I used the new 2013-15 In Color card stock and inks from Stampin’ Up! to create a graduation card. I love the color names: Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding…yummy!! My design was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches #84. I tried to keep it fairly clean and simple since I need to mail this one.
I started by stamping the Swallowtail image in Pistachio Pudding ink on Pistachio Pudding card stock. I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock, then to the Baked Brown Sugar card base with SNAIL.
I stamped the Pure Gumption sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar ink on a Crisp Cantaloupe strip. I adhered the stamped strip to a strip of Baked Brown Sugar card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the chevron images from the Oh, Hello stamp set in Baked Brown Sugar ink on Baked Brown Sugar card stock. I trimmed the chevrons using my Stampin’ Trimmer and Paper Snips and I adhered the strip to the card front with SNAIL. I finished the front by adding three pearls to the lower right corner.
I added a panel of Pistachio Pudding card stock that I’d stamped with the Swallowtail image inside the card.
I’ll stop tormenting you with sneak peeks…at least for tomorrow. 🙂 I’ll be sharing a card using products that you can get your hand on right now.

New Catalog DSP, Ribbon and Embellishment Share
I thought that I’d let you all know that I’m planning to offer a Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and Embellishment share from the new catalog. If you’ve never been a part of a share, they’re a great way to get a sample of all of the new offerings from the catalog without breaking the bank! I’m still working out all of the details and I’ll post the share information next week. I’m planning to include shares of all of the new items, but drop me a note if there is anything else (ribbon/DSP/embellishments that carried over from last year) that you’d like a share of and I’ll see if I can work it in. And let me know if you have any other questions about the share too!
