• Hi Stampers,

    Are you ready for this week's ColorLab color Experiment?

    We're celebrating the New In Colors with several weeks of New Color-palooza!!!

    ColorChallenge48

    Over the next five weeks we'll be celebrating the New In Colors by featuring each of the colors in a Color Combo Challenge! We know these colors are new and still making their way into some of your hands so we'll keep each challenge open for 2 weeks to give you time to play with the new colors!

    Our Design Team Chemist have already conducted a few experiments to help inspire you. Check out their results and then get started on your own creations!

    Post your creation online and link directly to the project using Inlinkz.

    • Share your opinion of this color combo – visit the ColorLab, enter in the colors and you can search for the combo. Once you find the combo you can rate it!
    • We LOVE to use our Stampin’ Up! Products, but we welcome you to use any brand of product you wan to create your projects. If you're having trouble figuring out what colors will work for this challenge check out the ColorMatcher Lab – it will cross match colors between some of the most popular color lines out there!
    • Have fun being inspired and creating

  • Hi Stampers,

    Today I'm sharing another project from the July subscription of Craft Project Central. The scrapbook on a Spool project, created by Kris, is SO cute!! It would be a fabulous gift to make up for a sewing friend!

    The Trinket Crown and pin attached to the bow is my favorite part of the project!

  • New In Colors are avaliable for your My Digital studio software. You can update your My Digital Studio color palette by downloading the latest 1.0.7 update to the software. Go to “Check for Updates” in the Help menu of your My Digital Studio software. Once installed, the color palette in your software will be updated with this year’s In Colors: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, and Wisteria Wonder.

  • Hi Stampers,

    Card Sketch 1-001 There is a new Monthly Sketch Challenge over at Craft Project Central – and I was honored when Jacque asked me if I would help her cordinate the challenges!!

    Each month CPC will host a Creating Pretty Cards Challenge. This month I created a simple sketch for the challenge. I think this layout is great for light and bright summer cards!

    Click here to view all the details for this Challenge.

    I can't wait to see what you create each month!

    This month for the inspiration card I had to use some of the new items in the Idea Book.

    IMG_4008a

    I choose the Cherish Friendship stamp set (See It Online). I LOVE the way the Pool Party card stock looks against the Cherry Cobbler of the Cherries. I colored the image using Watercolor Crayons to soften the look just a bit and of course finished it off with a little scrunched Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon.

    Have you seen all the fun new stuff avaliable from SU yet?? If you haven't check it out now on my SU website.

     

  • Hi Stampers!

    Card Sketch 1-001
