COLOR FUSERS BLOG HOP AUGUST 2016 - PART 2

Happy Monday my Crafty Friends!!!! Can you believe we are half way done with August??  I can't wait for Summer to be over....it is not my favorite since we don't have air conditioning.  Plus we are coming up on my favorite time of year!!!!!  I love Fall/Winter here because it is the perfect weather. Anyhow, welcome back to the Color Fuser Blog Hop.  This is part 2 of our monthly Color Fuser Blog Hop where 7 of my amazing and talented Stampin Up Demonstrator friends showcase their wonderful projects fusing together 3 fun Stampin Up colors.  Below is this months color fuse. 

For this project I decided on two stamp sets.  The Touches of Textures offers wonderful found background images that you can just do by themselves or combine them with the flower images in this amazing set.  I love that you get 15 stamps out of this set.  It allows for great versatility. The other set I used is from the Grateful Bunch set.  Again I love this set for lifting ones sprits, thanking them or telling them you are loved.  

Thank you for stopping by today's Blog Hop, be sure to stop by the other bloggers to see their amazing creations.  Also, next month I will be featuring some projects from our amazing Holiday Catalog.  Be sure to stop by !!!!

COLOR FUSERS BLOG HOP- AUGUST 2016 PART 1

Happy August my Stamping Friends!!!! I seriously can't believe it is already August!!!! Welcome back to the Color Fuser Blog Hop.  This is part 1 of our monthly Color Fuser Blog Hop where 7 of my amazing and talented Stampin Up Demonstrator friends showcase their wonderful projects fusing together 3 fun Stampin Up colors.  Below is this months color fuse. 

For this project I decided I am going to play with the adorable Baby Bear Stamp Set. I am not going to lie, when I opened the new catalog for the first time, I just happened to open up to the page that he was on.  I was super excited to get him as I thought he would be perfect for baby cards, maybe Christmas and Valentine's Day??  But like many of the demonstrators, there are so many amazing sets in this catalog and although I got him right away, he got lost in the shuffle. So I am finally showcasing this cute little guy.  I will be showcasing him in other color combos so stay tuned for another blog posting with him as he is a multi stamp layering stamp set.  He has 3 layers if you choose to use it, but for the purpose of this particular color challenge I decided to keep it simple and do a single layering so his color will come through. For background piece I decided to use the Lucky Stars embossing folder along with the "love" wording from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.

COLOR FUSERS BLOG HOP- JULY 2016 PART 2

Happy Monday my Stamping Friends!!!!  Welcome back to my July Color Fuser Blog Hop.  This is the 2nd part of our monthly Color Fuser Blog Hop where 7 of my amazing and talented Stampin Up Demonstrator friends showcase their wonderful projects fusing together 3 fun Stampin Up colors.  See below this month's color fuse combos of some of our newer colors that just came out in June.

I decided this time to play with one of my favorite framelit sets the Botanical Builder .  I paired it with "A Big Thanks" wording from the Perfectly Wrapped Set.  I love this set as it has nice big words that can be used for multiple uses.  I finished off the card with the butterfly stamp from another fun set called Grateful Bunch.  This is one of my favorite butterflies out of the catalog, small enough to fill in some bare space on your card to give it just that final touch. Just a very simple 1 layer card....sometimes you just have to go simple. Hope you enjoy the project. 

Please remember to stop my other amazing Stampin Up Friends' blogs and enjoy their amazing projects!!!!

Color Fusers Blog Hop 7/16 Part 1/2

Hey Stampers and Crafters:
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!  Welcome to my first Color Fuser Blog Hop.  Below we are going to be using the following color combos on this specific challenge:

I absolutely LOVE these colors for the summer.  They remind me of sorbet or sherbert.   The stamp set I used to make my card  is Fresh Fruit from our new 2016-2017 Stampin Up Annual Catalog. This is one of  my new favorite summer stamp sets.  This stamp set makes a great background paper like I did in the card below.

This was a very basic and simple card.  Sometimes you just have to go with clean and simple. :)

Measurements:

• Base 8 1/2 x 11 Flirty Flamingo Cardstock - Cut at 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4
• Layer 1: Whisper White Cardstock:  Cut at 4 x 5 1/4
• Banner: Layer 1 Cucmber Crush cut  at 1"x 3 1/4  Layer 2 Whisper White 3/4  x 2 3/4

PRODUCT FOCUS 2014-2016 IN COLORS

PROJECT 1
Hello Friends:
Welcome to my first blog hop.  Please forgive me while I am still totally learning, but I thought I would just dive in and give it a try.  This week my Stampin Up Friends will be posting some amazing projects they have created from these amazing retiring colors.  Why are they retiring???  Well, every year Stampin Up comes up with an amazing set or fun colors called IN COLORS that stay around for 2 years and they rotate out every couple of years.  These colors are the 2014-2016 colors.  But if you would like these colors they will be available until May 31st so come and snag them before they run out.  Click the link below to see the colors and be sure to continue on to read about the project I have posted and the other amazing projects from my friends.


2014-2016 Retired In Colors


I guess I was in a retiring mood, as the project I chose for my first project comes from the retiring stamp set Flowering Flourishes and the punch for the flower comes from retiring Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  Now the little Pearls I used for the center is still available and and perfect for any project!!!!

I hope you have enjoyed my project for today and please be sure to stop by the other talented demonstrators listed below to see their projects.  If there is anything I can help you with on your projects please feel free to let me know and be sure to come back Wednesday for another project.
