Good morning, Friends! It's Thursday and the Create with Connie and Mary team has a great challenge for you all to try!! This week we are being challenged with a sketch. Take a look!
A very clean and simple sketch that is just right up my alley!! I was so super excited for this one that I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do! So many ideas and they were all getting muddled together. So I sat down and used the color challenge (Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Lucky Limeade) at Splitcoast to help me focus. And here is what I came up with!
I kept my card pretty clean and simple - just like the sketch. I adhered a strip of the Sycamore Street designer paper to a card base of Whisper White. Then I embossed a panel of Whisper White with the Honeycomb embossing folder and popped it up onto the card base. A strip of Tangerine Tango is adhered to this. Then I stamped the leaf from Just Believe in Lucky Limeade onto a Whisper White circle that was cut using the Circles #2 die. This is adhered to a scallop circle of Lucky Limeade that was punched with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and then it is popped up onto the card. Then I stamped the greeting in Tangerine Tango onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged the end. This is then adhered to the card. Finally, I took a flower button from the Brights collection and tied some white baker's twine through it and adhered it to the card.
Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see more inspiration from the very talented design team! I hope you will play along with us this week! We always are inspired by your creations!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Friday morning everyone! Are you ready for a great weekend? I do hope you will be able to play along with us at Sketch Frenzy Friday. This week's sketch is provided by Maria Vanderform. Take a look!
And my card...
I did leave out one circle and the three elements in the corner. I just ran out of room. But my inspiration still came from her sketch. I started with a piece of Pear Pizzazz. To this I adhered a piece of designer paper from Pocketful of Posies and then glued this to a piece of Rich Razzleberry. Around this panel I tied a piece of Pear Pizzazz seam binding ribbon and then popped up this panel onto a Pear Pizzazz card base. Then I stamped the circle image from Just Believe in Pear Pizzazz onto Whisper White card stock, punched these out with the 1 3/8" circle punch and popped them up on the card. I stamped the greeting in Rich Razzleberry and used the Modern Label punch to punch it out and adhered this to the card. Then I punched three flowers from Rich Razzleberry using the itty bitty shapes punch pack and added a rhinestone to each.

Good morning everyone! I hope your week is going great! Only one more day till Friday!! So it is time for another super fun challenge at Create with Connie and Mary! This week we are being challenged with color. Take a look!
Sahara Sand, Night of Navy and Peach Parfait are the colors of choice for this week's challenge. Aren't they pretty? And it's time to use up the Peach Parfait as it will be going away this year. I have enjoyed using this color, too! It looks really good with the others. Take a look at what I came up with.
I took inspiration from a challenge at CASE Study that was posted quite a while ago. A very clean and simple card! My card base is Sahara Sand to which I adhered a strip of Sahara Sand designer paper from the Neutrals stack. Then I took another piece of Sahara Sand and stamped the image from Just Believe in Sahara Sand and the greeting in Night of Navy. I punched a strip of Night of Navy card stock with the dotted ribbon scallop punch and adhered it to the back of the panel and popped it up onto the card. Then I took a piece of Peach Parfait and ran it through the Big Shot with the Beautiful Wings embosslit. I added a mini brad before adhering it to the card.
I do hope you will visit the Create with Connie and Mary site to get more inspiration from all the fabulous designers! Then be sure to create your own project using these colors and upload it so we can all see! We love it when you play along! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning everyone! And happy Leap Year! Boy did this month just fly by! And the week is going by quickly, too! It has been good so far!
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Stamping 411. Specifically, I was inspired by Tammy Fite's card. I loved the way she incorporated the Doily die with the sketch. And I haven't used my Doily die all that much so I set out to see what I could do! I wanted to keep it really simple and so I ended up with a black and white card. I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and wrapped a piece of Basic Black satin ribbon around it. I stamped the greeting from Just Believe in the lower right hand corner in black StazOn. Then I adhered it to a card base of Whisper White. Then I took another piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Big Shot with the Doily die. I popped this up onto the card. I used the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and punched Basic Black card stock and the circles #2 die to cut a Whisper White circle. I stamped the stem from Just Believe in black StazOn onto the circle (twice). The circle is adhered to the scallop and the scallop is popped up onto the doily. I added two rhinestones under the greeting and called it done! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
Card Recipe: Stamps- Just Believe; Paper- Whisper White, Basic Black; Ink- black StazOn; Accessories- Basic Black satin ribbon, Doily die, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, circles #2 die, rhinestones, dimensionals
Good morning, Friends! I am finally back to posting again. We had some technical difficulties to deal with but I think that they are taken care of now. At least I hope so! I am truly done with my Christmas shopping - yea!! Now to wrap and enjoy the last few days remaining until Christmas! Nick has finished up his last quarter requirements and is waiting for break to start. I still can't believe how fast time has gone!!
Today's card was one that I did with my stamp club/mystery hostess workshop on Monday. I tried to stay away from Christmas cards at this workshop. I hadn't planned on going in a 'spring' direction either but I still liked how this one turned out! I took a piece of Confetti White card stock that was cut down and stamped the greeting from Just Believe in Wild Wasabi, then glued it to a piece of Wild Wasabi and the popped it up on a card base of Confetti White. Then I punched a circle from Confetti White with the 2 1/2" circle punch and stamps the leafy branch image from the same set in Wild Wasabi several times (and some without re-inking). I attached this to a piece of Wild Wasabi that I had cut with the Perfect Pennants die and then popped it up on the card. The final touch was to add a butterfly that I had die cut from Blushing Bride with the Beautiful Wings sizzlet. I put a mini brad in the middle and used a glue dot to attach it to the card. Very soft and simple! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, everyone! I hope you are all ready for a great weekend! We will be leaving later this morning for Denver to go see the Rockies play! I LOVE going to see them play and it is always better when the win. So, hopefully they will!! I do have to make this quick as I need to get everything ready...
Today's card was inspired by the sketch from Mary Jo. I was also inspired by the card that was done with this stamp set in the new catalog. So I kind of combined them both to come up with this! And I think it turned out pretty good! It is hard to tell, but I did sponge some Whisper White craft ink on my So Saffron layer. Not sure why. Just thought it might be cool but now you can't even see it. Oh, well! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
Card Recipe: Stamps- Just Believe; Paper- Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White; Ink- Wild Wasabi, Pool Party, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White craft; Accessories- Pool Party ruffled ribbon, silver brad, Tasteful Trim die, Square Lattice embossing folder, neutrals buttons, white baker's twine, sponge, dimensionals
