It's Saturday and that means another fun Saturday Challenge with Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition. This challenge is for our subscribers to participate in and earn a change to win one of two $75 gift certificates or one of two free subscriptions to the next Edition of Create with Connie and Mary. This week the Design Team has been hard at work creating projects using Angelic Joy, Rejoicing in Christmas, Fireside Christmas and the Northern Hearts Hostess Set. I know that I have been really inspired by all the projects so far and know you will be too! It's not to late to join you can find all the information HERE.
For this weeks challenge we are focusing on All That Glitters. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew that I wanted to come up with a wintery card. Here what I made:
I started with a Soft Suede base and randomly stamped all three snowflakes from the Northern Hearts Hostess Set with the matching classic ink. I then took a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry Textured Embossossing Folder. I decided that this would be my main focal point so I used the debossed side of the large snowflake and outline it with a Two Way Glue pen and lots of Dazzling Diamonds.
I also created "icicles" by using Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds by drawning the icicle pattern on wax paper and letting it dry over night. I then peeled then off and attached it to the card. The Very Vanilla was matted on to Early Espresso and I also used some of the very pretty Marina Mist Satin Ribbon. The sentiment is from Bright Christmas (in the Holiday Mini) and I stamped it using Early Espresso Ink. I accented the card with a delicate Very Vanilla snowflake from the Northern Frost Decorative Strip, sponged the edges with Marina Mist and finished it off with a Rhinestone Jewel.

There is a new project posted every day and there will be an average of two fabulous tutorials each and every week and a Project Sheet to print out for every project not having a tutorial! The site stays up long after the 8 week session is done, so you will still have access to the site and the tutorials.
