CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Blackberry Bliss

April 23, 2016 By Connie | Leave a Comment

SP15SatHopWelcome
 

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we have been featuring the retiring In Colors and Blackberry Bliss is up this week!

 

I used some more of the Farmer’s Market Designer Paper for the background of my card, I love the Blackberry Bliss check!  And, I used the Apple of My Eye Stamp Set to make up some plums for the front…they almost look real, don’t they?

 

Apple of My Eye
 

Here are the details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Blackberry Bliss, folded in half.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Farmer’s Market DSP in the Blackberry Bliss checked pattern.
  • Thank You from Apple of My Eye stamp set was stamped on the 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 Very Vanilla and then layered on the 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of Old Olive cardstock.
  • The “plum” from Apple of My Eye was inked up with Cherry Cobbler Ink, then using a sponge dauber to add Blackberry Bliss Ink to the edges of the plums.  They were cut out by hand.
  • The leaves were inked with Old Olive then Mossy Meadow was added to the edges with the sponge dauber, and hand cut.
  • Before adhering the plums to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, loops of Gold Metallic Thread were added behind the plums for a bit of glimmer.
  • Finally, three Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots were added to the right side of the Very Vanilla strip for a little bling.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Apple of My Eye

Inks:  Blackberry Bliss, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock:  Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Old Olive

Accessories:  Farmer’s Market DSP, Regals Candy Dots, Gold Metallic Thread, Sponge Daubers, Stampin’ Dimensionals

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!
