Same Card, Different Colors

Hi everyone, I hope your day is going well.

Today I want to share a re-make of this card HERE.  The original card I made I used the traditional baby colors on it, so I told my daughter I wanted to make another card using the colors that were on the shower invitation, which I translated to Stampin' Up! colors, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate and Pink Pirouette (I bet Blushing Bride would look good too) on Whisper White.  Now I don't have Calypso Coral ribbon, so I used the new Strawberry Slush 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim behind the Pink Pirouette card stock strip.  You know what, after I was done making the card and using this color combo, I have to say that I really like it!  Of course, the card is much cuter in real life.

So as you can see, sometimes it is good to get out of our comfort zone and think outside of the box, give it a try, you just might be surprised at the results too, like I was!   Mary

Good Friday to all of you!  It has been a very nice, slow, relaxing week for me, just what I needed too!

Today I want to share a card with you that I'm mailing to my friend who just became a first time grandmother on Wednesday, Hi Patti!!  I know she is over the moon about her new little granddaughter !  I've seen a few pictures of her on Facebook and she sure is a cutie too!    I found this card over on Pinterest.  Now mine is not exactly the same, because, well, I didn't have the same sentiment stamp set or the same ribbon either.  I did use what I had, the same card stock and the Mosaic Madness stamp set and punch.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Pleated Satin ribbon from awhile ago, now retired, but by putting half of it under the Blushing Bride card stock, it almost looks like the new ribbon in the catalog!  Oh lucky me, I held onto my Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz card stock, ink pads and re-inkers when they retired awhile back, but are now back in the new catalog, saved some money, yea!  But the green on this card is the new Pistachio Pudding, the blue is the new Soft Sky, I think they go together very well! I also used the 7/8" scallop punch, I'm always amazed had how well Stampin' Up! does this with their stamps in using the many different items they offer so that you use them many times over!  I also you the flower from the Itty Bitty Punch pack and added some rhinestones too.  Stampin' Dimensionals were used to pop up the sentiment and the mosaic pieces as well.  Click on the picture to get a closer look.

You can see the original card HERE.

I hope you all have a safe, enjoyable week-end, thanks for stopping by too!   Mary
