Create with Connie & Mary Sketch#176

I made this quick card with the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch#176 here.
I started by running the Melon Mambo thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. I used up scraps of Cheerful Treat DSP, matting the one with some Lucky Limeade. I stamped the flower from Posy Punch twice, once in Lucky Limeade and once in Melon Mambo. I trimmed down the Limeade piece and cut out the Melon center, popping it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I punched the Limeade piece with the Fancy Flower punch and popped it all up with Stampin' dimensionals.

A Birthday Card for the Stamping 411 Sketch

Long time no post! I had my first craft fair on Sunday and I haven't gotten down to my stampin' space. But I need to send my niece's birthday card, so I made this with the Stamping 411 Sketch#229 here.

The base is Concord Crush. I ran some Melon Mambo thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot embossing folder. I added papers from the Cheerful Treat DSP. I punched the Concord scallop circle with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch and the 1 3/4 inch Circle punch was used for the Whisper White circle. I stamped the cupcake from Create a Cupcake in Mambo, Concord and Lucky Limeade and used the Cupcake Builder punch to punch them all out. I popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from Bring on the Cake and colored it in with Melon Mambo and blender pens.

Big Shot Purse

I realized that I'd made this purse a while back but never posted it. It's perfect for a gift card, candy, jewelry etc, and it's made with Big Shot dies. I've made these before and saw the instructions on Becky Robert's blog here. 

I ran some Melon Mambo thru the Big Shot with the Top Note die and then ran some Cheerful Treat DSP thru too. I trimmed down the DSP. I also used the Scallop Circle#2 die for the flap and the Circles#2 die too. I dotted the scallops with my White Gel pen. I punched out a Lucky Limeade circle with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I stamped the flower from Fruit and Flowers in Melon Mambo, cut it out and added a Lucky Limeade Designer Printed Brad. I used some retired Jumbo eyelets and then finally, some 3/8 inch Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Fruit and Flowers
