By | 1 Comment

This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “On the Table”.  What is on YOUR table?  I know I’d LOVE to see a pie on mine!  lol!  I used Stampin’ Up!’s Sweets & Treats stamp set and combined it with the Cookin’ Dies for my card.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of striped Penguin Playmates (free SAB designer paper) was added to the bottom of the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock.
  • The stand and pie from Sweets & Treats stamp set were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with the Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.  They were hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The cutting board was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock with the Cookin’ Dies.
  • The heart from Sweets & Treats was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Fresh Freesia cardstock, then hand-cut and added to the cutting board with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the background.
  • A bow was tied from Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and added to the handle of the cutting board with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • A Fresh Freesia In Color Jewel was added next to the heart.
  • Some Wink of Stella was added to the stand so it looks like glass.

I love the colors in this stripe DSP!  OK, 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 Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

CCMC681 – Quiet Meadow

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.  I love this week’s sketch!  I already have several more ideas that I want to try using it!  But…first…I knew the Queen Anne’s Lace DSP in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper was going to be perfect for it.

QUIET MEADOW

The only stamping on here is the greeting.  The rest is the gorgeous Blackberry Beauty DSP.  I have to be honest…the DSP is SOOOO much prettier in person than the pictures in the catalog!  When I first saw it, I wasn’t fond of the color combination at all, but I’ve completely changed my mind!  And, most of the designs have a metallic shimmer to them.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • Three 1-1/4 x 4 strips of the Blackberry Beauty DSP were added to the background.
  • The center Blackberry Beauty DSP piece is 3 x 5 and was adhered on top.
  • The greeting from Quiet Meadow stamp set was stamped on Rich Razzleberry cardstock with Early Espresso Ink and cut with the Harvest Die.
  • The greeting piece was added to a 1/4 x 2-1/2 strip of Gold Metallic Paper and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some simply Elegant Trim was tied in a bow and added to the Queen’s Lace flower stem for a little bling.

I think I’ll be making up several of these as Sympathy cards!  So quick and easy, but gorgeous!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Creatively Simple 1 – Delicate Dahlias

By | 1 Comment

Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s FIRST Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “Hello” and create a simple card each week using that theme!  Now…you know me…less is NOT more in my book!  My cards tend to be more advanced!  But…I promised Mary that I would give it a try!  lol!  I just have to remember to take things OFF that I want to use!  So…here goes with my FIRST Creatively Simple card challenge!

I used Stampin’ Up!’s free Sale-A-Bration set, Delicate Dahlias, for my card today…in fact I made TWO using different colors!  You’ll need to tell me which one you prefer!  The first uses some fall flower colors!  And the Double Oval Punch frames the greeting from Biggest Wish.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Early Espresso is added to the front.
  • The 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Basic White was stamped with the Delicate Dahlia stamp in Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee Inks around the edges.
  • Hello from Biggest Wish was stamped with Early Espresso Ink and stamped on scrap Basic White cardstock, then punched with the Oval using the Double Oval Punch.  The scallop oval was punched from Early Espresso cardstock.  The ovals were adhered together, then added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Champagne Rhinestones were added to the background.

Here’s the second version using Misty Moonlight and Flirty Flamingo Inks…more of a summer look, I think!  In this one I used the larger block HELLO from Biggest Wish in the center without using a punch.  A trio of Holiday Rhinestones in the background.

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week we have a cute little kitty for our inspiration!  This one was rather obvious to me…of course I had to use my Clever Cats stamp set!

 

CLEVER CATS

I changed the box up with some bright colors!  I’ve used my new Blackberry Beauty DSP for the first time!  My gray cat, Bleach, always loved to play in boxes!  I miss her!  We’ve been on the lookout for another female ginger kitten…maybe someday!

Stampin’ Details:

    • On top is a 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
    • The 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 piece of Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper was added on top.
    • A 1/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock was added to the bottom of a 1-3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Polished Pink cardstock that was stamped with the greeting from Clever Cats in Memento Black Ink.
    • Some White Glittery Ribbon was wrapped around and tied in a knot on the front.  Then it was added to the front.
    • The cat in the box was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White and cut with the Layering Circles Die.  The box was colored with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends and the eyes with Light Granny Apple Green Blends.  The circle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Saturday Blog Hop – In The Garden

By | 4 Comments

This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “In the Garden”.  Do you have a garden?  What grows in it?  I’m totally in LOVE with Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration set “Delicate Dahlias”, and I’d love a BIG garden full of them!  Sadly, I don’t really have room except in the back yard, and I’m sure the deer would find them very tasty back there!  lol!

DELICATE DAHLIAS

When I looked online, I was amazed at ALL the different colors of dahlias there are!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bumblebee cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White is stamped several times in the center with the swoosh from Artistically Inked in Soft Succulent Ink, and then speckles stamped and stamped off around it.
  • The Delicate Dahlias outline flower was stamped with Blackberry Bliss and another with Cinnamon Cider Ink.  The insides were stamped with Blackberry Bliss and Bumblebee Inks.  They were hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped twice with Evening Evergreen Ink outline and stamped off Evening Evergreen inside.  They were hand-cut and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Evening Evergreen Ink on 3/4 x 2 piece of Soft Succulent cardstock, the end cut at an angle and tucked in the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Evening Evergreen In Color Jewels were added to the background.

I love these fall dahlia colors!  OK, 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 Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week we have a pretty country kitchen!  I have always loved yellow and blue color schemes for bedrooms, but this is gorgeous!

DELICATE DAHLIAS STAMP SET

I’m pretty obsessed with the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set (free SAB with purchase!) and used it once again on today’s card!  It just is SO easy to make pretty flowers with it!

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Midnight Muse cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
    • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock.
    • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White is embossed with the Timeworn Embossing Folder.
    • A 1-1/4 x 5 piece of Harvest Meadow Designer Paper was added across the front.
    • The dahlia flower was stamped with Bumblebee Ink for the outline an Daffodil Delight Ink for the center.  It was hand cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The leaves were stamped with Pear Pizzazz Ink for the outline, then stamped off Pear Pizzazz Ink for the inside.  They were also hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The greeting from Delicate Dahlias was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink on 1 x 3 piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, the end cut at an angle, then tucked under the flower.
    • In the center are three Blue Gilded Gems.

This free SAB stamp set (with $50 purchase) is one of my very FAVORITE this time!  Aren’t these colors gorgeous together? OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
