

Well, this lady –

My mother!

And, I made her a card of course to celebrate these 80 birthdays –

Something rather simple, but elegant.

It has lots of dimension as you can see. All the layers are popped up.

I used the retired Brushed Gold card stock for the one layer. The 8 0 is in the Gold Foil we currently have. I wanted that to be the focal point here.
