CCMC630 – Love of Leaves

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Thursday!  Today on Create with Connie and Mary, we are celebrating this year’s In Colors!  They play SO nicely together, we put ALL five of them in today’s CCMC color challenge!

I decided that Love of Leaves would be perfect to use with a different color for each leaf!  Kind of a playful twist on a traditional fall card!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 3 x 5-1/2 piece of Cinnamon Cider polka dot In Color Designer Paper.
  • The leaves were cut with the Stitched Leaves Dies from all five of the In Colors, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Aren’t they nice and colorful?  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals in a cluster.
  • Thank you was stamped with Cinnamon Cider Ink on 5/8 x 2-1/2 piece of Whisper White, then the end cut at an angle.
  • A trio of In Color Enamel Dots were added to the greeting and background.

SUPER simple card…the die cut leaves are doing all the work, but I LOVE the stitched look to them!  Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team’s designs over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite New In Color

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday!  This week our Design Team is showing off their FAVORITE new In Color!  I’ve known about this challenge “forever”, but still I procrastinated making my card!  I truly couldn’t decide which color was my favorite!  So…I broke the tie by figuring that Cinnamon Cider had been used the most because I had to reorder a new package of cardstock!  lol!  Of course, part of that was because I used it on a swap or two that I joined!

I’ve combined the new Cinnamon Cider color with a brand new bundle, Love of Leaves, that will be in the August-December catalog (no longer called Holiday).  Beginning next week, customers will be able to order from the catalog, too!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cinnamon Cider cardstock was embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • The 3 x 4-1/2 piece of Crumb Cake was embossed/cut with the new Stitched Leaves Die at the top…ca you see the textured lines?  VERY cool!
  • Along the bottom is a 3/4 x 3 piece of Flowers for All Seasons DSP.
  • The large leaf was cut with the Stitched Leaves Die and the outline Die (at the same time!) from Cinnamon Cider cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The two smaller leaves were also cut with the Stitched Leaves Dies and outline Dies from Brushed Copper Paper (NEW in the Aug-Dec catalog!)
  • The greeting from Love of Leaves was stamped with Cinnamon Cider Ink on Whisper White cardstock and cut with the Tasteful Labels Die, then added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (LOVE that those dies are SO versatile!).  The Brushed Copper leaves were tuck under the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Copper Metallic Ribbon (new Aug-Dec catalog) was tied in a bow around the stem.
  • A trio of Cinnamon Cider In Color Enamel Dots were added in the background.

Ok…does that show you enough of the Cinnamon Cider color that I LOVE?  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 Brenda’s fabulous card and see what everyone did with this challenge!
