2013-2015 In-Colors Archives - Libby Fens, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

What a cute sentiment, right? Gee, thanks.

Love it. It’s new from the set, Really Good Greetings. And, they are, really great greetings! This is a must have new set I think. I’ve used it a few times.

I made this card to add to my stash of grab’n go cards and for two challenges. One is for Nacho Average Challenges, #51, for the cool banner-style layout. And the other one is for a ‘Bring on the Bling’ challenge over at The Paper Players.

I made my banners by cutting strips of card stock then slipping them through the Mosaic Punch partially. Made such a nice decorative edge. I also added whole shapes from the same punch. I went with the new In-Colors so I didn’t have to guess on a color scheme. I added the little ‘pluses’ from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.

To bring on the bling here, I added Basic Rhinestones to the small shapes. Before, the card was sort of boring. This was just enough added *pop* for the card.

What do you think? Leave me a comment. I love comments!

Open house fun, oh yah!

These are the Make’n Takes from my Open House this past weekend. Aren’t they just the most adorable cards you’ve seen?

I wanted to show off the new In-Colors and how they compared to other colors in Stampin’ Up’s color line. Each In-Color is paired up with three other colors. And, of course, you need to see how the new colors stamp, right? It was just a great way to show multiple products too.

I got my inspiration from here. But, I didn’t want to make full cards, so, I modified the design. A lot. I also had the guest make a little sleeve for the clear box to store the cards in. Makes for a quick gift, it is pictured first. I also went the extra step to use a different embossing folder on each card and envelope flap.

I used the following card stocks, Smokey Slate for the box band.

Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky, and Pool Party for the Mr. & Mrs. card.

Strawberry Slush, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette for the Happy Birthday card.

Pistachio Pudding, Pear Pizzaz, Wild Wasabi and Old Olive for the Cutest Baby Ever card.

Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Tangerine Tango, and Pumpkin Pie for the Best Friend card.

Baked Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso for the Just for You card.

Please let me know what you think. I love to read your comments!
