For this month’s blog hop, we decided to feature the new in colors! I thought it would be fun to make a card that looks more intricate, like the ones I see in the catalog that have lots of thing die cut out and glued behind sentiments with ribbon and lots of embellishments. And like always, I had a hard time deciding on a color scheme. So I figured, why not do a bunch?

This sentiment set is one of my very favorites. It’s fun and modern and it makes me laugh. I love how some of them have punctuation! Also, so much of the time I use sentiments to come up with a nice thing to say, and so I think the “Insert Clever Message Here” is so funny and useful for people who aren’t sure what to write in cards.

Also, I tried 3D embossing the base of the card and I think it turned out really well! It creates a fun texture and I don’t have to worry about cutting out another piece of cardstock. I was a little worried things wouldn’t adhere well, but everything seemed to work fine.

Which color combination do you like best?

Next, please check out a card made by Mary Lou Green! She always has such neat designs and I’m excited to see what she does with the new In Colors.

Happy crafting!
