Saturday Blog Hop – Plaid Tidings

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  Time is running out quickly to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration products!  This week we are showing off our plaids!  Could use inks, designer paper, or create your own plaids!  I had these circles left over from another Adorable Owls card that I made using the Picture This Dies, so I thought I’d use them for this plaid challenge!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Smoky Slate cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Calypso Coral is added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Pale Papaya cardstock is embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder.
  • The leftover circles from cutting the Dandy Designs Designer Paper (SAB) with the Picture This Dies were added to the front of the card.
  • A 3/4 x 3 piece of Calypso Coral cardstock was cut with a flag end, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Adorable Owls was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 1-3/4 Basic White and added to the strip.
  • The Adorable Owls image was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the Smoky Slate, Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

 

Isn’t that just TOO ADORABLE?  OK, 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 Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
