CCMC590 Snow Globe Scene

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com.
This week is a sketch challenge, and this is the sketch we had to work with:

I decided that this sketch would be a perfect chance to make a snow globe shaker card! I used the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley, which made it really quick - the DSP and sticker images means I didn't need to stamp much - only the sentiment. I used the Snow Globe Scenes dies to make my snow globe, added a shaker dome and some Ice Stampin' Glitter for the snow inside.   

This was a really fun card to make! I hope you like it. Check out what the other talented stampers have come up with HERE. Don't forget you can play along over on the facebook page!

Well, I'd better get back to it. Thanks for stopping by!

Blue or White?

Have you spotted the Nature's Beauty stamp set on the back page of the Holiday Catalogue? Stampin’ Up! are donating a portion of each sale of the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set (p. 63) to mental health organisations. In Australia, $4.25 of every sale goes to the Black Dog Institute. So, not only can you create beautiful cards with this set, you can feel good about it too.

I used it recently for a make-and-take at our team meeting. I made 2 versions - they are both Night of Navy, Seaside Spray and Whisper White, but differing amounts on each card. For both, I used the Basic Pattern Masks and sponged an ink background. I also sponged the stitched circle.

Which one is your favourite?

CCMC589 Puff Paint Pines

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com. This week is a colour challenge, and these are the colours we had to work with:

I have another Christmas card to show you today. I love these colours for Christmas - red and green with a twist! The Coastal Cabana makes it a lot more modern. 

Here are a few tips and tricks about this card:

• The striped pattern is from the Let it Snow DSP
• I used the Pine Tree Punch to punch 2 trees from the DSP. The 3rd Shaded Spruce one is from cardstock. 
• I added Puff Paint to my trees for some fun texture
• The largest Stitched Shapes Circle is the perfect frame for my little forest
• I added a Mini Library Clip and some Baker's Twine for a cute little embellishment. 
• The sentiment is from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set. I used Stampin' Write markers to ink it up in 2 colours. 
• I CaSEd the Perfectly Plaid card on page 3 of the Holiday Catalogue

I hope you like my card! Check out what the other talented stampers have come up with HERE. Don't forget you can play along over on the facebook page

I was commissioned to make this card for a special lady's 'big' birthday, from a group of her friends. I love creating bunches of flowers with the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. I just played around with different combinations of colours and flowers until I was happy with the result. Hopefully she was happy with the result too!

CCMC588 Christmastime is Here

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com.
This week is a sketch challenge, and this is the sketch we had to work with:

This week I decided to play with the new Christmastime is Here Suite. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment (from Itty Bitty Christmas). The rest is snipped from the beautiful Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper. I'll be using this long after Christmas is over! 

I've also used the stunning Gold Shimmer ribbon, and a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

It's a very simple card, but this paper makes it so elegant.
