CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Fave New In Color

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is our Favorite New In Color. Surprisingly, I've become infatuated with Pale Papaya - at least for this week, LOL!

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend in Florida, and wanted to use the Pansy Petals DSP because of that lovely Pale Papaya gingham. I didn't even need to stamp the pansies - they are on one of the patterns in the pack and fit the coordinating Pansy Dies! The only stamping was the Happy Birthday on front and the sentiment inside.

Did you notice the brushed gold metallic specialty paper behind the pansies? It has a beautiful texture, similar to the now-retired Subtle 3D embossing folder. The gold really sets off the Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral pansies.

I added some Pale Papaya and White 1/2" Ribbon backed with some Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim to make the card extra feminine. The pansy centers were topped with matching rhinestones from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump over to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner has made!

Color & Contour Sneak Peek!

So.... have you heard the new Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 annual catalog is coming soon? If not, do you live under a rock?

  

Because almost everyone I know in the stamping world is talking about it and, if they were lucky enough to do a demo preorder, sharing samples made with the fabulous goodies! And that's what I plan to do right now.

First of all, may I just say how much I LOVE all the new In Colors this year?! I've made up little samplers to go out with the new catalogs so everyone can see for themselves how lovely the colors are. (BTW, if you aren't already a demo and don't have a demo you usually order from, and would like a catalog, contact me.)

You know how I love layers, and you know I also love dies, so the Color & Contour bundle was made just for me by Stampin' Up! (Not really, but they sure do seem to "get" me!)

Look at those lovely dies - they have pierced, dotted, stitched, and embossed ones! So naturally I had to pair them with two new In Colors, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, along with a pop of Bumblebee (from the Pansy Petals DSP).

And look at that adorable little bee embellishment! Isn't it the bee's knees? So I guess there are five sneak peek here: Two new In Colors, the Pansy Petals DSP, the bee embellishment, the Scalloped Contours Dies, and the Color & Contour stamp set.

Check back tomorrow for another card using this bundle on the Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!
