Fancy Fold

Turn your basic A2 card into a fancy fold by cutting 1 1/4" off the side and it changes the whole card.

How's this for a Notice Me birthday card! Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo combine for one bright Look at Me card.  I cased this layout from Cardmaker and it is one I will use again.  Here is the inside

All the Mambo Melon is stamped with Bella Toile background stamp and clear embossed then matted with Crushed Curry.  The birthday cake from Fun & Fast Notes is colored with my In Color markers and the sentiment is from On Your Birthday. Yes, it's true, I am really starting to love the In Colors!

Happy Stamping

Friends 24/7

 Simple card, nice stamp set.  Soft Suede, one of the new In Colors, is one that I am really trying to use.  I find that Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry are my favorites so I have refused to allow myself to use them and have been trying hard to give the other colors a chance.  The funny thing is, the most you use them, the easier it is!

This card uses Soft Suede ink, ribbon and cardstock so I really did use the color.  Mix in some Old Olive my favorite and I am a happy stamper.

Happy stamping

A tisket a tasket how about this basket

 Rich Razzleberry Cardstock and Melon Mambo Designer Paper makes this picnic basket come alive.  I have used the Birds & Blooms Sizzlits dies to make the flowers which I have sponged all the edges.  Notice the flower centers our Circle Fire Rhinestone brads. The tag is from Oval All and punched with the Scalloped oval punch and attached with dimensionals. 

 Here is the back view.

Happy Stamping

Soft Suede

 one of the new In Colors is a different shade of brown, with quite a bit of green undertones.  This card is very simple, with a gold embossed flower from Asian Artistry colored in with my blender pen and Old Olive and Rose Red and Regal Rose inks. A bit of Thoroughly Modern DSP and a bit of ribbon finished off with a Chit Chat rub on. 

Now go on, get stamping!

Bloomin Beautiful New Colors

Today I used a color that I always have trouble with, anything in the orange family.  To me it is fall, and that is my least favorite season. This year I bought the ink pad, reinkers, cardstock and ribbon in Dusty Durango as a way to guilt me into using it.  I must say I like Dusty Durango better than Tangerine Tango but no where near as much as Groovy Guava.  I guess Grooy Guava was more pinkish than orange and that is probably the reason. I like the results I got this time, not too fall like.

 The design is not mine but one of Andrea Walford's.  I used Dusty Durango and lightened it up with Crushed Curry DSP.

Recipe: Cardstock: Whisper White, Dusty Durango DSP: Crushed Curry Ink: Stazon Black, Dusty Durango, Summer Sun, Garden Green Accessories: Vintage brads-Antique Brass, Dusty Durango Grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals

Will be back later with the Deal of the Week

Trying out my new stuff

Part of the order I got in was the new In Color Designer papers and the Mover  & Shapers Punch Windows.  On SUDSOL Friday night, they had a challenge to make a card that would require no extra postage so that means things that make it heavier or bumpy in the envelope.  Here is my card

I used Kraft as the base and then Melon Mambo DSP.  All Stampin Up DSP is double sided and this is the front and back of the sheet I chose.  Thinking of You is from the Hostess Level 3 Kind & Caring Thoughts, stamped with Chocolate Chip ink onto Kraft and punched with the Oval Scallop punch and layered with Chocolate Chip scalloped oval from the Movers and Shapers. Added a bit of Melon Mambo ribbon to finish it off.

Hope you have a happy Saturday
