Santa Stache for CCMC318

It's Thursday (already!) and I can't wait for you to see my card today!  I had so much fun making this card for the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge.  Here's the colors for this week.



I love the soft look of these colors, a very beautiful combination.  It took me a little to figure out what to do because I wanted to use new stamps and I only have Halloween and Christmas to work with.  So, I went with Santa Stache.



Isn't this nutcracker perfect with these colors?!  I love the mustache with Basic Grey, he looks so dapper!  Here's a list of supplies.

Stamps:  Santa Stache
Paper: Basic Grey. Soft Sky, Hello Honey, Whisper White
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black
Blendabilities:  Smokey Slate, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Skin Tones
Accessories: Mustache Framelit, Lucky Star Embossing Folder, Confetti Stars Punch

Now, head on over to Create with Connie and Mary for more details about the challenge plus more beautiful cards from the Design Team.  They also have all the details about the Holiday Card "Create"tions Collection that starts next week, you won't want to miss it!


Thanks for visiting!  Happy Stamping!!

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 wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along with Frosted Se

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! 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
