Stampin' Up!

CS83 – Cottage Rose

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Goodbye!  We will design our cards using this theme of retiring products!

COTTAGE ROSE

I think this is one of the prettiest Stampin’ Up! flower sets we’ve had.  I know I used it a LOT when it first came out.  I often grab it to make a get-well card because I love the feel better greeting in it!  I especially love how this turned out using the retiring Polished Pink color.  I’m SO going to miss it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 1-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of  Enjoy the Moment Designer Paper was added to the front.
  • The greeting from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink under the DSP.
  • The floral image from Cottage Rose was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored using a Water Painter and Polished Pink, Parakeet Party and Crushed Curry Ink Refills.  It was cut with the Cottage Flowers Dies.
  • Some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was looped a couple times and adhered to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The finished rose was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon.
  • A trio of Adhesive Backed Milky Dots were added to the background.

 

SO pretty and an easy card to whip out at the last minute…even with the little bit of coloring!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!

IM274 – Easter Bunny

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges.   We have some Easter cookies to inspire you.  Don’t they look yummy?

 

EASTER BUNNY

Yep…this week was kind of obvious for me to use the Easter Bunny Bundle.  But…I did go a little different direction by using brighter colors!  Stampin’ Up! just doesn’t have a true pastel pink color.  I keep hoping!  Both Petal Pink and Blushing Bride have too much brown in them for a true pink.

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 was embossed with the Online Exclusives, crosshatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder, then cut with the Radiating Stitches Die.  It was adhered to the front.
    • The bunnies were punched from two patterns in the Flowers & More Designer Paper (Host).
    • The greeting was stamped with Polished Pink Ink on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Something Fancy Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The bunnies were then added slightly over the label.
    • The flower clusters were stamped with Memento Black Ink, the colored with Fresh Freesia and Parakeet Party Blends.  They were hand-cut and added to the bunnies with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Two pink In Color Opal Rounds were added to the label.

So much fun!  I love how this turned out!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
