CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Blackberry Bliss

April 23, 2016 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! This month we have been featuring the retiring In Colors and Blackberry Bliss is up this week!

I used some more of the Farmer’s Market Designer Paper for the background of my card, I love the Blackberry Bliss check! And, I used the Apple of My Eye Stamp Set to make up some plums for the front…they almost look real, don’t they?

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Blackberry Bliss, folded in half.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Farmer’s Market DSP in the Blackberry Bliss checked pattern.
Thank You from Apple of My Eye stamp set was stamped on the 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 Very Vanilla and then layered on the 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of Old Olive cardstock.
The “plum” from Apple of My Eye was inked up with Cherry Cobbler Ink, then using a sponge dauber to add Blackberry Bliss Ink to the edges of the plums. They were cut out by hand.
The leaves were inked with Old Olive then Mossy Meadow was added to the edges with the sponge dauber, and hand cut.
Before adhering the plums to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, loops of Gold Metallic Thread were added behind the plums for a bit of glimmer.
Finally, three Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots were added to the right side of the Very Vanilla strip for a little bling.

Supplies:

Stamps: Apple of My Eye

Inks: Blackberry Bliss, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Old Olive

Accessories: Farmer’s Market DSP, Regals Candy Dots, Gold Metallic Thread, Sponge Daubers, Stampin’ Dimensionals

OK, next up is the Create with Connie and Mary website to find out more about our April Mini Session…it’s not too late to join! Then continue on around the blog hop to Mary’s blog to see her Blackberry Bliss card…or go backwards for Melissa’s!

CCMC403 Birthday Blossoms

April 21, 2016 By Connie | 8 Comments

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! It’s a fun sketch this week, so we hope you’ll play along!

I took a little liberty with the shapes, as you are welcome to do. I am on a mission to use my Designer Paper packages before they all retire at the end of May, so I grabbed Farmer’s Market! lol!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Cherry Cobbler folded in half.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Very Vanilla.
The Lots of Labels Framelit cut the Cherry Cobbler Polka Dot pattern from Farmer’s Market DSP and was adhered on front.
The flowers from Birthday Blossoms stamp set were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on the Hello Honey print in Farmer’s Market, punched with the Pansy Punch and colored with the Gold Wink of Stella Brush.
The centers were stamped again on the Cherry Cobbler Polka Dot Print and handcut, then added to the center of the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flowers were placed on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The leaves were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Mossy Meadow (sob! It’s leaving soon!) and hand cut out, then tucked under the flowers.
Celebrate You from Birthday Blossoms stamp set was stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink.
I used the Gold Wink of Stella and my fingernail to flick some gold spots in the background.

I love how shimmery the Gold Wink of Stella makes this card! OK…make sure you check out the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Team to see what they did with the sketch! Some fun cards over there!

SUOC126 Oh Goodies!

This week on SUO Challenges, our theme is featuring Designer Paper on our projects! I love the prints and colors in the Farmers Market Designer Paper, so I pulled out that package to use on this challenge! I also used the greeting from Oh My Goodies to go along with it!

Here are the details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Hello Honey, folded in half.
The next “unseen” layer is 4 x 5-1/4 Very Vanilla. At the bottom is a 2 x 4 piece of the pear print in Farmers Market DSP, and at the top is a 3-1/4 x 4 piece of the green plaid print.
A length of Basic Black Satin Ribbon hides the seam and adheres in the back. Then the layer was adhered on the front.
The Thanks greeting from Oh My Goodies was stamped with Black Stazon on Hello Honey and cut with the Deco Labels Frametlits. It was stamped again on Old Olive and just the center Thanks banner cut out and adhered over the Hello Honey one. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
One of the pears in the DSP was cut out and adhered next to the greeting…another way to feature that DSP!

Isn’t it FUN…I love how it turned out! OK…now go check out the rest of the SUO Design Team at SUO Challenges to see what they came up with for this challenge!
