Here's a quick and easy card using a couple punches and the Deco Label Framelits! The Postage Stamp Punch is one that I haven't used much, but it looks awesome with the Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper for the background!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 of Pool Party cardstock, folded in half with the fold on the left side…just a little different way!
Cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic Black cardstock for the background layer.
Punch 10 Postage Stamp squares from Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (you don't need the two in the center). Start placing the end ones first, then fill in towards the centers.
Cut the second from smallest Deco Label Framelit from Pool Party cardstock and place in the center.
Stamp You're Lovely image with Black Stazon on Whisper White and cut out with the smallest Deco Label Framelit.
Watercolor the image with Summer Starfruit and Pear Pizzazz Markers. Add the Pool Party greeting from Petite Pairs (or use one of the greetings in the You're Lovely set). Pop up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Punch 3 Petite Petals flowers from Summer Starfruit cardstock. Add to front around label and place Rhinestones in the center.

Really, the hardest part is getting the background squares lined up! The You're Lovely stamp set and Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper are FREE Sale-a-Bration selections when you purchase $50 or more! See my 40% off ADHESIVE SALE to stock up AND get your choice of SAB products as a BONUS!!!

SUOC92 You’re Lovely

March 11, 2014 By Connie | 3 Comments

This week on SUO Challenges, we have a color combination of using Pinks and Purples. Can can be either or both combined! I went with the combination of both on my card! I've seen several different versions of these fringe scissor cards online, and I also did a different one for our Club last month! I love how the cardstock looks ruffled. So, here's my pink and purple combination.

Here are some details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White folded in half.
I used Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush, Rose Red and Rich Razzleberry for the layers and fringed the bottoms with the Fringe Scissors about 1" from the bottom. They are adhered together and then placed on the front of the base.
I added a piece of the Strawberry Slush Ruffled Ribbon to hide the seam at the top.
I stamped the You're Lovely image from the Sale-A-Bration set in Rich Razzleberry ink, then cut out with the Deco Label Framelit. I also cut a solid Rich Razzleberry one to adhere behind the stamped image. Both are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I colored the flowers in the image with Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz markers.
Finally, I added two Rose Red Candy Dots above the ribbon on the left side.

Week 2 Spring Collection Challenge

February 1, 2014 By Connie | 2 Comments

It's the end of Week 2 of the Create with Connie and Mary Spring Collection and we've had fun showing off the Sale-A-Bration products this week in our project tutorials. Now it is time for our Saturday Challenge. We have a fun color challenge this week! Love the soft colors and hope they put you in the mind of Spring!

Here's my card using You're Lovely in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I also used the beautiful Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper that is another option for Sale-A-Bration!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Sahara Sand, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Pistachio Pudding cardstock.
On it, I added 1 3/4 x 3 1/4 pieces of Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, rounding the two corners on each piece.
Over those, I added a 1 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of coordinating Sweet Sorbet DSP and rounded all four corners.
I stamped the floral image with Black Stazon, then watercolored with Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe markers and my AquaPainter. I added the Live Happy greeting in Black Stazon, too.
That was cut with the Deco Label Framelit. Then I matted it by cutting two more Framelits the same size, cutting one in half lengthwise and one in half vertically, then spaced them so it created a mat.
My final touch was to add Sahara Sand Candy Dots on the horizonal pieces.
