IM89 – Itty Bitty Christmas

By | 1 Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! Oh, this is a YUMMY looking cupcake…well, at least the frosting looks yummy!  I’m not a chocolate cake fan…and this one looks really dark or maybe marbled.  Or maybe that is a chocolate cookie layer in between?  Anyway…I was inspired!

I went looking for a polka dot or circle designer paper print and ran across the new package of Feels Like Frost 6×6 Designer Paper.  I knew I could combine the dark navy color with Coastal Cabana to come pretty close to the cupcake inspiration!  And this was a SUPER simple card!

.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Coastal Cabana cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
    • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White.
    • The Feels Like Frost Designer Paper was cut to 3-3/4 x 5 and added tot he front.
    • A 1 x 4-1/2 strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock was added on top.
    • The reverse print of Silver/White Metallic Stripe is 1/2 x 4 and added on top.
    • Thinking of You At Christmas from Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy Ink and cut with the Stitched Shapes Circle, then added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A few Pearls were added to the greeting circle and the background for a little bling!

 

 

This would be a great card for mass producing…all the prints in this designer paper pack are gorgeous!  And, there are SO many nice greetings in the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set!  I especially love this one!  OK, make sure to check out what Mary did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

IM21 Itty Bitty Greetings

It’s time for Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  It’s a fun geometric inspiration this week!  I love the colors and thought immediately of Lovely Lipstick!  My next thought was that the new Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Specialty Paper would be PERFECT for this challenge…and Mary had the same thought, although our cards came out totally different!

 

So, here is what I came up using our newest In Color, Lovely Lipstick and a brand new small greeting set, Itty Bitty Greetings to replace Teeny Tiny Wishes…yeah!!!

Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut panel

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Lovely Lipstick cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • At the bottom of the base, a 1 x 5-1/2 piece of Lovely Lipstick In Color Designer Paper was added.
  • The Delightfully Detailed Laser panel was cut and added to a 3-1/2 x 5 piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock, then added to a 3-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic Black cardstock.
  • The greeting from Itty Bitty Greetings was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White and punched with the 1″ Circle Punch, then layered on a 1-1/8″ Scallop Circle punch of Basic Black.  It’s popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and place in one of the circles of the panel.

Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut

Really!  That’s all there is to it!!!  So simple, but dramatic with the laser-cut detail on there, isn’t it?

OK…go check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
