Saturday Blog Hop – Ombre Cards

June 27, 2020 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! It’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week the Design Team is featuring Ombre Cards…light to dark variations using only one single color!  Another challenge!  Whew!  Even though I actually selected this challenge, I was kind of dreading it!  But, it turned out much easier and better than I expected!

I’ve done ink Ombre cards before, but this time I used the die from Ornate Borders to give me my one color/tone variation!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Purple Posy cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The Ornate Borders floral die was cut from Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Purple Posy cardstocks, then adhered to a 4 x 4-1/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock with Monoadhesive Glue.
  • The tag from Ornate Frames die was cut from Whisper White cardstock and stamped with the greeting from Comfort & Hope stamp set with Gorgeous Grape Ink.  A 1/8″ hole was punched on one end.
  • The Tricolor Ribbon was wrapped around the Whisper White and the tag added to the knot.
  • The Whisper White panel was added to a 4-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock, then added to the front of the card.

That’s it!  Really!  Nice and easy!  Next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Brenda’s fabulous card and see what everyone did with this challenge!

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!

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!
