Hugs & Kisses

Our daughter arrives this morning for a visit between semesters. We haven't seen her since early April, so everyone is excited at our house! I usually make a card to welcome her, and this visit is no exception.

I used a white background to showcase this Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series paper. I stamped some White Craft Flower Lines (Hostess Level 3-available July 1) onto new Rich Razzleberry cardstock and matted it next to another print white Whisper White. The second print from Razzleberry Lemonade is matted with the new Crushed Curry.

I had no little shiny things to match this paper, so I took my clear gel pen and went over two little dots I drew (Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Marker) on the Modern Label (available July 1st) punched sentiment. I also highlighted the row of flowers with the gel pen. This adds just a bit of Razzle and Dazzle!

These new "In Color" papers will be available on July 1st. It is so exciting having the new Idea Book and Catalog coning out. Lots of new products are going to be available to use in your creative endeavors.

Sweet Challenge

Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #10 is sweet! The colors are Melon, Cream, Berry, Dark Brown. Using Stampin' Up! Colors, I chose Cameo Coral (textured), Very Vanilla, Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip. The Designer Paper is Pink Flamingo. I used just the word Cheers from the Lots of Thoughts set of stamps and I inked it with my Ruby Red Stampin' Write Marker. It matches the paper or ink pad juts perfectly. The lovely Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is from Theater Ribbon Originals. It's very thick and rich just like a real chocolate chip! The copper brads from the "Vintage" set add just the right shine to finish this card.

Happy Hellos

I am having way too much fun! Today I used some of the new Designer Paper, "Razzleberry Lemonade" and the new In Colors Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry. I built a brad using one of the Circle Circus images and my own card candy was created by embossing another Circle Circus image and then coloring it in with In Color markers and then popping it up over the ribbon with dimensionals. When I emboss the image, it makes it easier to color in because your marker doesn't go outside the raised lines very easily at all! Makes me look like a pro! This is another of the preview stamp sets I was able to purchase because I am a demonstrator. I matched it up with a current Lots of Thoughts for my sentiment. So far I have loved using my new images and papers and colors. It's so fun to create with new merchandise.
