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????)

CCMC494 Birthday Wit

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch and I grabbed a new stamp set, Birthday Wit, to use on my card today!  I also matched it with the new Tutti-Fruitti Designer Paper.

 

 

Really, the designer paper is doing all the work on my card.  Even the little watermelons are hand-cut from it.

 

 

Here are the details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pool Party Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The red print Tutti-fruitti Designer Paperr is cut 3-3/4 x 4-3/4 and angled on the front.
  • The Whisper White is cut 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 and angled the opposite way.
  • The half watermelons were cut out of the Tutti-fruitt DSP and some were quartered, then placed in the detail areas indicated on the sketch with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 3/8 x 4-1/4 strip of the striped DSP was placed across the front.
  • The greeting from Birthday Wit is stamped with Real Red on Whisper White, then hand-cut and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A few of the “whiter” green Glimmer Dots were scattered in the background.

 

Isn’t that fun?  I love that greeting and love the cheery colors!!!  OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did over on Create with Connie and Mary…you’ll love their ideas, I’m sure!
