Fall is in the Air

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is FALL IS IN THE AIR.



For my fall card, I went back to the Annual Catalog and combined an older set with a newer set.

Isn't it great when you can use a stamp set for multiple holidays!

I kept it simple and used Crushed Curry with Cajun Craze to create a fall inspired wreath with WONDROUS WREATH and BANNERS FOR YOU.  I almost added in Pumpkin Pie, but decided against it in the end.  I did use Soft Suede as my third color for the card base and banner outline to give a little more depth to the card.



To give a little more of a fall feel to the card, I added in LINEN THREAD to make a bow and hang the wreath.  This last little touch was just what the card needed!

Below is the supply list and color inspiration so you can create your own fall inspired card.

Candy Cane Treats

I've got a quick treat for you today that is easy and FUN!  It also gives another use for the MINI TREAT BAG THINLIT.



I told you these were fun!  This is a great way to give a small gift to teachers, mail carriers, etc.



I used the smaller die from the treat bag and cut out two to adhere together to create the pocket for the candy cane.  To make it a little fancier, I cut a 2" x 6" piece of Whisper White and punched a tag at the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.



This long tag is a great place to write "to and from" for your gift.  It also secures the candy cane in the pocket.  I used a couple of glue dots to adhere the candy cane to the tag and added gold ribbon to the top.



If you are looking for a treat idea, this is the way to go!  There are so many ways to embellish and lots of great designer paper patterns to choose from!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!  I hope you all have a most wonderful day!  Even though it's a busy day, I have a card to share for the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  Here's a quick look at the sketch.

I made a Christmas card (of course!!) for today using Wondrous Wreath.  This is actually the card I gave to my parents this year.

I kept this pretty simple by using scraps and extras from my desk.  I had an extra wreath from another project and a whole bunch of Trim the Tree scraps laying about.  It all came together quickly as a result!  The only thing I had to do was stamp and die cut the sentiment and die cut a Cherry Cobbler bow.  I love it when a card comes together so quickly!

I hope you have a chance to join the challenge and make a card with me.  Just visit Create with Connie and Mary for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Thanks for visiting!  Merry Christmas!

Wondrous Wreath for TSSC345

Welcome!  It's Monday and time for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge from Technostamper.  Here's a look at the fun sketch Mary Jo has for us this week.

I love this sketch, but I wanted to do something a little different.  I flipped the sketch and used a standard size card base in place of this longer one.

Isn't this bright and cheerful?  I love using non-traditional colors for Christmas cards, it makes me smile....especially when pink is involved!

I started out with a Pink Pirouette card base stamped with the Hardwood background in the same color.  A banner of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper comes next to add a some sparkle.

The wreath is my favorite part of the whole card.  The leaves are stamped with Bermuda Bay and Pool Party then topped with Strawberry Slush berries.  A Silver Foil bow adorns the top with a small circle of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper in the center.

The wreath is popped up with dimensionals on a piece of Strawberry Slush that has the sentiment from November's Paper Pumpkin stamped at the bottom.

So, that's it!!  A very merry PINK Christmas!!  I hope you are feeling inspired and join me in the challenge.  You can go to Technostamper for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Holiday Collection Week 3 Blog Hop!

Welcome!!  It's the end of week 3 of the Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Collection and we have a great blog hop for you!  Each Design Team member has made a card with the set they used in week three, and I know you will want to make your way around to see them all.  The projects for the collection have been out of this world!  If you're not a subscriber, it's not too late to join in the fun.  You can find all the details on Create with Connie and Mary.

You should be getting here from Melissa's blog, she always has amazing cards and projects to share.  My set for this week was Wondrous Wreath.  I absolutely LOVE this set!! So much versatility with the holidays and ways you can use it.  So, instead of making just one card for the blog hop today, I made a set of 4 gift cards.

The wreath fits just perfectly on the front of a 3" x 3" card.  I love to have these little cards on hand to tuck into gift bags.  Each card is unique, so let's take a closer look.

Card one is Cherry Cobbler with a piece of plaid designer paper from Trim the Tree.  The wreath and a simple gold foil "joy" make the card complete.  Each card has the same wreath made with Pistachio Pudding, Wild Wasabi and Cherry Cobbler.

Card two is Garden Green with a polka dot design from Trim the Tree paper stack.  I added the wreath and a Cherry Cobbler bow.  It seemed a bit plain, so I added a little bling.  I made ornaments from the small circles on the Cupcake Builder Punch.  The little bit of Gold Glimmer paper made the wreath complete.

Card three is also Garden Green cardstock with a bit of patterned paper from Trim the Tree.  This wreath is decorated with a Cherry Cobbler bow and a greeting.  I used "Merry Christmas" from Good Greetings and die cut it with the banner included in the Snowflake Flip Card Thinlet.

Card four is Cherry Cobbler with the plaid design again.  The wreath is embellished with a gold foil bow and rhinestone.  A banner with "celebrate" from Good Greetings is tucked into the center of the wreath.  I used the same banner from the Snowflake Flip card but cut the left side down to make it fit.

Each card has the same sentiment stamped inside on Whisper White.  I used the greeting from the Wondrous Wreath set, it was a perfect fit.

I hope my cards have given you the inspiration to make your own!  They are so fun to make, you can change them up in so many ways!!

Now, it's time to check out Debbie's beautiful creation.  She always has amazing ideas to share!

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!  Happy stamping!
