Stamp Off Bottles and Bubbles Color Challenge

Buffy, Susan and I are back again,

with another Stamp Off challenge!

Today we have a color challenge,

in anticipation of July 4th!  Stampin' Up!

has added some new reds to their color families, 

so that really opens things up!

I have a brother-in-law, whose birthday falls on

July 4th.  That made this challenge pretty easy for me,

as I needed a red-white-and-blue birthday card.

It made perfect sense to pull out my Bottles and Bubbles

Frmelits on page 216.  When in doubt, these framelits

are great for guys.

I think you for checking in, and urge you to 

continue on to see what Buffy and Susan have

created for you today!

Varied Vases with Bike Ride Basket

Varied Vases (on page 45), with the coordinating

Vases Builder Punch (p 212) is a great bundle on it's own.

You can make loads of bright, cheery cards with

this combination.

But one of the more interesting strategies is to pair

this bundle with other SU product.  In this example,

I placed the flowers in the Bike Ride (p 28) basket,

that was cut out with the coordinating Build A Bike

Framelits Dies (p 216).  I LOVE Bike Ride because this

bundle also enables you to create a huge number of looks.

The little basket is great fun to use with lots of

elements, including these lovely flowers.

Nature's Poem on Wood Textures DSP

Nature's Poem (p 143) is an extremely elegant set,

with coordinating Nature's Roots Framelits (p 218).

I appreciate the detailed foliage images and variety of

sentiments.  This set works year around, for masculine

or feminine, and a variety of techniques.

It is an awesome product suite that works well

with the coordinating Nature's Poem Designer 

Series Paper (page 189) or Wood Textures DSP
