Color Combo Challenge

Hello Stamping Friends,

I hope you had a joyous and wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. I was blessed to spend two full days with my husband, children, their significant others, and my grandson. The gifts were thoughtful and well appreciated by all, but the true blessing was being present in the moment with each of them.

Today is a sharing day with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are sharing cards made with a color theme of highland heather, balmy blue, and pacific point. Great colors for a winter card.

Balmy Blue

Highland Heather

Pacific Point

I decided to use the party puffins to make a birthday card with this combo. I think it would be a good card for either male or female because of the color combo. And definitely great for a kid's birthday.

Isn't it cute. The two bottom puffins were stamped on scrap paper, cut out, and attached with dimensionals to add some depth to the card. You can stamp them on the paper and then just stamp the top part of the puffin with the party hat on scrap paper, cut out just the hat and then attach that to the card if you want to make it a tad easier. If I were making a bunch of these cards, that's exactly what I would do.

I used the Stampin' Write markers to make some doodle borders around two of the three white pieces to finish the card off. Otherwise, it looks like it's missing something.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more inspiration using this color combination.

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's another great blog hop with the Stampers Dozen group. This month's theme is Winter Wishes. Although the calendar may say winter doesn't begin until next week, here in NEPA we have had snow already and the temps are a bit chilly. Probably the only thing I like about winter is the cute snowmen you will find to decorate with. I'm not a cold-loving person at all.

So, of course, I used a snowman on my Winter Wishes card. Isn't he the cutest little snowman ever? He just so happy juggling his snowflakes and snowballs.

Years ago I saw (and had to buy) wrapping paper with snowflakes in light blue, green, and purple. It was such a great inspiration for me for stamping projects that I obviously still use it today. Every time I make cards in this color with snowmen or snowflakes I hear compliments, so why switch it?

This is the same materials used vertically instead of horizontally. Not even a piece of cardstock cut bigger or smaller. I love when you can use the same materials and switch the card up a little.
