Last day of March already? Yikes!

Spending some time with retiring products before they are no longer available!

These three dies sets are retiring and are a must have. The Layering Squares, Layering Ovals, and the Stitched Shapes Dies –

Layering Squares

Layering Ovals

Stitched Shapes Dies

Now to my creation to show off what I’ve been playing with –

The end of the school year, however you know it these days, is coming to an end soon. Don’t forget to show them appreciation!

For my teacher card, I was inspired by CAS-ing Tuesday –

I used the retiring, and on sale for $7.00, Apple Builder Punch* for my focal point.

I stamped the apple and the sentiment using the matching Harvest Hellos*, which is also retiring.

This lovely plaid background is from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper pack. It is so perfect for this card!

To finish off the edge of the Daffodil Delight strip, I used the Banner Triple Punch*, which is also, sadly retiring! And, on sale for $18.40!!!!

I am sure your list is growing of retired products on your must have list! Purchase them soon, rather than later as items are selling out and not guaranteed past today.

And, don’t forget those teachers in your life!

What an exciting week it’s been!

The excitement just continues today with Create with Connie and Mary! Of course, it’s another challenge!

What great colors to work with this week!

I played with different options using the colors before deciding on this –

I love how this sweet Christmas card turned out!

Once I decided on the elements I was going to use, I then added a few tweaks.

First, the additional wreath element using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. Pearls added just the right amount of something the wreath needed.

Embossing the flagged banner behind the wreath gave it a little interest being behind the wreath.

The sentiment in Sweet Sugarplum tied in the bow.

It’s just a sweet card!

The others on the Create with Connie and Mary design team came up with some really pretty cards too. Check them out and come play with us!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Christmas Pines
Dies – Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, Wonderful Wreath Framelits, Pretty Pines Thinlits
Card Stock – Whisper White, Pool Party, Pear Pizzaz
Punches – Triple Banner
Ink – Sweet Sugar Plum
Other – Festive EF, Pearl Basic Jewels,

Happy Stampin’

It’s Thursday! Time for another fabulous layout from Create with Connie and Mary!

Isn’t this fun?

Since I create cards very streamline, these sort of freestyle designs are always a real challenge for me. And, of course, I wanted to play around with the Thoughtful Branches bundle some more.

So, how to combine these two???

Like this –

And, I love it!!!

I cut the ‘tree top’ from the set in Pumpkin Pie and the ‘trunk’ in Early Espresso at the same time. I adhered the tree top, aka, pumpkin, to another piece of Pumpkin Pie and simply cut around it. Because no pumpkin is perfect – my cutting didn’t have to be either!

The leaves and the sentiment are from the same bundle too!

The DSP is one of those nifty 6×6 pads!

I hope I have inspired you with this card to use your dies/framelits maybe not quite how they were intended to be used! It’s always fun to see items in a different way!

You should see what the other design team members created too! Create with Connie and Mary would love for you to share what you have done with the sketch as well!

I’d love to hear from you!

Supplies used –

Stamp Set – Thoughtful Branches (LE)
Card Stock – Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso
Ink – Early Espresso
DSP – Serene Scenery DSP Stack
Punches – Triple Banner Punch
Big Shot – Beautiful Branches (LE)
Other – Pearl Basic Jewels

It’s time for some stampin’ inspiration from Create with Connie and Mary. After all, it is Thursday!

This week, we have a sketch to inspire you –

This is fun and interesting!

I pulled out a new hostess set for this one –

Aren’t these little hedgehogs the cutest?

I stamped them onto Crumb Cake and cut them out. The dimensionals really makes them stand out. Sometimes thats all you need.

I made two little banners and flagged the ends with the Triple Banner Punch. I also used it on the DSP flags too.

It’s just a cute card that’d make anyone smile and feel special.

And, oh, the little hearts are from the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits.

I’d love to hear what you think of these sweet little hedgehogs! And then head over to Create with Connie and Mary to see what else inspires you!

Stamps – Love You Lots
DSP – Playful Palette
Dies – Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits
Punches – Triple Banner
Card Stock – Very Vanilla, Flirty Flamingo, Crumb Cake
Ink – Tuxedo Black Memento

Quick share today. I’m in the midst of purging for my Open House.

I made this cute little 2, 4, 6, 8 bag using some new DSP and the Banner Punch –

This Banner Punch is a must have on the new accessories list. It cuts 3 sizes. But, get to know how to use it and you can cut whatever width you’d like!

The back of my bag was simple –
