Marigold Moments Bundle (English)

Favorite New Stamp Set with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

January 21, 2023 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

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

Since we just got a new catalog at the beginning of the month, our theme this week is favorite stamp set.

It was really hard to narrow it down, but, I am so drawn to the Marigold Moments Bundle!

Look how stunning –

I did tweak the design a bit creating an elegant vase of flowers instead of the traditional flowers and stems. I used the Stamparatus to stamp the flower bunch.

The vase? It is from the Share A Milkshake Dies! Pretty clever I’d say!

The background really sets this card off. You won’t regret purchasing the Organic Beauty Dies just for this die. I’ve used it soo much.

What are you favorite stamps from the new Mini catalog?

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!

Optional Theme : Winter Activities

Hot chocolate birthday parties are a winter activity, right?

This cute Yeti is ready to celebrate! I can see why – both the stamp set and dies are retiring in a few days are less than $20 for both! I stamped him on the Snowy White Velvet Paper for some added feel when touching the card.

For even more feels on the card, I usd the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder behind the yeti – soo cute!

If you’ve been following me for the past few days, this Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper is on sale too! I’ve been using in various cards to show just why it is a must grab before it goes away!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

I’m still playing with my favorite, Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper –

This is also a go-to layout of mine as well!

The sentiment placed on a die cut house added a little sweetness to the card. The die cut house is from the Gingerbread House Dies.

The Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon really shines behind the sentiment.

This wonderful sentiment is from the Framed & Festive Stamp Set. It is soo versatile, not just for Christmas!

This will be one of the cards I send out this year.

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I participated in QC Swappers swap for the July – December Mini catalog creating this bright, fun card –

Just a cheery as can be, right?

For starters, I used the Christmas Scottie bundle along with my Stamparatus to stamp a nice, clean, crisp black Scottie. I also used it to stamp the sentiment on this narrow strip.

The two bright prints are from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series paper. Yes, I’ve use it alot because this hostess pack is huge!

The assembled quite fast with everything being pre-cut!

The last detail was the little Rhinestone Basic Jewel for the tag on the collar! Added the ‘just right bling’ for this card!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

This Lovely Linen Designer Series Paper is perfect for this color challenge!

Of course, this Lovely & Lasting Bundle, stamp set and coordinating punch, is perfect as well! It is a wonderful all occasion set!

Notice how the stamped flower image just pops? After stamping it, I used the scalloped circle from the Give It A Whirls Dies to cut it out. It is larger than any of the other circles Stampin’ Up has.

This card is fresh, fun and simply lovely! Quick too!

May 28, 2022 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

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

Our theme this week features one new In Colors and two classic colors.

I chose the new In Color ink, Sweet Sorbet, along with Crumb Cake and Night of Navy –

This lovely focal point is the beautiful Bouquet of Thanks stamp set.

I, once again, changed up the ‘thank you’ sentiment banner. I managed to block out the words to stamp the sentiment. This time changing the words to Love & Big Hugs from the Sending Smiles stamp set.

The stamped flowers are framed here with the Fabulous Frames Dies. It has some nice detailing all the way around.

This card is fitting for the current event of the week. As most know, I am from Texas and we are coping with the tragedy in Uvalde that occured on Tuesday.

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 color challenge –

I bought this new full stamp, Bouquet of Thanks, and have been itching to use it. So here goes –

It is a very pretty, larger, detailed image. I used the Stamparatus to get an evenly stamped image. It really is a must have with any stamps, especially these larger, detailed ones.

I used Memento Black on Very Vanilla for the entire image. I placed a piece of Sahara Sand where the ribbon and sentiment were and stamped those. I hand cut around it for a little pop of color on the flower image. And, yes, I used the Stamparatus for this as well.

The colors are lovely together. Almost a rustic feel to them. To further that rustic feel, I thought these Deckled Rectangles Dies were the perfect look for this card! And, also favorite new product of mine!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide

May 14, 2022 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

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

Our theme this week features the new In Color combination of Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide!

I decided on a nice spring-time card –

So pretty, right?!?! I am in love with this lattice die cut from the Organic Beauty Dies. It is so clean!

I love how theses flowers stamp. Such a nice cluster!

I used the Stampratus to stamp the two images to get a nice, cleanly stamped image. Tip : using the Stamparatus, stamp the flower cluster first, then lay the leaves on top to get a great alignment, then pick up the stamp with your Stamparatus plate and stamp using ink.

The sentiment was also from the same stamp set. I used the Stylish Shapes to die cut it after stamping. This, is a must have set of dies!

This card is fresh and fun with the new colors and stamps!

I wonder what everyone else has created with these colors? 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!

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

Our theme this week features card that are only black and white.

