Still Scenes

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Walking in a Winter Wonderland

December 21, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features winter or cards with snow.

I took it literal this week –

I stamped the image from the Still Scenes stamp set in Smoky Slate, coloring it with a variety of Blends markers.

The roof and the snow are colored with Wink of Stella for that frosty look.

Once that was finished, I decided on the sentiment from Tidings All Around in Real Red for a pop of color.

I debated on a Whisper White base or Real Red card base. I think the Real Red was made the scene stand out more.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Stamp Set – Still Scenes, Tidings All Around
Card Stock – Real Red, Whisper White

We Create Neutral Collection Blog Hop

Happy December 1st! How about starting off the day with a couple of inspirational blog hops?

This one is for –

The theme this month is Neutrals.

I combined the Stampin’ Up neutral color family and the theme of Christmas for this –

I stamped the house and tree image in Smokey Slate. It is from the Still Scenes stamp set. Merry Merlot made the door just pop! Plus, it is a dream of mine to have a house with a rounded red door! Lol!

The sentiment is in Basic Grey and it is from Merry Christmas To All.

I used the Frosted Frames Dies for both the Whisper White and the outer decorative cut out. It is soo pretty!

That all sits atop a Subtle embossed panel in Smokey Slate.

I’d love to hear what you think?

Take a quick jaunt onto Tricia Butt’s and her wonderful designs!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

I took a Christmas approach with these unlikely Christmas colors and variety of products –

A created a cute snowman in a snow globe! He, as well as the sentiment, are from the Snowman Season stamp set. Just adorable!

The stamped snowflakes around the globe and the loose small snowflakes in the globe are from the To Every Season bundle. It is stamps and 4 different mini punches!

The globe and base were cut from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies.

Pretty easy card that combines lots of cute products!

Halloween Snow Globe

September 27, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Thank you for stopping by today!

I thought you might like to see another way to use the Still Scenes bundle other than Christmas –

This is done in a Halloween Theme! I used the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper for the strip and the ‘globe’! I love this house for a globe!

I die cut one of the larger houses from the paper and placed it flat. The snow globe base was stamped and die cut in Pumpkin Pie.

Stamping on Designer Series Paper can be a bit tricky as the paper wants to absorb the ink. I stamped the sentiment here in StazOn ink. It is a pigment ink that is darker and stays more true to color. The first one I stamped was in Black Memento and was very light, hard to see.

It’s all tied off with a little black retired twine. I’m lovin’ this! What are your thoughts?
