It's Saturday and time for the last blog hop of the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary.   We've had an exciting four weeks and we are so glad you joined us!  For those of you that haven't, it's not too late to see what all the fuss is about!  You can still subscribe and enjoy all of the tutorials.  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details.  You should be coming from Melissa's blog , she had the cutest project this week, I just loved it! My project this week was made with the new Bouquet Bigz L Die so I made a card today with a couple of the die cuts and the matching stamp set Build a Bouquet. Doesn't this look like spring?  I love So Saffron and Calypso Coral together.   It's a very pretty color combination that looks beautiful against the Crumb Cake Woodgrain background. For this look, I used the five petal flower and the leaves.  Both of the flowers have been stamped in the center with So Safflower ink usi...

Now, onto my little treat for today.  I made my card set with Guy Greetings.  I have enjoyed this set so much and really glad I picked it!  Masculine cards can be a challenge, but I had no problem with all of the wonderful stamps in this set. I wanted to make a fun but quick treat that any guy would love to get.  So, in comes the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet to make my life easy!  I cannot say e...

I have a fun little set of 3 x 3 cards made with the new set Guy Greetings to share today.  I've had this set out for the last week and a half and I must say I've really enjoyed stamping with it!  I made an exclusive card set for the Spring Collection 2015 that I am really pleased with!  Creating masculine cards can be intimidating but not with this set...it came easy.  If you aren't a subscriber yet, you can find all the details about the collection at Create with Connie and Mary. Now, on to the super fun set of 3 x 3 cards that I have for you today.  I have been doing lots of these little guys lately, they are so quick and easy to make!  For this set, I paired Guy Greetings with Typeset Designer Paper and kept it simple. Yep, I said simple!  It's just Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  Guy Greetings has a vintage feel, so it's perfect with these colors and the Typeset Designer Paper.  I've done close ups of each card so you can see more detail...

It's hard to believe, but we are at the end of the second week of the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary .  As with each week, we do a blog hop on Saturday to showcase the set we used for our project.  If you started at the beginning, you should be arriving from Melissa's blog .  I loved her project for this week!  She is just too clever! My project for this week featured From the Garden and Handpicked Framelits on page 20 of the Occasions Catalog.  This set can easily be over looked, but I saw potential as I love to garden!  I had so much fun making my Create project and love the way it turned out!  I had just as much fun creating cards to share with you today.  In fact, I made THREE cards, each one is just a little different.  All of the cards are on a Whisper White card base with flowers from Painted Petals stamped in Marina Mist. For the first card, I added a tag with the sentiment on a banner.  Under the tag is ...

Today I have a fun little gift idea to share with you.  It's one I've done many different ways, but I still love it. It's a sweet little chapstick holder.  I love small gifts to say thank you and this one fits the bill, who doesn't love chapstick?!  With spring coming closer (not fast enough!) I thought a floral holder would be a nice idea.  I've been using From the Garden all week, it's the set featured in my exclusive tutorial for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary .  It's a really fun set that can be more versatile than you think.  I love using the garden picks for my sentiments, you'll get to see more examples tomorrow. I kept the inside simple and used a die cut from the mini Treat Bag Thinlet.  As you can see, a tube of chapstick fits just right in the holder. The holder is easy to make, I have a tutorial that I made a few years ago HERE for you to follow. Thanks for visiting with me today.  If you've not become a su...

Wow!! Hard to believe week one of the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary is coming to an end.  I have really enjoyed all of the Sale-a-bration projects that were featured.  We have a fun blog hop today to share cards made with products we used all week. You should be arriving from Melissa's fabulous blog, I just love all of her cards!!  My card features Best Year Ever, one of the sets that I used for my project. I love how cute this card turned out!  It's not hard to come up with ideas when there are so many fabulous Sale-a-bration products to work with.  The Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper has a beautiful group of colors that are truly inspiring! The card base is Coastal Cabana with a fun tulip style paper design.  The sentiment is two layers, the bottom was cut with a circle framelit and the sentiment is cut with a starburst framelit. The inside also has designer paper, I love this bohek inspired design.  I stamped a sent...
