Do you remember when I posted a Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Madness Stamp Set? I had written that with a quick change of colors and greeting the design could be used for any occasion. Here it is the same Mosaic Madness card in brown and pink.
So pretty and feminine in pink and brown. The pink one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! colors, Blushing Bride. Blushing Bride is a soft color that does still manage to show up well on the Whisper White Card Stock. Isn’t the contrast strikingly beautiful between the soft pink and the deep brown of the Early Espresso?
The Mosaic Madness Stamp Set has a coordinating punch, the Mosaic Punch. You did not think I cut those out so perfectly by hand, did you? 🙂
While pointing out punches, that little Early Espresso flower in the center was made with the one of the punches in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. Itty bitty is accurately descriptive. You will be surprised at how often you will find yourself reaching for one of the three punches because you need just a little something to add to your handmade cards. On this card, the little punch flowers with the small Basic Pearl Jewel in the center is the finishing touch. How different this card would look without them.
Here we have another Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack flower adding to the coordinating embossed card stock. The embossing folder is the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. Now that I think of it, this may be the first time Stampin’ Up! has had a coordinating stamp set, punch and embossing folder. If you can think of another trio, leave me a comment. Coordination is the way to my stamping heart. 🙂
Coordination and savings. Two of my favorite things. If you like saving money too, when you purchase the Mosaic Madness Bundle (wood mount #132734 / clear mount #132733) that includes the stamp set and punch you will save 15%! Something to remember about the bundles: they are only offered for the duration of the catalog they are first introduced. The 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! Catalog reads through May 31, 2014. After that, if the products are in the following catalog, the bundle savings will disappear.
Just a couple of other stamping products used on this card to mention. The “thanks so much” is from the One in a Million Stamp Set (wood mount #132052 / clear mount #126382). The loop of ribbon is the Blushing Bride 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain #131209. The large circle was punched with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch #120906.
All of the stamping products used to make this card are available to order in my online store www.shopwithshelly.com.
Stamping Smiles,
The original card was in Real Red and Gumball Green for Christmas, I thought about changing the Real Red to Midnight Muse. That combination reminds me of the 80’s. Remember all the sweaters in those colors?
