Fresh Fruit

Here’s another one of those sets that I really like and managed to dig it out while I was getting things put together for my move.

Although I really like all the images in this set but the flowers are just so much fun.  Again I was playing with the A Little Foxy dsp.  It’s not just for foxy and critters of the forrest!

This is just such a happy card and it would brighten anyone’s day!

Here’s the details…

  • Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Smoky Slate/White print – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8, layer onto Dapper Denim 3 3/4 x 5, add to card front
  • Calypso Coral strip dsp – 1 x 4, add to card front
  • Dapper Denim – 1/8 x 4 1/4, add to card front
  • Whisper White – cut out Stitched Circle, stamp greeting using Dapper Denim, add to card front using dimensionals
  • Whisper White – stamp 2 large flowers in Pool Party, 3 small flowers in Calypso Coral, leaves in Wild Wasabi and all flower centers in Dapper Denim, cut out everything and add to card front

What a happy card and I have the perfect person in mind to get this!

F4A337WOW…can you believe it is Friday already?  I’m still working on it’s August already!  I will be back at school (okay I never really left) before I know it!

The Free For All challenge on SCS today is to stamp something that will ‘cool you off’ on a hot summer day.  Nothing like eating a nice cold, juicy peach on a hot summer day!

Today I have a super quick and easy card for you.  I wanted to show my stamping group how easy it was to add depth to the peach image by using a sponge dauber and adding a little extra color.  So the peach is inked with Peek-a-boo Peach then Tangerine Tango was added for depth.  The leaves are Cucumber Crush with some Emerald Envy.

This is another of those ‘don’t blink’ or you’ll miss how to do it cards.  Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded, round the bottom right corner
  • Whisper White – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, round the bottom right corner
  • Stamp peach using Peek-a-boo Peach and use a sponge dauber to add Tangerine Tango to bottom, top and along the ‘line’.  Stamp leaves using Cucumber Crush with Emerald Envy in the center of the image.
  • Stamper greeting using Momento Black
  • Tie Peek-a-boo Peach Runched Ribbon around top and add panel to card front using dimensionals.

I’m just lovin’ all the new ‘stuff in the annual catalog (and now we have the mini – COOL!) but if you are needing some ideas for the new catalog (with a holiday mini surprise), now is a great time to subscribe to Create with Connie and Mary August Mini Session.

CreateBannerSU16HopWelcome

Welcome everyone to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Design Team Blog Hop.  Are you enjoying the new catalog?  I know we are!  This week we are featuring our favorite new stamp set.  Now this was a real problem for me because my favorite stamp set in the new catalog keeps changing – LOL!!!  I picked this set for two reasons…one…I LOVE the way the peach looks stamped when you ink in one color and then add some more with a sponge dauber.  And the second reason…I had just finished eating a fresh peach!  LOL!!!

SatHopSet

Don’t these peaches look good enough to eat?  Besides using the Fresh Fruit set, I also used another of my favorite sets…Gorgeous Gunge!

Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded, round the bottom right corners
  • Incolor Envelope dsp – 1 1/4 x 4 1/4, add to card front
  • Cucumber Crush – 1/8 x 4 1/4, add to card front
  • Whisper White – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, stamp splatter 2 times using Peek-a-boo Peach stamped off each time, stamp other splatter 2 times using Cucumber Crush stamped off each time, round bottom right corner and add to card front using dimensionals
  • Ink peach image using Peek-a-boo Peach, use a sponge dauber to add Tangerine Tango, ink leaves using Cucumber Crush then use sponge dauber to add Emerald Envy, cut out peaches/leaves and add using dimensionals
  • Basic Black – cut out enjoy from the Mini Treat Bag thinlits and add to card front

I so like the way this turned out and keeping things clean and simple really let the peaches be the focal point.

Fresh Fruit

CCMC414Oh…it’s Thursday again!  Don’t you love it?  I do for a couple reasons.  First…it’s almost the weekend!  YAY!!!  But even better…it’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge.  This week…a FABULOUS color challenge – Peek-a-boo Peach, Tangerine Tango and Cucumber Crush.  Aren’t these just great colors together?

Well I started out doing the peaches in the Fresh Fruit set but hmmm…several of the design team members thought the same thing and since instead of working ahead, I didn’t make my card until Tuesday so since the others had made peaches, I decided to use the GREAT flowers in that set!  LOVE!

Here’s the details…

  • Peek-a-boo Peach – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Peek-a-boo Peach – 4 x 5 1/4, run through the Petal Burst Embossing Folder
  • Wrap some Cucumber Crush Thick Baker’s Twine around panel then add to card front
  • Whisper White – 3 1/4 x 4 1/2, stamp greeting using Basic Black Archival (I stamped the Happy and then Birthday underneath it)
  • Ink the large flower using Peek-a-boo Peach and then use a sponge dauber to add Tangerine Tango, stamp on Whisper White.  Do this twice.  Stamp little flowers using Tangerine Tango and leaves using Cucumber Crush.  Stamp centers using Basic Black Archival.  Cut everything out, layer and add to card front.
  • Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish it off.

Did you know that it is almost time for the release of Create with Connie and Mary July Mini Session?  Yep…it is soooo true!
