COLORING LACY!

Hello & welcome to the Coloring Down the Lines Blog Hop!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! And not too much stress on Black Friday! lol

Maybe you hopped over from Helen's blog. She's not feeling well this week so be sure to leave her a extra encouraging comment to cheer her up!

So this week's colors are:

Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, and Pear Pizzazz

      OR

Blushing Bride, Perfect Plum, and Sahara Sand
 

And our added Piece is:

      Add Lace

Now with all the Christmas crafting, it was hard to come up with something non-holiday for this card! I guess I could've gone holiday, but I figure this will probably be my last non-Christmas card for a bit! So the first combo seemed more "wintery" than the second, so that's what I went with!

Here's the card!

For the lace part I used the really cool Delicate Details Lace Tape. It come with 2 little spools of lacy tape in the package! All ya do is peel & stick! I really like them!

The stamp set used are my trusty old Mosaic Madness (with of course the Mosaic Punch & Mosaic Embossing Folder) and the Best of Greetings! I'm gonna miss those "best of" stamp sets! The ones I like I really love!!!

Throw in a framelit, some Pearl Basics & a little Irredescant Ice & ya got a cute card!

So I'm pretty sure I'll be on to Christmas next week! Gotta get to work on my Christmas cards! I'm all ready with my 12 Days of Christmas cards for ya tho! Be sure t watch for them!

So hop on over to Liz's blog & see what she did with her lacy touch! Lovely for sure!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!!

A COLORING DOWN THE LINES "SLUSHIE"!!

So this week we are beginning our blog hop with our new In-Colors!!! They are such nice tones! 

Our challenge this week is using Strawberry Slush with Rich Razzleberry & Sahara Sand OR with Coastal Cabana & Crisp Cantaloupe. 

I definitely chose the latter because I wanted to use all my new In-Colors!!!

So welcome back from Helen's "slushie" blog!!! I know her creation is super "juicy" and "cool"!! Ok, enough with the puns!!! I'm sure you loved her creation!! :)

So here's mine!!!

I pulled out my new Mosaic Madness tools!! The Mosaic Madness stamp set, Mosaic Punch & the Mosaic Embossing Folder!! I am really enjoying this combo!!! 

I love the way the "mosaics" look with the embossing folder! Especially when Stampin' Dimensionals are used to "puff" them up! Cool!!!

This is a tri-fold card, but a little different than the standard gatefold! See?

I have the design panel attached on the left side, but the right side needs to be "over" the left base side! Clear as mud?? I'd be happy to share if you'd like, but it makes a nice gatefold-style stay closed instead of kind of flopping open. Just as easy to make though!!!

Here's a close up of the panel!!!

You can see the dimension & texture with the folder & "mosaics". You can also see the Basic Pearl Jewels accents. 

Oh, btw, the little sentiment is from the Pennant Parade stamp set!

Overall, it's a fairly simple card, but I think it looks nice & showcases the new In-Colors well!

Now pop on over to Laura's blog & check out her La-Dee-Dah lovely creation!!!! I'll see you there!!

Watch over the next few days for some of our exciting new products!!! I can't wait for the man in brown to deliver my BIG box of goodies from the new catalog!!! Wait until you see!!! I sure can't!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!

NEW IN-COLORS!!!

So I'm part of a swap for new stamp sets from the new Catalog that is available for purchases May 31!  So excited!!!

Anyway, when using my new stamp set Mosaic Madness, I decided to give the new In-Colors a try!!! They are SOOOO pretty!! Very soft yet plenty of umph! What do you think??

The colors are called Pistachio Pudding (the green), Baked Brown Sugar (the brown), Crisp Canteloupe (the peachy orange), Coastal Cabana (the kind of turquise color) and Strawberry Slush (the redish/pinkish one)!  They are not quite pastel, yet not quite brights!!! Enigma colors!! lol

But the new Mosaic Madness stamp set has a nice Mosaic Punch and
 Mosaic Embossing Folder to compliment it! Lots of good fun!

So anyway, just thought I'd share the new In-Colors & a brandy new stamp set to help get you excite for the new catalog!!! Sooooo soon it'll be here!!

Happy Stampin'!!
