Welcome back to Create With Connie & Mary! We have a color challenge today, which had me a little stumped, I have to admit! But when I finally came around to the thought of using Autumn Leaves, it all pulled together. I pulled out of my memory bank a technique…
Greetings from California! It’s a beautiful almost-fall day here. I imagine it is also very pretty with fall colors back in Pennsylvania where Rosanne lives. We are thinking all about autumn this month and have created autumnal cards for you. She suggested that we highlight a large sentiment for CASEing…
Today is New Catalog Day! We’ve been building up to our new Fall & Winter Mini Catalog for a few weeks now, and hopefully you have saved some of your favorite samples that you’ve seen. Today is the day you can purchase the items you need to make those favorites!…
I’m shakin’ it up on Saturday with a mix of stamping products! While I primarily share Stampin’ Up!, I couldn’t resist showing you this marriage of Stampin’ Up! DSP with Newton’s Nook Harvest Haul Stamp Set. The truck image driving down the autumn road brings me joy! Apples, pumpkins, and…
This is by far my favorite Mini Catalog stamp set! It was my first order from this catalog (altho not my last!) and I still love it more than any other. It’s Soft Seedlings and you can find it on page 53 of the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog. It doesn’t…
I love a beautiful wreath! With the Cottage Wreaths Bundle, you can build your own! It comes with leaves, acorns, holly, and pine branches. Even a spider for your Halloween wreath! Today I made a Cottage Wreath and dressed it up for Fall. Take a look ~ Here’s a peek…
I’m in a Fall mood! And yet it is pushing 108 degrees ~ whaaat?! I don’t even live in Arizona! If I pull out the autumnal colors and add a sunflower, will it feel cooler outside? Well, maybe not. But I am thankful for AC and Fall will get here…
I love everything that themes around the Fall season! And here is an embossing folder that is just that ~ Fall beauty! It’s called Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. It looks even more spectacular when you emboss it into foil. Take a look at my copper foil leaf fall card…
It’s a Sketch Challenge for CASEing Coast to Coast this month! Rosanne Mulhern from Pennsylvania and I, a California girl, collaborate once a month in our blogs to bring you a couple of different takes on similar designs. This month was Rosanne’s turn to pick a theme or card to…
I had a whim to do some coloring, and one of my favorite images to color is this little girl by My Favorite Things. She is swinging by with a “Hi” among the fall trees from Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper. The DSP is layered on a piece…
Did you pass over this one thinking there wasn’t much you could do with it? Take another look and you might change your mind! Textures & Frames is a free stamp set that you can order with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration. On this first card, I’ve used one of…
The best part of the Sheep Dies in Sale-a-bration is this cute fence die! Think of all the fun ways you could incorporate this fence into your designs! Today I’ve made it part of a pumpkin patch in a Fall scene. Inspiration: The TGIF Challenge #335 ~ Fall & Pumpkins…
Have you ever seen red pumpkins? No? Neither had I, until I saw an inspirational photo in the Mini Catalog that had Cherry Cobbler pumpkins on a card! It caught my eye, because it was so different! But the Cherry Cobbler against a neutral brown background is so striking! Here…
Last week, Rosanne Mulhern and I brought you a CASEing Coast to Coast with the theme of Paper Piecing. We each made a card with our personal take on the technique. See it HERE if you missed it. I showed you this alternate card using a different style of the…
