Bohemian You’re So Sweet

Only ONE more day until the new catalog begins.
One of the things I really like in the new catalog is the color coordination
in the designer papers.  Stampin' Up! made things easy for us this year,
right beside the designer paper is a cardstock package that has
three different colors of cardstock that all coordinate with the designer paper.
You no longer have to try to figure out what cardstock to get that matches.
Each package of coordinating cardstock has 8 sheets or 3 different colors.
Order the designer paper and the coordinating cardstock and you are all
set to make lots of cards.
Bohemian You're So SweetThis was one of the cards at my Relay for Life Sneak Peek last week.
The card base is Island Indigo with a layer of the brand new In Color — Delightful Dijon.
I cut the pieces of the designer paper and layered on Rich Razzleberry cardstock.
I stamped the Just For You (from You're So Sweet stamp set) on Very Vanilla
cardstock using Delightful Dijon ink.
I trimmed with Paper Snips and adhered to card front with dimensionals.
Don't forget to add tiny little pearls to finish it off.

Build a Birthday

I think this is one of my new favorite stamp sets.
It's in the new Annual Catalog and it's called Build a Birthday.
There are so many fun images in this set.
Build a BirthdayThe base of the card is Watermelon Wonder (a new In Color).
Next is a layer of Bermuda Bay, then Whisper White.
On the Whisper White layer I added strips of the new
Cherry on Top Washi Tape (love this stuff).
I stamped the cake base using Tip Top Taupe (new In Color),
the bottom of the cake is Bermuda Bay (I love how this image
coordinates with the Washi Tape).
The diagonal stripe layer is Watermelon Wonder.
The top layer of the cake is Crushed Curry.
The banner on top is stamped with Tip Top Taupe.
I added Rhinestones to the banner to "dress" it up a little.
I adhered the stamped layer to Bermuda Bay and
adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

I love this color combinations and the Cherry on the Top Washi Tape and DSP
is awesome — I know I need to order more right away.

You’ve Got This and Mint Macraron

Five new In Colors to play with.
It's time to say hello to this year's In Colors — Delightful Dijon, Watermelon Wonder,
Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Mint Macraron.
At my Relay for Life Sneak Peek Thursday night I introduced the new
colors to everyone.
This is the one of the cards they made — it uses the Mint Macraron.
You've Got ThisThe stamp set is You've Got This.
The card base is Mint Macraron with a layer of Smoky Slate.
First I stamped the flower image on a large Sticky Note and cut out.
Then I stamped the image on the Whisper White cardstock.
I place the Sticky Note flower only the flower on the cardstock (masking it).
Next I stamped the hash background using Smoky Slate ink.
Last I stamped the words in the lower right corner.
Don't forget to color the stem using the Mint Macraron Marker and
the center of the flower I used So Saffron.
