Scorching hot

 See that newspaper at the end of the driveway? It is so hot out that I am not even venturing that far, I don't need to know what is happening in the world. I am staying safely harbored in my air conditioned home, stamping. If the power goes out, I will go to the grocery store, where I will stay until it is safe to go home.

I was thrilled to be asked to make some samples for our demonstrator event OnStage back in April. Stampin' Up! sent me a big box of pre-release stuff but it was all a jumble of items, no bundles. I got these great Tropical Thinlets, but no matching stamps. I was just cutting all my green shades of card stock to come up with inspiration, and when I saw them all laid out on my desk, this seemed like an obvious design. I love a clean and simple card, so the white panel works, but the Lemon-lime Twist skinny frame keeps it bright and grounded.

 I still have a few Color Coaches, pictured at left. This handy tool lists every color in the Stampin' Up! collection and offers a couple color combos to inspire your card making. Also, I have swatch books, similar to this book but a full square of cardstock to help you make your own combos and differentiate the colors and learn all the new colors. Each square includes the cardstock name, family (bright, neutral, subtle or regal) and the Stampin' Up! order number.  These are $6 each or $10 for the pair.

There are still seats available for this Wednesday night, come on over and make this darling HOME home decor frame. Super easy and versatile. I think it would be a perfect housewarming gift, shower gift or dorm decor, if you can bear to part with it.

Just email me that you want to come over!

Happy Stampin,
