Mosaic Madness In Color

The new Stampin' Up! catalog is here!  New stamps, new tools and new colors!  Here is one card I made up with some new stuff.

I really like the new, fresh colors. I have used Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar here.  The stamp set, Mosaic Madness has a coordinating punch and also is sold in a "bundle" for a 15% discount.  Use these numbers for the bundle (132734[W]; 132733[C]). The background was made using the new embossing folder Modern Mosaic.

If you have seen the stamp set images (p. 123), you may have noticed that I cheated a little on the Baked Brown Sugar shapes.  Instead of cutting them out by hand, I used the Itty Bitty Punch that is a little smaller than the original image.

Wacky Wishes - PP113

A clean and simple banner project, a challenge hosted by the Paper Players, is the inspiration for today's card.  Banners are all the rage these days in all shapes and sizes.  Mine are petite, but the bright colors announce a big birthday celebration going on.

The finished little banners measure 1-1/2" from the front, but first I cut 2" x 3/4" strips, cut the "V" with a corner punch, ran them through the Polka Dot Embossing Folder, then scored them at 1-1/2" so I could fold the top over the Baker's Twine and glue it.  The cupcake is from the Itty Bitty Bits set and punched out with the circle from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.  Dimensionals were used on the banner and the cupcake.

The bottom corners each have some decorative paper piercing to add a little detail.  The new Paper Piercing Pack Essentials is a great tool for this.
