Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is UP IN THE AIR. This was a great opportunity to make a card for my best friend who is always a superhero for me. I combined a couple of sets, EVERYDAY HERO and LIFT ME UP.  They work together beautifully!  The clouds and the sentiment from Lift Me Up was a perfect compliment to the superhero!  I made it bold and colorful and just love how it turned out!  If you'd like to give this a try, check out my supply list below.

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is RED & WHITE PLUS 1. I created a Valentine for my husband with the new NAILED IT Bundle.  He is a general contractor, so this was just perfect! For my plus 1 color, I used Silver Foil paper on the saw.  The rest of the card is pretty clean and simple so the cut out saw would really stand out.

Welcome to the February 2017 Color Fusers Blog Hop!  Each month we work with a group of colors to bring you inspiration.  Check out the fabulous colors we have to work with this month. We only have to use three of the colors, but I love the challenge of using all four!  I was able to pull it off using the fun COOL TREATS bundle from the Occasions Catalog.   It ended up being quite easy to incorporate all the colors with this stamp set.  It all started with the Peekaboo Peach paper from the TASTY TREATS Specialty DSP .  It provided a wonderful background to work with. Lots of details went into the rest of the card.  A fun sundae was placed in a set of circles and surrounded by the sentiment.  I love how the sentiment circles around the focal point.  It's a unique way to do a greeting for sure!  I had originally placed the words in a zig zag pattern but really loved it when I thought to put it along the top and bottom. I hope you've enjoyed this COOL TREATS idea!  It was so muc...

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is LOVE IS IN THE AIR. I went with the obvious choice and used LIFT ME UP for my card today.  It's a simple design which is my favorite lately! I thought about doing this on watercolor paper and adding a wash of blue for the sky, but instead I went with the WATERCOLOR WASH background stamp.  This is one of my favorite backgrounds ever made and it was perfect for this card. I added the sentiment in Dapper Denim, it's a nice complimentary color to Soft Sky.  The balloon was a combination of Flirty Flamingo and Watermelon Wonder.  The pink balloon stand out nicely against the blue sky and white clouds. SUPPLIES: STAMPS:  Lift Me Up, Watercolor Wash Background INKS:  Soft Sky, Dapper Denim, Watermelon Wonder PAPER:  Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo ACCESSORIES:    Up & Away Thinlits, Stampin’ Trimmer, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, dimensionals, SNAIL The February Mini Session is on it's way!...

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is KID'S BIRTHDAY. My little guy is turning 4 soon so I did a fun little CUSTOM TEE card for his birthday. I love the simplicity of this card!  The sentiment was done with three coordinating shades of blue...Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim. The shirt itself is done with Marina Mist ink and cardstock.  I could have added more, but I think this clean and crisp design is perfect as it is.  Change up the sentiment and colors for just about any occasion!

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is MASCULINE BIRTHDAY. I pretty much knew immediately what I wanted to make....a black tie birthday card with CAKE CRAZY. I was inspired by the stamp with the bow tie.  I thought it's perfect for an elegant masculine black tie cake.  This is great for any man in your life!  I love the simplicity, this is something you could make several of and keep for those occasions where you need a card at the last minute.

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! I got to use a set for today that I think is super cute and has so many variation possibilities..... CAKE CRAZY. I wanted the card to be bold and bright, so I took color inspiration from FESTIVE BIRTHDAYS DSP.  I added in a little bling for sparkle and love the boost it gives the card.  The colors are gorgeous, but the rhinestones give that little extra something.  Definitely a fun birthday card to brighten up someone's day.
