In Color 2012-2014

This card uses all 5 new In Colors.  The flower was made using the Floral Fusion sizzlet.  I used Primrose petals cardstock and crumpled it, sprayed with some shimmer spray and then stuck it all together.  I made the shimmer spray from the champagne shimmer paint and some alcohol, mixed it up in the new stampin' spritzer and voila!  It adds just a little shimmer.  It also makes it a lot easier to make that cute crumpled look.   I wish the picture was a little brighter.....I gotta start honing my photographing skills...

Simple and Frugal

Just a few small bits of DSP make a big statement on this card.  I love the patterns on this Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP from the Holiday Catalog.  I CASED this card from a card my friend Jenny made.  I just changed the dsp and sentiment.  This would also make a quick and easy Christmas card to make in a large quantity, if you needed a bunch.  It wouldn't use too much paper either so it would be very economical.

Masculine Congratulations

I made this card for a little Stampin' day we had a while back with a group of demonstrators.  We all brought card ideas and the tools to make them and then we got to make each others cards.  It was really fun and I got a ton of card ideas.  On this card I used the Comfort Cafe DSP and the Apothecary Accents framelits.  The ink is  Midnight Muse and the Denim ribbon coordinates with it perfectly, I think.  I think this card would work as a masculine card, and you could use any sentiment too!

Cheers!

Cocktails anyone??  This stamp set was one that I got in my first order from the new catalog!  It was a must have.  It's pretty versatile too, with holiday stamps as well as birthday and any occasion-type stamps.   This is one of my new favorite colors from Stampin Up too!  Raspberry Ripple!  It's so rich and beautiful.  What's your favorite Stampin Up color?
