Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends and my Thursday post! Today I’ve busted out the leaves (finally) in an attempt to spur on some Fall weather! I hope it works! We have a Color Challenge today and I’ve stamped three Autumn Leaves in these colors ~ Here’s my card: I…
We have come to August! Where has the time gone?! For me, it’s gone to packing, cleaning, and preparing our house to put on the market. Not an easy task, let me tell you! But so far, I’ve managed to keep up with Create with Stamping Friends, and today is…
Stampin’ Up! held an annual online event over the weekend called “Creativity Now” for all Demonstrators. We were able to watch some Presenters make cards with a new bundle coming soon called Winterly Tree Tops. Since we were able to pre-order this bundle, we could make the cards right along…
This week I am going to attempt to enter each card I make into a challenge of one kind or another! These challenges provide a great jumping-off point if you are stuck in the creative process. They give you focus and a place to start. I’m going to start today…
We’ve come to the end of the week! All week I’ve shown you cards made with our five new In Colors: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock, and now Summer Splash. This color is such a pretty aqua tone. It’s warmer than last year’s Tahitian Tide, but…
Hello! Today at Create with Stamping Friends, we have a color challenge. Pecan, Lemon, and Lagoon sounds like A Little Latte DSP to me! So that’s the route I went with my card. I thought this sentiment from So Sincere went perfectly with a couple of coffee mugs. Here is…
This week at Create With Stamping Friends, we have a sketch challenge. I saw that circle and my thoughts went straight to A Little Latte DSP! While putting it together, I discovered that the Latte papers go very nicely with Country Lace DSP (coming out on May 1)! So I…
I’m very excited to show you one of the new stamp & die bundles coming out on May 1! It’s called Country Birdhouse and I absolutely love it! There are many techniques you can do with this set, but for my first card, I decided to stick with simple coloring.…
Happy Saturday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. I have a quick post today. After watching Julie DiMatteo’s video, I made her Angled Tri-fold Card. This is perfect for my special friend who is all about everything purple! I secretly think this Lavender DSP was designed with…
Happy Thursday! We are back with a Color Challenge at Create with Stamping Friends this week. This was a fun one, because we got to pick the colors we wanted to use! The only “must do” was to make it sparkle 🤩 Here’s our challenge board ~ And here’s my…
Are you ready for something new? This might be what you’re craving…A Little Latte! This is just one of the new Online Exclusives that came out today. I love a good latte, so this Suite tops my wish list. There is a stamp/die bundle (so cute!), embellishments, and Designer Series…
Our final February post for Create With Connie & Mary is a sketch challenge, and I’ve made this one as sweet as honey! First, here’s the sketch: And here’s my card, using the Bee Mine suite products (DSP, Bee Builder Punch, Bee My Valentine Stamp Set, and the Hearts &…
Will there bee sunny days where you live today? It remains to bee seen here. It’s sunny while I’m writing this but I see rain in the forecast. This bee is just the cutest! And he’s not just for Valentine’s Day! This could be for any occasion! Of course, all play on words,…
It’s Thursday, and time for another Create With Connie & Mary Challenge! This week we have a sketch for inspiration. I tweaked the sketch just a little to change it from square to a regular A2 card and used the hummingbird from Thoughtful Expressions as the focal point. Here’s the…
We are CASEing the Catalog during the month of July at Create With Connie & Mary. Here is the catalog sample that we are taking inspiration from this week. I went with the same stamp set, In The Moment. My Slightly Altered Design: I started with a base of Night…
