July 6, 2023 By Connie | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. The month of July we do our Case the Catalog Challenge! These are always fun, and we love to see what the Challenge Team comes up with! They can copy the color combo, the stamp set, the layout…or any combination of the above! Lots of creative expression.

DAINTY DELIGHT

I wanted to mimic the coloring aspect of the catalog sample but found I don’t have a lot of coloring stamps left! Funny how that changes over time! I pulled out Dainty Delight just so I could use my Stampin’ Blends like the catalog photo!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 3-3/4 x 5 piece of striped Vellum Basics was added on top.
The large Deckled Rectangle was cut with the dies from Basic White cardstock, then colored in the center with a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flower image was stamped on scrap Basic White cardstock with Memento Black Ink and colored with Berry Bliss Combo, Daffodil Delight Combo, Tranquil Tide Combo, Granny Apple Green Combo Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the dies and added to the deckled rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1 x 2-1/2 piece of Berry Bliss cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was tucked under the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of pink Tinsel Gems Four Pack were added to the background.

Love the same look, but still totally different! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary

CS73 – Dainty Delight

January 24, 2023 By Connie | 2 Comments

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…we are kicking off the new year with the theme of “LOVE”. Time to get ready for Valentine’s Day, right? We’ll create a simple card every Tuesday in January using that theme!

DAINTY DELIGHT

My first time using the new Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Bundle and I made a card that is mostly from the coordinating Dainty Flowers Designer Paper! I also used the Mini Pocket Envelope Die for the first time!

Stampin’ Details:

Base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder and added to the front.
A 3/4 x 4 piece of Dainty Flowers DSP was added across the front.
The Mini Pocket Envelope was cut with the die from the Dainty Flowers DSP, adhered together, then added to the front. This pocket is a perfect size for a gift card!
I made a small notecard by stamping the flower image with Old Olive Ink on a 1-3/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Basic White that is layered on a 2 x 3-1/2 piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock. It was colored with Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, and Starry Sky Stampin’ Blends, then tucked in the pocket.
The greeting from Dainty Delight stamp set was stamped on Old Olive cardstock with Starry Sky Ink, then cut with the scallop label from the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies.
The daisy flower was cut with the Dainty Delight Dies from Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the center from Starry Sky cardstock, then added to the front of the pocket.
A trio of gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background.

This was SUPER easy to make as the dies did most of the work! Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
