CR84FN67 - We've got news for you ....

.... Welcome to CR84FN67.  Not only do we have the most gorgeous colours for you to play with, but we have a new team too!  Please join me in welcoming Helen Berry, Vickie Zimmer, Jody Morrow, Joanne Basile, Mackie Robinson and Lisa Henke to the team.  So excited to be working with these ladies;  the inspiration board is looking so pretty!!

As always, the photos in our colour graphic are really gorgeous and the quote this week is fabulous.  As soon as I saw these colours I thought of a rich, gold Christmas bauble - here's what I made.


Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nordic Winter, Nutcracker Sweet, 2011 Holiday Ornaments, Christmas Cottage
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Crumb Cake, Elegant Eggplant; Distress - Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord
Spellbinders: 2011 Heirloom Ornaments (S4-334) # 2 & 3, Labels 15 (S4-291) #5, Picot Edged Circles (S4-345) #3
Accessories:  SU Card - Crumb Cake; Kanban Card - various; Card from stash


I used this week's sketch at Mojo Monday - MOJO266 for the layout of the card.  I bet we all have a stash of card that we sort of horde!!  Well, I do and I've decided that I really must start to use it all up!  I have a large collection of Kanban card - they specialise in the most gorgeous foiled card and paper - I've used some here!!

I used kraft card to make the fishtail pennants - stamping patterns from Nordic Winter in matching ink. I cut a panel of the gorgeous purple and gold Kanban sentiment card; for a change the photo really catches the shine and colour.  The square(ish) panel is another piece of Kanban card, cut with one of the shaped label dies.  I stamped the bauble in Versamark, heat embossed with detail gold powder, cut out with Spellbinders die and while still in the die added colour with distress inks; a beautiful gold and purple bauble mounted onto a pretty kraft doily.  I finished off by stamping an accent bauble in purple and added a sentiment.  I decorated the inside too with a really simple greeting.

That's all for now - I'm looking forward to seeing all the gorgeous creations with these colours!  See you soon.

the kraft with the purple & gold is spectacular - I've finally got hold of kraft & what a super 'colour' it is to work with. Your white accenting is gorgeous with the subtle shift that the cream provides.
