Card "Create"tions Saturday Blog Hop Week 3!!

Welcome!!  We are in our final week of Card "Create"tions Celebrations 2015 and it has been a blast!

A big thank you to all of you that have followed us these three weeks!!  You should be arriving from Melissa's fabulous blog Rubberfunatics.  She never disappoints!!  As always, make sure to travel all the way around so you don't miss anything!

My final card set was for the gorgeous Your Perfect Day.  To make it even better, I paired it with Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper and the Artisan Embellishment Kit.  When I started planning for this blog hop, I considered many options.  As I've told you before, I love to re-use things and I keep all sorts of boxes and containers.  So, why not use the box for the Artisan Embellishment Kit as my favor.

Isn't this cool!! My upline Patty Bennett was the first to think of this idea and I think she is a genius!  Once I had my box all prettied up with designer paper and embellishments, I had to decide what to put inside.  My first thought was lots of confetti and a congratulations card, but I went with thank you cards for the happy couple.

 Custom envelopes for each card of course!

There are so many ways to you run with this idea, I hope it has inspired you!  Now, onto the Debbie Henderson's awesome project at Debbie's Designs.

 
A big thank you to all of you that have followed us these three weeks, we so appreciate your support!  For those of you that haven't subscribed, you can still join us and get all of the card sets and pdf instructions all at once!!!! Woo Hoo!!  For all the details, visit Create with Connie and Mary.

A Perfect Day

We are coming to a close for Card "Create"tions Celebrations from Create with Connie and Mary.  Today my last card set showcasing Your Perfect Day went live.  I can't share the exclusive cards with you, but I can share this one!

Your Perfect Day is so elegant and has a lovely simplicity to it.  My favorite stamp is this beautiful cake.  It stands alone nicely on this card with a bit of designer paper and a sentiment.

Pear Pizazz is a great accent color along with Blushing Bride.  They go hand in hand with this wedding style!  A couple of pearls and a small flower completes this elegant look.

If you'd like to see the Your Perfect Day card set I designed for Card "Create"tions Celebrations, you can still subscribe!  Just because the collection has come to an end doesn't mean you can't enjoy it!  In fact, you will get to have access to the entire collection ALL AT ONCE!  Woo Hoo!!  For all the details go to Create with Connie and Mary.

Card "Create"tions Celebrations Week 2 Saturday Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Week 2 Blog Hop, I am so excited you are here!  You should be arriving from Melissa Davie's awesome blog Rubberfunatics, wasn't here project great!!!  Be sure to hop all the way around, you don't want to miss a thing!! 

For Week Two, I used Adventure Awaits for my card set.  I love the fabulous bold greetings, this set is perfect for both cards and scrapbooking....fun favors and projects too!!  With graduation being around the corner, I went in that direction and made a small gift and card.

Don't these sentiments fit graduation perfectly??!!  Their adventure awaits, so why not give them a journal to record it in?

The Kraft Grid Journals from the Annual Catalog are such a great size!  Perfect for a pocket or purse.   What better way to record your goals or thoughts when you are out on an adventure!  To make this bold journal, I first stamped Gorgeous Grunge on the cover in Memento Tuxedo Black.  A piece of map from Typeset is added with adhesive and washi.  Lastly, a bold adventurous greeting heat embossed and grunged up makes the journal complete.

I could have stopped with the journal, but what about telling the graduate how proud you are??  So I created a pocket card with the same map paper and the Mini Treat Bag.  I mimicked the journal and did another bold sentiment heat embossed and grunged up. 

The card inside has yet another bold sentiment, the Class of 2015 a la carte set from the Occasions Catalog.  I wanted a little more detail, so I added in "So proud of you" from Crazy About You....now I'm happy!!  This unique card will make any graduate smile!!  You could even pop a gift card in there to make them smile bigger!!

Now, off to another adventure, the next blog!!!  It's time to pay a visit to Debbie Henderson's awesome blog Debbie's Designs to see the fabulous idea she has for us today!

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!! If you haven't subscribed and joined us for Card "Create"tions Celebrations it's not too late!!  We have done all the work for you,  cards and instructions ready to go!  Just go to Create with Connie and Mary for all the details!

Card "Create" tions Saturday Blog Hop Week One!!

Hooray!!! It's the first blog hop for Card "Create" tions Celebrations 2015 and I am so excited you are here!!  You should be arriving from Melissa Davies' amazing blog Rubberfunatics, she is so inspiring!!   If you are getting your start here, welcome and make sure you hop all the way around so you don't miss a thing!

Each week during the collection we are featuring a small favor with the stamp set we used for our card set.  My set for this week was From the Garden and I have to say that the more I use it the more I love it!!  In fact, it goes along nicely with another product that I love, the Berry Basket die!   So can you guess what I have for you today???  Yep, a berry basket featuring From the Garden!

The story behind this basket is kind of funny, it was a duh... kinda moment.  I knew I was going to make a basket and knew I wanted to use All Abloom Designer paper.  What I didn't know was what to actually put in the basket.  As I was looking around my desk and shelf of little bits of this and that it struck me!  I have the perfect little gift already done............ the 3" x 3" watercolor cards from last week........perfect fit!

Let's get to some details about how I made this gorgeous floral basket.  The basket die cut is a good 8 1/4" long, so how do you make it with the designer paper stack that is much shorter??  Well, let me show you!

By cutting a smaller piece of designer paper to cover just the sides you can not only save paper, but you can use smaller pieces you may have hanging around.  Just line up the bottom of your paper with the crease for the bottom of each side of the basket and die cut!  That's it!  You have a designer basket in a flash!

The tag is quick and easy as well.  I created a Blushing Bride tag with the Tag Topper Punch then added a pretty garden pick and bow.  The cards got bagged up and tied with pretty White Organza ribbon and the lovely garden pick tag to top it off.   The beautiful watercolor 3" x 3" cards are a perfect match,  I love it when things work out like that for me!

Now, it's time to head over to Debbie Henderson's fabulous blog Debbie's Designs to see what amazing project she has for us today.
