By | Leave a Comment

This month our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop is featuring blog hop themes from popular Christmas carols.  This week is the song “Winter Wonderland” and will run for TWO WEEKS so our Design Team can enjoy the holidays!  We’ll be back on January 1st!  Wishing you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CLOCHE DIES

I love the little tree dies in the Cloche Dies Set, so knew I had to create a little winter “scene” with them!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Smoky Slate cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Silver Metallic Paper is added down the center.
  • A 3-1/4 x 3-1/2 piece of the snowflake pattern in Peaceful Place Designer Paper has a 1 x 3-1/4 piece of Basic White cut on a curve for the “snowbank” at the bottom.  It is added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Snowbody Better was stamped with Basic Gray Ink on the snowbank.
  • The trees were cut from Basic White cardstock and Silver Metallic Paper and added along the top of the snowbank with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The birch trees adhered in the back.
  • Some silver Simply Elegant Trim was tied in a knot and added to the larger tree with a Mini Glue Dot.

I wish you could really appreciate all the silver accents on this card!  SO pretty! 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!

Creatively Simple 15 – Christmas

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Christmas” and we each create a simple card every week using that theme!  We are definitely on the countdown to Christmas now!

The Classic Cloche Bundle was added late to my stash, but I really LOVE it!  The two (three) step stamping make it EASY to create detailed looking images like this one!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Real Red cardstock is added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White was stamped with the houses from Classic Cloche Stamp Set outline image in Memento Black Ink, then the tree background in Soft Sea Foam Ink, then the houses in Real Red Ink.  They are SO easy to line up!
  • Some Wink of Stella was added to the roofs and ground for a little sparkle.
  • The greeting from Classic Cloche stamp set was also stamped in Memento Black.
  • Some Wonderful Gems were added to the background for a little bling!

 

 

I really don’t have ANY suggestions on how to make this even simpler!   This would make an EXCELENT last minute card making option!  Make sure to check out what Mary did this week for her “Christmas” Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!  Stay tune next week for another Creatively Simple card!
