CCMC169 & CPS134

DSCF8499-1

Happy Friday, peeps!  It finally looks like it may actually be fall here in SE PA….I felt like I was visiting my sister in SC the last two weeks…humid & damp!  Anyhoo, I saw this lovely color combo while blurfing at 3 am over at Create with Connie & Mary (sinus headache) and couldn’t wait to use it for a masculine get-well card I needed!  Here’s the combo:

CCMC169

Cool, huh?   Well, in my bleary-eyed state, I was pretty sure that center image was Crumb Cake, so that’s what I used on my card---oops!  I hope Connie & Mary don’t totally disqualify me!  I used sketch 134 from Card Patterns, too:

and here’s my creation:

Not much stamping, just a lot of embossing and texturing!  I used the Backgrounds #1 Texture Plate for the base; Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice for the circles, and my new Simply Scored for the panel.  Here’s a closer view of that:

I scored it at 1/8” intervals.  The Simply Scored really makes quick work of it! 

Wee Details:

  • Stamps:  Always in my Thoughts (ret)
  • Paper:  Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Basic Black
  • Ink:  Stazon
  • Acc:  Simply Scored, Small Oval & 1” Circle Punches, Background 1 Textures Plate, Perfect Polka Dots & Square Lattice Embossing Folders, Pinked Hearts Border Punch, Narrow Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/16” Hole Punch, Linen Thread, Dimensionals

And just so you don’t think that us demonstrators are the only ones who get excited when a SU box arrives:

And sorry about the mismatched outfit—we had a very dirty play day!  Thanks for visiting today!

  1. I'm too old and tired to be around your little energizer bunny, but I'll take the box she's playing in. . . (with all the things that came in it of course).
