Hello my Thursday friends!

Welcome to another terrific sketch from Create with Connie and Mary!

This week, we have a layout sketch to inspire your creativity –

Nice layout to create an Easter card just in time to be mailed out for Easter!

I started with my stamped egg, then I stamped the dots to resemble speckles on the egg.

I used the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series paper for this card. These are the reverse of the shiny pages in the pack. Nice and subtle for this card!

It all came together nicely following the sketch! Off to create a few more to mail out!

The other Design Team members created some beautiful cards this week. Check them out on our blog. We hope to inspire you! Link up those inspiration cards on our Facebook page!

  • Stamp Set – Hello Easter, Eclectic Expression (speckles on the egg)
  • Card Stock – Pear Pizzaz, Whisper White, Calypso Coral

Happy Stampin’

WOOHOO!!! It’s a party!

Create with Connie and Mary are celebrating their 500th Thursday Challenge!

Can you believe it? When we started, we hardly believed that we would still be doing these challenges every week many years later!

And…how can we CELEBRATE?

How about some BLOG CANDY!!!

Have you tried our Create with Connie and Mary Collections yet? We have a few PDF tutorials that we will be giving away…your choice! You’ll need to leave a comment HERE (on our blog) in order to get a chance to win!

Want a SECOND CHANCE to win? Create a “party theme” card to help us celebrate and add it to our LinkedIn catalog on our Create with Connie and Mary blog (yes, it’s back!). We will choose another winner to get a FREE tutorial from those creations! Winners will be announced on Thursday, March 8th!

Here is the sketch to design by using the theme of ‘party’ –

Here is my card for some inspiration –

Definitely got the party theme going here! This party has no stamping as I used the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit for the cake and the numbers!

The Designer Series Paper is also a coordinating product, the Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP. This card came together soo quick! I added the framelit cut ‘celebrate’ in Silver Foil which, bonus, is a Sale-a-bration freebie!

So. Pull out your craft stuff and create a card for our 500th Challenge! Remember, there will be blog candy! Link up your cards on our Create with Connie and Mary blog this week. Looking forward to seeing you there!

  • Stamp Set – none!
  • Framelits – Celebrate You (Sale-a-Bration item)
  • Card Stock – Pear Pizzaz, Silver Foil
  • Ink – none!
  • DSP – Sweet Soiree Specialty
  • Other – Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit
Happy Stampin’
