CCM Saturday Hop - Designer Paper Lovers

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is our favorite NEW Designer Paper. Right away I knew the Bright & Beautiful DSP was going to be one of my favorites because of all the bright and beautiful colors!


And, oddly enough, I chose the softer colors for this card. Go figure, LOL. One of my new favorite colors is Bubble Bath, so I chose the patterns with Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia.


And you have to admit, a leopard in a tutu is too too cute! This would be a perfect birthday card for a little ballerina, don't you think?

CCM Saturday Hop - Stamp it Up

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is our favorite new annual catalog stamp set. I like a lot of them, and I've already shown some, so I chose Around the Bend.


I really like the fonts for the sentiments in it and the coordinating gorgeous dies.


I also like the three yellows in our color collections and felt like making it a cheerfully colored card.


That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.

Stamp Review Crew - Brewed for You


Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew's BREWED FOR YOU edition! The "Crew" is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who pick a stamp set or bundle to highlight on the first and third Mondays of each month, with a bonus hop if there is a fifth Monday. If you landed here from Jay's blog, Mitosu Crafts, welcome! There are four of us today.


Brewed For You is a 13 piece photopolymer stamp set with a coordinating 14 piece die set. Fortunately they are carrying over to the new annual catalog that starts tomorrow (yippee!), but unfortunately today is the last day you can bundle them and save 10%! Starting tomorrow they will only be available separately.


The background on the first card was brushed on with Pecan Pie (a new color) and a Split Card Textures die cut was added on top. That die set is retiring and won't be available after today!


The glass and mug were stamped in Pebbled Path (a new In Color) then "filled" with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.


The addition of a Chic dies grid cut in gold foil added some more texture behind the brews.


The second card uses lots of textures and some new Subtles DSP. The beer background is Pool Party, die cut with a stitched rectangle die (ALSO RETIRING TOMORROW!) and embossed with the Metal Plate 3D folder.


The three brewskis were stamped in Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, and the new Pecan Pie. I'm thinking that nutty ale on the end might be tasty, LOL.


The Basic White background was embossed with one of the Basics 3D folders. That was the only layer that wasn't die cut in some way. I still can't believe Stitched Rectangles Dies will be gone tomorrow. 😢 I see that they are marked down, so today is your last chance to get them.

That's all I have to share, so click "Next" to see what Holly The Rubber Redneck created, or "Previous" to visit Jay again. Thanks for stopping by!


NOTE: I can't link to all the products used until they go live tomorrow, so only current product is listed for now.
