ICS BLOG HOP-PERFECTLY PENCILED

Welcome to this month's Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! We are featuring our favorite DSP's (Designer Series Papers)! There are so many to choose from!  We have 12"x12" and 6"x6" sizes! They are actually ALL awesome! So deciding was rough! lol But I chose based on versatility this time! That's why I chose      Perfectly Penciled 12"x12"!

Here's my card:

So there are a couple of things I super love about this DSP. First, the front is a
patterned print where the back is a more geometric pattern. Super easy to use both sides-separately or together. Depending on which side you use it gives a different feeling or mood to the card. Second, it's all black/white! Coordinates with everything. And the bonus (which I did here) is it is so easy to color with Blends or Markers!!!! You can also use a blending brush for a lighter more overall color.

I love how the Alphabest and Best Label Punch work here to make a greeting or sentiment! The b/w DSP really makes the color pop!  It's a very simple card, but I think it came out quite cheery & colorful!

Other items used are Loose Flower Flourishes,                                             Open Weave Ribbon (Polished Pink), Stampin' Blends, & Wink of Stella!

ICS BLOG HOP-FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP

 This month on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we introduce you to the AMAZING new 2021-2023 In-Colors!!!! 5 beauties-Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen! Sound yummy don't they? Well let's get into it & see them in action!

Here's my card:

So many new items from our new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!!!                   First, the card is based in the Fresh Freesia! I love this softer purple! it goes well with almost all the other colors!                                                                       The base uses the '21-'23 In-Color 6x6 DSP Pack. Plenty in there to represent all the colors!! It is topped with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock cut with the new Basic Borders Dies! Love em!

Flowers of Friendship is the bundle I used! It had the amazing                   Flowers of Friendship cling stamp set and the Flowers & Leaves punch!      10% savings on the bundle-just sayin'! So the stems were stamped with one of the images, but the flowers were punched with the punch!

And what about those flowers! They were cut with the oh so beautiful                   In-Color Shimmer Vellum! This is one of my fave products in a long time!!! It is so much prettier in person! And so easy to work with!!!

The insides of the flowers are the Loose Flowers Flourishes with one of the highly coveted In-Color Jewels! And the ribbon is the beautiful                                 Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon. And best yet it comes in all the new        In-Colors!!! Nice & soft & easy to work with! Great for tying bows!!!

The Layering Circles Dies were used to finish the card off with the sentiment!

So I did manage to get all the colors in here! They go so nicely together, and really compliment the older In-Colors!!! You gotta give them a try!
