Wondrous Wreath for CCMC324

Welcome back!  Today I have another Wondrous Wreath card to share.  This one is for the color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.



I used last week's sketch and today's colors to come up with this fun wreath card.



This was the card I had planned to make for last week's sketch, but my stamps weren't here yet.  Since I had this idea already and the colors worked, I went ahead and made it.

The card base is Baked Brown Sugar with a Woodgrain embossed layer offset.  Two banners in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler embossed with Stylish Stripes make up the next layer.



The wreath is Garden Green with Cherry Cobbler berries.  A bow die cut from Trim the Tree Designer Paper adorns the top.  Joy die cut from Gold foil paper is along the bottom.  A few stars (gotta have some!) sprinkled around complete the card.




Now it's your turn!  I hope you will join the challenge with me.  You can find all the details plus more great samples at Create with Connie and Mary.    While you are there, be sure to check out the FREE tutorials and beautiful samples we have as part of preview week for the Holiday Collection.  Now is a great time to subscribe while we have the early bird price!  I hope you'll join us!





Thanks for visiting!!  Happy stamping!!

    What a great way to combine the sketch and colors. I love the woodgrain background and the sprinkling of stars. Stars are always a great addition!

    Pretty little stars that glimmer in the background and love how you cut the bow with DSP rather than stamping it!

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
