A Classic Design Using Posted for You
The Posted for You Bundle is another one of my Annual Catalog favorites. For some reason I have always been drawn to postal images and shapes. Maybe they’re just fun to create with… I don’t know.
This card, however, is not screaming creativity! Instead its a classic design: three in a row. This one is always a good layout for smaller images. And you can mix it up with staggered images or diagonal images. It doesn’t have to be three items in a single row. (see my butterfly card) Although, my card is not just three images in a single row, but the same image repeated three times! Not exactly groundbreaking but I think its a really nice card that any one could make or copy.

The 2019 In Colors: Rococo Rose
The new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has been out about a month now and I want to start showcasing the new 2019 In Colors. Today’s card features Rococo Rose. Its a soft, subtle, dusty color of pink. I think it has a nice vintage appeal. I’m not a pink girl but its growing on me!
For my card, I started with a Gray Granite card base and a Rococo Rose sheet of designer series paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6 x 6 pack. I choose the script pattern for a soft, feminine background.
For my stamping, I selected the Inspiring Iris stamp set. (more…)

How do you like the new 2017 In Colors?
How do you like the new 2017 In Colors? I think they’re wonderful! Here are the colors if you haven’t seen them.
These 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbons are so nice to work with, and aren’t the In Color Bitty Bows cute? The colors are (from the top): Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide. They work really well together, and while I haven’t played too much, they seem to work well with other colors, too.
So far, Lemon Lime Twist is my favorite. (I love it with Bermuda Bay.) But Berry Burst is a quick second. I’m not a pink girl, but I think it has a more purple cast to it. And it’s great with Lemon Lime Twist.
Here’s a card I made with the new stamp set, Crafting Forever, and all five of the new 2017 In Colors. The designer series paper is called Fresh Florals. If it looks familiar, it’s four designs from last year’s Floral Boutique paper (the navy and white DSP). It gives you a nice variety of floral and patterns in all the new colors.
