Nov 29, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Christmas, Create with Connie & Mary |
It is time for a new Thursday challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. It seems like it has been a long time – but it has really just been two weeks. I hope you enjoyed the double challenge – the shaped card using the sketch. But now it is time for a new one and this week is a color challenge – Wisteria Wonder, Baja Breeze, Silver Glimmer.
The only think I could think of was snowflakes. So I made some silver glimmer snowflakes and took a card I had made a couple of weeks ago and modified it to fit this color challenge. I originally saw a similar card on Pinterest and then on Heather Summer’s blog.
The card base is Baja Breeze. I cut strips of Whisper White and embossed them with the Snow Flurry embossing folder – and I actually go to use my new Texture Boutique Embosser – which Stampin’ Up! briefly had for sale – but they sold out so quickly – I do hope they get more in so everyone else can buy one too. After they were embossed I cut the ends to turn them into flags and attached them to the card base. I stamped the Christmas Blessings in Wisteria Wonder. I cut snowflakes with the Big Shot and the Silver Glimmer paper. The top one was colored with the Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Write Marker (I’m not positive that I like that – I think I should have left it silver). I layered all the snowflakes and put the Wisteria Wonder brad through the center and then finally added a bit of Baja Breeze Seam Binding ribbon behind it.
Finally I decided to get my Silver smooch and spray the whole card to give it more glimmer. It really doesn’t look good in the picture – it looks better in person – but I’m just not much of a glimmer girl so maybe I should have done without.
In any case this is my color challenge card for this week.

Yes the wind was an issue and blowing through Ally’s hair. I had the chance to see my niece and nephew the other day when Noah played in a soccer tournament not to far away. While Noah played soccer, Ally went to the climbing tree at the end of the field. I went to take pictures of her and got these cute ones of her trying to keep her hair out of her face. Little girl smiles and giggles – what fun!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Enjoy your day with family and friends. The turkey is in the oven, the pie is made, ham is in the fridge, casseroles are ready to go in the oven and the table is set. Now to wait on the kids to wake up and watch the parade on tv. I’m hoping we can get some good family photos today that we’ll be able to use on a Christmas card.
This is a cute little pumpkin tea light project. I found the idea on Pinterest – it was created by Connie Stewart. In the center is a little battery operated tea light. So it glows when you turn it on. I left one of the vellum strips un attached and then you pull it open to get to the tea light. We made this as a stamp club project.
I built mine a little different from Connie – I glued all the pieces to the top piece instead of the bottoms because I really wanted the top pieces to all be even. I added an extra flower to the top to there is a double layer of leaves on the top.
Colors are Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Early Espresso and then Vellum card stock, Very Vanilla and the Champagne Glimmer paper.
The strips are embossed and sponged. I believe they are 3/4″ wide for each strip and 4-1/4″ long.
I wanted to show it lit so I took a picture in the dark so you could see the candle in there. It looks really nice in person – not so good in this dark photo.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
