Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week’s inspiration is a beautiful tree with bright metallic colors!  So pretty!

I just had to use the Noble Peacock Foil Papers!  And decided to use the Most Wonderful Time tree!

Stampin’ Details:

• • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bermuda Bay cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was embossed with the Stylish Scrolls Embossing Folder.
  • A 1-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of the Old Olive Metallic Paper in Noble Peacock Foil Paper was added down the middle.
  • The 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Pretty Peacock Metallic Paper was added on top.
  • The 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Blueberry Bushel Metallic Paper was next.
  • The tree was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink on Garden Green cardstock and cut with the Most Wonderful Time Die.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The presents were stamped with Bermuda Bay and the bows with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink on top, then cut with the Dies and added to the base of the tree with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Noble Peacock Jewels were added to the tree.
  • The star was cut with the Dies from Gold Glimmer Paper and added on top with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Happy Thursday!!!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary challenge!  It’s a fun color challenge this week!

These colors look “frosty” to me…so I went with the Most Wonderful Time stamp set again this week for my card!  If you haven’t checked out this Most Wonderful Time Product Medley, you really should!!!  LOTS of awesome goodies in this kit!  I know…trees aren’t normally “navy”, but when we are being creative, they can be any color, right???

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Seaside Spray cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White was cut with the Stitched Rectangle die.
• The greeting was stamped with Night of Navy Ink at the bottom of the Whisper White panel.  It was popped up on the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Inside the rectangle, the stars were stamped with Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink randomly.
• A 1 x 3 strip of Whisper White cardstock was torn across the top and then added inside the window for a snow bank.
• The tree was stamped with Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink on Night of Navy cardstock, then cut with the Most Wonderful Time Dies.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The star was cut from Gray Granite cardstock, then sponged with Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink on the raised areas.  It was added to the top of the tree with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
• Three Peacock Rhinestones were added to the star and background frame!

SO cool!  I love making these “frame” cards!  OK…check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color combination over on Create with Connie and Mary!!!  Thanks for stopping by!
