CCMC600 – Timeless Tropical

By | Leave a Comment

Hello Thursday!  Getting closer to the weekend!  There is another sketch for you to try this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Since there is such a big background element on this sketch, I decided to use the car print in the Tropical Oasis Designer Paper!  I LOVE that print and didn’t want to chop it up…but it has to get used!  Of course, most of Stampin’ Up!’s designer paper is almost too pretty to use!  lol!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party has been embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.
  • The 3 x 4 piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Paper was layered on a 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 piece of Early Espresso cardstock, then added to the front of the card.
  • A 1/4 x 4-1/4 strip of Early Espresso was placed towards the bottom of the DSP.
  • The 3/4 x 3-1/4 reverse print in Tropical Oasis DSP was added to the front according to the sketch.
  • Thank You from Timeless Tropical stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White and cut with the Stitched So Sweeting Die.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Pineapple image was colored on the rubber with Crushed Curry and Garden Green Stampin’ Write Markers, then colored in with So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz Markers.  It was cut with the In The Tropics die and added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A mint Holiday Rhinestone Jewel was added next to the greeting for a little bling.

I should have made this a birthday card because my hubby would love this car DSP!  Oh well!  Make sure you check out the rest of the Challenge Team ideas over on Create with Connie and Mary!

IM111 – So Sentimental

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a trio of chairs…love the color combination, so that is what I used as inspiration.

And…what do the colors remind me of?  Bees, of course!  I used the FABULOUS Golden Honey Designer Paper…it’s a FREE Sale-A-Bration selection with a $50 order!  The paper actually has just black and white bees, so a little bit of Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends magic added some color to the bee bodies and stripes!  I also used the greeting and dies from So Sentimental Bundle.  If you would purchase the Bundle, plus some ribbon or gems, you would get the designer paper FREE!  I’d love to place an order for you!

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crushed Curry cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
    • The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Golden Honey Designer Paper was colored with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and added to the front.
    • A 3/4 x 5-1/2 piece of black/white stripe from Golden Honey DSP was colored with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, too, added to a 1 x 5-1/2 piece of Basic Black cardstock, then added to the front.
    • The greeting from So Sentimental was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
    • It was layered on a larger Stitched So Sweetly Die cut from Crushed Curry cardstock.
    • Some Linen Thread was wrapped in a circle, then added behind the greeting label with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A bee was cut out of the DSP and added to the front by the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • His wings were colored with Wink of Stella for a little sparkle!

 

OK…I love how this turned out…even without using the Honey Bee Bundle!  (There is a die that cuts out this bee!) lol! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite SAB product

By | Leave a Comment

Well…my first favorite SAB product is probably the Golden Honey Designer Paper!  However, since that is on “non-orderable” status, I decided to feature the Thoughtful Blooms and Small Bloom Punch which is my second favorite for the first release of SAB (I don’t have any of the second release items yet…lol!)  I originally made this card for my SU Trip Achievers Swap a few months ago!

THOUGHTFUL BLOOMS & SMALL BLOOMS PUNCH

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Flirty Flamingo cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form base card.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Smoky Slate is embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.
  • A 1 x 5 strip of From My Heart Specialty Designer Paper (see it isn’t JUST for Valentine’s Day!) was added to a 1/4 x 5 strip of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, then added on the front.
  • Whisper White was cut with the Stitched Shapes Oval and stamped with the greeting from Thoughtful Blooms on the right side in Memento Black Ink.  The vine was stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink on the left side, then the sprinkles with Flirty Flamingo Ink.
  • The flower in Thoughtful Blooms was stamped with Poppy Parade on Flirty Flamingo cardstock three times and punched with the Small Bloom Punch.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • In the centers of the flowers are three Nobel Peacock Rhinestones.

Love the metallic look on that DSP and those sweet flowers!  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’s favorite SAB item! See what everyone did with this challenge!

CCMC599 – Heartfelt

By | Leave a Comment

Another Thursday is rolling by and the end of another week!  We are in the middle of February, too!  Spring will soon be here!  This week’s Color Challenge is great for Valentines…I made this one for my husband!

