Stampin Up Pals Paper arts challenge #252

So, here is one of the new Incolors, well 2 if you count the candle color.  This is one of the new greens called Mint Macaron. The candle is Delightful Dijon, in the middle I have Soft Suede for the chocolate part of the cake.

The envelop is made using the new incolor set of envelop papers, they are lighter then our DSP and work great as envelops. But if you are so inclined, you can use it anywhere.

This card is my one of my 3 youngest grandsons. They were all born within one year, so one after another they turn the same age.  This is Michaels card, the 1st born of the 3.

The cake image on here will only be available until June 2nd.  It's a host set as well, so you will need at least a $150 order, but if you do that you will be able to get this plus some other stuff, you will have $25 to spend. But the new incolors, and the new envelop papers will not be available to be ordered until June 2nd. So, see? On June 2nd you can order from the current main catalog, the Occasions catalog and the new main catalog all at the same time. How great is that?!

I hope you enjoy, here is a photo of the card inside the envelop.

Oh, and BTW, the color really is Mint Macaron, it's not the Macaroon that is made with coconut, it's a french cookie and this is it's color.

Stampin Up Birthday card

My 20 something yr old grandson has a birthday coming up next week so this is it.  I did the base card in Marina Mist, then used the new Hardwood background stamp in Smoky Slate on Whisper White.

I used one of the Chalk Talk dies with a sentiment from Remembering your birthday, this one has a matching one for inside. I also used stamps from Gorgeous Grunge and Perfect Pennets to help grunge it up a bit

The paper for the inside of the envelop was a retired piece I had to use for things like this. I hoard my current DSP.

I used the Envelop liner framelits to cut it to size.

Having fun with shapes

I was in the mood the other day to do something different. I decided to make a shaped card.

I had recently gotten the Ovals framelits. I'm loving the new Smoky Gray so I used that as my base card.  I paired it with Melon Mambo.  When you cut your framelit, just leave an uncut area for opening the card.
I cut a smaller oval and ran it through the Fancy Fan embossing folder, then cut the big shape from the Apothecary Accents dies cutting off one end and stamp the sentiment from Remembering Your Birthday.

I added 3 rhinestones at the bottom and sponged some color onto a clay rose I had previously made up, and attached it up toward the top. 

I took a length of Seam binding and using my ink pad and a sponge, sponged on the Melon Mambo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Masculine Birthday Card

I needed a card for my 14yr old grandson's birthday. He has reached an age where I can no longer get by with a cutest card. So sad, my 3 youngest grandson's are all 14 now, no more babies.

So, I did a card using a combo of old and new product.

It took me awhile but at some point I fell in love with this wood grain embossing folder, it's so useful!
I sponged on some of the Crumb Cake ink just to dirty it up some. The Patterned paper is part of the Gingham Garden paper pack, the whole pack is just gorgeous, this piece is done in Pear Pizzazz one of the new colors.
