Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Oh My! Well, I didn't quite get the project done for Monday's blog post that I wanted; we'll save that for another day. But I did play somemore with the March Paper Pumpkin -- that has to be one of my most favorite Paper Pumpkins of all time. If you want to see my alternative projects, you can join the private DDS Facebook Group and check it all out 😉
This is a BIG week at Stampin' Up! -- and TODAY is the BIG Day!! The one I dread every single year; the one that plunges me into sobbing; and then, alternatively, GREAT excitement! What's wrong with you, you say?? . . . Well . . . .

Before we go today . . . a 2018-2020 In Color Focus . . . as we get ready to say goodbye to this beautiful set of In Colors!


This set of fun card was created to showcase the retiring In Colors - and to give me a chance to finally play with a stamp set I've wanted to work with so badly ~ Music From the Heart!

Each card in this set features one of the 2018-2020 In Colors. The cards were kept fairly simple, with less layering than I usually do.
I wanted to feature this adorable stamp set -- and focus on each of the In Colors as I went.
And as you know -- there are plenty of coordinating products, including the designer paper (now sold out), the ribbon, and the enamel dots - which doesn't even account for the ink pad, ink refill and the stampin write marker -- all of which get used on each of these cards!


I am going to miss these fresh "Primary" colors that felt both like going back to school; and at the same time were perfect shades for so many projects.


This card is fun because I used ALL 5 of the In Color inks to create the whisper white panel of floating notes.


Don't forget to add little touches, like Clear Wink of Stella to the notes.
And yes -- I did a fair amount of fussy cutting on the different cards. But, like this treble clef here -- it's really not too difficult to cut out.


This one is probably my favorite - probably because I play the piano; and I love the floating fuss cut notes on this card

Get your In Color stash and stock up before it's too late! The In Color products always sell out first and fast!!

I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
Hugs, . . .
