Blog — Great Stamping with Connie

Simply Well Suited

It can be fun to ‘think outside the box’ and get creative with our crafting supplies, but some days I like to craft and just let the theme of the stamps and supplies carry the flow to creating simple cards.

Get Creative With A Sketch

Do you ever find yourself in a creative rut? Starting with a sketch can be just the inspiration you need to get the creative side of you back on track.

Blending Brushes

One of the great new tools in the January to June Mini Catalogue are the Blending Brushes. These brushes have super soft bristles to create soft, smooth blending with your inks.

Ride The Range - Stepping It Up

Have you seen the Ride The Range Bundle in the January to June Mini Catalogue? It is one of those bundles that could be easy to pass by, but for some reason it called to me.

A Special Valentine Post - #sharelove

Throughout the month I have been inviting people to make and send cards to share love with people around us. This year more than ever, is a great time to reach out to someone with a card to let them know how much they mean to you.

Sitting Pretty

I’m not sure if this is the same guy that was kicking up flowers in the garden, but for now he is certainly sitting pretty on my card!
