Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Casing Melissa!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Melissa is the team designer we are all casing this week and I picked this card of hers to case:

I hope you have been following us the last few weeks because this teaches you how to use a card layout and colors, add in a different stamp set and you’ll achieve the same design. I opted to use the coordinating Christmas Scottie stamp set and Scottie Dog Punch. Everything else I used is the same as Melissa’s card:

Although the Scottie Dog Punch only has one dog image to cut out, I was able to cut out the other two images from the stamp set using my Paper Snips. The dogs are all so cute!

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Christmas Scottie
• Inks: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Daffodil, Cajun Craze
• Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Basic White
