Here is our latest two-week challenge –

I like these duo challenges!

I went with an older favorite Designer Series Paper that returned from last year, Toile Tidings –

I combined it with the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set.

Wrapped In Christmas is all words and probably has the perfect ones you are looking for! I am hoping this is the last Christmas stamp set I buy this year!

See what a nice set it is? I already have a few cards in mind using it.

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on our blog.

Toile Tidings Christmas Cheer

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest layout challenge –

We will have this challenge up for two weeks because of Christmas.

I went with a simple, lovely Christmas card –

My base card is Very Vanilla, layered with an exact sized piece of the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper on top.

I found a scene I liked in another one of the patterns of paper in the pack and used one of the Layering Squares Dies to cut it out.

It is framed or bordered in Garden Green using the same dies.

The sentiment is from the Tidings All Around stamp set.

Simply lovely!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Holly Jolly Christmas

December 7, 2019 · 4 Comments

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

Our theme this week features a card with boughs, wreaths or evergreens.

Of course, the All-Around Wreath Dies are just the thing –

I started with the Gold Foil Edged Cards and layered Real Red, them the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper.

The wreath is two, each folded in half giving a fuller looking wreath.

The Merry Christmas sentiment comes in the form of a sentiment here from the Very Vanilla / Copper 1/2″ Classic Weave Ribbon. I did cut it up a bit to create these words like this. It was not tied. Glue dots holds everything in place.

Quite festive? I love it! I hope you do as well.

See what the other designers are up to. Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Christmas Treat or Favor

November 16, 2019 · Leave a Comment

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

Our theme this week features a Christmas Treat or Favor.

I have an adorable sliding treat –

When you slid the ribbon up, it contains one of those brownies / cake mix you put in a mug and microwave!

And, you can see the added wooden spoon! Isn’t this just too cute??

Easy too! Directions –

Real Red card stock, 4 1/4 x 9 1/2 (make 2 at one, 8 1/2 x 9 1/2)
scored it at 4 1/2 and 9
used Tear & Tape on the 1/2 narrow strip
fold over twice on score lines
fold over 1/2 strip and adhere to middle section creating a sleeve
decorate front of treat holder as you like
punch hole in center near the top opening with a 1/4 diameter circle punch to run ribbon through
cut about 1 1/2 foot of ribbon
place ribbon through both holes evenly
open treat holder slightly, insert cake / brownie mix on top of ribbon, push down and tie bow
insert spoon
done!

Aren’t these just the cutest? I whipped up several in no time!

This Cup of Christmas bundle is the PERFECT set for this treat holder. It is like it was made for it or something!

(Please note : I found the brownie / cake mix at my local grocery store. Spoons came from here.)

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

Great sketch to highlight this beautiful bird –

Right?

Using nontraditional colors is soo nice for this Christmas card. I started with the Toile Christmas suite, stamps, dies, and Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the bird in Night of Navy and die cut it. I used a Daffodil Delight Blends for the beak.

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red and also die cut it.

The pattern paper is from the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper.

The addition of the Vellum card stock softened the Night of Navy card base. It turned out really pretty!

What do you think?
