Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Parakeet Party/Tahitian Tide Color Combination!

Welcome to a Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Happy Saturday to you! The weather has been so gorgeous here in Maine all week. I think summer is almost here. We have some pretty colors to show you today for our blog hop. Take a look at my card below:

And these are the colors we are all using:

I am so in love with all five of our new In Colors and today we are showing you two of them. I also incorporated new Framed Occasions stamp set, Beautiful Shapes Dies, In Color Baker’s Twine, In Color Matte Decorative Dots and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

Card Layers:

• Card Base: Tahitian Tide Cardstock 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score and fold at 5-1/2″.
• Layer #2: Basic White Cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″. Glue to card base.
• Layer #3: Parakeet Party Cardstock 5″ x 3-3/4″. Emboss with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. Set aside.
• Sentiment Layers: Follow these steps:
  • Stamp the frame of the sentiment using Tahitian Tide Ink on Basic White Cardstock.
  • Stamp the sentiment inside the frame using Parakeet Party Ink.
  • Cut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies.
  • Cut a 2nd hexagon a size larger with Basic White Cardstock.
  • Glue the larger hexagon to the Parakeet Party Cardstock layer about 1″ from the bottom and to the right.
  • Wrap the twine around the cardstock layer three times and tie into a bow at the left.
  • Glue the sentiment layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add In Color Matte Decorative Dots around the hexagons.
  • Glue cardstock layer to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
