CCMC 212 Muted Christmas

Hello peeps and happy Friday to you all! I love Friday, it’s such a great day! I have lots to get accomplished this weekend and I’m hosting card class this monday so I have to come up with some neat projects over the weekend and bring some semblance of order to my house! Like I said, lots to do!

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week the ladies have given us a color challenge…

Like I said the other day I’m really into the non-tradiotional holiday colors. I am determined to use all kind of unusual combinations this year. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Sahara Sand Card Stock. I adhered it to the card base with some SNAIL. The middle group starts with a piece of Real Red that I cut out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies. I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack and my Paper-Piercing Tool around the edge. The center stamped images are from the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set and are stamped in Real Red and Basic Black. I punched the frame out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and adhered it and the window to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of retired Basic Black 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon is adhered under the window with some Sticky Strip. The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set and is also stamped in Real Red. I used the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to make the ticket corners on both the Whisper White and Real Red and then mounted it to the card with some more Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the color combination and the new Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Embossing folder paired with the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set makes Holiday cards simple and elegant! I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card. Have an awesome day! 🙂

CCMC 211 Sketch Challenge and Sneak Peek

Hello and welcome to the Saturday edition of my JK Cards! LOL! I’m trying to think of some different ways to start my posts. 🙂 What are you all doing for the weekend? Did you watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics? I DVR’d it so I can skip through what I don’t really want to see. I have two parties to go to today so I get to see my peeps which is always great! Maybe later I’ll tune in to see what’s going on. over in London.

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week the lovely ladies have given us this sketch…

I wanted to do a holiday card and use some more of the new products but I didm’t want to use traditional colors. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used a piece of the new Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack* for the center and cut two pieces of Very Vanilla with the Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies. I adhered the cut pieces to the card and then the whole thing to the base with some SNAIL. The Cherry Cobbler doily in the middle is cut out with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlit Dies and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used some Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed the ornament from the new Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set* with Versamark. The coordinating Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies* make cutting them out a breeze. The ornament is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Vintage Faceted Designer Series Button is threaded with Linen Thread and I tied a piece of Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla to it that I stamped with merry from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set and punched out with the Jewelry Tag Punch. The embellishment is adhered to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. For the greeting across the bottom I stamped the first half of christmas cheer from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler and cut it out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker to edge it before mounting it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like this card, especially the color combination. It has an understated elegant holiday feel to it. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card and thank you so much for checking in. Have an excellent day!

CCMC 210 Color Challenge and Vermont

Good morning! How is everyone today? I’m great! My friend and I drove up to Vermont last night, we left Manhattan around 5:45 and we got here at 11:45. The drive was not too bad once we got out of the city. We drove all the way here with the top down in the car. I woke up this morning and here is the view see when I walk outside…

Pretty, isn’t it? I’ll take some more pictures to post tomorrow, it really is just beautiful up here.

Now on to today’s post that is for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

I decided to do a nice simple card using mainly elements that are either cut out with the Big Shot or punched. The base of the card is Old Olive Card Stock. I embossed a piece of So Saffron with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. Using the Big Shot and the Perfect Pennants Die I cut out a few pieces in Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper Piercing Tool around the edge of the Pool Party piece. The Cherry Cobbler piece is edged with the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border Punch, I cut the punched pieces in half and then used some 2-Way Glue to adhere them to the back. The small scalloped circle is punched from a piece of Old Olive using the new 1 1/4″ Scalloped Circle Punch from the Holiday Catalog. I stamped the images from the A Fitting Occasions Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler and So Saffron. The Cherry Cobbler image is punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch and I cut the party hat out with my Paper Snips. They are both mounted to the pennant with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The two smaller pennants are punched out with the Pennants Builder Punch in Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party. I used the Cupcake Builder Punch for the candles and that completes the card. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card and thanks for visiting. I’m off to the country store for some half & half! Have an awesome day!

CCMC 209 and Sneak Peek

A good Saturday morning to you all! It’s supposed to be a scorcher here on Long Island today and from what I saw the rest of the country too. On days like today I like to stay inside in the A/C and craft! What better way to spend the day than being cool and creative?! 🙂

Today’s post is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week they have provided us with this nice sketch…

I am a big fan of anything that is flagged so I love this! I also finished mounting my stamps from the new Holiday Catalog and couldn’t wait to use one set in particular. I love the Affection Collection* Stamp Set. It has a great whimsical tattooed feel to it. The base of my card is Basic Gray Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Real Red Card Stock with the new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. I took a piece of Pool Party and Basic Gray and flagged the ends. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper-Piercing Tool on the sides of both and adhered them to the card with SNAIL. I stamped one of the images from the Affection Collection* Stamp Set in Basic Gray on Vellum Card Stock and adhered a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon to it with Sticky Strip. All of the other images are also from the Affection Collection* Stamp Set. The scalloped background piece is stamped in Pool Party, the flagged #1 is stamped in Real Red and the heart with wings are stamped in Basic Gray and Real Red. I cut all of the elements out with my Paper Snips and used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to hold them together. A small piece of Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon completes the collage. The greeting, also from the same set, is stamped in Real Red and cut out with my Paper Snips too and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I’m in love with this Stamp Set and can’t wait to play with it some more. I can’t wait for you to get your copy of the new Holiday Catalog and start making your lists! I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card and, as always, thank you so much for stopping by. Stay cool and have a great day!

