Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Challenge

August 26, 2010 By Connie | 5 Comments

I always think these inspiration challenges are fun…THIS one was a little more challenging for me!  My stars didn't want to line up correctly (hmmm, wonder if that is an omen?)  LOL!  Anyway, here is my interpretation of the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge…an inspiration theme with a FUN cake!  Make sure to check out the rest of the ideas from the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary.  Then create your OWN fun card and post it to InLinkz over there!  We love to see what you do!

 

 

And my card:

 

 

My card started with a base of Poppy Parade card stock.  I layered on Whisper White that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder.  I added a Daffodil Delight piece in the center, then cut two lengths of Marina Mist card stock with my Dotted Ribbon Punch and lined them up across the bottom.  I placed a Red Designer Button, tied with Linen Thread thru the middle.

 

I used another Summer Mini stamp set, Stampin' Up!'s July Fourth, to show you that it is more than just a set for red/white/blue!  It makes a good birthday card, or Thank You card like I used it.  I stamped the large star three times, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist, then punched them out with the Large Star Punch.  I miss the Small Star Punch, but substituted the Stars Die…the smallest star is just a little bigger than the punch used to be!  The greeting is from A Word For You, and stamped on Marina Mist.  I used the NEW Decorative Label Punch to punch it out…hiding the bottom part of the greeting.

 

I think I came pretty close to the inspiration cake…what do you think?  Again, check out the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team!  I'm sure their ideas are fabulous!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th 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 is so cute! I love the way you made the "Thanks" into a little tab, very eye  catching.

    Great card!  Love the stars!  Like the way the embossed dots match the tiny stars on the stars.
