AprilCardClass2Happy Thursday!  I’m sooooo happy it is Thursday.  Not only is it time for a GREAT new Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge but tomorrow is GRADUATION and that means I’ll be on my summer schedule AND more time for stamping!

Oh and speaking of MORE TIME FOR STAMPING…tomorrow is the arrival of NEW STUFF for that stamping!  WOO HOO!!!

This great card was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest (of course) and I put my own spin on it.  We did this for my card class in April.

Here’s the details…

  • Sahara Sand –  5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
  • Sahara Sand – 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, run through the butterfly embossing folder, add strip of Elegant Eggplant – 5/8 x 4 1/4 along the right side and add panel to card front.
  • Whisper White – cut out using Lots of Labels, stamp greeting using Basic Grey Archival, add to card front
  • Mossy Meadow (oh will miss this) – cut out leaves then stamp with leaf image using Mossy Meadow
  • Elegant Eggplant, cut out flowers (the smaller ones are a double layer
  • Sahara Sand – cut out centers
  • Layer everything together and add to card front
  • Add Perfect Accent to the centers to finish off

Isn’t this a GREAT card!  Love the pretty colors!  Speaking of GREAT…make sure you head over to Create with Connie and Mary to check out the information about out the Create with Connie and Mary May Mini session sign up now!  While you are there, also check out the GREAT inspiration from our talented design team!

SuiteSayingsI do love to CASE cards…no really I do!  Sometimes I’m just super busy with school and REALLY want to stamp but am just not feeling all that creative.  So…CASING to the rescue!

I’ve seen a couple cards like this on Pinterest (is there any other source of inspiration?) but I did change up several things on it.

We did this as a make and take at my craft group and I think it turned out cute.   I like the added second color of Tempting Turquoise!

Here’s the Details –

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 4 x 5 1/4, run through the Sunburst Thinlit (LOVE THIS) and add using dimensionals
  • Cucumber Crisp Striped Envelope paper – 2 x 4, cut into banner on both ends, add to card front
  • Basic Black – 1 1/2 x 3 5/8, cut into banner on both ends, add to card front
  • Whisper White – 7/8 x 2 3/4, stamp greeting using Cucumber Crisp and Tempting Turquoise markers, cut into banner on both ends, add to card front using dimensionals
  • Punch out large balloon in Tempting Turquoise and small on in Cucumber Crisp, use White Get Pen to add details, add pieces of White Baker’s Twine behind balloons, layer and add using dimensionals
