This is the last of our five new In Colors for 2022-24! Today I’m introducing Orchid Oasis. It’s a slightly lighter shade than Starry Sky. Both are beautiful purplish blues. I pulled two sheets of Tea Boutique DSP to use on this card and two strips of the In Color…
It’s Thursday and time for Create With Connie & Mary! Today we have a Color Challenge with this gorgeous trio of colors: I chose Artistically Inked to show off these beautiful colors, and created a thank you card: Card Details: Rich Razzleberry Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at…
Hello there! It’s Thursday and time for another Create With Connie and Mary card challenge! This week is a color challenge: Soft Succulent/Calypso Coral/Gold. I looked through my new stamp sets and settled on Flowing Flowers for this challenge. This card is a departure from my usual clean and simple…
Yesterday I showed you a card that I made using the new Artfully Composed DSP. You can see it HERE. I liked it but felt the proportions were a little “off.” So I made some adjustments and have a new one to show you today. Same card, different proportions. Here…
I’m playing with the new selections of Designer Series Papers that are coming out on January 4, 2022. Today I’m looking at Artfully Composed. This is a collage of greens and tropical foliage that come together in a bold way. So here’s a sneak peek at Artfully Composed DSP. I…
I have the sweetest friend who popped over with dinner when she heard I wasn’t feeling well. Her homemade soup, salad, and wonderful bread was just what the doctor ordered! And I will be thanking her for her thoughtfulness with this card made from the What’s Cookin’? stamp set by…
Another one of the cards in my July card class was this Expressions in Ink thank you card. So pretty in Polished Pink and Metallic Gold. You don’t have to do much when the DSP is this pretty and detailed! I simply heat embossed the “thanks” from Artistically Inked with…

I recently read a lively debate on the internet about whether we should call card designs “masculine” or “feminine.” I found the topic rather silly, actually. My feeling is, make a card you think will make the receiver and the giver happy and who cares about the gender reference?! That…
I have a catalog CASE to share with you today, this time with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Suite. You’ll see the original on page 80 of the 2021 Annual Catalog. I started by embossing a 5-1/4″x 4″ piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock with the Macramé Embossing Folder. I cut…
I have two very simple cards to share with you today. Both cards show off the new designer paper called Bloom Where You’re Planted. I love it when the DSP is in the “driver’s seat” on a card because it becomes a quick assembly and yet such a pretty card!…
Soft, calming, pretty. That’s how I would describe this Peony Garden Thank You card. This Peony Garden Designer Series Paper is all of that. I paired the Basic Gray Prints with Blushing Bride. Even the name of the stamp set fits the description — So Sentimental! Measurements: Basic Gray Cardstock…
What a sweet way to say “Thank you!” Make my Sweet Strawberry thank you card using this amazing Sale-a-Bration DSP called Berry Delightful. You can get it free along with the Berry Blessings Stamp Set with any purchase of $100 or more. See another sample of this paper here. The…
I think the world needs more of you. Yes, you! You are kind, compassionate, helpful, caring, generous. You know I’m talking about you. And I appreciate you so much! This card is for you ~ I made this clean and relatively simple card with World of Good Specialty Designer Series…
Here’s a little trio of thank you notes that I put together last night. I used Trimming the Town paper and an older retired set that was one of my favorites, Nothing Sweeter. You know I’m an advocate of using your older sets, and as much as I’d love to…
