I made this birthday card for a special friend, Connie. I don’t think she’ll mind if I share it with you. (Connie, I know you’re reading this – feel free to comment!) It’s my first run with the Hues of Happiness Suite Collection, and I think it’s so pretty, I…
Here’s a fun sketch challenge today at Create With Connie and Mary. I decided to go with Back On Your Feet and pair it with In The Wild Designer Series Paper. Both will be retiring in 4 days! The Last Chance list is here, if you’d like to get some…
I have a family member who loves birds. She has several birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird baths. For her birthday, I couldn’t think of a better stamp set than Garden Birdhouses for her card! Simple Steps: I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with my Blends.…

It’s Thursday again! This week we have a color challenge for Create With Connie & Mary ~ this pretty combination of Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, and Calypso Coral. This combination immediately reminded me of one of our Designer Series Papers, so I went with Artfully Composed for CCM712! I took…
Welcome to our April edition of CASEing Coast to Coast! So glad you’re here! Rosanne and I take turns CASEing each other once a month (that is Copy And Selectively Edit) and combine our posts for a little sharing fun. If you’re wondering why the “coast to coast,” she lives…
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…
So far we’ve looked at Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, and Tahitian Tide. Today I’ll be introducing Starry Sky, a beautiful dark blue that I’ve been hoping for. It leans toward purple so it looks really pretty with Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia. Again, Tea Boutique has lots of this blue…
Today I’m introducing Tahitian Tide, the third new In Color of my five-day post. I thought you might like to see the new Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes Pack as well, so today’s card is built on one ~ Card Details Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes base, Tahitian Tide Tea…
Happy Easter everyone! May you be encouraged with hope and blessed with the knowledge that our Lord Jesus is risen indeed! I received this sweet Easter card from my friend Beth Geraghty and thought I’d share it with you. Enjoy a beautiful day!
I’m giving you a little preview of the new 2022-24 In Colors, coming May 3rd. Yesterday I introduced Sweet Sorbet and today I’m introducing Parakeet Party. Best described as “electric green!” At first glance I thought it was Granny Apple Green all over again, but no, this one is much…
Each year Stampin’ Up! brings out five new In Colors, colors that are on trend for the current year. These colors are available for two years. There are always two sets of In Colors and they rotate in and out every year. This year we have five very vibrant colors…
This week it’s a sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. I picked Waves of the Ocean for CCMC711 because it’s fairly new and I’ve only posted one other card with it. You can see it here. Here’s our sketch… …and here’s my card~ I used Waves of the…
We have a beautiful Spring color palette to work with this week on Create With Connie & Mary. It’s a color challenge using Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather. These colors together remind me of an Easter egg, so I made a card offering Easter Blessings! Here is…
I was flipping through the bits of Designer Series Paper that I have left from this past year’s Annual Catalog, and I came upon this lovely little piece of Blackberry Beauty just for you! It’s so pretty without much fuss and that’s what I needed – a quick and easy…
