Easter Cards Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

March 18, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is Easter Cards! Easter too, will be here before we know it!

I designed a playful pair –

These are just too cute! I love how the paper does all the work for me. Almost, everything is from the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Even the detailed bunny! That’s my favorite. The shirt is embossed and shiny!

The sentiment would be the exception. It’s from the Easter Bunny stamp set. On the ends, I used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch.

I loved this card soo much – I decided to feature it on my monthly Card Buffet! I am sure it will be a hit!

Want to see more Easter ideas? Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week!

Happy Easter

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

I decided to make an Easter card and use every possible die I could for this sweet card –

Well, only four dies, but still!!!

I used the following : Radiating Stitches (new, border around the card), All That Dies (egg shapes), Full Basket Dies (basket), and Country Wreaths (bow),

I wanted to use the new, Radiating Stitches and I went from there! And, I wanted to create an Easter card.

Check out the other Design Team cards on our Create with Connie and Mary blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

Our theme this week is GREEN cards!

I created a partially green card today –

And, no, no green beer! Lol!

I let the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper do a lot of the work for me. Well, maybe. This Brewed For You Bundle really stands out. It always is a great masculine go-to for me!

What do you think? Would you send this out for your masculine birthdays?

We’ve got lots of great green cards to show off today! Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great green ideas for us!

Wild Birthday Wishes

March 9, 2023 · 2 Comments

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I think I got a little wild with this one –

Lol, right??

I am not sure what I love more here, the shiny Like An Animal Designer Series Paper or Alphabet A la Mode word, ‘W I L D’. I first cut one of the shapes from the Something Fancy Dies before cutting the word out freely.

The all caps birthday wishes is pretty sweet as well! It is from the Sending Smiles stamp set.

The colors add a nice *pop* of color making this card great for guy or gal!

What do you think? Would you send this wild card?

I paired it with the Lucky Clover stamp set as it is perfect for the theme of St. Patrick’s Day!

Simply a fun, playful card!

Ombre Cards with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

March 4, 2023 · 1 Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is Ombre Cards.

I wanted to play with the new Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, as lots of the patterns have an ombre look to them. These items are only available online, as they are online exclusive products.

The two panels, the flower, and the circle are all from the same pack of paper! I was thrilled that the 2″ Circle Punch has returned! I pulled it out and used it here!

These colors created a soft, feminine, lovely card!

Admittedly, I was stumped on this card and needed some direction. I looked up Freshly Made Sketches to help me out with the layout.

Pretty good choice, I’d say as this is a great layout!

What do you think?

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

We will see you next week!

Just Thinking of You Today

March 2, 2023 · 1 Comment

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

Some wonderful colors for . . . . . . tulips!

Wouldn’t you agree?? This Flowering Tulips and Tulip Dies is still current! And still just as lovely as can be!

After stamping the sentiment, I used the Something Fancy Dies to cut it out. It was out on my desk and worked perfectly! Do you ever do that? Use what is on hand or in front of you?

As I stamped the stems and leaves to the left of the layer, the ribbon helped to fill in the space to the right!

Have I inspired you to pull out your Tulips and play with them?

March Online Exclusives Blog Hop

March 1, 2023 · 7 Comments

Happy March 1st!

Did you see the new online only products Stampin’ Up is now offering?

We decided to get together and show off a few items we could preorder.

I love the playfulness of the Irresistible Blooms bundle.

I was curious how it would look in these alternate colors –

Daffodil Delight and Basic Black, just a classic combination.

I also went a little daring by stamping directly on the card. Confession. The sentiment was stamped rather light at first. I was not using the Stamparatus, but decided to try a second freehand stamp on top of the light one. Well, not too bad I’d say. Just a tad double.

I am looking forward to playing more with this stamp and the coordinating paper that is available.

I’ll take a cue from the fabulous ideas I get today!

Stencils with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

February 25, 2023 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thanks for joining our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features stencils!

Since I didn’t have any current stencils, I created my own from a repeated die cut shape from the Something Fancy Dies. Since it is a small stencil, Sponge Daubers are the plan!

Here is the progress so far –

And, the lovely finished card front –

But wait. There is more –

It’s an Easel Fun Fold! Featuring the Tulip Builder Punch as a stop! This is just as sweet as can be!

I loved the challenge for this as I didn’t have any stencils. But, you can totally make your own!

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

We will see you next week!

Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop

February 24, 2023 · 10 Comments

Happy Friday my Stampin’ friends!

