Saturday Blog Hop – Shades of Green

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday!  Since we are getting close to St. Patrick’s Day, we thought it would be fun to do our theme with “Shades of Green” cards!  Stampin’ Up! has SO many wonderful greens…what did I design team use?  I pulled out Amazing Life again…I’ve only used the four-leaf clover and Good Luck greeting in this set so far…need to use a few of the other images!  lol!

AMAZING LIFE

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On a 3-1/2 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock, the four-leaf clover image from Amazing Life was stamped with Memento Black Ink randomly multiple times.  The clovers were colored with Soft Seafoam, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends (both dark and light).  It was adhered to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
  • Lemon Lime Twist Organdy Ribbon (SAB item) was wrapped around the seam and tied in a bow.
  • Good Luck from Amazing Life was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the Blends in an Ombre effect with darker bottom to lighter top.
  • Two Glitter Dots were added next to the greeting.

It took a little while to color all those four-leaf clovers, but I love how it turned out!  Now, continue the blog hop to see what our Design Team did with the Shades of Green Challenge this week! Next up is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa’s fabulous card!

CCMC548 – Amazing Life

By | 2 Comments

Hello Thursday!!!  Happy Valentine’s Day!!!  It’s time for a Create with Connie and Mary Challenge!  This time a FUN sketch for you to try. I know…my card isn’t for Valentine’s Day…I’ve already moved on to the next holiday!  lol!

AMAZING LIFE

I don’t really have a LOT of need for St. Patrick’s Day cards, but my oldest grandson likes to get “happy mail”!  I thought I’d make up a few for the grands this year.  Plus, I do love the “Good Luck” greeting in this Amazing Life stamp set…it’s not just for St. Patrick’s Day!  Always good to send out a little encouragement now and then.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The Garden Green polka dot pattern in Regals 6×6 Designer Paper is cut to 2-3/4 x 5.
  • The Garden Green striped pattern in Regals 6×6 DSP is cut to 1-3/4 x 4-1/4.
  • A 3/8 x 3-1/2 strip of Basic Black cardstock was added across the front.
  • Good Luck from Amazing Life is stamped with Memento Black on a Stitched Shapes Oval and watercolored with Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and AquaPainter with a gradated Ombre look.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The four-leaf clovers, also from Amazing Life stamp set, were stamped with Memento Black on scrap Whisper White cardstock, watercolored with Garden Green Marker and hand-cut, then added around the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Three Rhinestones were colored with the Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends.  (Who else wishes we had the Stampin’ Blends in EVERY color????)

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team did this week with the sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
