I am very excited about the new In Colour cardstock that Stampin' Up released in the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalogue. The colours are: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo. It just screams summer. I wanted to use them right away and I did with this card that I made using the Sail Away stamp (item #123013 $11.95) that is found in the Summer Mini catalogue.
I used the Island Indigo colour as the cardbase and whisper white to stamp the image on. I also used the Island Indigo ink to stamp it. I decided to go with the nautical theme by using these star brads (retired unfortunately - sorry, I didn't know when I went to look for them in the catalogue)and the wonderful baker's twine (go and get this!) that is also featured not only in the Summer Mini but in the new catalogue as well (item #123125 $3.95 - also comes in White and White/Espresso colour).
I looked at the card and couldn't figure out where to put the sentiment. Then I decided to make have an interactive element to it. I stamped the sentiment and tucked it behind the White Whisper cardstock. You just have to pull it out by the brad attachment on the side. I kind of liked it even though it was a spur of the moment decision. Which at midnight, everything will be spur of the moment decision. But I'm happy with the end of result. What do YOU think?
On another note, one exciting thing that Stampin' Up is o
ffering the opportunity to become a demonstrator for only $119 and only during the month of July! This is how I started and it's a wonderful deal. The supplies you get and the support of the Stampin' Up family to either start your own business or to just pay for your addictive hobby! Seriously, it's a lot of product - valued at $205. I did and haven't looked back. Contact me if you have any questions or want to start on your way to earning extra cash.