Creating black and white cards are a favorite of mine, however being it was the challenge for this week, I all of a sudden was stumped!

Allin all, this turned out pretty gorgeous!

I used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle (currently on sale) to cut out the beautiful detailed sunflower outline.

The detailed center is actually a piece of All Together Designer Series Paper. It really resembles a flower center! The rest of the card also uses others patterns from the same pack!

To get a nice, crisp, clean stamped sentiment, I used thee Stamparatus.

The inside has a piece of Basic White and also some Designer Series Paper to ties everything together!

February 19, 2022 · 3 Comments

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

Our theme this week features images on cards that you can color! Stampin’ Up has a lot!

For me, the Blessings of Home stamp set is perfect for this type of card –

Am I right?!?! So pretty!!

I stamped the flower image in Night of Navy first.

I then colored it with a couple of Stampin’ Blends, Petal Pink and Mint Macaron and outlined in the Lightest Mint Macaron Blends after being die cut.

It is simple, elegant, and just soo pretty! And this bow – perfect!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

Naturally, I went with something for the New Year!

And, I made a slim line card using new products! These are the new Slim Card Dies!

I cut three out in Basic Black, Silver Foil (a recent Clearance Rack find), and Basic White. I filled in the area with the alternating colors and have the remaining pieces to complete two more!

The sentiment came from the retiring Heartfelt Wishes. I used the Stamparatus and only inked up part of this sentiment creating this. I love it! It turned out just the way I envisioned.

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

My favorite colors for Christmas are bright red and two shades of green.

Here is what I came up with using Stampin’ Up products –

A great card for a great friend during the holidays!

This paper perfectly shows off my choice of holiday colors!

I stamped the sentiment on one of the lighter patterns on the pack of paper. The Stamparatus helped to stamp a nice, clear crisp image.

I am planning on making a few more of these for my supportive friends that have kept me going these past few months!

I’ll start slowly with getting back into crafting as 2021 is winding down.

Let’s begin with a Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our new layout challenge I’m joining in on!

As always, a nice clean challenge.

Since birthdays fall in December too, how about this –

A sweet feminine card perfect for this time of the year!

Welcome Wednesday my stampin friends!

On Wednesdays we have a new challenge at Make The Cards Challenge! Here is our newest inspiration to get you creating –

Perfect time for a sweet Halloween card –

Pretty funny, huh? I don’t have any Stampin’ Up witch stamps this year, so I created one from one of the skeletons in the Cute halloween Designer Series Paper –

I improvised and colors the face with a Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green. I also added a witch hat to create her.

The hat came from the Clever Cats stamp set –

To get a perfectly stamped image, I used the Stamparatus to stamp it. Yes, it was fussy cut!

This simple sentiment that says it all is from the Little Delights stamp set. It’s awesome because it can be used for a variety of fall occasions!

Welcome Monday!

How about a new challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to start your week off creativity!?!?

I went with a Christmas card for this challenge –

I used the Words Of Cheer bundle –

I stamped the focal point image using the Stamparatus to get a nice eevenly stamped image. I used a combination of stamps and Stampin’ Blends to color the floral image. Then I did the unthinkable – I cut the image in half to space it apart for the sentiment. If not, it would have covered most of it up!

See what I mean?

Such a pretty card! I love these colors together! They are soo pretty!

Hello Friday!

It’s the first of the month and you know what that means! Blog Hop time!

Our theme this month is anything fall!

I went with Halloween as it is just around the corner!

Lol! Isn’t this sentiment stamp THE best!?!?! It is SO true if you think about it! Lol!

Here are the rest of the fabulous words in this Well Defined set –

I used the Stamparatus to stamp a nice, clean image!

Now this fun candy paper? It is the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper –

Since the pattern was all black and white, I used Stampin’ Blends to color it in!

This paper also has a sweet coordinating punch for it, the Halloween Punch –

I used it to cut out the Ghost, Cat, and Pumpkin. Soo cute! And, nice I didn’t have to stamp and color them!

The Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins were last detail I added to this sweet card! It was just what it needed!

I’d love to read what you think of this cute card before heading to Tricia’s Stamping Creations!

Wishing You The Happiest Of Birthdays

September 30, 2021 · 2 Comments

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Today is sadly, the last day for Sale-a-bration and all the perks that go along with it!

And, it is also our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

Here is my bold take on the challenge –

I combined a favorite stamp of mine, the Happiest of Birthdays –

….with the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Delicate Dahlias –

This color combination is just great together! My added color is Soft Succulent.

To get this sentiment image stamped so nicely, I did use the Stamparatus. Although, this stamp works pretty well. The Stamparatus is just an extra assurance the image will come out nicely!

To see all this Delicate Dahlias stamp set from Sale-a-bration, and all the other great options, click here, or the image –
