IM52 – Beauty Abounds

December 31, 2018 By Connie | 1 Comment

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR (almost!)  This sure has been a BUSY year…and can’t believe it is over and 2019 will be here shortly!  And, it’s Monday and time for another Inspiration Monday on Create with Connie and Mary!

I love the wintery blue colors on our inspiration picture, so that’s what I focused on for my card.  And I used a new Occasions Catalog stamp set, Beauty Abounds that I won at OnStage in November!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Balmy Blue cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, the larger bokeh dots from Beauty Abounds Stamp Set were stamped with Balmy Blue Ink and the smaller bokeh dots and splatter with Crumb Cake Ink, randomly going down and across the right side.
  • A piece of Balmy Blue Organdy Ribbon (SAB Selection!) is wrapped around the Whisper White and tied in a knot.  Love how easy that ribbon is to tie!
  • The greeting from Beauty Abounds was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White, cut with the Layering Circles Framelits and layered on a Balmy Blue Scallop Circle Framelit.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The butterfly in Beauty Abounds was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White, hand cut, then added to the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • A little Wink of Stella on top gives it a little sparkle!

I’m glad this card turned out like I thought in my head…I wasn’t sure it was going to at first!  OK…go check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!


Ice cream, ice cream, we all scream for ice cream!  And, of course, popsicles, too!  For our latest Collection of tutorials, we are using the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set and Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch!  You'll get SIX unique tutorials that include four cards (one a special fold), a treat box and a special 3D favor!   See more details HERE!

 

Stampin' Up!'s FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY is a GREAT value and everywhere you look, cacti are featured as part of home décor!  We loved the whimsical cactus images and "punny" greetings in the stamp set, so just had to use it for our next Collection!  The Flowering Cactus Product Medley kit comes with stamps, dies, designer paper, felt flowers, and two colors of linen thread, everything you need to make it EASY to create!  You'll get FOUR unique tutorials that include three cards (one a special fold), and a fun organizing project! See more details HERE!

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!

    Connie, I love what you did with the background! That stamp went unnoticed by me until I saw your card, and I had to look to see where it was in the catalog. Beautiful! With one little butterfly sitting on it, just lovely!
