Shades of green

Its no secret that I love to use green in my scrapbooking and cardmaking. All you have to do is look at my cardstock collection and notice that the green area is huge! I'm thrilled that Stampin' Up! has so many great colors of green and they work so well together. I used a www.colorq.blogspot.com challenge to jumpstart this card. I highly recommend them because sometimes putting colors together is the hardest part of a card or layout, plus they use Stampin' Up! colors both old and new.

In other news the holiday mini has gone live and is full of fabulous new products including our own scoring board called Simply Scored and its amazing! You all know how much I love a good tool and this one is a must have! The first class for the Stamp Club is Sept. 23 at 6:30pm please come prepared with 2-3 photos that will work well with calypso coral, basic grey, pool party and daffadil delight. If you can't find photos like this just convert them to black and white :) So excited for our first class of the year!

Punch Love

Hello and Happy Labour Day! I wanted to show a card that utilized some of the great punches from Stampin' Up! I had purchased the mini punch set last year and when I got them they were a little intimidating. They were small! How could use them on a card so that they wouldn't be lost on the front? Well after some flipping through the catelogue I came across a card similar to this. I used a different color scheme but essentially its the same card. The colors that I used were tangerine tango, melon mambo, pool party and black/white. I also used the itty bits stamp set that coordinates with the punch set.
