CCMC572 – Seaside Notions

By | 1 Comment

Happy Thursday!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!  This time it is a fun sketch challenge…I love sketches!

 

I pulled out my Seaside Notions stamp set again…thought the shells would be perfect for the little circles! And, I love that mosaic designer paper!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 layer of Basic Black cardstock.
  • The mosaic DSP from Mosaic Mood Designer Paper is added on top.
  • The Stitched Circle was cut from Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped with Happy Birthday from Seaside Notions in Memento Black Ink towards the top.  It was layered on the Layering Scallop Circle cut from Basic Black cardstock.
  • The shells were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, then colored with Petal Pink and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends, then hand-cut and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 3/8 x 3-1/2 strip of Mint Macaron cardstock was adhered to a 1/2 x 3-5/8 strip of Basic Black and added to the front.
  • The Circle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added to the background.
  • A little Wink of Stella was added to the shells for a little sparkle.

Saturday Blog Hop – Dog Days of Summer

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop!  Last week we had Christmas, this week we are jumping back into summer with “Dog Days of Summer” challenge.  I just had to use my new Seaside Notions for this challenge…what says summer more than the beach?  This was also my swap for the Greek Isles Incentive Trip…did you get one?

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock.
  • The 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 layer of Very Vanilla cardstock was stamped in the corners with the speckle sand image in Seaside Notions stamp set with Crumb Cake Ink.
  • A 1-3/4 x 5-1/8 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock was added on front and also stamped with the sand image in Crumb Cake Ink.
  • A 3/4 x 5-1/8 piece of Noble Peacock Specialty DSP was added to the Crumb Cake stripe.
  • The greeting from Seaside Notions was stamped with Blueberry Bushel Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched with the Timeless Punch, then added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  It was also stamped off with the sand image and Crumb Cake Ink.
  • The Seahorse was stamped with Bermuda Bay Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored with the Light Mint Macaron Blends.  The shell was stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored with the Light Granny Apple Green Blends.  Both were hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of the Noble Peacock Rhinestones were added to the background.

This is a great little set to play with!  OK, continue on the “Dog Days of Summer” blog hop…next up is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa’s fabulous card!
