Backyard Basics and BLOG CANDY

March 29, 2014 By Connie | 47 Comments

WOOHOO!  It's finally my turn to do a CARD SET for our PREVIEW WEEK over on Create with Connie and Mary!  It is the LAST DAY of PREVIEW…we start Card Create-tions 2014 TOMORROW.  I chose Backyard Basics for my set today…mainly because it has matching framelits!  Makes it SO easy to cut them out!  Like Mary, I used only one Designer Paper on my set…Watercolor Wonder.  I was amazed at how nice the stamp set and DSP went together!  I also used the versatile stamp set, Express Yourself, that is a hostess only set in the main catalog.  I love all the greetings in it!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I love how you took a stampset I would "never get" and turned it into a stampset I "have to get". Your cards are beautiful. My favourite is the bee card, the hexagon die works perfectly with the bees! I love it!!!!

    You have created a wonderful set of cards.  I don't know how you achieved such a variety by using just the backyard basics stamps set & one DSP.  Thanks for sharing your talents!

    I'll be honest, I never cared for the back yard basics stamp set until I've seen the cards that you have done with them. Now I want to order it. Thank you for the wonderful ideas.

    Thanks for the glimpse of Spring..with snow still on the ground, it is refreshing to get a peek and reminder it is coming..just a little late.  I love how you were able to use one pack of DSP and one stamp set.  Many times I get overwhelmed with trying too many choices..keeping it simply but beautiful..Love it!

    Lovely spring cards.  I am so ready for winter to be over.  I'm going to shower my girls with flowers for my club Sunday night. Maybe it will actually bring spring after our last (we all hope so) snow storm.
