New Color Charts 2010

Color Renovation means that we all have to have new charts for our Colors!!! So I was working on it this weekend, and although I sold my "old" in-color ink pads, and I don't have the new colors yet, I decided to make the chart and try to put in as many colors as I have! I have almost all the cardstock (no River Rock), so I did pretty good in showing all the colors of our New Color Families!

After the Catalog comes in (or when I have a chance to be able to put in the item numbers, I will have the chart completed.)

I am offering to my customers, a FREE Session to make a color chart! This will probably be in June or July....but, I will have all the inks and cardstocks ready for you to mount on your own printed charts!


Of course, if you live too far away to come to my house, I am more than willing to mail to you a chart with all the colors STAMPED on it, and you can attached the color cardstock chips to it for 5.00 (which includes the postage). This offers is first for my customers, and downline, and my mailing list!

If you, my blog reader would like one, please contact me later in June so I can add you to my list! I will send you the pdf files once they are finalized with all the item numbers if you want to make your own for FREE!

Season of Simple Grace

Season of Simple Grace

Doesn't that say enough?
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord" Luke 2:11

Lift up the flap, and open the "doors" of th gate fold card, and you will see the reason why we celebrate the season....

Very simply stamped in Soft Suede on whisper white, and then lightly colored in using blenders and markers....



The panels both open up to have the 3 Kings and the Shepherds and the sheep peering up at Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus...

This is a very simple pop up, using 2 thin strips of cardstock that is folded in fourths, and made to pop out as the card opens.


Very simply done!

Season's Greeting Bermuda Bay Style!

ha...is that a funny title? This card looks blue but it is actually a greenish color. Bermuda Bay is a lighter shade of teal, with a blue tone.

I used the Tagz die again, and I just think the little scallop edge is so cute. It does fit the Scallop circle punch PERFECTLY, so you know I will be doing something with that eventually...

The stamps are from the Two Cool Dudes set, which includes 2 snowmen and snowflake and the Seasons' Greetings is from the Many Merry Messages. If you ever need a Holiday Greeting set, this is the one!

I punched the snowflake and the tag from the Shimmery White cardstock and the bow was a tied piece of Bermuda Bay Dotted Ribbon. The snowman die is attached using the brad (to the tag) and the snowflake is attached with a glue dot (the brad was applied first)


At first glance, this color was very bright, and I wasn't sure it would work as a Christmas color, but I think when you see this one in person, maybe it might grow on you....

*smiles*!

More Soft Suede Christmas Cards

I bought this stamp set when it came out last year and never used it (GASP!) but, I really wasn't happy using it with some of the previous papers and colors that I had last year. This year, with Real red and Soft Suede, I think I finally have hit a nice combination. The soft suede gives a bronzy appearance.

The papers in the NEW papers from the Mini catalog are so perfect for this set! This paper is called Christmas Cocoa. The papers are assorted different 2 sided papers, and 2 of the papers are flocked! This is something different from Stampin' Up! I will be featuring more from this package in the future.

I used 2 way glue and glitter in the center of the flowers, in a champagne color. The color almost matches the Soft Suede ink!

I punched a hole using the 1/2" circle punch and then pressed the White Jumbo Eyelet prongs through the hole and then pressed them to the outside (underside of the paper).

The bow was tied and glued to the center of the Eyelet

More glitter to the center of the flowers, adds more glitz!

Are you feeling Christmas yet?

ok, well, maybe just feeling more cooler...after all, it is still summer!!!

Today is my Dad's 75th Birthday...Happy Birthday DAD!

Summer Colors are IN!

---> Stamp A Stacks are so much fun !!!

Well, they can be fun if you're creating something that you can use several of each card.

The idea that I try to incorporate is to create cards that can build up your stash and that you can send to friends for different occasions.....

This color combination was taken from the Summer FUN campaign that Stampin' Up! has on the website (demo side). There are 5 different color combinations that are Summer themed!

I find that these are very summery and can also be "kid" themed or even a little masculine. Of course, they are out of my comfort zone, so that makes this more challenging!

The colors are:
Pumpkin Pie, Ballet Blue, Old Olive and Crushed Curry

What do you think? Summery? Birthday Fun? Cheerful? ...I think it is too! Challenge yourself with these colors!!!

Simple Friendship Scallop Flower

The NEW Textured Embossing folders are so nice! They make such a clear impression. I used the plate for the scallop circle (which I cut each of the scallops so that it looks like petals). The pale plum cardstock is layered with the Daisy 2 die and then the friend was punched out on whisper white cardstock after it was stamped in Rich Razzleberry. The flowers were blended using a blender pen, after stamping.

The other Pale Plum cardstock was embossed using the NEW embossing folder. I layered the Polka dot ribbon on top and then layered it over the Rich Razzleberry cardstock which was stamped with the flower from the Simple Friendship set.

Petal Pizzaz & The 2009-2010 IN-Colors!

At first...I thought these colors were too bright or vibrant. And it wasn't just the colors but the combination...or maybe it was because I really loved the 2008-2009 In-Colors...

But, these are growing on me. I think that the Melon Mambo is really pretty and the Crushed Curry is really a super lovely yellow!
To create this card, You take 2 pieces of cardstock that is 7" x 4 1/4"
Score in 1" and 1 1/2" on both sides of the cardstocks (both pieces) This will accordion fold in.

I then, took a piece of acetate and cut it 4 1/4" x 3". This will make the layer of flowers more dimensional inside the card!
I stamped several flowers in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry,Bermuda Bay (not available yet), and cut them out carefully. I layered them together, and added the Razzleberry Lemonade paper over the Rich Razzleberry Cardstock

You can see the flower on the Acetate.

Put together, this shows some of the layers. The acetate is sandwiched between the cardstock.


Using the new Punch, I punched out the KIND THANKS and added it to the front of the card.....

Wouldn't this brighten your day??

It is only another day til the NEW Catalog starts!!!! Are you ready???

Flower Fancy and Razzleberry Lemonade

One of the new Designer Papers, is Razzleberry Lemonade. Does it make you think of summer days sipping Raspberry lemonade? No?

Well, the name gives me visions of summer days, and the bright colors are fun and full of sweetness and cheer.

I teamed it up with Old Olive and Melon Maddness (bright pink) of course Razzleberry cardstock.

The New ribbons (polka dotted YEAH!) match the new colors of the cardstock and ink pads for the New In-colors. The richness of the colors are fun and happy! I miss the "old" colors, especially Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss, but I am looking forward to the new colors...
