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…
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…
For Merry Monday this week I have a sneak peek at what I think will be a very popular Designer Series Paper, A Walk in the Forest. It’s made even cuter with the new Beary Cute Bundle, another one to buy on September 6 (before it sells out!) Here’s a…
I’m back with another Create With Connie and Mary Thursday challenge. This week we have a sketch to work with. I’ve decided on the Textured Floral Bundle over Tahitian Tide DSP for my card. I’ve always loved the combination of turquoise with hot pink, so this combo of Tahitian Tide…
I have a “sneak peek” for you today with this beautiful Winter Meadow puzzle card. Winter Meadow is my favorite DSP in the new Mini catalog! Look at these colors 😍 To add some textural interest, I cut a 4-5/8″x 3-1/8″ piece of Winter Meadow and ran it through the…
For Create With Connie and Mary this week we have another color challenge! We are to create anything using the three colors, Orchid Oasis, Highland Heather, and Berry Burst. Oh, so pretty! I chose our upcoming Translucent Florals for my card. These colors said “flowers!” to me. They are the…
This month at CASEing Coast to Coast, Rosanne and I decided to celebrate teachers and the return to school. It’s hard to believe, but many districts have started their 2023-24 school year already! How about a card and handmade gift for your child’s or grandchild’s teacher? As a retired K/1…
By now, you have hopefully received your new mini catalogs for Sept-Dec 2023! I’m hosting a Fall/Winter Product Share again and would love to have you share these products with me! There are so many good things to sample! My Product Shares are a little different than many in that…
The little bunnies on this Countryside Inn DSP are just too cute! I’m going to have to buy the Bunny Punch just so I can put them together! I saw this sketch challenge at the My Favorite Things website and this paper (front and back) seemed perfect for the sketch!…
This week at Create With Connie & Mary we have a sketch challenge. I’ve decided to keep it clean & simple with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP as the focal point. Here is the sketch: And here is my card: Layer by Layer Details: Garden Green Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″,…
It’s really hot here today, so I tucked away inside my air-conditioned house and had some play time with my craft supplies! Isn’t life great?! 🙂 I thought I’d look through the pages of One Horse Open Sleigh to see what jumped out at me today and I came upon…
Sometimes the simplest cards bring me the most pleasure! This card is a great example. It went together in literally 10 minutes! But this Masterfully Made DSP gives the illusion of something much more complicated. Take a look: Quick Steps: Cut a piece of your favorite DSP to 5″x 3-3/4″.…
Hi! I’m back for another Merry Monday and I’m using So Very Merry once again. This time it’s with the angel and the beautiful sentiment, Peace and Joy. May I just say right up front that this photo does not do this card justice! In real life, it is sparkly…
September – December 2023 Mini Catalog Coming September 6! Our new Fall Mini (formerly known as Holiday Catalog) is going live on September 6, 2023! And as always, with a new catalog, I’m offering a Product Share. You’ll want to reserve your share now to get a sampling of…
We are back to our regular color/sketch rotation at Create With Connie & Mary for August, and first up is a color challenge. I’ve colored the images in Courage & Faith to follow this combination: Here’s my card: This is my first time to use the Courage & Faith Stamp…
