CCMC260 – Flower Shop

July 11, 2013 By Connie | 9 Comments

We have a special DOUBLE challenge for this time on Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  Since a lot of the Challenge Team will be away at Convention, we thought it would be easier to have the challenge run TWO weeks, instead of just one!  But…that means we have a DOUBLE challenge!  lol!  You can use EITHER ONE or BOTH of the challenges on your card this time.  I combined BOTH of them on mine!

 

                

 

I think I'm going to wear out my Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy Punch, I've used them SO much!  I stayed pretty close to the original sketch challenge, too.  Actually…I did another card that I'll post later using the double challenge again!

 

 

Here is what I did:

  1. I cut TWO of the largest Decor Label Framelits from Pistachio Pudding cardstock.
  2. The FRONT one I embossed with Perfect Polka Dots folder.  The BACK one I scored across right at the part where the top design starts to turn into the curved shape.  Use Sticky Strip above the scored mark on the BACK one, then adhere front and back together.  The scored line becomes the hinge to open and close the card.
  3. Stamp the greeting from hostess set, Simply Sketched in Calypso Coral on Whisper White, then cut with the smaller Decor Label Framelit and adhere to front.
  4. Stamp the Flower Shop flower image twice with Crisp Cantaloupe ink on Whisper White and punch with the Pansy Punch.  Also punch one Blossom punch from Calypso Coral cardstock.  Adhere to the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  5. Cut a 1" x 6" strip of Crisp Cantaloupe pattern from In Colors Designer Paper Pack and fold in half, cut flag ends.  Tuck under the left side of the larger flower.
  6. Punch the Itty Bitty flower image from Pistachio Pudding pattern in the In Colors Designer Paper Pack and use for the centers of the flowers.  Add a Calypso Coral Candy Dots in the center.

 

So…grab your stamps and ink pads and play along!  You have TWO weeks to play!  Play along more than once!  Check out Create with Connie and Mary for more Challenge Team inspiration!!!

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!

    This card is so pretty and I just love the shape you used. Dummy me had mine all done using both challenges and the read it needed to be other than square or rectangle! Love how you used the colors. Have a great time at convention!

The NEW Annual Catalog is here and we are SO excited with all the FUN new things it offers!  Nothing can make you smile more than seeing a garden full of colorful pansies, so for our first Collection we just couldn’t resist the gorgeous Pansy Patch Bundle.  We know you’ll love the embossed Pansy Dies that enhance the detailed Pansy Patch stamp set.  Plus, it has some beautiful font greetings!  We’ve used PANSY PATCH BUNDLE with the PANSY PETALS DESIGNER PAPER for a colorful Collection with four card ideas and two gift packaging ideas!  See more details HERE!

While we anxiously wait for the new Annual Catalog, do you want a perfect QUICK & EASY Product Class idea that features a couple retiring items?  Or, do you often need a little gift box in a hurry?  Have your customers (or you!) purchase the Perfect Parcel Dies (clearance for $14) and Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper (clearance for $6.90).  You’ll get four different box ideas (two are uniquely altered!) using this colorful and seasonal Collection and will have a TON of designer paper left to make more!  See more details HERE!

We think our Sweet Strawberry Collection is one of our “sweetest” ones yet!  BUT…it isn’t JUST for strawberries…you’ll love one of our “unusual” ideas for the punch!  We’ve used Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Strawberry Builder Punch, along with Snail Mail Designer Paper in this bright and fun-filled Collection with three card ideas (one a unique fun fold!) and a different type of box that holds a LOT!  See more details HERE!
