Merry Christmas Thinlits

12 Days of Gift Card Holders – Last Day

December 23, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Christmas will be here in two days.

Many of us are already celebrating with friends and family.

Have I have helped you to create last minute gift cards and take away the stress? I hope so. That has ben my goal.

Today is the last share.

I took one of Striped Treat Bags to create this.

It is quite simple, only scoring the bag at 3 1/2 and folding it over. I sealed it together with Tear & Tape so that we use only one pocket. Sealing the edges only, you would have retained both pockets.

The inside slide out is 4 1/2 x 3 1/4. I used the Black Foil for the Circle Tab and the sentiment cut out.

The front is simple designed using the Merry Christmas to All Bundle.

This can be easily designed with whatever products you have!

Happy Halloween Bulbs

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

Halloween colors, of course!

And, I made another Halloween card as well!

Isn’t this adorable??

I used a little of this and that to put this together.

The strips of pattern paper are from the Designer Series Paper, Toil & Trouble, from the Holiday Mini catalog. I was part of a larger sheet that I cut apart.

The light bulbs are stamped from the Making Everyday Bright and punched with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch.

Those were placed on top of one of the rectangle shaped Merry Christmas Thinlits. I used three on the card.

Quite simple done! And, now I can mail this! Just who will be the lucky recipient??

Check out the other Design Team cards at Create with Connie and Mary. Some nice cards to share with you!

You can even use the colors and show off your creations on our Facebook page. We’d love to see them!

Spooky Halloween Card – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

October 13, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to the weekly, Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a Spooky Halloween Card!

Halloween is such a fun holiday to create for! An even better holiday to send out cards – it’s unexpected!

I created a card using the Winter Woods stamp set agin!

Doesn’t it make a striking, spooky background??

As I stamped the lined background, I alternated the stamp back and forth to create the pattern. After I stamped the panel, I colored the trees with a Basic Grey marker.

The Happy sentiment is die cut from the Merry Christmas Thinlits.

The HALLOWEEN is masked and stamped from Spooky Sweets stamp set. I punched it with the Classic Label punch.

I added the bats last from the Spooky Bats Punch. The Mini Dimensionals work perfectly to pop them up!

Wouldn’t you agree that this is spooky?

Check out the spookiness from Debbie Henderson and back, to Mary Brown. I know their designs will be great too!

Happy. . . . Christmas in August

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

Neat. Simple. Clean. Just my style!

I pulled out my pre-order items from Stampin’ Up to create this –

I started with an exclusive Designer Series Paper, Dashing Along, available the month of September to hostesses. It’s lovely paper in traditional colors and patterns. You get a generous amount of sheets, perfect for card making and sending!

The embossed panel is a new folder called Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions embossing folder. It will be available September 5. It’s very, very pretty. It will be great for non-Christmas cards too!

The gold foiled sentiment, Happy, is a new set of word thinlits that will also be available September 5. I just LOVE these. Other words include, Merry, Holidays, and Christmas.

I think this would be a great mass-produced card for the holidays! Easy and elegant too!

If you like to know more about new holiday products, please contact me. I can get you a catalog so you’ll be ready to order on September 5!

The other Design Team members at Create with Connie and Mary have created some wonderful cards with this sketch as well.

We hope to inspire you! If so, share your create on our Facebook page! We’d love to see you there!
