By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a wonderful festive wreath!

 

I love the colors and used them on my card along with the Everything Festive stamp set.

 

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red  cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock.
    • A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of the Let it Snow DSP striped paper was added down the left side.
    • Another 1-1/4 x 4-3/4 piece of Let it Snow DSP with the red snow flurry print was added to the front.
    • A 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Red Glimmer Paper was added down the left side.
    • The Real Red 1/8 Curly Ribbon was tied around the Coastal Cabana and tied in a bow.
    • The greeting was inked with Real Red, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana Markers and stamped on Whisper White cardstock, then cut with the Stitched Shape Oval.  It was added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A trio of red Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots was added to the front for a little bling.

Pretty simple card, but I love the bright, cheerful colors and think I nailed the wreath inspiration, don’t you?  OK…check out what Mary did over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Saturday Blog Hop – Non-Traditional Christmas Colors

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop and one of my favorite themes…non-traditional Christmas Colors!  It is always fun to see unusual holiday decoration colors!  I used Christmas Gleaming stamp set and punches and let the Bird Ballad Designer Paper dictate the colors of Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Old Olive and Gold!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock, embossed with the Stylish Scrolls Embossing Folder.
  • A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Bird Ballad Designer Paper was added on top.
  • A 1/4 x 4 strip of Gold Foil Paper was added across the front.
  • The largest Stitched Shape Oval was cut from Whisper White and added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The large ornament from Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set was stamped with Calypso Coral Ink on Blushing Bride cardstock and punched.  The small ornament was stamped with Calypso Coral on Pool Party and punched.
  • The tops of the ornaments were watercolored with the Delicata Golden Glitz Ink and the body of the ornaments with Wink of Stella.  They were added to the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A Gold Glitter Enamel Dot was added to the center of the small ornament.
  • White Baker’s Twine was tied in a bow and added to the top of the ornaments.
  • The holly was stamped with Old Olive Ink on Whisper White cardstock, then colored with the Light Old Olive and Light Calypso Coral Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Wink of Stella was added to the holly.
  • The greeting in Christmas Gleaming was stamped with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink and hand cut, then added over the holly.

Definitely some non-traditional colors are used here!  OK, go check out the rest of the Design Team to see they did with the “Non-traditinoal Christmas colors” Blog Hop Challenge this week!

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Thursday!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch this week…and each of the designer’s cards are totally different!

 

Here’s what I did using Sticker Candy Cane pieces and Designer Paper from the Wonderful Time of Year Product Medley and Itty Bitty Christmas greeting.  It came together REALLY quickly!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is 4 x 5-1/4 layer of the stars design in Wonderful Time of Year Designer Paper.
  • The largest Stitched Shape Circle was cut from Whisper White cardstock and stamped with the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set greeting in Real Red Ink in the upper right corner.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 1/4 x 6 strip of Real Red cardstock was added diagonally across the bottom of the circle on front and trimmed.
  • A 1/2 x 3-1/2 strip of coordinating stripe paper in Wonderful Time of Year was added on top of the Real Red strip.
  • A 1/2 x 2-1/4 strip of Gold Metallic Paper was added on top of the other strips.
  • Two candy cane Stickers from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley were added to the circle.
  • A White Baker’s Twine bow was added to the candy canes with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • Two Gold Glitter Enamel Dots were added above the circle in the background.

 

I love how quick this was to put together…need to make up a few more with this group of products!  Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week with the sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Maui Achievers Blog Hop – November 2019

By | 1 Comment

 

Our Stampin’ Up! Maui Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop!  I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s Maui trip!  This month’s blog hop theme is ANYTHING CURRENT!  I used a stamp set that the Achievers received on the Greek Isles Incentive Trip, Toile Christmas.  Even though it is a BEAUTIFUL stamp set, I haven’t used it all that much…so I’m on a mission to make up some things with it!

I found these galvanized metal ornaments after Christmas last year at our At Home store at a super cheap cost!  I knew I had to grab some and do something with them this year!  I knew this stamp set would be PERFECT on top!

