Today is a color challenge for CCMC. We are playing with Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam, and Berry Burst. Sound like a floral to me! So I went with Timeless Arrangements and created a pretty floral centerpiece for my card. Here’s my card: To add a bit of visual interest,…
Welcome September! We have a sketch challenge to start of the month at Create With Connie & Mary! And since the new Mini Catalog went live this week, I can use some new products! I’ve chosen Garden Walk 6″x 6″ DSP and Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim to use on…
We end the August challenges with an interesting color combination. As you can see below, we have Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, and Flirty Flamingo. I have to admit, I struggled with this combination and tried a few different things before settling on the Gorgeously Made Dies. Who can go…
Hi Everyone! Today is Friday, June 23, and you all should think pink today because it is National Pink Day! So, of course, I had to make a pink card! Look how sweet this is… Here is what I used ~ Berry Burst Cardstock base, 11″x 4-1/4″, folded at 5-1/2″…
Happy Thursday! It’s time for Create With Connie & Mary, and this week we have a color challenge: Gray Granite/Moody Mauve/Misty Moonlight. What would you do with this color combination? I must admit, I’m very interested to see what the Team creates with this combo! I decided to go dark…
This month is flying by! We are on Thursday again, which means Create With Connie & Mary. This week we have a sketch challenge, and I love this sketch! I chose Regency Park DSP to build this card, but I think it will look great with any number of papers.…
Hmmm…I may be mixing up my biomes here, but I think Quiet Meadow with Delicate Desert make a nice pairing! Hi! It’s Thursday and time for a Create With Connie & Mary challenge. This week we have a sketch to create from. Here is the sketch ~ And here is…
Ready for a spectacular new die? It’s the Ginkgo Branch! This die is so lovely – embossing on the solid leaves and delicate cut-outs on the rest. It die-cut very easily, if you’re wondering. I took my Take Your Pick Tool to gently remove all the bits, but they came…
Good Monday morning! I’m going back to the Annual Catalog today. We are in that weird transition between Christmas and the new catalog, so I thought I’d re-visit some of my older products! Here’s what I ended up with ~ a combination of Texture Chic DSP and the Uniquely Artistic…
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 pulled out this paper today and thought, “I want to make something with this.” I had no idea what was going to develop, but this is where I landed. Do you ever craft that way? It’s Texture Chic with a fish! Card Details: Calypso Coral Cardstock ~ base at…

I love plants! My daughter bought me a beautiful rubber plant for my birthday last March. It has these big green, cream, and red leaves. I’ve discovered that the more direct sunlight it receives, the more red comes out. This plant stamp from Plentiful Plants reminds me of it. I…
This week at Create With Connie & Mary we have another CASE the Catalog challenge. You’ll find the inspiration card on page 39 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. I chose to use Uniquely Artistic for CCMC724. While I did leave off (perhaps) the main focal point of their card,…
