Saturday Blog Hop – Casing Debbie Henderson 2023

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. For the next several weeks we will be “Casing the Designer”. Each week we have picked a designer and will select a card she designed. We will use the Colors and Layout of her design and recreate our version using stamps/bundles from the September-December Mini Catalog!

This week we are “Casing Debbie Henderson”!  Here’s her Halloween card that I chose from last year’s holiday catalog.

BEARY CUTE

And here’s how I updated her card using the new Beary Cute Bundle for a quick Christmas card!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Starry Sky cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Parakeet Party was added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the two outline trees on each side with Memento Black Ink.  The greeting was stamped with Parakeet Party Ink.
  • On a scrap Basic White cardstock, the tree outline was stamped in Memento Black and the detail branches with Parakeet Party Ink.  It was hand-cut and added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 3/8 x 3/4 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock was added for the tree trunk.
  • The small snowflake from Beary Cute was stamped three times in the background with Starry Sky Ink.
  • Some orange Iridescent Pastel Gems were added to the center tree.

 

Yeah!  I matched the colors and the layout but changed it to a Christmas card!  How fun!  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!
