December Color Inspiration

 I hope you are reaching a point in the holiday dash that you can slow down a bit and enjoy the joy of the season. I always enjoy taking a little quiet time to write in cards or read a book while sitting and enjoying the twinkling lights of the tree. 


Don't forget to check out the Last Chance List and Sale before retiring items from the July-December Mini Catalogue are gone for good.

This month's Colour Inspiration is a bit nontraditional and whole lot of fun. I think you'll enjoy this fun combination for the holidays and into the New Year!


This month's Colour Inspiration trio of Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Gorgeous Grape are bold, bright, and beautiful for the holidays, New Year's, and so many more occasions.

All three colours are from the Brights Collection, and add a bright pop to Christmas trees from the Whimsical Trees stamp set and gifts from the Sweet Little Stockings bundle .

The first card features the Whimsical Trees stamp set, a sweet tag using the Tailor Made Tags Dies  and a perfect bit of sparkle from the White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

The second card features the Sweet Little Stockings bundle . The tag and presents are die-cut using the coordinating dies. For a fun twist, 1/2" and 1/4" strips of cardstock create a diagonal background pattern. White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon adds the final touch of sparkle.

Hello Stampers;


This month's Colour Inspiration features an extra-rich spin on the traditional red and green, plus a pop of pastel. I think you'll love the looks you can attain with these colours and the Sweet Stockings Suite and the Whimsical Trees Bundle.




COLOUR INSPIRATION

Evening Evergreen
Pool
Party
Cherry Cobbler


This month's Colour Inspiration features Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, and Pool Party. I think you'll love how the rich, traditional colours are brightened with a pop of lighter Pool Party. It's traditional with a twist!


The first card features the stamps, dies, and paper from the Sweet Stockings Suite ). The Sweet Stockings 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper  has lots of images that coordinate with die cuts. The sweet dog and stocking are from the paper. As an unexpected twist, the large and small tag dies are used to create a dog house and the scalloped stocking top die makes the roof for the doghouse. Texture is added to the dog house with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. A bit of sparkle is added with a tiny silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim.




The second card features the Whimsical Trees Bundle and the Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue. Sweet details are added with the Everyday Label Punch , Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon , Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack, and Subtle Shimmer Sequins .


TIP: This card can be created flat or add extra dimension with this sloped layers technique. Cut the two paper strips to 1" x 5-1/2" to leave space for overlapping. Adhere the far right strip to the card front with Stampin' SEAL. For the next strip and the 3" x 5-1/2" main panel add Stampin' SEAL to the left edge and Stampin' Dimensionals to the right edge. This creates a cool layered effect where one edge is higher than the other, kind of like shingles on a roof.
