Hydrangea Hue

 My pre-order arrived and this IN Color is my favorite!  And the new style of Magnetic ink pads will be introduced with the 5 IN Colors!  If you order ink pads always order a matching re-inker!  My first card is a Thank You card for customers.

Hydrangea Hue card stock and ink.  Sunset Coast bundle paired with Scenic Coast 6X6 Specialty Designer paper.  This paper is amazing!!  I used the ink pad to ink the edges and then popped up this panel on the card base.

The Lighthouse or Sail Boat Die Cut allow this paper to shine through.  Hydrangea Hue is not in this paper but it blends perfectly with some of the patterns!

I can’t wait to create more cards with this beautiful paper.  And the Magnetic ink pads close just by setting the lid on top!  All these products will be available May 5th when the catalog launches.  New Online Exclusives will also launch May 5th.

Next Market is May 2nd.  Pick up the new catalog!  8-1pm.

Valley in Bloom

 Independence Uptown Market is Saturday April 4th 9am-1pm.  I will have the new catalog available for pickup!  You will find this Suite of products on pages 22-23.  This new catalog goes live May 1st.  If you have ordered from me in the past year, a catalog will be coming in the mail to you near the end of April.

I recently saw this fun fold layout and wanted to make a few for Market.  My pre-order came yesterday and this paper is so beautiful!  I’ll post measurements next week as I need to tweak the card base a bit.  But the Cross designer wood paper is 1x 5 1/4.  Early Expresso layer is 1 1/4 x 5 1/2. 

Here is the open card.  I added a circle to the Cross with Lily of the Valley from the Sweet Bugs stamp set.  I have the new bundle coming in my next order.  The Sentiment is from a long Retired set.  I see beautiful Wedding cards using this paper!  And Wedding Scrapbook pages would be stunning!  

Hope to see you Saturday!!
