Wacky Watercooler First Anniversary Blog Hop

Wow!  It's hard to believe a whole year has passed since the very first Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop.  I'm thrilled to be a part of the celebration.  You've arrived here from Deborah Smart's blog and her great projects.  Our focus for this hop was the new 2014-2016 In Colors and the new Designer Series Papers.  You do know there is a special on this month, right?  It's a Buy 3, Get 1 Free.  You'll definitely want to check that out!

My order didn't get here in time for me to use the new Designer Series Papers I ordered, so I used papers from the new Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, which is not part of the above mentioned special.  Each card I made does show off the new 2014-2016 In Colors, which are totally fabulous.  I can't get enough of them!

One of the newest stamp sets I've purchased is the Kinda Eclectic and I am loving it.  Paired with our new 2014-2016 In Colors it makes for a very pretty card.  Well, at least I think so.  :-)

Stamp Sets:  Kinda Eclectic, Bloom with Hope; Inks:  Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Smoky Slate; Card Stock:  Wild Wasabi, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Modern Label Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals

All Stampin' Up!® Product

For the first time that I can remember, I can say I actually like the color orange.  Tangelo Twist just seems to jump out at me and force me to like it.  I saw a similar card in my browsing but the person didn't have a watermark so I don't who to give credit to but I do thank them for sharing it.  If you know who it is, please let me know so I can give proper credit.  The only differences in my card from the original is the orientation and the sentiment. 

Stamp Set:  Trust God; Ink:  VersaMark Watermark; Card Stock:  Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Owl Builder Punch, White Embossing Powder, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

My third card is an anniversary one to celebrate our year of Wacky Watercooler blog hops.  I am loving the richness of those new In Colors!  Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey look so well together.  Don't you think so?

Beautiful Floral

For today's card, I combined two challenges.  Crushed Curry and Midnight Muse are the colors from the Colour Me Weekly Creative Challenge.  The sketch is from the Fab Friday Challenge Blog.  I really like how this came together.  I love these two colors together.  Crushed Curry seems to go with so many different colors and I love how well it looks with the Midnight Muse.

Stamp Sets:  Trust God, Flower Shop (Stampin' Up!); Ink:  Midnight Muse (Stampin' Up!); Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry, Midnight Muse, Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Pack - retired (Stampin' Up!); Accessories & Tools:  Blossom Punch, Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch, 1/8" Silver Mini Brads, Pearl Basic Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals (Stampin' Up!)

Summer Sunburst

Today's card is mostly Stampin' Up!®  I love the sunburst in the Lifestyle Crafts Celebrate 2-Pack Embossing Folder set.  I have several ideas on how to use it on one of my Mixed Media canvases but that's for another time.

Stamp Set:  Trust God; Ink:  Pacific Point; Card Stock:  Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight; Accessories & Tools:  Dazzling Details, Lifestyle Crafts Celebrate Embossing Folder, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine

It's clean.  It's simple.  It's bright.  It's cheerful.  Now I'm off to work on my plaque and, hopefully, get one of my Mixed Media canvases done.

Secret Garden Chalk Garden

This is one of the gift items that I have for sale.  If you would like to purchase it, e-mail me at marsha@coffeepotstampingcafe.com for all the details.  The photo is blurry but the original is not.  And, there is always a money back guarantee.

Serene Silhouettes meets Trust God

Two of the stamp sets I knew I had to have, when the new Annual Catalog came out, were Serene Silhouettes and Trust God.  This is one of the cards I made for my upline's current Holiday Catalog Swap.  Because I haven't had a lot of time to be creative and the deadline was fast approaching, I kept the card on the simple side.  I really like how the Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo came together.

Stamp Set(s):  Serene Silhouettes, Trust God; Ink(s):  Island Indigo; Card Stock:  Naturals White, Lucky Limeade, Twitterpated Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  1" Square Punch, 1-3/4" Scalloped Circle Punch, Dazzling Details/Silver Sparkle, Stampin' Dimensionals

If you don't have your copy of the Annual Catalog or the new Holiday Catalog, let me know.  You can e-mail me your address and I'll put one in the mail the same day.
