New In Colors & Better Together …

Posted in Christmas, New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy, Sympathy, Wedding, Welcome Baby / Congratulations by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I shared some sweet -n- simple cards that you can make with the new 2016-18 Stampin’ Up! In Colors and the Floral Affection Embossing Folder (set of 2), so today I thought I would “step it up” and create another set of cards using the other image in that set!

I also decided to feature the cardstock more on this card and use it for the base!

000_3443

Yesterday’s cards were all made without a greeting, so today I have incorporated the “Better Together” stamp set! 

I love this stamp set because it not only has your greeting but it has verses for the inside as well! On the card below I used the verse that would normally be on the inside and used it at my “greeting” …

000_3444

000_3442

Then, I took the greeting and stamped it on the inside of my card.  There are no rules in stamping so you can do it however you choose!

Now … have you noticed that I have been changing up the ribbon as well? I used it differently on each of the 5 cards!

000_3447

000_3446

Oh yes … all of these greetings come from the same stamp set (and includes the verse for the inside as well). The Sugarplum is the last of my cards … one in each of the new 5 In Colors and each with their own greeting!!

000_3448

I hope you enjoyed today’s showcase of cards and that it inspires you create. If you are looking for quick -n- easy cards to create that have a clean, pretty style, than today’s and yesterdays cards are for you.

I’d love to hear what “YOU” think about our new In Colors!  Just comment below 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have a simply wonderful day!

TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …

 

Simply Sunday: In Color Explosion …

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

It’s a new Stampin’ Up! year and I’m so excited with the just released 2016-18 In Color selection.

Each year Stampin’ Up! introduces 5 new In-Colors … these colors are what’s hot for the season and it helps keep our Stampin’ Up! colors fresh and fun.  If you walk into your favorite stores you will find these colors in the clothing, towels & bedding and home décor departments!

I’ve created some sweet and simple cards featuring the “Floral Affection” folder and the dots from the Enamel Shapes Brights Collection.

I know you’ll enjoy these cute cards all while getting to know the new In Colors …

000_3436

The Sweet Sugarplum is created with the Shimmery White card stock, all the other cards I used Whisper White card stock.

000_3435

000_3434

000_3433

000_3437

So … What do you think? Are you falling for them yet? I think this group of In Colors are going to be “Hot, Hot, Hot!” The Dapper Denim is a nice rich blue and the Emerald Envy … definitely a jewel tone – so pretty, and they look great together too!

000_3424

These card are quick and easy to recreate and you can add “any” greeting that you need.  Create a bunch of them (The white embossed size = 4-1/4″ x 2-3/4″ & your In Color Size = 4-1/2″ x 3″) then add your greeting as you need them!!

Thank you for spending part of your Sunday with me, much appreciated.

Have a wonderful day ~
