Going to be a FUN day! My 2-1/2 year old grandson, Carter, is coming over to bake cookies with me this afternoon! Want to start it as a Christmas tradition. My boys both helped my mom with cookies every year and had lots of fun!
Wow…first week in December and it is PREORDER time for the Occasions Catalog! I sure missed out on not going to On Stage and getting to order some items early! But as it turned out, we had a close friend pass away that weekend, so I wouldn’t have been able to go anyway. Sad!
But, it’s Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
With the traditional Christmas colors in this week’s color challenge, I had trouble narrowing down my choices of what to use! In the end, I went with a CAS design, Designer Paper and Big Shot items for a “no stamp” look!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cherry Cobbler, folded in half.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White was embossed with the Stripes Embossing Folder.
- A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Season of Cheer Designer Paper was added along the left side.
- The 3rd from smallest Star Framelit was cut from Silver Glimmer Paper and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Joy from the Wreath Framelits was cut from Cherry Cobbler and added to the front with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
That’s it! See…told you it was CAS! So, go check out the awesome inspiration from the rest of our Thursday Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary today, then grab your stamps and play along!
Great card. Sorry for your loss Connie. Enjoy cookie baking……I started baking YOUNG and it is still a family tradition to get together for cookie baking day too….so fun!!
Connie, Thanks for sharing this card. It’s so pretty! I needed a couple of easy last minute cards and this was just perfect. I changed up the dsp, did my star in the Champagne glimmer paper and used the softly falling embossing folder. Just love it! Thanks for the idea. Vicki
I love this! I’m certainly going to CASE it!
What a great CAS card Connie, just what you need at this time of year and a wonderful showcase of the holly paper! I hope your cookie baking was fun – I love making new traditions!
Love how the pretty cursive compliments the curvy holly leaves! Very pretty!
I was so busy staring at that sparkling star and red sentiment that I didn’t even realize there wasn’t any stamping until you said it! Love this!
I can’t wait to have grandkids to bake with! What fun being a grandmother must be! Hope you had fun baking! Love your card! The glimmer star looks great with your DSP and that cherry cobbler JOY.
