Hi Bunny

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

This is simply the sweetest bunny punch –

Well, Easter Bunny Punch. So cute, right? I punched him and placed him on something a little different, a circle from the Beautiful Hapes Dies. It has some nice embossed lines.

This nice paper is from the Country Floral Lane pack. This shows one piece, both sides.

Since we are a ways aways from Easter, I used the ‘Hi’ sentiment. I’ll use this card for Easter, I am sure of it. I’ll just change the sentiment.

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!

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!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color / layout challenge –

I’m in the middle of making Valentine cards and these colors are perfect for a twist on a classic –

Such a sweet card, right? It’s all because of the Alphabet a la Mode Dies! They are the best!

The letters fit perfectly on punched Rectangle Postage Stamp pieces covered in Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. Soo cute!

The sentiment is from the Country Bouquet Stamp set. It looks like an arrow with both ends punched with the Banners Pick A Punch. Such a great versatile punch for various widths of strips!

I’ll be making a few more of these great cards! How about you?

It is the last one, Dandy Designs that is probably a favorite of mine! I paired it with my favorite new stamp set too –

The Lucky Clover bundle is new and fresh! And, not all the words are for St. Patrick’s Day either.

The card really speaks for itself.

This is a great go-to layout for me. I let the pattern paper do all the work!

I debated about adding more clovers, this was just enough! The touch of the bow in gold from the elegant trim was just enough!

This Designer Series Paper is free with a $100 USD, which may see like a lot, however, this paper has 48 12″ x 12″ sheets. You get a huge pack of paper! Huge!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Happy new catalog day!

And, welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge! First one of 2023!

Here is our first color challenge for the year –

Love these colors, don’t you? Here is how I used them –

With new products from the January – June Mini Catalog! I started with this Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, adding the focal point.

For the focal point, I used the Country Bouquet Bundle, stamp set and punch. Look closely and you can see the detailing on the strip behind the two hearts. This is a new banner punch called Happy Labels Pick A Punch.

All wonderful products this time around!

Hi Bunny

January 4, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Hello my Stampin’ friends!

Today is the last day to order from the retiring July – December Mini Catalog. So much of it is marked down to clear it out! You should probably take one last look!

For the past few days, I have been showing old stuff with new stuff. Today is my last day of this combination. Today, with these sweet bunny cards –

I love a great layout where I can make multiple cards and use up paper. I am featuring the Gingham Cottage one last time. Did I tell you it’s only $18.00 for 48, 12″ x 12″ sheets?!?!

I started with a rectangle, then cut that into three pieces, trimming one a bit. I arranged them in the same layout on a piece of Basic White card stock.

I paired the pastel cards with the new Easter Bunny Bundle, stamp set and punch.

I did a simple solid punch, placing the bunnies on a vellum. I used the sentiment ‘Hi’ from the set to mail out now. This can easily be changed to the Happy Easter sentiment in the set.

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!

Hello my Stampin’ friends!

I am finally taking a bit of time to play with some new, and soon-to-retire, stamp stuff!

I am feeling lucky today –

As you can see, I am using the Gingham Cottage Designer Series paper again. This time, I also used the soon-to-retire Scary Silhouette Dies.

The new products I paired these items is the new Lucky Clover Bundle, which contains is a stamp set and coordinating punch. I am really glad to see this. We have needed this ‘lucky’ for a long while!

I used the Stamparatus to get a great solid stamped image on these clovers. Since it was out, I also used it on the sentiment as well! Do you have a Stampartatus? I use it more and more these days!

Stay tuned tomorrow to see how I use the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper again!

Remember, it is 48 double sided sheets of Designer Series Paper on sale for $18! And, the Scary Silhouette Dies are on sale for $14.40!

January 1, 2023 · 8 Comments

Happy New Year my Stampin’ Friends!

I am spending a little time sharing some card ideas with some old friends today! What a great way to start the new year!

Our theme today features something old (from the retiring mini catalog), with something new (from the new upcoming January – June mini catalog).

I started with this wonderful, must have, Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper that is on sale for $18.00 (was $30)!!! After, January 4, it will no longer be available. Order yours today!

For a little added detail, I used the Stitched with Whimsy Dies around the edge. It takes the card up a notch.

I paired it with the new Country Bouquet Bundle, stamp set and punch. I am always drawn to punches.

Simply a lovely card to show your friends some love!

This card features several popular items from the soon-to-retire July to December Mini Catalog. The stamped image is from the Handmade Wishes stamp set. Luckily, the Handmade Tag Punch iss a carryover item!

The background uses the sold out Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper. Such a great paper!

The ribbon Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon was perfect to add behind the sentiment. Both that, and the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins tie in the embossed gold on the paper.

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 year, lol!

From Our Home To Yours

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.

Welcome stampers!

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

Our holiday theme today will be a country Christmas!

The card was busy with both Designer Paper Patterns. I felt the wreath

Remember & Cherish

December 8, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current layout challenge –

I am playing with one of my favorite Designer Series Papers a few more times before it is gone for good –

This is the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. I used as many of the patterns as I could!

The colors are soo reminiscent of Christmas for me, reds and greens.

The sentiment is simple, but meaningful. Christmas To Remember has lots of great sentiments for cards, outside, and inside. It can be found in the large catalog and is available until May.

Santa Express 12 Days of Christmas Day 12

December 5, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Hello Stampers!

Didn’t I have a treat for you for the past 12 days!?!!? Did you see them all??

I have taken both the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and the Santa Express Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and created 12 different simple fun fold cards, mini boxes, treat bags, and other items using almost only these items with minimal additional supplies!

Get ready for the last day of my creativity with this wonderful project!

Day 12 –

Isn’t this the sweetest??

This has become our new tradition! So, of course, I had to frame it crafty style! What better way than to use the M & M Cards!?!?!?!

For the front, I used half of a M & M Card & Envelope card. One large polka dot card, and one small card. The size of the picture allowed for the scallops on the small card to be shown around the photo which was really a perfect addition.

The frame is use one of the M & M Cards & Envelopes. The easel, uses one, plus a scrap. You can see the easel here –

Back of the picture frame view –

Really simple, effective design here.

I would love to read your feedback on these 12 adorably simple projects using the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and the Santa Express Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.

Have a wonderfully, creative holiday!

Please go back and look at all the previous days too!
