Today’s card is continuing my coloring spree! I made this faux Mondrian card to accompany yesterday’s stained glass card. So much fun to make!
Stamps: Suite Sayings (retired)
Inks: Real Red; various Stampin’ Blends
Cardstock: Graceful Glass Vellum DSP; Night of Navy; Whisper White
Accessories: Daffodil Delight 1/4” Double Stitched Ribbon; Night of Navy Crinkled Ribbon (retired)
Tools:
I love this great card of layered DSP. I always want to highlight the beautiful patterns of our DSP, but often we mask it under stamps and other pieces. For this card, I kept my stamping to a simple sentiment to showcase the beautiful flowers.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the sketch below.
I keep forgetting that I have this gorgeous paper pack. Thank goodness I found it again while perusing my supplies for this card sketch. The contrast between the white and navy is a perfect highlight to my copper embossed flower. Very classic card.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a cupcake card. I don't have a cupcake stamp set, so I had to improvise. I cut out my own cupcake liner from the Tasty Treats DSP. From there I added a cupcake cut from Peekaboo Peach and embossed with the Falling Softly Folder. And who doesn't love a shaker card! I had to have a bit of fun with the Sprinkles Embellishments to finish the card.
Hello everyone! With the close of every Stampin' Up Annual Catalog, we have to say goodbye to five In Colors. This May, we will be losing the following colors:
Initially I wasn't a huge fan of these colors. It seemed to be a odd combination. But over the past two years, I have grown to like all of the colors. In fact, I have grown to love love love Mint Macaron. It will be sad to lose these colors, but I am devastated to lose Mint Macaron. Hands down my favorite! Today I'm celebrating Mint Macaron and giving it a proper sendoff with three fun cards!
My first card is actually one I made using a ton of retired products. I don't usually hang on to retired stamp sets (preferring to sell them and get new ones), but I have kept two sets that get pulled out time and time again: Four You and Four Feathers! This great monochrome triptych features both of those retired sets plus one current set (Timeless Textures) and a great accessory (Mint Macaron Striped Ribbon). Simple card, yet it highlights the color beautifully.
Card two features a Holiday Catalog stamp set that is carrying over! I immediately fell for the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and Punch and love that I can use it beyond Christmas time. The little suit stamp is perfect as a teddy bear. And I love the color combination of Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake. The soft colors make a great gender neutral baby card. This card also features the In Color DSP pack. I love these packs for great background pieces. SU sells the DSP packs in both In Color collections, Brights, Regals, Subtles, and Neutrals.
Finally I am featuring my favorite color combination: Mint Macaron and Rich Razzleberry. Purple is my favorite color and I love the green and purple combo of these two colors. I am again featuring the In Color DSP as my background paper. I kept the main image of the card fairly simple with a jar full of flowers.
Super sad that we only have a few weeks left with Mint Macaron, but hey, maybe they will eventually bring it back when Stampin' Up does another color refresh. A girl can dream, right?
Stamp Sets to Use:
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create an unusually shaped card. I chose to make the twisted gate fold. It looks complicated, but promise it was super easy to make. Do a quick Google search to find a tutorial. For my embellishments, I just added a few punched flowers to the outside. The inside features a simple Easter message. A fun shaped card for today!
Stamp Sets to Use:
Today's card features one of our gorgeous hostess sets: Fabulous Flora. I wanted to find a design to highlight this great flower stamp. I think this card captures the image perfectly.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the colors below.
My card is simple, but I really loved making it. I haven't used the Papillon Potpurri stamp set and butterfly punches in such a long time and I don't know why. I love butterflies! So I pulled it back out and went to town mixing the colors with a fun background. Simple yet effective. That seems to be my style right now and I'm okay with it!

I decided to make a birthday card using the beautiful Succulent Garden DSP. This card is perfect for kids and adults alike! I created a little Sweet Sugarplum kitty cat as my focal point. He looked a little plain in the circle, so I added a stump and a decorative border. Much better!

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a New Year's Card. I decided to use the fun Paisleys stamp set one last time this season. After three different attempts, I landed on this great design using a circle mask. All I needed to add was a simple sentiment and layer of DSP. Can't wait to see everyone in 2017!
