SIP #30 Color Challenge Balloon Celebration and Perfect Pairings

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are off to a start of a fabulous week!  We went from 60 degrees to 20 degrees pretty quickly around middle Tennessee.  Is it too early to wish Spring would show back up?  This week over at Stamp, Ink, Paper we have a fun color challenge!  The colors are Rose Red, Crumb Cake, and Gold! 

I've been on a gold kick lately so this was right up my alley. lol  Here's my card using the new "Balloon Celebration" Stamp Set, "Perfect Pairings" Stamp Set, and the Balloon Bouquet Punch!

This was such a super easy card!  I LOVE this new balloon bouquet punch and I really love that it comes in a bundle with the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set.  The Rose Red Balloon was stamped tone on tone and then punched out.  The Gold Glimmer Balloons were simply punched out!  I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up and used simple black and white baker's twine tied to the stem of the balloon.  I used my Allene's fast grab tackly glue to adhere the twine to my card.  It holds really well and dries quickly.  I also used the same adhesive for my Pretty Pink Posh gold sequins.  The sentiment is from the Sale-A=Bration Set "Perfect Pairings"

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings Tina

ICS Blog Hop Introducing the 2015-2017 In Colors

Hello and welcome to Inspire, Create, and Share's Blog Hop Introducing the 2015-2017 In Colors!  In case you haven't heard these brand new In Colors are Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, and Tip Top Taupe.  If you've been hopping along, you should have arrived from the super talented Deb Naylor's Blog.

I am LOVING these new colors!  I keep changing my mind on which is my favorite but right now it appears to be a tie between Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush.  They are both such fresh, fun colors so I those them to focus on for my project this month.

I started with a standard A2 card base of Cucumber Crush.  I added a strip of some of the New Cherry On Top DSP Paper onto left side of my card.  I then cut a 3 x 3 1/2" mat of Cucumber Crush cardstock and layered on more of the Cherry of Top DSP and then a smaller layer of Cucumber Crush.   It has such fun bright colors and matched the Watermelon Wonder and Cumcumber Crush DSP perfectly!  I stamped the ice cream cone base from the new Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set with Tip Top Taupe onto Whisper White cardstock.  I fussy cut it out and glued onto the layered rectangle.  I stamped the ice cream top tone on tone onto Tip Top Taupe as well as the Watermelon Wonder cardstock.  I then punched those out the new Tree Builder Punch.  I adhered the layers of the ice cream tops over the cone.  I then cut out three random width little strips of more of the Cherry On Top DSP and cut banner ends with the new Triple Banner Punch.  I glued those under the right side of the rectangle and then adhered it all with dimentionals onto my card.  I stamped my sentiment with Watermelon Wonder Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out each line seperately at backed it with Cucumber Crush cardstock.  I glued those in a random manner to the far left side of my card. I added a few Pearls and called it done.  I really love how it turned out!
