CCMC265 – Magnificent Maple

August 22, 2013 By Connie | 6 Comments

We're continuing on with PREVIEW WEEK over on Create with Connie and Mary.  It's the last few days to save with Early Bird Pricing!  We've shown two FREE TUTORIALS so far…and had lots of blog candy…FREE subscriptions to Create with Connie and Mary!  But, you need to check in daily to see where to go!  Today is our Thursday Challenge…we offer weekly challenges for everyone to play along!  Hope you join us!  Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team has done this week with our sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!

 

 

And here is my card using Magnificent Maple single stamp in the Holiday Catalog.  This time I made a fall "sunflower" using the Pansy Punch.  Have I said how much I love this punch???

 

 

Here are the details:

  1. The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Crushed Curry, folded in half.
  2. On the 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla layer, I used the Scoring Tool and embossed a line around the edges at 1/4" on all sides.  Just a little extra texture!
  3. I cut three 1 x 2 1/2 panels of Sweater Weather Designer Paper and adhere them on top.
  4. I stamped the Magnificent Maple leaf in Chocolate Chip on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and cut it out, then placed it on front.
  5. I punched the Pansy punch three times with Crushed Curry cardstock, sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie, then crumbled up the flowers and layered them together.  I punched a 7/8 Scallop Circle of Chocolate Chip cardstock for the center and adhere with a Stampin' Dimensional. 
  6. In the center of the flower, I tied Linen Thread in the small Naturals button and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.
  7. Finally, I stamped Happy Birthday from the hostess only set, Express Yourself with Chocolate Chip on a 1/2" strip of Very Vanilla, cut the flag end and curled the edges a little.

Pretty, isn't it???  I love the fall feel of it!  Putting me in the mood to see fall!  lol!  We have so many fall birthdays, it is nice to get a head start on them!

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!

    What a great card, Connie! I LOVE everything about it…the pretty printed papers, your stamped leaf and dimensional flower with the button and twine and center scallop, the sentiment on the paper ribbon/flag! Just a great look and it does not look terribly complicated…something up my alley, ha! Thanks for sharing! hugs, Laura

    Your card is so bright and cheerful, as well as fall-ish!  Love the flower and the maple leaf behind it really makes it pop!  Great card for so many occasions.  Love this sketch too!
