A grrrrreat birthday...
Just a quick post this afternoon. My 6 year old son was invited to a birthday party for a friend of his yesterday afternoon and of course I had to stamp a card to go along with the gift!
I wasn't feeling overly creative though, so rather than try to come up with something new, I just copied the layout of a card I'd stamped a number of months ago. I WAS feeling creative enough to coordinate the colors of the card with the wrapping paper though! ;)
I used our Under the Stars stamp set. I just adore the little critters! I thought the wood grain from our Woodland Walk Designer Series Paper worked perfectly with the set as well.
I hope he liked it! :)
Happy Stamping!!!

Another Color Coach Combo
I had a few spare moments this afternoon while my kids were happily spending time in the playroom, so I treated myself to a few minutes of stamping. One of the colors I knew I wanted to work with was Riding Hood Red. It's not one I normally go to (I prefer the richness of our Cherry Cobbler) so I flipped through our Color Coach to see what color suggestions I could work with. The first suggestion was:
I had all three colors, so I went with that.
I also wanted to ink up a new stamp I just received. It's our "Elizabeth" stamp and it's one of the few individual stamps we carry in our Idea Book & Catalogue. AND, until the end of March, you can actually receive it FREE with a $60 order! That's right! It's one of our Sale-a-Bration options!!!
Are you ready to see what I created?
Ta Da!!!
Isn't it cute? Not bad for a card that took less than 10 minutes!!!
The butterflies were cut out with my Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and my Big Shot. I also used my Big Shot and my Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder to add some additional texture to the background. I highlighted it a bit more by sponging on a little Early Espresso ink.
I finished it off with some Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon & a few of our Pearls. Let me know if you try this color combo!

ETA: An hour after I finished the card, I went back to look at it and it just didn't feel "finished" to me. I decided to add a strip of Baja Breeze cardstock punched with our Scallop Trim Border Punch (# 118402). I think it finishes it off perfectly.

WHY did I wait so long???
With the Color Renovation last year, one of the first things I noticed in the new Stampin' Up! catalogue was the new Color Coach. I had their original version and while I used it occasionally, when it retired, I wasn't sure if I really needed to buy the new one.
I talked to a couple friends/fellow demonstrators who had purchased the new one and they RAVED about how amazing it was. I finally decided to order it...and oh.my.gosh...WHY did I wait so long??? It is the best color tool E.V.E.R.! Unlike the older version, this one has a large "color chip" (2-3/4" x 4-1/2")for every single color that Stampin' Up! offers on a removable metal post fastener. On the color cards, one side shows the color (along with name and color family). Click the pics for a closer peek. :)
The other side lists coordinating colors and great color combinations that work well with that individual color.
This makes it SOOO easy to put a project together knowing the colors will all go well together!
For the following card, I just flipped through and choose four colors I liked and felt worked well together. It was SO easy to mix and match with my color coach instead of digging out stacks of cardstock! The colors I chose were Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise & Regal Rose.
There are even a few blank cards at the back so you can record your own favorite color combinations!
If you have any questions regarding our new color coach or would like to order one for yourself, let me know!
