The Remarkable Ink Big Hop - Retiring In-Colors with Beautiful You


Hi there and welcome to the April 2017 Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the retiring In-colors that will be going away at the end of May. You may just be getting started here on my blog, Stampin' n Scrappin' from the Heart, or you may have arrived from the hopper previous to me in the list. If you get lost at any time, the line up is below, just follow the links from blog to blog to see all of the wonderful projects from our talented demonstrator friends.
My card today is featuring my most beloved In-Color from the collection, Mint Macaron. I actually love all of the colors in the 2015-2017 In-Colors, but this one just makes me smile and draws me in unlike any of the other colors. It's hard to explain, but I just LOVE this color. Today, I mixed it up with the awesome stamp set Beautiful You found in the 2017 Occasions Catalog and went for a bit of a monochromatic effect.
I used the 2015-2017 In-Color DSP paper stack to do some paper piecing for her dress and hat, and tacked them down with a little Fast Fuse and using the reverse of the same sheet of DSP, For her skin, I colored her with the Pink Pirouette Stampin' Write marker and added a bit of Sahara Sand by just dabbing the marker. 
 I added a strip to the card base as an accent. I really hope you enjoyed this card. Please leave a comment below. I would like to thank you for taking part in our hop, there are so many amazing and inspiring projects to see that you will not want to miss out on, so remember, you are currently at my blog, www.snsfromtheheart.blogspot.com, so check out the list below to see who's next in the line up and be sure to go there next.

Easter Tweet with Stampin' Up! Little Cuties

Good Morning and happy Thursday! Wohoo, we're almost to Friday, which means we're almost to the weekend! Well, today's card comes from the Little Cuties stamp set and the name fits perfectly as these stamps are truly, "little cuties". I love them. Anyway, with Easter right around the corner I decided to make an Easter card and I decided to use the sketch challenge from my Facebook page as my layout (hint - kill 2 birds with one stone! ;))
I also decided I wanted to work with some of the retiring In-colors since they will be going away soon and I LOVE them sooooo much. I'm really going to have to stock up on these before they're gone for good and if you love them as much as I do, you should do the same because after April 10th, when the retirement list is released, once they sell out, that will be it, they will be "while supplies last". Sad I know, but we also know "all good things must come to an end" and in the case of SU!, it just means more good things to come. Just making room for brand new awesomeness!
To color this little chick, I used my blender pen and the Delightful Dijon ink pad and for her little tiny beak and legs, I used the fine tip of the Watermelon Stampin' Write marker from the 2015-2017 In-Color collection. I adhered all of the layers flat using fast fuse however, I did pop the little chick up on a dimensional. 
I hope this card made you smile and encourages you to pull out your In-colors, grab a sketch and play with a cute stamp set yourself. Play around and have some fun. Have a great day everyone and happy stamping,
Katrina
