It’s a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. And for this week I made a celebration card!
This week we are working with a color Challenge –
This was a quick card that just kind of popped out of nowhere.
I think I still have the single stamps on my mind. I used another one this week – the Celebrate image from the Seasonal Sayings set in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. From there I started adding layers. Then I thought it needed a spritz of color – so I took out the color spritzer tool and added some spritz. Which then made me think it kind of look like it could be fireworks. So I think this would be really cute as a red, white and blue card but since it isn’t the colors that I was working with this is maybe a birthday celebration card or for some milestone or accomplishment.
I added the stamped/punched stars and then got the bright idea to add the frayed ribbon to make it look like shooting stars! So lets celebrate and go create!
Stampin’ Up! Supplies:
- Stamps: Seasonal Sayings, Merry Minis
- Ink: Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Markers
- Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla

It’s a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. This weeks challenge CCMC210 is going to last for two weeks. Some of the design team will be at the Stampin’ Up! Convention next week – so you have two weeks to play along. And this week is a color challenge. I came up with this fun card with a brand new stamp set – the set is called Moving Forward – and it is the cute new Ronald McDonald House stamp set. You can find it in the very back of the catalog.
I decided that I wanted to separate the images and the words so I could use them by themselves. But since I got this set as a clear mount I figured out it was super easy to keep them separated and use them together – I just cut between the image and the words and when I want to use them together I can just mount them on the clear block together – because I cut them apart – they will fit perfectly back together when I put them on the block to stamp.
Oh before I forget here are the colors we are using – in case you didn’t already figure it out –
This card is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ So Saffron card base. Then I added a Pool Party panel on the front that was punched with the scallop border punch and then I pierced it. The front is Old Olive with the Whisper White and the stamped image – stamp in Old Olive, add Cherry Cobbler accents and color the sail So Saffron. I used the little swirly image in Pool Party to randomly stamp around the bottom of the boat for waves. And I sponged all the way around the white square.
Here is a close up of the Baker’s Twine – that has a tag and a heart button tied to the card front.
And the inside –
I’d love to see what you create with these colors. Make something and then visit Create with Connie & Mary and submit your entry. Each challenge is open for a week. And then a new challenge will be issued. Except this one will be TWO WEEKS long.
