Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “MONOCHROMATIC CARDS”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday in August using that theme!
Sit, Stay, Relax is a cute Host Set that I used on today’s card with my favorite new In Color, Orchid Oasis!
SIT, STAY, RELAX

- Base is 4 1/4 x 11 Orchid Oasis cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- I added 3 x 5 In Color Designer Paper to the right side of the background.
- Basic White – 1 3/4 x 4 1/4 add across the front and stamp the chairs on scrap Basic White.
- Orchid Oasis c/s – 1/2 x 4-1/4, stamped in Versamark and embossed with White Embossing Powder.
- Add some Iridescent Pearls, add 3 to front.
How sweet is the natural beauty of this APPLE HARVEST STAMP SET? The simple line art of the images will remind you of apple picking on a crisp fall day and are perfect for coloring! But the heartfelt sentiments can be used throughout the year. We’ve combined the APPLE HARVEST STAMP SET with the fun and colorful GINGHAM COTTAGE DESIGNER PAPER in this Collection. It has three card designs…including a unique fun fold…and a great gift-giving 3D project – JUST IN TIME FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! See more details HERE!
