Let’s Get Sketchy with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Welcome stampers!

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

Our theme this week features a sketch and how we use it! I found this sketch and immediately thought of the Simply Zinnia Bundle.

I also love a good black and white card and haven’t created one of those in a while!

I combined two unlikely choices, the new Online Exclusive bundle, Simply Zinnia, with the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper from the main catalog. This is so fun and playful!

Initially, I wasn’t sure if I’d want to use a white or black flower so I made both. In the end, I liked them both!

Although I went with a thank you card, this would have been great as a birthday card too!

What do you think of this unlikely pairing?

My inspiration sketch came from Julie Davison.

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 with more great inspirations in card making!

Welcome stampers!

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

Our theme this week is CASing our own designer, Melissa Davies!

It didn’t take me long to settle on this sweet number to CAS –

I thought this would be a perfect card to try out the Merry & Bright Bundle with these fun colors!

What do you think about this –

It is too cute, isn’t it!?!? These lights are just soo cute! So customizable too.

I used the Adhesive Sheets for the filaments inside the light bulbs – these are a lifesaver!

I went with the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper for the bottom pattern. It is fun and playful like the card itself!

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 with more great inspirations in card making!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

For the next month of challenges, we are CASEing the new catalog. These are always fun challenges as we get to use what we want from the inspiration card. This starts off the challenge –

I was inspired by the layout, stripes, and fruit –

Pretty sweet, huh?

This card is fun and playful! The Cherry Builder Punch is great to make quick work of whipping up a card. I added a ‘bite’ by using the scallop oval from the Double Oval punch.

Just look when the card is opened –

The SWEET pops up!

The black and white sides of the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper really contrast well with the Real Red card stock. Some of my favorite colors together, red, white, and black!

Don’t you just love this?

Little Black Dress with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Welcome stampers!

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

Our theme this week features cards that are only black and white, my favorite!

I have a sweet Fun Fold card to kick off my birthday month with –

I used the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper, Darling Details bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies, and the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Just a few basic supplies.

As I mentioned before this is a Fun Fold card . . . . .

. . . . . . . but, we are not through opening it.

Yes! Isn’t this just the sweetest birthday card????

Hello there Happy Birthday Friend

This gem will fit into a regular envelope too as it is a 4″ x 5 1/2″ sized card.

Tips : The die cut flowers were adhered only on the flower stems and flower centers so they’d pop out a bit. The flower centers on the Designer Series Paper were colored in using a black Sharpie (because it was on the table next to this project).

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 with more great inspirations in card making!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

This week we have a layout challenge –

I was inspired to create a card that would be perfect for a recital or performance – it’s about that time of the year, again!

Don’t you just love these sweet colors together?

Highland Heather

Lemon Lolly

Bubble Bath

I made a template for this card first to get all my sizes right and the angle looking correct. Then started plugging in the elements in to create the finished card.

The punched cat was the first thing and the inspiration for the rest of the card! That’s right, this cutie is in the paper ready to use! I added card stock colors from the colors on the cat.

After adding the card stock pieces, I noticed that there needed to be some *pop* to the card. I embossed the background and added the curtains from the coordinating dies!

The flower centers were colored using a dark Stampin’ Blends. By doing that, I tied in the card base too!

What do you think? Super cute, right?

Check out how the Design Team used this layout our Create with Connie and Mary blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!
