I do love my cherry cobbler!

Here's one more card I made with our Color Your Season Suite.  It's just like one from my Saturday Stampers class, except I used Stampin' Blends (Cherry Cobbler) instead of our Watercolor Pencils.  The color is just a little bit more intense than with the pencils.  I do love my Cherry Cobbler!  Here's my card.

Petal Pink 4 X 4 Cards

Here are two more cards today using the Blended Season stamps, just in a smaller size.  These cards show how simple you can make a card be with this set and yet still look really cute.

This is not a mailable size card, but I usually give these out in person or tucked into a gift or customer order.  You can even make an envelope to fit this card using the Envelope Punch Board (EPB).  If I decide to mail this size, I place it in the A4 size envelope.

Hello Cherry Cobbler, my Dear Friend

I haven't made a card with Cherry Cobbler for a while, so it was so much fun to get it out again for today's card.  One of our brand new Watercolor Pencils is Cherry Cobbler and it made me so happy to see it.  I was actually amazed at how deep the colors turned out.  You can keep layering on the color as much as you'd like.  I think the flowers came out really pretty. 

The card is kept very simple, to let the colors be the star.  Later, I'll share another version of this card, using Stampin' Blends for the coloring.

Here are all 4 of my cards again.  These were fun to create.  Which one is your favorite?

Color Your Seasons Bundle / Petal Pink Card

Today's card is created using one of our new colors - Petal Pink.  I've never been a huge pink lover, but I do like this new shade.  It is very delicate and will make great Spring cards, not to mention baby girl cards.  My card today is inspired by a SU card using this bundle, but theirs was a smaller, square card.  I'll share a couple of my square cards with you later.  Today's card is full size.

I'm disappointed that my scoring details did not show up at all in the photo, but they add a lot to the card in person.  I scored 5 lines - 2 above the thank you and 3 below.  Scoring is a simple and easy way to add more texture and detail to your cards.  I played around with different types of a ribbon or bow on my card, but decided I liked it better without.  I used my Stamparatus to get the spacing exact on my wreath.  I'll share a tutorial on that at a later date.  Once I figured it out, it was so easy!

Come back soon to see my one more card I created for this class.
