CCMCWinter13-01 Calm Christmas

October 26, 2013 By Connie | 2 Comments

It's Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Winter Collection Saturday Challenge!  At the end of each week during the Winter Collection, our designers will be showing off their challenge cards.  We invite you to play along…you don't need to be a subscriber either!  This week we have a fun sketch challenge!

CCMCWINTER13-01

Calm Christmas is another set that has really grown on me since I've used it!  This sketch seemed perfect to hold the bird.  I also love the color combination in the Winter Frost Designer Paper this year!

 

Calm Christmas

OK…here are the details:

  1. The 4 1/4 x 11 Coastal Cabana cardstock is folded in half for base card.
  2. I cut a 2" x 5" piece of Winter Frost Designer Paper, then cut a flag end and placed on the front.
  3. At the top, I slid on the 1/8 Silver Ribbon and tied a bow.
  4. At the bottom, I cut a 2" x 2" piece of Silver Glimmer Paper, then imitated the same flag cut as the DSP and tucked it under.
  5. I cut a 3 7/8 x 3 3/8 piece of Whisper White and stamped the dove with Smoky Slate Ink.  I layered it on a 4 x 3 1/2 piece of Island Indigo cardstock and popped it up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

It would be pretty easy to mass produce these for your Christmas cards!

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!
