Saturday Blog Hop – “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”

May 18, 2019 By Connie | 1 Comment

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop! We are continuing with the song themes this week with “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John! Enjoy our cards with predominantly yellow colors! I went one step further with the theme and used RETIRING products on mine…Bubble Over, Lemon Zest and the Wood Crate Framelits! Saying goodbye to all of these! There are nothing like them in the new catalog, so make sure to place your order with me to get them NOW!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pineapple Punch cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was stamped with the sprinkles stamp from Waterfront (I know! I’ve been using this a LOT!) It was then embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder.
The Wood Crate was cut from the Wood Textures Designer Paper using the Framelit and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The smaller bottles in Bubble Over were stamped with Pineapple Punch Ink on Whisper White, then cut with the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits. The lids cut from Silver Metallic Paper. They were tucked down in the crate.
For You from Bubble Over was stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink on Whisper White and cut with the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits, then added to the center bottom with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
The lemon from Lemon Zest stamp set was stamped with Pineapple Punch Ink on Whisper White and cut in half, then added to the crate with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Two leaves from Lemon Zest were stamped with Granny Apple Green, cut out and added under the lemon slice with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The yellow dots from Best Route Enamel Dots were added to the background.

This was SUCH a fun, cheerful card to make! OK…continue the blog hop to see the Design Team Member’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” cards 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!

IM16 – Bubble Over

April 16, 2018 By Connie | Leave a Comment

It’s time for Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!! The inspiration photo this time reminded me of bubbles! SO…what better set to use than Bubble Over Stamp Set! I’m glad to see that this set will be in the new catalog! It’s a fun and different set!

Here’s what I came up with!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Tempting Turquoise cardstock (one of the retiring colors!), scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Rich Razzleberery cardstock added on top.
The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White was stamped with Tempting Turquoise and Rich Razzleberry bubbles along the left side.
The larger bottle was in the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits was cut from Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry. The top portion of the Rich Razzleberry bottle was cut off and then adhered over the Whisper White cardstock bottle.
The greeting was stamped with Memento Black on Tempting Turquoise and cut with a Framelit, then added to the front of the bottle.
And the straw was cut from Tempting Turquoise and adhered behind the bottle.
Two Tailored Tags were punched from Silver Foil and added across the front. A 3/8 x 4 piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock was added across the tags.
The bottle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, some Metallic Enamel circles were added in with the stamped bubbles for a little bling.

This was a fun card to make with colors different than I would normally put together! OK…make sure to check out what Mary did with this inspiration photo over at Create with Connie and Mary!

CCMC495 Petal Palette

February 1, 2018 By Connie | Leave a Comment

We have a new challenge for you today over on Create with Connie and Mary! It’s a lovely color challenge. Being so close to Valentine’s Day, my first instinct was to make a Valentine card with the fabulous Painted Love Designer Paper. However, I challenged myself to do a non-Valentine using that paper! I really think it is great for flowers, too!

While I was in Florida, I played with my girlfriend’s Petal Palette stamp set and made this card to fit the challenge. Well, it has a TOUCH of green for the leaves…but I think stays pretty close to the challenge, don’t you? I also happen to LOVE lavender roses, so this worked out great!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Rich Razzleberry cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
On the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock, a 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of the Painted Love Designer Paper was added towards the bottom.
A 1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of the striped DSP was added along the top of the DSP.
The lacy Thinlit from Petals & More was cut from Rich Razzleberry cardstock and tucked slightly under the striped DSP.
The flowers from Petal Palette were stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink, then watercolored with an AquaPainter and Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Old Olive Markers. They were cut out with the Petals & More Thinlits.
Two branches were cut with the Thinlits from Calypso Coral cardstock and added to the front.
The flowers were added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Best Wishes was stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink.

OK…check out what our fabulous Challenge Team did with this color challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary! And…check out our brand new Bubble Over Collection Class Kit to go!
