Ok, as SOON as I saw the next set of In Colors on the cruise, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them and try this color combo. And wow, does it rock! This is Pear Pizazz--the fresh new green, a little darker than Celery; Peach Parfait--the most yummy shade of lightish muted orange you can think of; and Poppy Parade, a nice bright light red. I had a ball pulling together those three colors to make some very cheerful thank you cards.
Here's a few more variations on that color theme. Poppy Parade also looks amazing with Daffodil Delight and Certainly Celery, as seen n the "Kind Thanks" card on the right. I love the simple layout of the card with the circles--so cute but simple and easy to mass produce.
Then I had one more goal before I hit the hay last night, and that was to cut into the Greenhouse Gala double-sided papers, which just blew me away. The patterns are BOLD and gorgeous. The graphic artists at SU deserve a raise for this one! I knew as soon as I saw this particular pattern in Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, and Pear Pizazz, that it would make great cards even without much else. So I left these card super simple and just let the amazing DSP shine. And this pattern wasn't even my favorite out of the pack! I can't wait to fool around with more of this paper.
So there ya go--some sneaky peekys from the next catalog. Now we ALL have to wait to order from it on July 1st! I LOVE this time of year. It's so exciting to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I'm meeting with a friend this very afternoon to chat about how Stampin' Up can enrich her family's life. I'd be honored to answer your questions, too. Give me a call anytime!
Beautiful cards! I love love love the dsp too! Gotta get some of that now. :)

Beautiful. That Greenhouse Gala DSP just speaks for itself doesn't it?

Wow Lyssa! What a gorgeous bunch of cards! I can't wait to get my order on Tuesday. I will be waiting for the UPS man. If he's smart, he'll throw the box from the truck as he drives by...otherwise, I may attack him. LOL!!!