Time to play with an adorable new Paper Pumpkin kit called Sunshine & Smiles!

Here is what the kit looks like –

If you make the kit as shown, you’ll create adorable window cards! Of course, the idea of this blog hop is to create alternatives.

I made little Easter treats –

These are SO cute!

They are little 3D holders for chocolates!

I only added a Basic White base and a die cut from the Something Fancy Dies for these holders.

The rest of the supplies were all in the kit!

I took the card bases and cut them off, then cut them in half for each of these. I added the platform base so the chocolate would stand inside.

Pretty cute, right? I look forward to making more of these!

Check out the others on the hop today! You’ll get more great ideas for your adorable kit!

The Good You Do

February 23, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I decided to show off the Flowers & More Designer Series Paper for a bright, cheery card –

So great, right?! I am just loving all these wonderful patterns in this pack.

I paired this with a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set. Although, there are wonderful coordinating dies for this stamp, the Essential Tag punch I got free for Sale-a-bration worked wonderful too!

Plaid Tidings with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

February 18, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thanks for joining our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features plaids!

I created a grouping of Easter cards –

This plaid pattern from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper was perfect for this theme!

And, yes, I did it again. Another card grouping, this time using my 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder.

Aren’t these the cutest cards?

They all use the same components starting with the Easter Bunny Punch.

This easter sentiment is from Celebrating You. It has lots of great sentiments for all occasions. The Double Oval Punch fits it wonderfully!

The Silver 3/8″ Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon to the side is nice because as it covers the feet on the bunny and coordinates with the grey from the sentiment.

The strip of Basic White on each card is embossed with a new embossing folder that will be available March 1 online only.

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

We will see you next week!

Some pretty spring colors to start some Easter cards!

Did you get these Country Wreath Dies back in the fall? Well, they are still available and are perfect for Easter!

I created this wreath and placed it on some of the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper for a light, springy look.

I stamped Happy Easter from the Easter Bunny stamp set, using the Banners Pick A Punch for the flagged edges.

Lastly, some Pastel Pearls add a little sweetness around the wreath.

What do you think? Easter worthy?

Non-Traditional Valentine with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

February 11, 2023 · 7 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thanks for joining our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is a non-traditional Valentine.

I have a silly, non-traditional Valentine to share today –

I needed a bunch, no pun intended, of cards to send out to my friends. So I found another one of these stack, cut, shuffle ideas. It is soo cute with these Sale-a-bration supplies!

Here, I used the Day At The Farm Designer Series Paper as my base and added another Sale-a-bration goody, Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

I hadn’t used this Jar Punch in forever! Perfect time to dust it off for this card. These carrot hearts are just the cutest!

Here are three of the numerous cards I am sending out for Valentine’s Day. Theey will be well received I think!

I am curious what the other will show for our non-traditional Valentine card, aren’t you? Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for us!

We will see you next week!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

Here is how I styled this card –

Simple. Beautiful.

The paper and sentiment are a great combination here. They do all the work!

I love the addition of the small Gold Foil strips behind the sentiment and the gold Sharpie colored Heart Pearls. These have been my favorite go-to embellishment these days.

Check out the other Design Team cards on our Create with Connie and Mary blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

To My Valentine

February 7, 2023 · 1 Comment

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

Optional Theme : Valentine’s Day

And……it’s TSOT’s 12th anniversary, so we thought we would celebrate by giving away some small gifts to two of our wonderful followers chosen by random draw. Please share your creativity for chances to win in Challenge #593 before it closes on February 15th!

On to my card –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Key To My Heart Paper Pumpkin, Valentine's Day, Heart Pearls, Love, TSOT, Try Stampin' on Tuesday

Surprise! It’s a Fun Fold!

Isn’t this cool? I used the January 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit, Key To My Heart. I deconstructed one of the card bases to create this card.

For the purple strip, I stamped the greeting, To My Valentine, repeatedly down the side.

I just think it is soo pretty. And, pretty quick to make as well!

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.

Welcome stampers!

Thanks for joining our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Valentines for kids!

Kids love animals, right?

And interactive cards, too!

This is an Easel Card and the Love Cats stamp! Soo adorable together!

The addition of the two sentiments using the Heart Punch Pack tops the cake!

The mix of the strip of Designer Series Paper and the colored Heart Pearls is just sweet as can be for a Valentine.

What do you think? Would this be kiddo approved?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great ideas for kid Valentine cards!

We will see you next week!
