Create with Connie and Mary--Christmas Beauty

Hello! I hope you didn’t miss me too much on the Hop last week! I was having some massive techie problems that have not been solved, but I have found a work around so at least I can share in the fun!

This week, the FINAL Saturday, of November we are featuring cards with the theme Christmas Beauty. I decided to make a Z Fold fun card and pair it up with the In The Pines bundle and Tag Buffet stamp set.

Now to be honest, I am not sure I have ever actually MADE a Z Fold card before! Isn’t that wild? I did a quick search on Pinterest (do you follow me?) to get some basic dimensions and then I started stamping!

I actually chose a bit of an unusual color combo as well—Mint Macaron, Rocco Rose and Rich Razzleberry!

We all have our visions of beauty and I decided to create this project with a non-traditional color palette.

I used some designer paper from the Poinsettia Place collection and that helped jump start my color palette.

In my middle panel I decided to stamp the trio of trees in Whisper White Craft Ink and emboss them for a subtle effect. The sentiment is stamped in Just Jade ink of Mint Macaron card stock and cut with the largest circle die.

I added in some Holiday Rhinestones and some Mint Macaron ribbon for some bling! I hope you enjoy all of the amazing projects everyone has to share this week!
