CCMC Preview and Blog Candy

Good morning, Friends! I hope you have been enjoying the Create with Connie and Mary Preview Week! Lots of fun stuff going on! I hope you are not missing out on the Blog Candy!! Today it's my turn to offer blog candy! Woohoo! I am SO excited to be a part of the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection! I just love new stuff and the new Stampin' Up! catalog is filled with so many wonderful new products! It was really hard to choose which sets I wanted to use for this collection. But I was able to narrow it down. Honeycomb Hello is one of my chosen sets!

  • Card Base is Whisper White cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and folded in half
  • Stamp the heart image from Honeycomb Hello randomly on the card base using Blushing Bride ink (some of the images are stamped without re-inking)
  • Use the Hexagon Hive thinlit to cut the shape from Whisper White (NOTE - use a piece of waxed paper between the card stock and the thinlit to make the removal of the card stock from the thinlit much easier)
  • Use paper snips to cut away the edges of the die cut
  • Adhere die cut to card base with dimensionals
  • Cut the heart shape from Whisper White using the Hearts Collection framelits
  • Stamp the ampersand image in Blushing Bride and the "you" and "me" stamps in Basic Grey onto the heart
  • Adhere heart to card with dimensionals
  • Stamp the heart image onto a piece of Whisper White and punch out with the itty bitty accents punch pack and adhere to card with dimensionals
  • Add a rhinestone to the small heart
