Seasonal Bells

seasonalbellsswapDon’t forget to head over to the Create with Connie and Mary site to see who is doing blog candy today!

I just realized that I never shared a card that I made for the Control Freak swap.  One of the first sets that I HAD to have was the Seasonal Bell set and I just LOVE the blues and purples for Christmas.

This was the first card that I made when I got my ‘new stuff’ for the holiday mini.  Can you believe it…it took me THIS LONG to share this!

I have to say…I’ve had fun with this set and will have a few more cards with bells to share still.

Here’s the details…

  • Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Sweet Sugarplum – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8, add to card front using dimensionals
  • Whisper White – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, run through the Pine Bough Embossing Folder, add to card front
  • Silver Foil – cut out two pine boughs and add to card front
  • Stamp striped bell using Versamark on Sweet Sugarplum, snowflake bell and banner greeting using Versamark on Pool Party and bow (from Holly Berry) on Rich Razzleberry, silver emboss all; punch out bells and bow, cut out greeting, add all to card front
  • Add some Fancy Frost sequins to finish off

Holly Berry Happiness

merry-tagsSpecial Announcement – visit my blog on Tuesday (12/6) for the opportunity to be entered to win a special Blog Candy from Create with Connie and Mary!

This would be my Holly Berry Happiness meets Merriest Tags!  I was asked by some of my folks to use the Merriest Tags and also the Holly Berry Wishes so I decided to put the two together.

For the holly cluster on the tag they could either build it with individual holly leaves and berries or they could use the single image and just add berries.  Both ways were used and they both looked just fine!

Here’s the details…

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 4 x 5 1/4, run through the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and add to card front
  • Whisper White – 3 1/4 x 4 1/2, layer onto Cherry Cobbler 3 3/8 x 4 5/8, stamp greeting using Cherry Cobbler
  • Gold Foil – cut out filigree ornament, add all three of the trio of baker’s twine and add ornament to card front using dimensionals and wrap ends of baker’s twine around back of the panel then add panel to card front
  • Stamp holly leaf outline using Momento Black and solid in Emerald Envy, punch out and layer, stamp berry outline using Momento Black and solid using Cherry Cobbler, punch out and add, stamp bow outline using Momento Black and solid using Cherry Cobbler, punch out and add to holly cluster.
Set(s): Holly Berry Happiness, Merriest Wishes
Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Gold Foil
Ink: Momento Black, Cherry Cobbler, Emerald Envy
Other: Merriest Tags Thinlits, Holly Berry Builder Punch, Baker’s Twine Trio Pack, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Holly Berry Happiness

ccmc435Happy Thursday!  Today is such a great day.  First…it’s December 1st and time for fun sketch challenge for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge and second…we (demos) get to order NEW STUFF from the Occasions mini.  WHAT could be better than that!

I’ve been on a bit of a kick to use up pieces that are ‘on the top of my desk’ and using those to finish up projects that I need to do.  I had these great holly branches already stamped and cut out so I just HAD to sue them!

Here’s the detail…

  • Real Red – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, stamp greeting on the bottom using Momento Black and add to card front
  • Holly print – 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, add to card front
  • Cherry Cobbler print – 2 x 2, add to card front
  • Stamp holly branch outline two times using Momento Black; stamp solid in one in Mint Macaron and the other in Emerald envy and the berries in Real Red.  Cut both out and add using dimensionals; stamp bow outline in Momento Black and solid in Real Red, punch out and add to holly branches
  • Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish off

So head over to Create with Connie and Mary and check out all the great cards from our design team!
