INSPIRE, CREATE, SHARE BLOG HOP-NEW CORE COLORS

 Happy Summer! And welcome back to our ICS Blog Hop! This month we are featuring all the beautiful new Core Colors! As you may or may not know,      Stampin' Up! does a color refresh every few years! Well this year we have some great new colors in our "regular" repertoire!!! So pretty! Check them out!

Here are my cards:

I really needed some basic birthday cards-ya know, the ones you can grab off the rack in a pinch.  These can be for any age, boy or girl, etc!  They are all basically the same just different core colors. 

The first is Lemon Lime Twist!

This one is landscape! The others are portrait orientation!

The second is Bubble Bath.

And the third is Azure Afternoon

Each has a little strip of color on the inside-just for a pop!

They were all made with the Alphabet A-La-Mode Dies, Artistically Inked stamp set, Blending Brushes, Stampin' Blends, Painted Texture Embossing Folder & Rhinestone Basic Jewels! The Blends were used to color the Jewels!

Overall very easy, basic cards, but I think they are so pretty & a super nice, bright presentation!!!!

PAPER PUMPKIN POP UP BLOG HOP-GROWN WITH KINDNESS

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop! We will be showcasing some amazing alternatives to the already amazing monthly Paper Pumpkin kits!!!

These kits on their own are absolute amazeballs!!! But here you will find some cool ideas on how to "change it up"! Some will be just with the kit materials, & some will have some added coordinating materials! The beauty of 

Stampin' Up!-everything coordinates!!!

So here's my alternative creation this month:

Now I must say that hands down this is my favorite Paper Pumpkin kits of late!!! The kits have become so full of fun! Every month they get better & better! I love the touch of "reality" with this month's kit!  Succulents are so big right now-although I can't keep one alive for the life of me! lol  But I certainly can keep this one alive!!!

Here's what the one in the kit should look like:

When I alter these kits I like to keep close to the materials that are included. I feel that if you want to "slightly" alter it you should be able to do with the materials that were intended for it. This one I added some Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the matte & I used my Stampin' Blends to color the cup image. Yes, that image is included in the stamp set!!! I really like it! This will be a good go-to for many different cards-with or without the kit!

I did a couple of other alternatives, but this kit is so pretty I didn't want to mess with it too much! But I know these amazing stampers on this hop will blow this out of the water with beautiful creativeness!!!
