Ready to get started with my projects? The theme this month is “Black and White and Whatever You Like”… there are so many awesome color schemes that coordinate nicely with black and white. I knew I wanted to use our brand new Sale-a-bration recent release of Pedal Pusher, and the last time I was on a bike was when I went to California in September on the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip and we rented beach cruisers to ride along the boardwalk. One of the bicycles was this dreamy mint macaron color, so that’s what I decided to go with for my “whatever I like” color. Once I started this idea, I started noticing this color trio everywhere!
So this was my inspiration for my card creation for the blog hop!
Luckily, as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I was able to pre-order the three new releases earlier this month, and had time to play with them all- and I just had to incorporate all three into this blog hop.
I knew I wanted a pop of color, and our gorgeous washi tape did the trick!
I knew I wanted it to be a birthday card, so the mini balloon punch and “It’s my party” enamel dots helped spruce it up.
Then decided at the last minute to add some mini pearls too… what do you think?
Now to create a coordinating gift card holder…
The new Metallics Glitter tape is a breeze to tear and use- no scissors needed! I love the shimmer and sparkle it adds to the mini treat bag holder.
At first I planned to turn the bag on it’s side, but I didn’t really care for this orientation, so I turned it:
Much better, don’t you think?
Now for the inside- had to use the brand new set “Party Pants”… don’t you love that sentiment “put your party pants on”??? I love it!
See what I mean? Black, white and mint are everywhere! (don’t you love this gorgeous kitchen? I am putting this on my bucket list!)
