Colour Coach - More Mustard

I love this combination of colours.  I am lacking in the manly stamps department (though I did just order 2 new sets that should help fill that hole), so when I need a masculine card, I turn to these colours to help me out.  I am really getting my money's worth out of this little stamp set too.  It's quite versatile, and of course, manly.  I'm actually a little sad that it didn't carry over into the new IB&C.  I refuse to give it up however, since I seem to find a lot of uses for it.

Stamps:  Plane and Simple
Ink:  Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze
Paper:  More Mustard, Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, First Edition DSP

Colour Coach - Pear Pizazz

 

To the Colour Coach again!  I think this is combination 3 out of about 90 possibles so far (on the CC - which I am going to try and get through).

This is actually one of the colour combinations for Pear Pizazz, though I used it more as a supporting colour than the main one (Garden Green).  I like the two colours together and was trying to think of what I could add in there and I thought of my good friend, Elements of Style.  The little hummingbird was perfect to stamp in Rich Razzelberry over the flourish to make it really stand out.  So far, the Colour Coach is batting 1000.

Stamps:  Elements of Style

Paper:  Garden Green, Pear Pizazz, Whisper White

Ink:  Garden Gree, Pear Pizazz, Rich Razzlberry

Extras:  Whisper White ribbon, Modern label punch, Scallop trim edge, Scallop trim corner

Colour Coach - Concord Crush

 

Let it be said - I hate orange.  However, I am trying to incorporate it into more of my cards since I know that many people love it.  Flipping through my Colour Coach this morning to find a compromise, I came across the Concord Crush card. That's it!  I feel like Tangerine Tango is more of a minor actor in this card rather than supporting actress, played by Daffodil Delight.  The colour scheme is cherry and playful, and matches the weather outside.  Maybe spring is really on its way?

Stamps:  Elements of Style, Sweet Summer

Paper:  Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

Ink:  Versamark, Perfect Plum

Extras:  Clear Embossing powder, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

With just over a week left in SAB, I wanted to remind everyone what a great promotion it is.  For every $60 order you will receive a free stamp set of your choice from the SAB catalogue.  Both of these cards are made with stamp sets you can get for free during SAB.

If you've ever considered joining Stampin' Up, this is the time to do it.  And if you just want to get the great deal on the starter kit and the discount of products without doing anything else, even better.  During SAB, you get the kit for $182 (all in, including tax & shipping).  In addition to all the amazing stuff that comes in the kit, you also get to choose a punch (worth $24) and a Simply Set kit (worth $28).  The Colour Coach also comes with your SAB starter kit.  It's a pretty great little do-dad to have when picking out colours to go together.  That's what I used when picking my combos for these cards.  I also throw it in my purse when I head out craft shopping to see what I've got to work with at home.  Yes, I am that person.

  To sign up for the starter kit click here to go to my online Stampin' Up store.  If you're not sure what products you'd get the most use of, call or email me and I can help you figure it out.

Happy Sale-a-brating!