CCMC 208

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope that you all made it through the week ok. I have to finish the wedding invites today and then later I’m going to go into the city with my daughter to see my peeps! If it’s as hot today as it was yesterday I think a movie would be a great idea! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

These are three colors that I have never put together before but I love the combination. The base of my card is Basic Gray Card Stock. The top of the background is a piece from the Brights Stack Designer Series Paper. The bottom is a piece of Very Vanilla with the flourish from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set stamped in Pumpkin Pie. I used a piece of Pumpkin Pie Ribbon from the Clearance Rack to cover the seam. The flowers and the gray stamped plaque are also from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set. The plaque is stamped in Basic Grey. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies to cut out the greeting which is stamped in Basic Grey on Pumpkin Pie and is from the From My Heart Stamp Set. Both pieces are adhered to each other and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flowers are stamped on Watercolor Paper in Basic Black Ink (which I have found that if you let dry for about 10 minutes it is waterproof) and I used my Aqua Painter to color them in with Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Ink. They too are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create With Connie and Mary Color Challenge card. I’m really happy with the card and will definitely be using this color combination again. Thank you so much for dropping by and have a great Saturday!

Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday! It’s my friend Tony’s 30th birthday today and we are having a little party for him later. I’ll get to see my peeps! Wee! It’s supposed to be nice out today and in the 80’s. Yesterday we had torrential rain for about 2 hours and it is still muggy out. My friend Kim is also coming out to visit from Manhattan tomorrow, it’s going to be a great weekend!

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a sketch challenge to work with…

I looked at it an thought how nice and simple, I still managed to use about 10 different things! The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. The top part of the angled paper is a piece from the World Spectacular Designer Series Paper. Next we have a piece of Calypso Coral 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon. On the Very Vanilla piece I used the Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies and the letters are from the Lovely Letters Alphabet Stamp Set and they are stamped in Midnight Muse. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get them all lined up. The you on the bottom was markered in Midnight Muse and is from the retired Engraved Greetings. I punched it out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and then used the Decorative Label Punch with some Calypso Coral to mount it on before adhering it to the card with SNAIL. For a little balance I used one of the Everyday Enchantment Brads from the 2012 Sale-A-Bration catalog. I punched out a piece of Midnight Muse with the 3/4″ Circle Punch and used the Paper-Piercing Tools and the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack for a little added texture. It’s mounted to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. The color combination is very different for me and I like it more than I though I would. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create with Connie and Mary card and that you have a wonderful Saturday! Thanks for checking in! 🙂

Good morning! How is everyone this fine Saturday? The weather is supposed to be nice here today so I am going to have to go for a ride in the convertible later. I also have to start on my brother and his fiancĂ©’s invitations. It’s going to be another crafty weekend! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color Challenge…

I have been wanting to use the Fine Feathers Stamp Set and thought this would be a good color combination to take a first run with it. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler and embossed it with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It’s backed with a piece of Island Indigo Card Stock and adhered to the card with SNAIL. I stamped the feathers from the Fine Feathers Stamp Set in Island Indigo and cut them out with my Paper Snips. They are adhered to the chevron piece with SNAIL. I stamped the bird from the Nature Walk Stamp Set in Crumb cake and cut him out With my Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the Crumb Cake Stampin Write Marker and adhered him to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo and backed with a piece of Cherry Cobbler. The long feather is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the detail in the Fine Feather Stamps and the chevrons mimic the v’s in the feathers. I hope that you are inspired by this weeks Create with Connie and Mary card and that you have a great Saturday. Thank you for checking in and I’ll see you tomorrow!

I used a little creative license and moved things around a bit because I wanted to use the new World Treasures Stamp Set.

Behind the peacock is a piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock that I embossed with the new Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

CCMC 204 Up, Up & Away Birthday

Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! What kind of plans do you all have for the Weekend? I’m off to the city today for a bit to see a friend and do some consulting. I love going to Manhattan! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

I am a big fan of the 2011-2013 In-Colors and Early Espresso was one of the first colors I got when I joined Stampin’ Up! I was also a little inspired by the new layout of the Create with Connie and Mary blog. I made a 3D window card using some 12″ x 12″ Wisteria Wonder Card Stock cut to 5 1/2″ x 12″. It is scored at 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 7″, 8″ and 11″. The windows are cut out of the two larger sides so when you fold it the middle is the back of the card. The best thing about this card is that it folds flat and fits in a standard medium envelope. The clouds in the background were made using the Cupcake Builder Punch. The frosting makes great clouds! I stamped the birds from the Up, Up & Away Stamp Set in Early Espresso. The balloons are stamped in Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade and the baskets are stamped in Early Espresso. On two of the baskets I used tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals to give them a little more depth. The greeting is stamped in Early Espresso too and the flags are stamped in Wisteria Wonder. I thought the card need a little bling so I used 4 of the Basic Jewels Rhinestones on the four corners of the greeting.I love these 3D cards and hope that you enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to pay me a visit! Have an awesome Saturday!!

CCMC 203 and Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a nice weekend. It was in the 80’s here today and I took a ride in the convertible and Winston went to the groomers and I spent a lot of time crafting today! For me, it was a great day! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a sketch challenge…

I wanted to use some cool tones so I went with Midnight Muse* and the Basic Grey from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Midnight Muse Card Stock* and the background is Twitterpated DSP. I used the Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die to cut out a piece of Whisper White Card Stock. With a little work and some help from your Paper Piercer the end result is a really nice paper doily. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on a sliver of Basic Grey for the bottom. The greeting is from the Keep Calm Stamp Set** and is stamped in Midnight Muse*. I used the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies** to cut out the “and” and popped it up on a Stampin’ Dimensional which I also used to adhere the greeting to the card. The pocketbook is from the same set and I mounted it to a 1″ circle with another Stampin’ Dimensional. I love the simplicity of the card and the colors. I’m also loving the Keep Calm** set and can’t wait to order some more new items from the Catalog on Thursday! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great Sunday!
