Colorful Seasons

Mitten Mitten

November 9, 2017 · 2 Comments

Happy Thursday! Welcome to a Create with Connie and Mary new sketch challenge.

Today we have some beautiful colors to inspire you –

When I looked at these colors, I had thoughts of warmth and softness. So that is what I translated onto my card –

Don’t these look like really soft cozy mittens? Amazing how you can invoke this in a card design!

To start off, I used the Smitten Mittens bundle to create this card. I stamped the mittens and trim on a sheet from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper (it’s actually the same sheet, just front and back!). Added the sentiment and stamped the snowflakes for a little dimension.

When it was finished, I felt it needed a little something, so I added the baker’s twine to the mitten edges.

Everyone on the Create with Connie and Mary Design team create some lovely cards! Go check them out.

When we inspire you, you can link up you card on our Facebook page!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – One Layer Cards

September 23, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Happy second day of fall!

Got a fall inspired card for Create with Connie and Mary for our Saturday blog hop.

Our theme today is : One Layer Card.

This is a perfect theme to have! One layer cards can be very difficult to create. So, we have some great inspiration for you!

I went with the Colorful Seasons stamp set. Both leaves stamp so beautiful together. Being a photopolymer stamp, it makes stamping soo easy! It doesn’t matter which one you start with. Either one works first and stamps perfectly over the other!

The sentiment is from Painted Harvest. It went well with this fall theme card stamped over the solid leaf.

Hard to believe that is only stamped on a single layer! Check out the other the other Design Team members to see what they created –

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Colorful Seasons, Painted Harvest
Card Stock – Very Vanilla
Ink – Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip

Happy Stampin’
