Together

Last Friday night I had a bunch of ladies over to stamp. We all made this card. It is sooo cute with its little awning and window. The stamp sets are "Bouquet Bunch" and "In a Word" from the Summer Mini. You really missed out if you didn't get to make it - this card was a lot of fun to make and we experimented with SU's new clear stamps. The colors used for the card are Garden Green (now in the Regal Collection) and Regal Rose (part of the Brights Collection). What really sets it off is the 3D effect of the awning and window ledge!

Thanks to all who came and for those of you who didn't make it, we'll do it again in July when the new 2010-2011 SU Idea Book & Catalog comes out!

What to do with "Night of Navy" Part II

After discussing my lack of confidence in using Night of Navy in my last post, my daughter-in-law Ashlan posted a note suggesting I try Night of Navy with a bright green color. Ashlan is a color-combo extraordinaire. She has a real talent for selecting colors (and fabric) that go great together! She's a natural. So I redid the card with Night of Navy and Old Olive. Believe it or not, Old Olive is now part of the "Brights Collection" in the 2010-2011 SU Idea Book and Catalog. I love these colors together and plan to use them a lot more. Ashlan - keep the color combos coming!! Thanks!

You may pre-order the new 2010-2011 SU Idea Book and Catalog now or book a party and receive it for free! The new catalog starts July 1, 2010!!

What to do with "Night of Navy"

Some SU color families are easier to for me to use than others. Rich Regals has always been a challenge. The cards above are made using Night of Navy and the new flower punch along with Patterns Designer Series paper in Night of Navy. Very simple with no challenging color combination.

I'm really looking forward to the new "Regals Color Collection" and also the new color coach available in the 2010-2011 SU Idea Book and Catalog. I'll be ordering the new catalogs soon - first day to place an order is July 1, 2010!!
