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…

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…

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…
