Today we are taking a look at a cardmaking color trend that's floating around the world of paper crafting; using neutrals with a spot of color.

Notice that I didn't use the term "pop of color"?  With this trend, I've noticed subdued colors rather than bright or bold colors.  In Stampin' Up! terms, these would include colors from our Subtles or Neutrals Color Collections.  I've enjoyed challenging myself to follow this trend and hope you will be inspired to do so after seeing this video and these samples.

This video was a Premiere video on YouTube which is a series that I hope you will watch every Thursday evening at 6 PM Central.  These videos will vary in length from a few minutes to an hour and will remain on YouTube if you aren't able to join us for the Premiere.  However, if you are able to join at the Premiere time, you can participate in the LIVE chat if you are signed in to your Google or Gmail account.

If you missed it on YouTube, here's the video!

Hello friends!  Thank you so much for visiting me here on the Ink and Inspirations blog.  It truly makes my day to know you've checked in so that I can share what I love!

When I began this journey almost 15 years ago, little did I know how much this online community of paper crafters would mean to me.  You hear about it, sure, but I have experienced it first hand with so many who have followed, reached out, commented, or shared this little piece of my world.  I am truly grateful and I am looking forward to continuing to be part of your world.

If you will, I'd love for you to comment below and say hello!  And, be sure you have signed up HERE so I can share with you through your inbox each week to keep you informed on the latest.

May God bless you and your families. ---Lisa

It's Thursday and I am super excited to share a cardmaking tip for layering with you! 

The Color & Contour Bundle (English) [158356] was not on my "radar" when the Stampin' Up! catalog was released but the dies were irresistible which "forced" me into buying the bundle. Let me tell you... I have not regretted it one bit!  This combo is beautiful and so versatile.

Another surprise to me was this new In Color, Pale Papaya. It was my LEAST favorite when these new In Colors from Stampin' Up! were released this past spring.  Admittedly, it has been the color most used in this new collection. Go figure!  Stampin' Up! will not lead me astray.  This Pale Papaya color is gorgeous!

Let's take a look at the video so you can see it in action. :)

Lisa's Inklings:

• Pale Papaya Cardstock [155668] card base is cut 5 -1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Pale Papaya layer is cut 4 x 5-1/4.
• You will need approximately 5 x 4 of Basic White Cardstock [159276] for stamping and cutting
• Pansy Petals 12" X 12"Designer Series Paper [155807] is cut 3 x 4 to die-cut.

Did you catch that layering tip at the end of that card-making video?  It was an afterthought but you can totally incorporate that technique during the process.

Now it's time for you to give it a try! You will love this Color & Contour Bundle (English) [158356]!

Get what you need to create this sweet card and try this cardmaking tip for layering...I'd love to see what you create!

This "thinking of you" card makes a bold and beautiful statement in Stampin' Up! Basic Black and Poppy Parade.  The tiny edge of Basic White along with the sentiment makes this card really pop.  Just a little sprinkling of Daffodil Delight Classic Ink[147094] adds a touch of interest. 

Here's the step-by-step how-to...

• Cut the Basic Black Cardstock [121045] at 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”. Score at 4 1/4”.
• Cut the Basic White Cardstock [159276] piece at 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Glue down to card base.
• Cut the Poppy Parade Cardstock [119793] at 4” x 5 1/4”.
• Stamp the splatter stamp in Poppy Parade Classic Ink [147050] across the card stock as shown.
  
• Die-cut three of the flower pieces and one each of the butterflies in Basic Black with the coordinating dies, 
• Stamp the sentiment on Basic White in the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink [132708].
• Use the label to cut the sentiment then stamp the splatter stamp over the sentiment in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink [147094]. 
• Before gluing the flowers, make sure to trim stems so these will be hidden behind the sentiment.
  
• Position sentiment to glue over the bottom of stems.
• Adhere the butterflies as shown.
  

Here's an up-close look at this beautiful bundle used to create this "thinking of you" card.
