Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Christmas Card

Hi!

The inspiration image at The Card Concept's challenge this week is a beautiful basket of pink Easter eggs.

Here are the essentials:

• I don't really sent Easter cards so I took my cue from the holiday idea and created a Christmas card.
• The pinks on the eggs reminded me of a retired colour from Stampin' Up called Regal Rose...so pretty on shimmer white paper!
• A giant rhinestone is the perfect finishing touch to the ornament.  

Here’s the inspiration image.....

I hope you like my card! :)

Card recipe

Stamps - Cozy Christmas, Ornament Keepsakes

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Botanical Gardens + Happy Birthday Everyone

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

Here are the essentials:

• I wanted to use a bold pattern as my background and have all the other elements as miniature pieces. Botanical Gardens DSP has some amazing patterns and I chose the leafy one for this card. 
• The angled greeting took on a life of its own and became a tag. I used the Gold Glitter Tape and made a faux-ribbon.  
• Use your scraps! I had a doily-cut off, a vellum scrap piece and a gold glimmer butterfly that I had punched but not used sitting in my embellishments case. I threw them on this card and it worked in an eclectic kinda way.  

Here is our sketch for this week:

Card recipe

Stamp - Happy Birthday Everyone

Ink - Mossy Meadow

Cardstock - Whisper White cardstock, Botanical Gardens DSP, Botanical Gardens Vellum, Gold Glimmer Paper

Tools - Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin’ Dimensionals, SNAIL, Itty Butterfly Punch, Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Paper Snips
Accessories - Metallic Sequins, Gold Glitter Tape, Doily

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Botanicals For You

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

Here are the essentials:

• I looked to the Botanical Gardens DSP paper pack for inspiration since all three colours are in that suite. I saw that the Hello Honey & Cajun Craze papers were quite gender neutral so this set the tone for my card.
• Snip! Snip! Cut up your sentiments to fit your card....I stamped the sentiment but realised that it wasn't going to fit across my card when I needed it, so I cut it up and it worked perfectly! :)
• Use up your candy dots! Rule of 3....pick a corner. Always looks good. :)    

Here are our colours for this week:

Here is the sketch from The Paper Players:
