Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge

January 27, 2011 By Connie | 15 Comments

It's Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  Today we have a GORGEOUS cake to use as our inspiration.  These challenges are so much fun and easy to do!  We hope you play along with us this week!  Use the colors, the design, the pearls, the purse…whatever you see in the inspiration cake!

I chose to focus on the colors, plus the pearls!  I started with a base of Blushing Bride cardstock and layered on the Blushing Bride (In Colors) Patterns Designer Paper.  On top of that I cut the Two Tags die from Early Espresso cardstock and placed it down the top center.  I added three large adhesive Pearls on the bottom. 

 

 

I made a Scallop Flower out of Whisper White cardstock and added an Early Espresso Flower Brad to the center with a little Pearl inside of it.  I made a large 1 1/4 Early Espresso Striped Ribbon Bow and tied it with Linen Thread to gather in the center.  The bow is adhered with Mini Glue Dots and the Scalloped Flower added with two levels of Stampin' Dimensionals over top of the bow.

 

Finally, I stamped So Many Candles, So Little Cake from Stampin' Up!'s new Bring on the Cake stamp set in Early Espresso on Blushing Bride and punched it with the Wide Oval punch.  It is placed over the top of the Tag die cut.  We're featuring the Bring on the Cake suite of items this week over on Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition Subscribers Only website!  We've seen lots of fun projects this week…it's not too late to join!  You'll see all the projects we've already done this week AND see the next four weeks of projects we have planned using the Occasions Mini and SAB brochure!

 

Make sure to check out what the rest of our AWESOME Design Team did today for the Thursday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary, then add your creation to Inlinkz over there!  We love to see what you do!

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!

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!
