My Favourite Stampin' Up! Colour Combination

Ever since the introduction of the new 2015-2017 In Colours by Stampin' Up!, I have a new favourite colour combination! It's Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder along with Whisper White.

Watermelon Wonder               Tip Top Taupe             Whisper White

When I had to make some more Thank You Cards for customers, I didn't even think about it, I just got out these colours right away.  I think I like it because it has an almost Asian flavour to it, but Watermelon Wonder is just such a warm colour, it would add that warmth to any colours you used.

These little 3" x 3" cards almost made themselves, it was so quick and easy, but I really like how they turned out. With the Awesomely Artistic dragonfly, and the One Big Meaning sentiment, it created a quick and cute mini-thank you card that would be great for any occasion where you have a lot of Thank You cards to make at once.

• I love the dragonfly stamped in Watermelon Wonder. I know dragonflies are usually blue and green, but I think they should be this colour, don't you? I did stamp them off once to make the colour less intense so you could see the sentiment stamped over it. This image is from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.
• If you want a great Thank You set of sentiments, I highly recommend One Big Meaning. It says thanks in 7 different ways and each with a different amazing font! I use it all the time!
• The script design behind is from the 2015 - 17 In Colour Designer Series Paper Stack, which gives you 40 sheets: 4 sheets in each of 2 designs in all five colours. It's a great deal. I used the 2 1/2" Circle punch to get the circles of the background paper and the 2" Circle punch for the the image and sentiment.

By the way, I've updated my Retired Products Inventories with items from last year's Holiday Catalogue.  Check them out here.

Enjoy your Monday and I'll be back tomorrow with a little something from the Reason for The Season Bundle!

Six-Sided Sampler Thank You Trios

I have so much fun with the little Thank You cards I send out with all my customers' orders!  They are a
great way to sample the new products and colours and DSP! It's just fun playing with the new stuff!  And have I got NEW STUFF?!  It was seriously like Christmas around here on Friday, when my first order of new products arrived from Stampin' Up - for me and for my customers after my catalogue launch last Saturday!  I was pleasantly surprised with the speed with which the orders were filled and shipped.  I was expecting it to take a little longer, but it was here sooner than expected!  Kudos to Stampin' Up!!






Anyway, I set right to work sorting and bagging orders and making the Thank You cards to go in them.  It wasn't long before my hubby heard squealing and calls for him to "Come, look!"
Here, you'll have to see why for yourself!

• I used all the new In Colours:  Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Strawberry Slush.  They look as delicious as they sound!  
• I also added one of the new Brights into the mix, Bermuda Bay!  
• I just received my In Colour Paper Stacks and I absolutely love the new designs for each colour.  I picked the polka dots this time, but there are three other up-dated designs to choose from.

• Then I grabbed all my In Colour inks and the Six-Sided Sampler bundle which includes all these great stamps AND a hexagon punch, saving 15%,  and stamped all these wonderfully designed hexagons!   (If you weren't already aware - hexagons are very hot right now!)
• Then I punched them out using the long-awaited hexagon punch. (By the way, the hexagons it punches are bigger than the embossed hexagons created by the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.) 

• After arranging them, I added a little strip of the new 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, which comes in all the new In Colours!  I am over the moon about this ribbon!  It is SO cute! and, because it is stretchy, I believe that we will be able to frame Ovals and Circles as well as other shapes.  Just look at the cuteness it created on these little cards! I purposely did not have the ribbon fit neatly around the upper panel, because I was looking for a Quick and Cute Effect, smashbook style!
• The new Designer Buttons are adorable, big or small, and add the perfect little touch to the cards!

Book a Girls Night Out!!
