Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Sale-A-Bration!  We will design our cards using this theme!

BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY

Of course, it makes me “beautifully happy” to have a floral set in our SAB lineup this year!  I can’t resist a good floral!  This one is especially nice since it is so easy to color!  The stamps do all the work!

Stampin’ Details:

  • Base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pale Papaya cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of HIghland Heather cardstock was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder!
  • A 1-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of Dandy Designs DSP (SAB) was added to the left side.
  • The Beautifully Happy flower outline was stamped with Memento Black Ink.  The insides were stamped with Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and Pale Papaya.  I colored over the leaves of the Pale Papaya image with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Seaside Bay Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Black on a 1/2 x 2-1/2 strip of Basic White and the end cut at an angle.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the flower center and background.

 

I needed a sympathy card for a stamping friend whose mom just passed away.  This is a very simple design, but packs a wow, I think!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  Welcome back!  Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!  Seems to have gone by VERY quickly for me!

 

BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY

I’m using one of the new Sale-A-Bration stamp sets available beginning January 5th!  I cut off the stem portion to make it more of a cluster of flowers to fit within my circle.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • Four 1-1/4 x 4-1/4 strips of Regency Park Designer Paper were spaced across the front of the card.
  • The largest Stylish Shape circle was cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Beautifully Happy flower was stamped with Night of Navy Ink and hand-cut, cutting off the stem portion.  It was colored with the solid images in Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce and Balmy Blue and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped towards the right side with Night of Navy Ink on 1/2 x 4 Mango Melody cardstock, the end was cut at an angle.  It was added across the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on each end.
  • The blue Milky Dots were added to the center of the flower and two in the background on the circle.

I had total fun making this card and love the colors!  Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
