Golden Stars for CCMC280

It's Thursday and time for this week's challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  We have a color challenge for you - Night of Navy, Gold and Whisper White.







I love these colors for Christmas, very elegant.  I decided to to gold embossing for my card and keep it simple.  Here's what I came up with.



Here's the basics of my simple Christmas card.

1.  Night of Navy for the card base.

2.  Cut Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.

3.  Ran the edges of the Whisper White layer through Versa Mark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.



4.  Die cut a piece of Night of Navy with one of the Apothecary Accents Framenlits.  I used the large Oval Punch to cut out the center so I could add a banner.

5.  The banner is a 1/2" x 3" piece of Whisper White card stock.  I made a banner end using the Hexagon punch then embossed the My Paper Pumpkin greeting in gold.  I also stamped and embossed three stars from MPP.  I fussy cut them and added them to the card with a dab of Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive.

That's it for my simple yet elegant Christmas card.  These were great colors to work with, I hope you will join along!  You can find all the details and more samples from the Design Team at Create with Connie and Mary.  Thanks for visiting today!

    So creative how you cut the oval in the label and tucked the sentiment banner!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad

I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confetti Star Punch an
