Thank you for joining us for this month's Team Blog Hop!

I think I say this each year... Fall is my favorite season!  The fresh, crisp air and beautiful colors.  Funny, even though it means plants, flowers, and trees are losing their foliage and dying out for the year, it is more rejuvenating to me than spring. 

I'm excited to share my fall project with you, which is a creative fold card, featuring the Hello Harvest Bundle and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. 

Be sure to read to the end for 2 (two) incredible September deals happening now!

Welcome to our We BEE Stamping Blog Hop!

This month's theme is Color Coach Challenge.  What is a color coach?  Well, it is a color chart that Stampin' Up! provides with different combinations of color we normally would not think of.  Seeing as the 2022-2024 In-Colors are fresh an new, I chose to use the Sweet Sorbet coach and went with the combination of Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.  Here is what the coach looks like, and we have them for all the colors!  Very cool tool to have and a perk of a demonstrator.    

I don't know.... I'm kinda liking the Sweet Sorbet, Blushing Bride and Pool Party combo too!!!  What do you think?

Well, let's take a look at my project which features the new Cottage Rose Bundle.

Paper:   

• Balmy Blue CS:        4-1/4 x 5-1/2 and 3-1/4 x 8-1/2 (scored at 4-1/4 x 6-3/8)
• Calypso Coral CS:   2 pieces at 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 and a scrap piece for die cut & punch
• Basic Black CS:        2 x 3 (die cut flower inside)
• Basic White CS:       2 pieces at 3 x 4 and 1-1/2 x 3 and 2 pieces 1 x 4-1/8

Using the COTTAGE ROSE BUNDLE, stamp the flowers randomly on both the 1 x 4-1/8 pieces of basic white.  Color using Stampin' Blends markers in Balmy Blue, Sweet Sorbet, and Parkeet Party.  Adhere to sides of Balmy Blue CS that 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. 

Fold Balmy Blue 3-1/4 x 8-1/2 on scores and adhere largest section to center of above.  You can add the two pieces of Calypso Coral mats.   Only add glue to the bottom half of the piece that will be on front of card. 

Stamp and die cut your pieces on the two basic white 3 x 4 pieces and adhere.  Stamp and punch sentiment with Oval Punch and adhere with Dimensionals.

Saying goodbye to the 2020-2022 In-Colors... I cannot believe it has been two years already and we are saying goodbye to these five great colors; Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  But as sad as we might be to see them go, only means five great new colors will be introduced. 

Using the Ranunculus Romance Bundle, I gave each color a showing in this card project. 

Card Details:

• Misty Moonlight Card Stock:      4-1/4 x 5-1/2 and 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
• Magenta Madness Card Stock:   3 x 3
• Just Jade Card Stock:                   2 x 4-1/2
• Basic White Card Stock:              (2) 4 x 5-1/4

Other supplies:  Scalloped Contour Dies, Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, Sponge Daubers

• Form Misty Moonlight card base by folding the 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of CS in half. 
• With Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping ink off twice, stamp the antique script words randomly on one of the 4 x 5-1/2 Basic White and adhere to card base
• With the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Misty Moonlight, die cut the second largest Contour die and 4 decorative dies from Ranunculus dies, adhering those to the four corners of Contour die cut. 
• Add a piece of Crinkle ribbon to above and adhere to card front
• Die cut Ranunculus flower outline with the 3 x 3 Magenta Madness CS
• With the 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS:
  
  • die cut detailed ranunculus flower
  • die cut 2nd smallest Scalloped Contour die
  • stamp flower* and die cut
  • stamp "hello" in Bumblebee ink and die cut

*stamp flower:  I used Magenta Madness and Just Jade and a Stampin' Sponge to add color to the stamp

• Adhere white detail die cut flower to Magenta Madness and glue to card front. 
• Die cut two leaves from the Ranunculus dies and adhere to back corners of the Scalloped Contour die and add to card front with Dimensionals
• I added the Ranunculus stamped flowers with Dimensionals to the above
• The "Hello" is adhered with Dimensionals
• I tied a double bow with White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon
