Happy Thoughts

Today's inspiration came from one of my favorite blogs, Crafty Girl Designs, by Tessa Wise. She one of the newest Artisan Award Winners for Stampin' Up and is very talented! I used one of the new hostess stamp sets from the 2010 - 2011 IBC - Apple Blossoms, as well as some of the new colors that became available July 1st: Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Confetti White, Pear Pizzazz, Textured Perfect Plum

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Early Espresso, So Saffron, Marina Mist

Stamp Set: Apple Blossoms

Accessories: snail adhesive, hemp twine, paper piercing tool, stamp-a-ma-jig

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful 4th of July tomorrow!

New Color Samples!

Cherry Cobbler with Crumb Cake

Marina Mist with Tangerine Tango

Daffodil Delight with Baja Breeze

Cajun Craze with Wild Wasabi

Happy Monday everyone! I decided to create sample cards featuring the five new vibrant core colors that will be available July 1st with the release of the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book and Catalog. I have paired them each with a returning In Color, except for the Cherry Cobbler. I paired that sample card with Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft). My inspiration for these cards was found on the Stampin' Pretty blog, created by Mary Fish. You have to check out her projects - she is amazing!

Look for a Mother's Day card later this week. Thanks for stopping by today!
