This new stamp set arrived at work on Friday! Just in time for me to whip up this card for today's workshop! I came up with the colour combo while sorting through retired ribbon. Usually I would not put Tempting Turquoise together with Old Olive and Early Espresso, but it jumped right out at me! The card layout is based on a card I made last July: Thinking of Chocolate.

Supplies
Stamps: Just Believe
Paper: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Early Espresso markers, Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon, silver brads, stampin' dimensionals, sticky strip

Designer series paper can make a card very easy to create and it is double sided! You could also use a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Friends Never Fade stamp set to create a faux designer paper of you own in whatever colours you choose.

Baja Breeze, a previous In Colour from 2007, is one of my ultimate favourite colours. What is your favourite colour in the new collections?

Supplies
Stamps: Sincere Salutations
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz, Greenhouse Gala designer series paper
Accessories: Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, Baja Breeze ribbon (retired), designer buttons, glue dots, stampin' dimensionals, wide oval punch, scallop board punch, sticky strip

Came across a very cool technique on the weekend over on Splitcoaststampers. This card is for the WICKED challenge for Demonstrators. I haven't participated in this challenge before, and I have 2 other parts for this months challenge to try too! Guess you can say I've been lurking for long enough, time to break out of my comfort zone and do some challenges!

To create the tin roof ceiling technique I started with Sahara Sand paper and heat embossed silver powder all over it and then punched out the circles. Then theses circles were run through the Big Shot with the new Vintage Wallpaper Impression folder then heated each circle with the heat tool to get the silver embossing nice and shiny!

I hope to see you on Sunday to celebrate the release of Stampin' Up!'s new 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue! Are you in the Kingston, Ontario area and wish to attend? Please contact me by email to reserve your spot.

Supplies
