CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Cut a Rug

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week’s theme is “Cut a Rug”.  Lots of new Dies available in the new Annual Catalog…we are featuring our favorites this week!  You are getting a “two-fer” this week from me…these were the Mother’s Day cards I made using the Darling Details Bundle…I LOVE these eyelet dies!  My mom loves corals, and my mother-in-law loves purples!  I just switched out the layout a little to make them even more different.

 

DARLING DETAILS

Stampin’ Details Card 1:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White was cut with the larger Darling Details eyelet Die.
• A 3-5/8 x 4-7/8 piece of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Basics 3D crosshatch folder, then adhered to the back of the eyelet cutout, and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The flowers were stamped with Calypso Coral outlines and Petal Pink Ink insides, the leaves with Granny Apple Green outsides/veins and Lemon Lime Twist Ink insides on Basic White cardstock.  The centers with Daffodil Delight Ink.  They were cut with the Darling Details Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of white Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems were colored with the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends, then added to the background.
