CCMC397 bYou know…I REALLY liked the sketch challenge for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge this week.  This was one of those challenges where I started out with a card, didn’t like it for the challenge then made another card which is what I used for the actual challenge.  But I did like this card too so thought I’d share it today!

I think the main reason I wasn’t so happy with this was the base color of the card…Sahara Sand.  But…it is a cool card!

Here’s the details…

  • Sahara Sand – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • It’s My Party dsp print – 1 1/2 x 4 1/4, add to card base
  • Silver Glimmer Washi Tape – add to card base
  • Whisper White – 2 x 4 3/4, lay on card on an angle, trim ends
  • Basic Black – cut out happy add to Whisper White panel
  • Stamp BIRTHDAY in Mint Macaron, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Melon Mamo, add panel to card front
  • Stamp larger balloon in Crushed Curry, Mint Macaron, and Melon Mambo, punch out, stamp ‘string’ in Basic Black, cut out, add behind balloons, layer and ad using dimensionasl
  • Tie bow in the Black/Melon Mambo Thick Twine and add to balloon strings to finish off.

One nice things about getting ideas is that if you don’t have the actual set or even paper, you can always change things up.  That’s the great thing with the ideas from the Create with Connie and Mary March Mini Session!  And.  WE’RE NOW OPEN!

Here’s the information…

CCMC397It’s Thursday and you know what that means…it’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge and this week…oh…what a FUN sketch challenge we have for you!

Okay…so as always there’s a story to go with this.  This is actually my second card for the challenge.  I had spent a weekend working on cards for challenges and made a card for this sketch.  It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with it, I just wasn’t super happy with it (don’t worry…will share it another time) so decided to make another card for the challenge.  Now THIS is a HAPPY card!

Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White THICK – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • It’s My Party dsp – black print – 1 1/2 x 4 1/4, add to bottom of card
  • It’s My Party dsp – Melon/star print – 3 x 4 1/4, add to top of card
  • Whisper White – 2 x 5, lay on card front and trim to fit, now stamp happy birthday using Melon Mambo and Basic Black markers, stamp to you multiple time using Melon Mambo, add some ‘strings’ from Balloon Builders (or just draw on) using Basic Black.
  • Add strip of Silver glimmer washi tape (SAB), add panel to card front.
  • Punch large balloon from Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Silver Glimmer, use white gel pen to add details to Basic Black and Melon Mambo balloons, layer and add using dimensionals, stamp another string, cut out, add behind black balloon.

The Create with Connie and Mary March Mini Session starts TOMORROW and here’s a hint…I used the Sunburst Sayings and matching thinlet for my set!  Here’s the information…
