Do you like the new In Colors? I have been playing with colour combinations for the last few weeks. The next few days I will be searching for some good combos for Christmas Cards. This year the 6 new colours are missing a green and a red. But that makes it a good challenge!

Today's card is a case. But I cannot remember which card I saw on Splitcoaststampers that inspired me! It could be either this one, or this or another one I haven't found as of yet!

There is a list of about 50 some odd things you can use in the Big Shot and aluminum foil is one of them (although the list says only for Bigz and Originals Dies but I figured that aluminum might work well with the texturz plates since it is similiar to cardstock in thickness). You still need to do some trial and error, because I tried a different plae - damask and it ripped the aluminum foil at a few places.

Supplies
Stamps: Party Hearty, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Crushed Curry, Basic Black
Paper: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, heavy duty aluminum foil
Accessories: Big Shot texturz plates, stampin' dimensionals

I'd class this card in the clean and simple category. If I make this card again I think I will make the scalloped edge even with the back. The uneven front-to-back makes the card look weird when you try to stand it up. Oh well.

To celebrate Stampin' Up!'s new 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalogue I am hosting a Get the Scoop party! More details here. Peruse through the new catty, get your chance to check out the new In Colors and create your own masterpiece with paper and with ice cream!

Using my new Big Shot and a brand new exclusive die from Stampin' Up! I created this card to show case off the new Falling Leaves stamp set. The ribbon is the reverse side of the polka-dot grosgrain ribbon, I love how it is reversible!

Paper: Kraft, Soft Suede, Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper, Very Vanilla