This was the first time I used the Detailed Hearts Die…but I’m sure not the last!  I’m working ahead on projects, but I’m sure I’ll use it for my Stamp Club in January.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Whisper White, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The Detailed Hearts Die was cut from Real Red cardstock and another from Flirty Flamingo cardstock.  I’ll use the Flirty Flamingo Diecut on another card, but saved some of the cut-out hearts to fill in a few hearts randomly on this card.
  • A 1-3/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Basic Gray gingham in the Neutrals Designer Paper Pack was added across the front.
  • The Happy Valentine’s Day heart from Heartfelt Stamp Set was stamped with Real Red Ink on Whisper White and punched with the solid Heart Duo Punch.  It was layered on the Scallop Heart punched from Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
  • Sandwiched in between the two hearts is the arrow, stamped with Basic Gray Ink on Whisper White and hand-cut.  The Hearts are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered to the front.
  • Had to have a little bling, so a Real Red Rhinestone was added over one of the small hearts.

 

This is a pretty easy card, except for adding the little hearts into the framed hearts!  I love how it turned out and I’m sure my hubby will like it, too!  Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary to see what they did with this color challenge!

IM110 – Clubhouse

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is some great looking cupcakes for the golfer in your life!

Of course, Stampin’ Up! has the PERFECT stamp set to use for this inspiration challenge…Clubhouse!  Think Mary planned it that way when she picked this photo?  lol!  Anyway, here is what I came up with.  I’m so happy to get this golfing set…both my boys play, so it will be perfect for them.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was added on top. (I should have embossed with the Argyle Embossing folder, but I forgot and wasn’t going to tear it all apart!)
    • A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of the golf ball/tee print from Country Club Designer Paper was added on top.
    • A 1/2 x 4 piece of the reverse side plaid was added across the front.
    • The Country Club Twine in Poppy Parade was added across the bottom of the DSP and secured in the back of the Crumb Cake layer.  Then the layer was added to the front.
    • The golf ball/tee was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched with the 2″ Circle Punch.  It was colored with Light Poppy Parade, Light Smoky Slate, and Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.
    • It was layered on the Starburst Circle punched from Night of Navy cardstock.  Then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The greeting was stamped with Garden Green Ink on scrap Crumb Cake, then cut with the Golf Club Dies.
    • The greeting was stamped again on scrap Whisper White cardstock with Poppy Parade Ink, and the “Greatest Guy” banner hand-cut and placed on the Die piece with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

DId you catch that the circles are to represent the cupcakes?  Clever, right? lol!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

CCMCC598 – Timeless Tropical

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Thursday everyone!!!  Hope your week is going great!  We have a fun sketch for you this week over on Create with Connie and Mary’s Thursday Challenge!  Come play along!

This card came together pretty easily…mainly because I had several of the elements done and sitting on my desk from other projects!  I had a few of these pineapples from In The Tropics Dies left over from I swap I did, so that became the focus of my card.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party Cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 3 x 4-1/2 piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Paper Pool Party print was added to the left side.
  • The 3/4 x 3-1/2 of coordinating floral print in the Tropical Oasis Designer Paper was added over top.
  • The 1/4 x 3-3/4 Shaded Spruce cardstock strip placed on top.
  • The pineapple from the In The Tropics Die was cut from Mango Melody cardstock, then glued on a piece of Pineapple Punch cardstock.  It was hand-cut around the shape and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The top of the pineapple was cut with the die from Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then sponged with Shaded Spruce Ink.  It was shaped and then added about 1/2 inch above the pineapple on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped on a 3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock with Shaded Spruce Ink, then the sides torn.  It was added over the gap on the pineapple.
  • A trio of green Holiday Rhinestones (did you know these carried over????  I’m SO happy they did!) was added to the background.

LOVE it!  OK…check out the rest of the Challenge Team over at Create with Connie and Mary to see what they did with this sketch challenge this week!  SO many great ideas!

IM109 – Dressed to Impress

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a set of pretty packages!

I knew right away that I wanted to use the Best Dressed tassels, so my card developed from there using mostly designer paper with a tiny bit of stamping!  But I scrapped my first look in favor of this one (maybe I’ll show the first one some day!  lol!)

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petal Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake was embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.
    • A floral print and polka dot print from Best Dressed Designer Paper were cut to 2-1/2 x 3-3/4.
    • The Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon was wrapped top to bottom and side to side to look like package ribbon and the “package” added over the floral one with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Two Best Dressed Tassels were tied with White Baker’s twine in bow around the ribbon.
    • Hello Fabulous from Dressed to Impress stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Petal Pink cardstock and punched with the 1-1/2 Circle, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Two Champagne Rhinestones finish it off!

To me it looks like a stack of presents…do you think so?  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
