Jun 24, 2019 | Cards, In Colors |
I introduced the new In Colors on my Facebook Page in a live video on June 17th. My plans were to post them on my blog last week. It was one of the things I was going to work on when I went away for a crafting weekend in the mountains. Once I got up there I realized I didn’t take the photos. So no blog posts. I’m catching up this week. You can see all the cards in my live video – HERE.
So here is the first card I wanted to show you. It was an idea that one of the SU Artisan Design Team Members shared and I changed up the colors.
This card uses strips of card stock – Basic Black and then our five new In Colors – Rocco Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy. Try this with other colors too – or even strips of designer paper. So many possibilities with this idea.

Jun 14, 2019 | Cards, Graduation, Masculine |
Here is a quick and easy card idea that would work for a masculine card or for a graduation. Just choose the colors that you need or want. It’s also a perfect way to use up scraps of designer paper strips. Sometimes when cutting layers I end up with skinny little strips of paper or card stock left over. This is the perfect way to use those up.
This particular card used strips from the retired Classic Garage designer series paper. The colors are Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Tranquil Tide, and Basic Gray. You could replace the designer paper with strips of card stock or a different designer paper. The stripes ont he envelope where done with the Stampin’ Write Markers and a ruler. You could easily switch this out for school colors and add a happy graduation greeting.

Jun 12, 2019 | Cards, Designer Series Paper, Masculine |
I shared several masculine card ideas in a Facebook Live video last month. You can view them here on my Facebook Page – click here. Not all the products are available to order anymore but these ideas are easily adaptable to things you may already have.
So let’s take a look at them.
I used the Geared Up Garage Designer Series Paper for these but you could choose a different patterned paper with masculine colors and patterns or in some cases use solid colors of card stock. For this one I cut strips of paper and arranged them on a layer of card stock. I used the Happy Birthday die cut over the top of them all. There’s not even any stamping on this one. And for the inside just add a matching layer.
For this set I cut 3″ strips of the designer paper and added them to a layer of card stock. I stamped on a small rectangle of white a greeting. Tie some black cord around and use a knot instead of a bow for a more masculine feel.
This set again uses the designer paper and this time I cut out the cars from the paper. I stamped a greeting on a strip of whisper white card stock. It’s the piece that was left over from cutting the layer for the inside of the card. If you have the Geared Up Garage stamp set you could stamp and cut out the car with the die cut.
I think these ideas would also work to switch out the paper to the Come Sail Away paper. Maybe I’ll try that later.

Jun 4, 2019 | Cards, Catalogs, In Colors |
Today is the day! A brand new catalog starts and a brand new set of In-Colors will make their debut. This past weekend I had my New Catalog Kickoff Party and part of the fun is having snacks. And I love to theme my snacks to represent our new In-Colors. Now in past years that hasn’t been too hard as we typically have several of the colors with names that reference food – Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove to name a few. But this year who ever came up with the names must have been on a diet – or just not hungry because not a single one has anything to do with food! So what was I going to do about my party snacks. Well I had to get creative!
Are you ready to meet the new In-Colors Represented in snacks! First off here are the five new colors:
And now to show you how I incorporated them into my party. First we have Rococo Rose Fruit Dip.
Next we have Terracotta Tile Vege Pots – this one was a favorite of everyone at the party.
Next is Pretty Peacock Twists. These are a perfect match!
I had Seaside Spray Sugar Cookies – I found blue iced cookies and I also had some pink ones.
And finally there was the Purple Posy Punch along with Purple Posy cups and napkins.
For each of the five colors I made a little flower in a small vase. Here are the supplies I used for those.
Supply List
- #143713 Daisy Punch
- #149701 2019-2021 In Color card stock
- 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon in all 5 In Colors
- #149442 Perennial Essence Floral Centers
I hope you loved these fun In-Colors themed snacks. Maybe it will help everyone remember the names and what they are!
Ordering from the new catalog starts at noon MT on June 4, 2019. You can order in my online store. Contact me if you need a catalog.

May 29, 2019 | Cards, Designer Series Paper |
Here is one more quick card using the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. For this card I used one of the six panel pieces. This one looks like an oval frame. But instead of actually putting the frame on a card from I have used it to create a mask. You can see how I did this in my Facebook Live from May 13, 2019 – view FB live video HERE. I’ve been trying to stamp live every Monday on my Facebook page. If you missed any you can go back and watch the replays.
I used my sponge daubers to add ink – Pear Pizzazz for the ground and Balmy Blue for the sky. Then stamped in Black ink. It’s a simple one layer little note card.
