Back to Smoky Slate... A Color Story in 2 Versions... and the End of our New Colors Series

Today, we will wrap up our series on our new colors by going back to Smoky Slate.  When I made my first cards with this new color, I did not yet have my new Color Coach.  I decided, once I got it, that I'd make cards using the suggested color stories from the Color Coach.

In my previous post, I showed you 1 color story on a card with Washi Tape.

The color story:

• Smoky Slate
• Daffodil Delight
• Whisper White

Here is a second color story, which I've used for 2 different cards.
Here is version 1:

The color story:

• Smoky Slate
• Soft Sky
• Calypso Coral

Here is version 2:

The second card has more Calypso Coral and this last one has more Smoky Slate.
Leave a comment and tell me which card you like the best.  Have a great day!

How About Some Crisp Cantaloupe?

Today's color is Crisp Cantaloupe in our continuing series on our new colors.  This new In Color is quite hot in the fashion world right now.  Here are the Color Coach color stories for Crisp Cantaloupe.

First up, we have:

• Crisp Cantaloupe
• Coastal Cabana
• Pistachio Pudding

I've used the same stamp set and coordinating punch and embossing folder for both cards.  Notice how I used the reverse side of the embossed piece on each card.  What a difference the colors make in each card.

Our second color story (for the card on the left) is:

• Crisp Cantaloupe
• Pink Pirouette
• Soft Suede

Which color story do you like the best?  I have not done the monochromatic versions of each color, but they are also suggested on the Color Coach cards.

Boxes, Banners, Bags and Tags

As promised, today's post continues with more Stamp Club sneak peeks.  Today, we'll focus on my August Stamp Club --- Boxes, Banners, Bags and Tags.  I can't wait to do these projects with you!

I didn't have my order here yet for the bags when I took this shot, so I'll show you the cute little bag separately.  Isn't this cute?

For this class, we'll use the boxes kit and then the bags and accessories kits.  Here's all you get in the accessories kit:

In my class, we'll focus on ways to use the tags in addition to using them to tie onto a gift.  The banner was all made with tags.  I made good use of my 2 butterfly punches, too.   The card was made with the tags, too.  I used one of our fabulous new embossing folders used on it.
