Well Written Framelits

Floral Essence Thank You

April 18, 2019 · 3 Comments

Welcome to a new Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge to inspire you –

What beautiful colors to pair with new products!

I recently attended a Stampin’ Up! regional event called OnStage. We got a chance to play with new products and even take some home!

I was able to take home the Floral Essence stamp set!

On this card, the Pineapple Punch flowers and the Granny Apple Green leaves are new images. I fussy cut the flowers.

But, notice how the leaves are nicely punched? The Leaf Punch coordinates with this stamp set! Yay! There is also another flower image in the set and a new punch that coordinates with it. You’ll love it!

The ‘thank you’ sentiment is from the Well Written framelit set that will be still available in the new catalog. It actually says ‘thanks’, but I cut the ‘s’ off to make it work here.

The only item that will be not longer available on this card is the Designer Series Paper used on the card.

Lovely Wedding Wishes

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Need some motivation to play with your stuff today? How about this new challenge –

Optional Theme : Embossing

Perfect inspiration to create this wedding wishes card –

First off, I haven’t played with this gorgeous Merry Merlot color much. and, why? It’s gorgeous!!!!

I created the embossed background by using White Craft ink on one side of the Country Floral embossing folder, laying the Basic Gray card stock on the other side and then running it through the Big Shot one time. The ink settles in the recessed area of the paper creating a beautiful effect.

(This embossing folder will be available in the upcoming annual Stampin’ Up! catalog if you did not get it during Sale-a-bration!)

I added a strip of Very Vanilla and two hearts from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. I placed them on the strip and trimmed them on the trimmer leaving a slight over hang in some areas.

The ‘love’ sentiment is from the Well Written framelits and sits atop a pretty label shape from the Stitched Labels Framelits. I cut two out, one in Very Vanilla and the other in Vellum to soften the Vanilla color.

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

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest sketch challenge to inspire you –

Optional Theme : Frames

I decided to go with a baby themed card as I needed one for my Card Buffet –

Adorable, right??

It uses the adorable mushroom pattern from the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper. (You can get a pack free with a $50 order through Stampin’ Up!. It’s a bonus item for you.)

I used the Well Said bundle to create this focal sentiment. This set is absolutely fabulous! The words, the framelits, the possibilities! All endless!

As Design Team members, we have all created different takes on the sketch using different brands of products to inspire you. Check them out on our blog, Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. Create your own take on the card and show it off on our blog, or our Facebook page.

Optional Theme : Flower Fun

I went with a simple Easter card. That to, will be here before we know it!

I used some new Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Painted Seasons as my flower inspiration.

I’ve been playing with new stuff and trying to get that creative energy back after the holidays!

I just absolutely love this Designer Series Paper in the new mini catalog, How Sweet It Is.

I ran across a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches –

…and it was a perfect combination for this –

Just adorable! And, no stamping! Wow! The sentiment is from another love of mine, the Well Written Thinlits.

The jar is from the Jar of Sweets Framelits that coordinate with the Designer Series Paper. Conveniently, one of the pattered sheets are different jars that go with the framelits! No stamping or coloring required! Although, there are stamps in the set that go with the jars! I liked the ease of cut, create and go here!

Looking forward to more cards with this adorable How Sweet It it, suite of products.

Create with Connie and Mary – Saturday Blog Hop – How Sweet It Is

January 5, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our first Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop of 2019!

Our themes for the next few weeks will feature love / musical themes. This week it will be How Sweet It Is.

I used the Hello Cupcake Sale-a-Bration stamp set again creating this beauty –

The card base is Real Red, with a layer of Flirty Flamingo, just for fun, and the Sale-a-Bration black and white Designer Series Paper, Botanical Butterfly.

Both cupcake parts were stamped and fussy cut. I added extra icing for this card. Those were all placed on a Stitched Shapes oval and one of the scalloped Layering Ovals

The ‘love’ come from the new, wonderful, Well Written Framelits. A favorite of mine! That was placed on one of the framelits in the Needlepoint Elements. It was scored to create some dimension.

I SO love this card and can not wait to send it out!

See ‘how sweet it is’ from Debbie Henderson and Mary Brown.

Hello first Thursday of 2019! Great time to share a new Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenges!

This is our layout challenge for the week –

I decided to play around with a new suite of products to create this –

Isn’t this a wonderful thank you card?

This card uses the Needlepoint Nook Suite. Here, I used the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper and the Needlepoint Elements Framelits for the lovely design in the oval.

The ‘thanks’ comes from the Well Written framelits.

What a sweet, ‘thanks’ card!
