Shades of Green

It’s Saturday!  And we know what that means…time for another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  Our theme this time is Shades of Green.  I had fun with this one.  I did have several ‘false starts’ though until I decided what I wanted to do.

  • Old Olive – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 3 1/5 x 5 1/2, run through the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder, put strip of Basic Black – 1/2 x 5 1/2, behind each side and add to card front.
  • Pear Pizzazz – cut out largest Stitched circle, add to card front using dimensionals
  • Whisper White – stamp flower using Memento Black, color leaves and stem using Old Olive Blends and flower center using So Saffron, cut out and add to card front using dimensionals.

You’ve Got This

CardClass4You know this new set (You’ve Got This) is just such a cool set!  It’s so easy to make classy cards without too much work.

I also REALLY like the new Tip Top Taupe color.  Just such a pretty neutral color.

This was one of the cards we did in my card class in June.  I think everyone like it and liked how easy it was to do.

Here’s the details…

  • Tip Top Taupe – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Tip Top Taupe – 3 3/8 x 4 5/8, round bottom right corner, run through the Boho Chic Embossing Folder, then layer onto Whisper White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 with bottom right corner rounded.  Add to card front.
  • Whisper White – 4 1/2 x 2, punch top with the Ornate Tag Topper and round the bottom corners.  Stamp background using Tip Top Taupe (stamped off once) and flower using Memento Black.
  • Add Tip Top Taupe 1″ Lacy Ribbon through hole on top and tie using Whisper White Baker’s Twine.  Add tag to card front using dimensionals.
  • Whisper White – 7/8 x 3, stamp greeting using Memento Black, cut into a banner and add to card front using dimensionals.

SatHopWelcomeWelcome everyone to the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Blog Hop! Each of the design team members is taking turns suggesting a theme and this month we are doing Folds.  Debbie is up first and our theme is Pop-out Swing Fold.  Well…this one I had never done before and what fun it is!

If you are going forward in the hop you arrived here from the Create with Connie and Mary Site.  Did you see the GREAT news???  We are going LIVE!!!  We had such a GREAT time last year for the Create with Connie and Mary LIVE event that we are doing it again THIS YEAR!  Oh the fun we have planned for you!  Space is limited so you want to make sure you sign up early!

So on to my card…

SatHopClosedAlthough the style I saw this this ‘fancy fold’ card was a rectangular center panel, I decided an oval would work perfectly and it did!  I wanted to use some of the new colors and found the color combo of Sahara Sand, Night of Navy, Perfect Plum, Mint Macaron.  Just LOVE this color combo!!

Here’s the details…

  • Sahara Sand – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded, add piece of Mint Macaron striped envelope paper 1 x 4 1/4, cut oval out of front then run through the Boho Chic Embossing Folder.
  • Whisper White, cover with the striped Mint Macaron Envelope paper – 5 x 6, score along the 6″ side at 2 and 4 – secure to back panel.
  • Night of Navy – cut out oval same size as opening on the front of card.
  • Whisper White – cut inside oval and add to Navy Oval. Close up card and add Navy oval through the opening.
  • Stamp the flower on Watercolor paper using StazOn Jet Black.  Color using Perfect Plum and Mint Macaron and AquaPainter.  Cut out and add using Dimensionals.
  • Stamp greeting on Perfect Plum using Versamark and white embossing and punch out using the NEW Washi Punch.  Add using dimensionals.

And here it is open…

You’ve Got This

NewOh…NEW STUFF is right around the corner and I can hardly wait.  As a demo I did get to get some ‘new stuff’ this month and decided to make a card with it for a get-together of friends for them to make.

A little funny story…I was trying to figure out what to do with this set and I saw a stack of the banners already cut out and sitting on my desk.  I needed a total of 7 (one for my card and 6 for my friends to use on their cards) and that was exactly how many I had.  So…since the die needed to cut them is retiring the end of this month and I already had them cut out, this card came together pretty quickly.

Here’s the details…

  • Mint Macaron – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Mint Macaron – 3 3/4 x 5, run through the NEW Boho Chic embossing folder and add to card front using dimensionals
  • Cut Party Pennant Bigz die out of Whisper White, stamp background in Mint Macaron then flower in Memento Black.
  • Tie Min Macaron 1″ Lace Trim around top of banner and add to card front using dimensionals.
  • Stamp greeting sing Memento Black on Whisper White 7/8 x 2 3/4, cut in to banner and add to card front using dimensionals.

I have to say…REALLY like the way this card turned out.  Oh…and come back Saturday when I use this again for the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Saturday Blog Hop!

Set(s): You’ve Got This
Paper: Whisper White, Mint Macaron
Ink: Memento Black, Mint Macaron
Other: Party Pennant Bigz Die, Mint Macaron 1″ Lace Trim, Boho Chic Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!
