Peace and Blackberry Bliss

Have I told you how much I love Blackberry Bliss??  Well I do!!  So I have several cards coming up in the next two weeks featuring this gorgeous color. Today's card is a quick one layer beauty.

Just because a card is one layer doesn't mean it has to be boring, this one certainly isn't!  The richness of the Blackberry Bliss gives a real wow factor along with the bit of bling from the silver glimmer sentiment.  Guess where I got the design idea....

To create this simple look, I first sponged a Blackberry Bliss circle.  I used a negative from where I die cut a circle for a previous project.  It happened to be handy on my desk so I ran with it!  I added in two snowflakes, one with Razzleberry ink and the other with Blackberry Bliss.  Lastly, I added Wisteria Wonder stars and dots, stamping off once to make it nice and light.  To re-create this quick card for yourself, check out the supply list below.

    This is a gorgeous card. Generally, I prefer only traditional red, green and white cards, but this is beautiful.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
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 wit...

A Cupcake Birthday and BLOG CANDY!

Image
Today is the second day of Preview Week for the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection 2014!  And I am super excited because it's my turn to offer BLOG CANDY!!  First, let me show you my card for today.  And yes...it's another birthday card! Isn't this just too cute!!  Do you recognize this card at all?  Well, I used a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge card that I made two weeks ago as my inspiration.  I just loved the banners so much from that card and thought they would be even cuter with this little cupcake. I changed up the colors and stamps but kept the design the same. The first part of the design was the cupcake and sentiment.  I stamped the cupcake pieces and punched them out to adhere to the card.  The sentiment was stamped next to it on the Whisper White. With the bottom of the card in place, the banners were easier to arrange.  I alternated my colors, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, and Strawberry Slush....
