Welcome back!  To all of you who stopped by during the Blog Hop yesterday , THANK YOU!  It was a great kick off for the new Card "Create"tions Collection starting tomorrow!  During the three weeks of the collection we will be sharing a small favor on Saturdays that compliments our cards.  I decided to do a favor to share with you today that goes with yesterday's Card in a Box. Isn't this fun!  I used my scraps from yesterday to put this cute little chocolate holder together. The holder is a piece of Pear Pizzaz cut 1 15/16" x 6" then punched with the Scallop Tag on each end.  I scored it in the center at 3". I added a square of Daffodil Delight polka dot DSP to the front before adding the greeting.  To make the white label stand out, I punched a 1 3/4" circle of Tangerine Tango card stock to place underneath. I placed a chocolate inside with a tiny bit of SNAIL to hold it in place.  Then I used Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon ...

Welcome to today's special BLOG HOP with the Design Team for the Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions Collection.  I am super excited to be a part of the team, this is such a talented group of ladies.  If you are following the loop, you should be coming from Melissa Davie's blog , she is such an amazing artist!  I always get inspired to create when I see her work!

Isn't this a fun, bright card!  I love the color combo of Pear Pizzaz, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.  They are the perfect colors for a floral Mother's Day card.

It's Friday!!  Happy Valentine's Day!  It's an extra special day for me, my final project for the Spring Collection 2014 posted today.  I would love to share it with you, but the collection is exclusive to subscribers.  Good news though....you can still subscribe to the collection and get to see all of the projects!!  More details about the collection are at Create with Connie and Mary . Now...onto today's card.  I used the same stamp set as my project for the collection, My Mother.  This is a really wonderful set, but you don't have to use it just for Mother's Day.  I used it for a Thank you card! Isn't this a fun card!  I used a little bit of this and a little bit of that to bring it to life.  It's basically a Crumb Cake card base with all sorts of fun elements.  The first thing added was stamping with Extreme Elements.  Next are three strips of Washi Tape.  I also added in the gold elastic cord from the Sale-a-bration G...
