Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Happy”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday using that theme!

NUTS & BOLTS
I can say that I am NOT happy that Nuts & Bolts won’t be in the new catalog. It is a darling set for a variety of occasions, and not just for kids! This happy greeting is kind of play on words. It actually is a happy birthday to you greeting, but it made me happy, so I went with it! lol!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Just Jade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- Two 1 x 4-1/4 pieces of Just Jade DSP were added to the background towards the center.
- A 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock was cut with the Stitched Whimsy Die.
- The robot was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the lower right corner and colored with Light Just Jade and Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.
- The HB2U greeting was stamped with Just Jade Ink.
- A trio of three Just Jade Hexagon Dots were added to the heart and background.
