Inquiring Minds was my original idea for today's blog post. I was going to show you some comparisons of the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! In Colors. Don't ask me how, but the post grew until it took full bloom and became a Paper Flower Bouquet for Mother's Day.
Color Comparisons
Not to be detered, I can still show you some color comparisons of both new In Colors and Returning In Colors. Let's Begin.
- Blues-The Scallop Circle Flower in the Center is Coastal Cabanna. It's it pretty? The Fun Flower to the left is returning Bermuda Bay. Notice how nicely it compliments both Coastal Cabanna and Pool Party. You guessed it the flower on the right is Pool Party. It was made with the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit from the Spring Catalog which Expires May 31.
- Peachy Orange Colors-The big Fun Flower on top right is the new Crisp Cantaloupe and the smaller Pop-Up Posy next to it is Calypso Coral. Also returning, but not pictured is Blushing Bride, a soft peachy pink.
- Pinks-The Big Fun Flower with the button center is Strawberry Slush. It even sounds delicious. And the gingham Pennant and heart are Melon Mambo Designer Paper (Gingham Garden DSP).
Making Paper Flowers
- To make the Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush Flowers, I cut 2 layers each with my FUN FLOWER BIGZ DIE. Crumple and curl to your hearts content.
- Both the Calypso Coral and Pool Party Posies were from the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit. They are real easy to make because most of the work is done for you. The Flowers are already Cut. All you have to do is curl and assemble. The kit comes with cute buttons, but I couldn't resist adding matching ruffled ribbon centers.
- The Coastal Cabanna Flowers is made up of 12 Scallop Circles. (2-3/8", 1-3/4", 1-1/4", 7/8")
Mother's Day Gifts to Make
It's amazing the beautiful Mother's Day Gifts that you can make with Paper, Punches and dies.
My Pennant was cut with the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die in Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar. Pistachio Pudding & Baked Brown Sugar are two yummy new In Colors.
