Simple Soft Hostess set + Pool Party ribbon by Stampin Up and me

The Simple Soft Hostess set from Stampin Up (#122567 - $13) is such an elegant stamp set. You can 'buy' it with your Hostess dollars for only $13. You can earn these Hostess dollars, when you place an order of $200 through my online SU store. These $200 in products give you $35 in Hostess dollars. So after buying this stamp set for only $13, you still have $22 left to spend. So exciting :)

And Stampin Up has 12 exclusive Hostess products specially low priced to help your rewards go further. But of course you can purchase any catalogue item you want with your Hostess dollars.

Did you notice the soft flowing 1/2 '' Seam Binding Pool Party Ribbon that drapes like silk in the New Mini Catalogue? (#125582 - $9.50 for 10 yards)

Here you see one of the textured Impressions Embossing Folders. This one comes in a set of 2 beautiful frames. Create strongly embossed highlights, frames and accents on single layers of card stock and DSP with these smaller sized plastic

textured Impressions embossing Folders. The oval shape in the middle coordinates with the Extra Large Oval Punch. I love that Stampin Up thinks of those fun details. It makes creating pretty cards so much easier.

Hi dear everyone.

  I used the beautiful Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge #126 to create this card. They encouraged us to use Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy and White. I chose Pool Party instead of the Baja Breeze and added some Crumb Cake to it. It just needed that neutral color to give this card a bit softer / natural look.

  Then I hopped over to the Play Date Cafe blog and saw that their #113 Challenge had the same flavour of colours. Love it! It so happens that these colours are my favorite, so I didn't need a whole lot of convincing to jump over to my craft room.

I hope you enjoy my post today. Have a beautiful evening or day! The weekend is here and I hope you will have a good time with the ones you love!

Inky hugs, Pauline
