Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Ombre Card

June 27, 2020 · Leave a Comment

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

Our theme this week features an ombre colored card.

I am in love with the Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper. I just had to use it again today –

A couple of the patterns are a lovely ombre waved ocean. I paired this pattern with a ‘bridge fold’.

This is soo sweet and best of all, folds flat to mail!

I fussy cut the whale (although there is a coordinating punch for it), and die cut the sentiment.

The measurements for this card a quite easy! Base is 4 1/4″ x 8. Scored at 1 1/4″, 2 1/2″, 5 1/2″ and 6 3/4″.

The two outer Designer Series Paper pieces are 1″ x 4″. The inner piece is 3 3/4″ x 4″. The wave strip is about an inch by 5 1/2″. I had cut the scallops.

You are going to see some great ombre cards today! Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to see Cindy Elam and her creations.. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Make a Splash

Perfect for the new Whale of a Time suite of products –

I started with the Pool Party base, adding a piece of the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper, along with another coordinating piece with seahorses.

I added the ‘greenery’ at the bottom of the card to fill in the space. It was just the right touch!

I added the sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. I did fussy cut the whale, although there is a matching punch. It was just faster for this card.

What do you think? Cute, huh?

Happy Saturday – a day of creative sharing for me!

This is blog hop #3 for the day!

Our theme is a fun one to kick off warmer temperatures and summer fun!

I thought about kites flying in the summer breeze –

The kite is placed on a flat card base and opens –

How cool is this???

I used a nifty fold that I’ve used for a bird house and a graduation cap to create this kite.

The initial card stock is 4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″. I used the retired Diagonal Scoring Plate to make an ‘X’ through the center score line. From there, I trimmed the sides of the kite. I folded the score lines to create the pop up kite. To keep kite closed, a hook and loop dot did the trick!

I used the soo summery Whale of a Time Designer Series paper for the kite and ‘water’ the kit is flying over.

The box sentiment is from Happiest of Birthdays.

The retired Whisper White Baker’s Twine made a nice tail to mimic the jellyfish tentacles.

What do you think? Pretty nifty, huh?
