Color Blocking – First Sight
Good morning! Today I have a card to share that has been in my head since I first saw the Occasion Catalog back in November. I waited to order this stamp set though to see what other people might create, and to be honest I haven’t see it featured as much as I imagined it would. I thought I would change that!
I set out to create a ‘color blocking’ type of card featuring this fabulous Baker’s Twine Combo Pack and the First Sight Stamp Set. This stamp set features so many pretty sentiments and some gorgeous fonts, but the swirly leaves is what caught my eye. I love how detailed this entire set it, it’s so soft and lovely. Plus I simply love all of the Thick Baker’s Twine Stampin’ Up! has come out with, but seeing this pack featuring two colors made me swoon! The contrast that the black creates with both the Mint Macaron and the Melon Mambo is simply fabulous and I do help this is just the tip of the iceberg in what’s to come!
Now, I have been mulling over how to proceed with this card. So, what would you do? Leave this card as is? Add a sentiment or focal image? Thoughts you might have? Let me know! I would love to hear your feedback!

Honeycomb Happiness – Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge!
Today I have a fun new card to share with you for the current Pals Paper Arts Challenge #289 – with a powerful duo of Honeycomb Happiness. This week’s challenge is a fun Color Challenge with our host Lynn Hoyt! Each week the Pals Paper Arts Design Teams create fabulous samples and invites their readers to join in, be sure to come and join us using this fun color challenge:
For this challenge I honestly wasn’t sure where to begin so to simplify things and hopefully inspire me I pulled out a sheet of cardstock in each color selected in today’s challenge. Then it dawned on me that I had just cut into a sheet of the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack in Blushing Bride that could work for this challenge. I actually made all the layers of this card in Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy, and Blushing Bride before I settled on which stamp set I wanted to highlight. This really isn’t my typical starting point as I usually get inspired by a product or stamp set first and then get going on my creating. Once I realized that the Honeycomb Embellishments come in Blushing Bride the rest of the card came together quickly. This little balloon and these Honeycomb Embellishments got perfectly together, in face the entire Honeycomb Happiness Stamp Set is a sure fire winner in my book – plus earning it for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration Gift is a BIG plus too!
