Stampin Creative Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to another Stampin Creative Blog Hop. Can you believe it has been a month since the last one? 


You will have joined me from the lovely  KIM who has provided us with more lovely inspiration using the retiring In Colours 2013-2015.

I made some gifts for a recent retreat and used the In Colours for each guest so although they all had the same they looked a little different.

Here is one of the gift sets in Coastal Cabana.
I stamped the butterflies on the card in 1st and 2nd generation of Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar to give varying tones. 
The fry box and tag were both stamped tone on tone and a decorative butterfly added to bring the set together.



Here is the same set in Strawberry Slush. I think it looks completely different don't you? Each set had their own personality which the ladies loved. 


Finally I CASED this lovely card from a friend of mine and very talented Demo in Ireland, Lillian. 
I used the bunny from Baby you've grown.
The inks used to brayer the card included Pistachio Pudding and Coastal 
Cabana alond with Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz. The mat layer was Baked Brown Sugar layered onto a Pistachio Pudding Screen card.
I stamped the tree in Baked Brown Sugar and Strawberry Slush which I think gives a very summery feel to the card - shhhhhh don't tell the Nutty one but this is his anniversary card for next week when we celebrate 8yrs of  meeting!


I hope you like my creations with the retiring 2013-2015 In Colours and I hope you have plenty to stroke in your cupboard as for the first year ever I am going to miss each and every one of them.

Now over to MIKAELA to se the beautiful things she has for us today xx

  10. I surprise myself when I say that the Strawberry Slush version is my favourite, as I'm not a pink girl, but Its very bold. Love your Anniversary card, very clever. I really must have a go at one of these one day. Happy Anniversary Emily and Nutty xx