TOILE CHRISTMAS

The ornament is just shy of 4 x 4, not including the jute handle.

Stampin’ Details:

  • A 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Most Wonderful Time Designer Paper was added to a 3-3/8 x 3-3/8 piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and adhered to the ornament.
  • The cardinal from Toile Christmas stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored with Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler Blends, with a Mango Melody beak.  It was cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die.
  • The leaf branches were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink and colored with Light Granny Apple Green and Light Cherry Cobbler Blends.  They were cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die.
  • Two solid leaf branches were cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock and Snowfall Accents Puff Paint added to the tops of the leaves.
  • Christmas Wishes from Toile Christmas stamp set was stamped with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink on Whisper White and cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die, too.
  • The cardinal, greeting, and branches were all added on top of the background designer paper with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Wink of Stella was added to the berries for a little more sparkle.

Wouldn’t that be beautiful to hang on your Christmas tree?  I think this one will go to my mom…she loves cardinals!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store! Please use my November Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself!

Saturday Blog Hop – Christmas Treat or Favor

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop! This week our theme is a Christmas Treat or Favor!  Those that follow me, know that small favors and treats are my FAVORITE things to do!  I made a bunch of these single serve “Mug Cake” holders for my craft show today.  Hope I sell out!  I think they turned out super CUTE!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Coastal Cabana cardstock, scored at 5-1/4 and 5-1/2 and folded.  Trim the top of one edge with the large Layering Ovals Die.
  • Using the cut off partial oval, and a smaller oval die, cut the handle.  Adhere to the back (inside) of the front cup.
  • Corner round the top corners on the back portion.
  • Stamp the front with Snowman Season snowflakes in Coastal Cabana Ink randomly.
  • A 1-3/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Whisper White is stamped with the Cup of Christmas greeting in Real Red Ink and adhered to the front.
  • The cup base was cut from Real Red cardstock and the striped decoration with Coastal Cabana cardstock with the Cup of Cheer Dies and adhered together, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Since the Mug Mix was Caramel Brownie Mix, I hand-cut the “cake” shape from Early Espresso cardstock and added it behind the top of the cup.  Add a Clear Epoxy Dot to the “cake”.  (I used a retired Heart, but the circles are still available and would be just as cute.)
  • Tie the Real Red 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon around the entire cup, tie a knot, then add the wood spoon (Amazon had these teal chevron ones).  I stamped the spoon with “Enjoy” from Cup of Christmas in Real Red Ink on the handle.

Isn’t that a FUN little gift?  I’ll tuck in a gift card for my mailman and UPS driver!  SO sweet!  OK, go check out the rest of the Design Team to see they did with the “Christmas Favor or Treat” Blog Hop Challenge this week! 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’s fabulous card!

CCMC587 – Snow Front

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Thursday!!!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge…a beautiful color combination this week!

Although the colors are beautiful for fall and leaves, I thought I’d try to step out of the box a little and use my new Snow Front stamp set.  It’s not just for winter!  The deer remind me of the ones that come visit the woods behind us every night.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pretty Peacock cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was stamped with the “sprinkle” stamp in Snow Front and Crumb Cake Ink in the upper left and lower right corners.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Come to Gather Designer Paper was added across the front.
  • Some Linen Thread was wrapped around twice and tied in a knot on the left side.
  • The mountains from Snow Front were stamped and stamped off with Cajun Craze Ink towards the top of the 2-1/2 x 3-3/4 piece of cardstock.  The ground and cabin stamped next with Crumb Cake Ink.  The trees were stamped and stamped off with Pretty Peacock Ink.  The deer were stamped with Crumb Cake, then darkened with the Bronze Stampin’ Blends.
  • The Whisper White panel was added to a 2-3/4 x 4 piece of Cajun Craze cardstock, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Let’s Celebrate You from Itty Bitty Birthdays was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink above the “scene”.

I love this set…really easy to create fun looking landscapes!  Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color combination over on Create with Connie and Mary!
