Copper Dashing Deer ~ CCMC537, WWYS195, SSC192

Good morning stampers and Happy Thanksgiving!  

Today I'm posting my design team card for Create With Connie and Mary Challenge #537 color challenge.  Our colors this week are Tranquil Tide, Gray Granite and Copper.  

I've also incorporated What Will You Stamp challenge #195 by using the Dashing Deer set as well as the Detailed Deer Thinlits, and the sketch from Sunday Stamps #192.

Tranquil Tide has been one of my favorite greens to use on Christmas cards this year and when paired with the nice neutral of Gray Granite and the elegant Copper Foil, everything just shines!  

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

Stamps: Dashing Deer, Snow is Glistening

Ink: Gray Granite

Paper: Joyous Noel glimmer, Joyous Noel specialty, Gray Granite, Copper Foil, Tranquil Tide

Accessories: Snowfall thinlits, Detailed Deer thinlits, Pretty Pines thinlits, Stitched Shapes framelits, Frost White shimmer paint, Rhinestone

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Welcome Little Girl Giraffe ~ CCMC518, WWYS176, ATC140, AYSI179

Hello stampers!  Create with Connie and Mary is back this week with a fabulous sketch challenge! As you can see I rotated the sketch on it's side. I couldn't resist using the long-necked giraffe from Animal Outing for my design team card this week and imagine my delight when I saw that What Will You Stamp #176 challenged us to make a card with the Animal Outing set!  Perfect!  I love to combine challenges so I also used Addicted to CAS #140 BABY, and the color combo from As You See It #179.

Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Animal Outing

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry

Ink: Memento Tuxedo black, Daffodil Delight Blends markers, Crumb Cake Blends markers

Accessories: Animal Friends thinlits dies, Decorative Ribbon border punch, Simple Stripes EF

Simple Poinsettia ~ CCMC434, PP322, WWYS91

Wow!  Another Thursday has rolled around and you know what that means....Create with Connie and Mary!!!  Yay! (It's also Thanksgiving, but that's a whole other topic!)

This week is an interesting color trio that can go many ways...elegant, fun, masculine, fall, or Christmas! 

I chose to use gold instead of Delightful Dijon and went in the Christmas direction.  I wanted to use The Paper Players Clean and Simple Challenge 322 as inspiration and heck, why not throw in WWYS#91 using Teeny Tiny Wishes as well!

I'm not sure if this is anyone else's idea of clean and simple but it is for me!  My "white space" is the stamped tone on tone crumb cake background. I know it's not that clean, but to me it's simple.

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

Stamps: Reason for the Season, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Versamark, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake

Paper: Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gold Foil

Accessories: Lace ribbon, Linen Thread, Nesting circle thinlits, Gold EP

I hope to see many participating this week!  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Sugar Fox ~ CCMC418, WWYS75, PP306, SSC132

Well, well, well it's Thursday once again!  This card takes in 4, yes FOUR, challenges!  Whoo Hoo!  How fun is that!  

First and foremost is our Create with Connie and Mary color challenge #418, which was the reason I was searching for inspiration in the first place.  I decided I wanted to use my {Foxy Friends} stamp set with these colors and make a Sweet Sugarplum fox.  I kinda like it when these sort of sets are used with nontraditional colors.....like who would ever expect a light purple/pink fox!  And then the stars aligned and in my inspiration search I came across What Will You Stamp #75 which challenges us to use the Foxy Friends set.  Over at The Paper Players this week was a tic-tac-toe challenge, and some of you may know that I'm a lover of the tic-tac-toe challenges.  I chose to use texture, a scene, and diecuts.  And, why not incorporate a sketch too!  As luck would have it Sunday Stamps Challenge had a perfect match for me!  

I love it when it all comes together!

Of course with these colors she has to be a girl fox so I placed a flower on her head.

We would love for you to join us over at Create with Connie and Mary this week!  I'm excited to see what everyone does with these colors....traditional and nontraditional!

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

Stamps: Foxy Friends

Ink: Mint Macaron, Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake

Paper: White, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry

Accessories: Fox Builder punch, Woodland EF, Linen Thread, Beautiful Branches thinlits, Oval Framelits, Tree builder punch, Rhinestone

Americana Flowers ~ HSS242, WWYS72, PPA308

Hello my fellow stampers!!!  Happy Tuesday!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #242: a color challenge.  

With a red, white and blue color combo one tends to think about stars and stripes, the 4th of July, or nautical....at least I do anyway!  I really tried my best to think outside the box and not go there.  I saw What Will You Stamp challenge #72 using {You're Sublime} and I thought perhaps I could blend the two challenges!  I also found Pals Paper Arts #308, which was a nice sketch challenge.  I REALLY love it when I can combine several challenges into one!  It's so fun!

I took a country/Americana type approach with this card.  I colored the flowers and wheel barrow with my blender pen and ink pads.

The pin-dot Cherry Cobbler background paper adds the country feel, as well as the barnwood paper (which I sponged) and the burlap ribbon.  

The new banner punch was just right to add the sentiment on top of the flowers.  

I added some Crystal Effects (now retired ... boo) to the flowers to make them stand out just a little bit more.

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

Stamps: You're Sublime, Thoughtful Banners

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Dapper Denim, Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Stazon Black

Paper: Dapper Denim, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Farmers Market DSP

Accessories: Blender pen, Banner punch, Oval Framelits, Burlap Ribbon, Ruched Ribbon, Crystal Effects

I hope you'll be able to join us at Hand Stamped Sentiments and remember, the challenge runs for two weeks!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
