My trio today uses the April Palette I've introduced earlier this month. This palette includes Petal Pink, Grapefruit Grove, Fresh Fig, Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana. March customers received thank you gifts that included product samples that work with these colors. April customers will receive a selection in a new color grouping.
I'm still trying to get 3 projects done using retiring, carryover and new catalog preview sets. So far, so good!
My new catalog preview looks a little familiar doesn't it.
- Smile It's your time to shine. This features Daisy Lane, a companion set to Daisy Delight . The existing punch works with this set and there will also be a smaller one!
- Colors are simple here: Mint Macaron with Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove.
- The lovely ribbon, Mint Macaron 1/4" Textile Ribbon is also new. Soft and very tie-able.
- The Buffalo Check background stamp and Delicate Lace dies are also featured.
- Grapefruit Grove faceted dots are lovely with this card. Sadly, they will retire soon.
- My carryover card features the Beauty Abounds Bundle with its fabulous dies.
- This is very similar to a card I did this past winter. While I adore the beautifully detailed Butterfly dies I still like some "white" space on my card, even it it is Petal Pink! The previous card used the scarce Grapefruit Grove Foil. This one has watercolor paper that has been splattered with the April Palette colors. I used an aquapainter and ink from my ink pad lids.
- The greeting is "A friend is someone who chooses you..." with "...out of a whole world of people." on the inside.
- The paper is Petal Pink and the embossed white message is also from Beauty Abounds.
- Embellishments: Basic Pearls.
Finally, we have a few sets that I'm sad to be saying goodbye to:
- The greeting is from Friendly Expressions, great greetings that are all capable of being the focal point on your cards.
- Colors are Fresh Fig, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron. Playful Backgrounds is perfect for making your own background paper, ANY COLOR YOU WANT. I'm going to miss the stripe like pattern, especially.
