Loving the In Colors!

I must admit, when I got a sneak peek of the new 2014-2016 In Colors at the new annual catalogue premier I was less than thrilled. However, now that I have seen them in person and have had a chance to create with them, all I can say is YUMMM! Step aside Rich Razzleberry....Blackberry Bliss is in the house! Hello Honey is a warm yellow with a bit of a brown undertone, Lost Lagoon is a lovely blue, Tangelo Twist is an "in your face" kind of orange, and Mossy Meadow is well...just a nice, rich green!

Today's card showcases some of the new In Colors (Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist, and Hello Honey) as well DSP from the Moonlight DSP stack. The Endless Birthday Wishes Stamp Set was just released last month and is already sold out but Stampin' Up! heard our cries and it will be available again on June 17; if you haven't picked up Endless Birthday Wishes yet, you are definitely missing out! It has a wonderful combination of cursive and typed sentiments that is quickly becoming my "go to" set for birthday sentiments.

This photopolymer stamp set sold out very quickly after it's release last month and I anticipate it will sell out again. Once it is sold out a second time, I expect that will be it - you snooze, you lose! Please don't miss out on this fantastically versatile stamp set - I promise it will be the best $16.95 you ever spent! Contact me today to reserve your own Endless Birthday Wishes!

Happy Stampin'!

Cupcakes in a Box

Cards in a Box are a very popular style of card these days that fit in a regular sized envelope when folded flat. When I saw the "create something yummy" challenge over at SUO Challenges I knew exactly what I wanted to make - Cupcakes in a Box! I used some retiring products along with some new to create this yummy card - Modern Medley DSP and the Create a Cupcake stamp set are both retiring at the end of the month. I used the newly released photopolymer stamp set "Endless Birthday Wishes" for the sentiment, and I used a variety of colors from my favorite color family (Brights) for the cupcakes.

Supplies Used:

Paper: Modern Medley DSP, Brights DSP, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight

Ink: Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Punches: 1" square (to flag the ends of the Daffodil Delight), Cupcake Builder

Accessories: Melon Mambo 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon

The Create a Cupcake stamp set is already sold out in clear mount but IS still available in wood mount at the time of this post so head on over to my online store before it too is gone!

Thanks for stopping by....now go enjoy a cupcake!
