Birthday Sorbet

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are having a fantastic weekend! Yesterday was a great day as I was able to get some sewing done. I hope to get more done today, though! I am not getting as much done as I had thought I would. Too much visiting I guess - lol!! That's just fine, though! And then there is the football game that is a must see game around here!! Go Broncos!!!

Today's card was inspired by one that my friend Molly gave me for my birthday. I really liked the simple layout and decided to duplicate with Stampin' Up! product. Here are the details:

• Card base is Sahara Sand
• Use the Tasteful Trim die to cut a line of scallops from Basic Black card stock 
• Adhere the scallop strip to the back of a piece of Sweet Sorbet designer paper then adhere to card
• Cut a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and run through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots embossing folder
• Flag the end of the panel and tie a piece of Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon around it then adhere to card 
• Stamp greeting from Four You in black StazOn onto a strip of Whisper White and flag both ends then adhere to card with dimensionals

Very easy! Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary site today! They will be announcing the blog candy winners! Thanks to all you of you for leaving such sweet comments! I loved reading them! Early bird pricing ended yesterday but you can still sign up to be a part of the Spring Collection! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! Create with Connie and Mary have a fabulous color challenge for us today! Take a look!

And my card...

I don't know if you can tell or not but I used the wrong color again - UGH! I used Melon Mambo instead of Strawberry Slush. And I was so excited to use Strawberry Slush! Oh well. You can hardly tell the difference so that makes it a little better. It's my birthday month so I thought I would create a birthday card with these colors. Here are the details:

• Card base is Melon Mambo (should be Strawberry Slush)
• Use the scallop trim border punch to punch the top of a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock and a 1" circle punch to round the bottom corners of the card base and the Bermuda Bay layer then tie a piece of Basic Black 1/8" taffeta ribbon around it
• Adhere panel to card
• Use the 2 3/8" scallop punch to punch a scallop circle from Basic Black
• Stamp cupcake bottom from Create a Cupcake in black StazOn onto Whisper White and punch out with the 1 3/4" circle punch then adhere to scallop circle
• Use the white chalk marker to add dots to each scallop
• Stamp cupcake top in Melon Mambo (should be Strawberry Slush) onto Whisper White and punch out with the cupcake builder punch and adhere with dimensionals
• Adhere scallop circle to card with dimensionals
• Stamp greeting in black StazOn onto a strip of Whisper White and adhere to card
• Punch a flower from Bermuda Bay using the itty bitty shapes punch pack and adhere to cupcake
• Add a rhinestone to flower center

See more inspiration from the very talented design team at Create with Connie and Mary! I hope you will play along with us this week! I always look forward to seeing what you create with our challenges! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
