CCMC Saturday Blog Hop: You Brighten My Day

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! This week we are featuring the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, You Brighten My Day! I am your stop after the always inspiring, Debbie Henderson!

I feel like I have gotten so many new stamp sets and yet haven't had time to use them all. So sad!! This set is one of them. I think that I have used it once and I used this same image. But I do like this little light bulb! Too cute! I also used the Irresistibly Yours designer paper.

• Card base is Hello Honey
• Cut a piece of the Irresistibly Yours designer paper and sponge Basic Grey ink over it (I used a tissue to wipe the ink off the stars to get them whiter) then adhere to the card base
• Cut a strip of Basic Black card stock and flag both ends then adhere a piece of Hello Honey thick baker's twine (from the In Color accessory pack) around the strip and adhere the strip to the card
• Cut a starburst shape from Hello Honey card stock using the Starburst framelits
• Use the Essentials paper piercing pack to pierce two circles on the starburst then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Punch a circle from Basic Black card stock using the 2" circle punch and adhere to the starburst shape
• Stamp the light bulb image from You Brighten My Day onto a piece of Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Black Momento ink and color it in with the Hello Honey and Smoky Slate markers
• Punch out the image using the 1 3/4" circle punch then adhere to the Basic Black circle using dimensionals

Hopefully I will find some more time to do some stamping!! But for now I send you on to see more wonderful inspiration from Connie Babbert! Click the icon below to be sent to her blog! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Hello everyone! It's that time! Create with Connie and Mary have a super fun challenge for us! This week we are being challenged with some fabulous colors!

Basic Black, Hello Honey and Sahara Sand are the colors that we are given to work with! I must admit that I was stumped until I saw this cute lightbulb image from the You Brighten My Day stamp set.

• Card base is Sahara Sand
• Adhere a piece of Moonlight designer paper to the card base
• Cut the starburst shape from Hello Honey card stock using the Starburst designer paper and adhere to card
• Stamp the lightbulb image from the You Brighten My Day stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White using Tuxedo Black Momento ink and add a little color with the Hello Honey and Sahara Sand markers
• Use the Essentials paper piercing pack to pierce a circle on the stamped circle then adhere to the starburst circle with dimensionals
• Cut the ends of a narrow strip of Basic Black card stock and adhere to card (mine is just adhered to the stamped circle)
• Thread a piece of linen thread through a gold basic metal button and tie a bow then adhere to card
