Imagine the New Colors and Blog Candy Winner

Stampin' Up releases five new trendy colors each year.   This years colors are Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Midnight Muse.  Fun names for fun colors!

I used the new Bitty Banners Framelits pack to die cut the In-colored flags and the Cupcake Builder punch for the clouds.  The sentiment is from the Word Play set and is stamped in Midnight Muse ink on a Marina Mist cardstock base.

Also today I have the winner of the blog candy from the UStamp Blog Hop.  I used random.org to generate choose.  The winner is.... Jeanne Nielson!!  Congratulations Jeanne... please email me with your address.

Introducing Floral District DSP

One of the new Designer Series Papers that will be available (June 1st!) in the new Stampin' Up catalog is the pretty Floral District paper.   My first project with it is a large card and matching wrapped Godiva chocolate bar.

When the papers have larger scale designs I like to make bigger cards to show them off.   This one fits in a business size envelope.  

The base is a 8 inch by 9 inch piece of Lucky Limeade cardstock, folded in half to make a 4" X  9" card.  The Floral District paper is cut at 3-1/2" X 8-1/2".  I added the Tangerine Tango ribbon before adhering it to the card base.

The covered chocolate bar has shapes cut with the new Apothecary Accents Framelits.

The Framelits work so well when cutting a shape with a design because you can see exactly where to place them for the best layouts.  That is how I was able to perfectly align the center image.  The image is from the Just Believe stamp set and was heat embossed with clear embossing powder before being cut with the Framelit.
