IM210 – Daffodil Daydream

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  Isn’t this a beautiful daffodil cake, perfect for a spring wedding or birthday?

 

DAFFODIL DAYDREAM

Another new set in the Jan-June Mini Catalog is the beautiful Daffodil Daydream Bundle!  I love the stamp images, but the dies are pretty awesome as well!  For this card, I opted to use just the stamps with the die to cut it out, and then the cute little butterfly dies.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder and added on top.
    • Two 1 x 3-1/4 pieces of Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper was added on the right side towards the bottom.
    • The daffodil cluster was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  It was cut with the Daffodil Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The Happy & Heartfelt greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink and cut with the Stitched Rectangle Die, then added across the stems with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow, then added under the greeting.
    • The butterfly was cut from Pale Papaya cardstock and the body from Flirty Flamingo cardstock and added to the background with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

I really love how this card turned out, especially the details of the Stitched Rectangle around the greeting and the Linen Thread.  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

CCMC697 – Flowering Rain Boots

By | Leave a Comment

Hello!  It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  We have a fun sketch this week for you to try!

FLOWERING RAIN BOOTS

This week I feel like spring has sprung.  Of course, I’m in Florida, so it is warmer here than in Ohio!  My kind of weather!  I am using one of my new Jan-June Mini Catalog bundles, Flowering Rain Boots on today’s card!  I thought the watering can would be a good substitute for the rectangle on the sketch.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pale Papaya cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
  • I used the diagonal print in the SAB Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper sized 2-1/4 x 4-3/4 and added towards thte left side.
  • A 1/2 x 3-1/4 strip of Pale Papaya cardstock was added towards the top.
  • The watering can was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink and the daisies with Pear Pizzazz Ink on Basic White, then cut with the Rainboots Dies.  The flowers were colored with Pale Papaya Combo Stampin’ Blends and the centers with Dark Flirty Flamingo Blends.  They were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Basic Gray Ink on 5/8 x 2-1/2 Basic White cardstock, then the end cut at an angle.
  • Some White Baker’s Twine was colored with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends, then tied in a bow and added to the watering can with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background.

Isn’t that a fun set?  LOVE it!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!
