Trimmed Down

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are all about cards that are trimmed down....clean and simple!



You may have noticed that I've been into clean and simple cards lately so this was perfect timing for me!  I went with a Sale-a-bration set that I think is perfect for this style of card.....HELLO.

Hello

See what I mean, nice and crisp....love it!  I actually did two cards to show how versatile this clean design can be.  Just change up your color or your sentiment and you have another great card to use!

Hello Melon Mambo becreativewithnicole.com

I started out with a card featuring Archival Black ink (a must have!) and Melon Mambo.  I love this combination of bold colors.

  A simple banner and a party hat is all you need to compliment the giant hello on the card.


Bermuda Hello becreativewithnicole.com


Another wonderful bold color to compliment this card is Bermuda Bay.  This is one of my go to colors for crafting and just about everything else!

Flashback Friday: Travel Time

Image
Welcome to another Flashback Friday!!  Today we travel back to 2003 for the fun stamp set called Travel Time.  I thought this was an appropriate set for this week.  It is Stampin' Up!'s convention this week so a lot of demonstrators are traveling.  Here's what the set looks like. I made a CAS card (clean and simple) with this set.  I have been doing more of the clean look lately, it brings this set a more modern look. The card is very simple, Whisper White card stock and neutral inks.  Here's the details: 1.  Card base is Whisper White.  I stamped the map and suitcase in Crumb Cake .  Stamped the sentiments in Basic Gray. 2.  Stamped the card on Glossy White card stock (boy do I wish this paper was not retired) with StazOn Black ink.  Color was added with markers and blender pen.  I fussy cut the car and added it to the card with dimensionals. That's it!! A CAS card to modernize this set from 10 years ago.  Thanks for flas...

Party Animal

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are all featuring ANIMALS. I almost used the Playful Pals Bundle, but the fun new set BALLOON BUILDERS was calling my name! Isn't this balloon elephant too cute!!  I knew from the start that this little guy needed a string for his balloon.  Let's take a closer look. The thin silver thread was just perfect for the balloon string!  It took a couple tries to get the bow tied, but it was worth the effort! I kept the card pretty simple overall with a pretty design from the gorgeous BIRTHDAY BOUQUET paper in the background.  The elephant was stamped on Whisper White then I cut out the trunk before die cutting the rest with a circle framelit.  I had in mind that he was kind of floating in a balloon himself on the card! BUT, are you wondering why I named this post PARTY ANIMAL and then shared such a sweet and gentle little elephant??  Well, I named the post after my ten year old daughter Sofia who went...

Peachy Keen Jellybean!

Image
I used to love to say "Peachy Keen Jellybean" when I was younger so when I first saw the new Occasions catalog I smiled!  The Peachy Keen stamp set is right up my alley!!  I haven't had the chance to use the bundle much so I pulled it out for this week's Monday Lunchtime Sketch challenge. This sketch is perfect for the Peachy Keen stamps and Gorgeous Grunge. Putting together a fun yet fast card is always a good thing!  I had this card complete in 15 minutes flat...and that's with a fussy baby hanging out next to me in his stroller! The card base is Tangerine Tango with a simple layer of Whisper White. The right side has Gorgeous Grunge stamped with Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar.  I didn't want to over do it and make the card too busy, I wanted the greeting to stand out. Peachy Keen definitely stands out when stamped boldly in Tangerine Tango.  I must admit that up until the last week or so, I hardly ever used this color.  Now, I feel like I am using ...
