Boo Seasonal Swirls ~ CCMC688

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create With Connie and Mary's color challenge for the week.  Our colors are a nice bright Halloween-ish mix of Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, and Highland Heather.  I added in a little black to set the colors off for my Halloween wreath.  

The sentiment is for Wonderful Gems in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I cut the ghost off of my sentiment because I just didn't think it went along all that well.  

The inside was stamped with a Happy Halloween sentiment from Sparkle of the Season.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Knit Together Snowflakes ~ CCMC687

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge.  

I wanted to create something with the snowflake Adorning Designs decorative mask and embossing paste.  After I applied the paste on Smokey Slate cardstock, I sprinkled it with a bit of fine iridescent  glitter to add some sparkle.  The main panel is cut from the knit sweater dies in Blushing Bride and White, and the snowflakes are topped with an opal round in the center of each.  The background is stamped with the Knit Together background stamp in Blushing Bride ink.  The Organdy White ribbon I used is retired but there is some similar glittered organdy ribbon in the current catalog.

Winter Bear Cool Friend ~ HSS375, GDP314, IB191C

Today's card for Hand Stamped Sentiments cool color combo of Misty Moonlight, Rich Razzleberry, and Smokey Slate, also takes in the sketch from Global Design Project, and the inspiration from Inspired by...

My card this week uses many retired products.  I actually like it when I can use some of my old stash to make new cards!  The Smokey Slate DSP is from several Christmas's ago, but I still had a few bits and pieces.  The velvet ribbon is a couple years old, as well, but I felt like it was a cool texture to add to this wintery card.  The other DSP is just slighty out of date as it only retired a couple weeks ago.  I was really sorry to see this DSP go because it coordinates so perfectly with the Penguin Place set.  

I think this fun sentiment from the Penguin Place set is so fun and cute.  On the inside of the card it says Happy Birthday.  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Thanks Ever So Much Leaves ~ CCMC686

For this week's color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary I used the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and coordinating Intricate Leaves die set.  I also used some of the new cork specialty paper, which is so organic and pairs nicely with the leaves.  I also used the Macramé EF.  I love the look of it, too!  It's quickly becoming one of my favorites!  

I'm a sucker for a bit of shimmer and shine, so of course I couldn't do without a little touch of gold foil paper as well as a few gold sequins and gold cord.  

My layout was inspired by Mary Deatherage's card which you can see here.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Bloom Sympathy ~ CCMC685, GDP312

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for the sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary this week.  I'm really liking the banner design rather than a plain old rectangle!

My card was also influenced by the CASE the Designer challenge at Global Design Project.  I was inspired by the colors, the flowers, the clean and simple design, and the brick background.  

I combined white and shimmer white cardstock to get a two-tone white look.  I really like the way it turned out!  

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Inspired Thoughts, Art in Bloom

Ink: Black Memento, Blushing Bride, Cinnamon Cider, Poppy Parade, Soft Seafoam

Cardstock: White, Shimmer White

Accessories: Elegant faceted gems, Flowers for Every Season Ribbon, Tasteful Textiles and Brick & Mortar EF, Bloom dies, Stitched So Sweetly dies

Sparkle of the Season Autumn ~ HSS374

Hey stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments October Sketch Challenge.  Don't you just love the colors of fall?  So rich!  I used the Sparkle of the Season bundle to make this card, as well as the sentiments from Inspired Thoughts.  I just love the font in this set.  I felt like the wreath was the perfect match for this sketch.  A little patch of the Playful Patterns DSP as well as the Knit Together background stamp make this all feel cozy.  I added a bit of gold foil paper under the sentiment strip to tie in with the gold gems.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
