Color Revamp: Remember the Basics

6/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Sweet & Simple with Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper. www.MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com
We've spent all week talking about the 2018 Stampin' Up! Color Revamp.  After talking about Brights, Regals, Subtles, and Neutrals, it's time to remember the Basics.   There's a certain elegance and sophistication in the use of nothing but Basic Black and Whisper White.   Symbols of both faith and grief, black and white makes the perfect sympathy card. 
Picture
Before we wrap up our Color Revamp Week, let's take one more look at Stampin' Up'!'s new colors. 

I am putting in a final June Order tonight.  Let me know if there's something you need - like ink or paper these amazing new colors - and I'll add it to my order.

And be sure to tune in to my Crafty Saturday Facebook Live tomorrow morning at 9 am.  I love crafting and chatting with you on a Saturday morning! 
Do you absolutely have to have the new COLORS and new Ink Pads? Join my growing and dynamic Stamping Bee team in July, and receive your choice of one complete color family of 10 ink pads. That's over $67 in savings! Email me to day to learn more. Michelle@MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com Stampin' Up! © 2018

Color Revamp: Meet the New Neutrals

6/28/2018

0 Comments

 
Stampin' Up!'s new Neutrals Collection. www.MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com
In the design world, a neutral color means something is without color.  You can't tell me that Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, and Night of Navy are without color! The Stampin' Up! Neutrals Collection gives 'neutral' a whole new meaning.   Like a little black dress, the Neutrals go with everything! 
Picture
Speaking of little black dress, you may be wondering where Black went.  It, along with Whisper White and Very Vanilla, have been moved to their own new color family: the Basics.
Picture
While the Neutrals ​& Basics play well with all the other colors families, they're also perfectly capable of standing alone.  

Today's Tutorial

Color Revamp: Subtles

New Subtles colors, from left to right: Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam, & Balmy Blue
Highland Heather is one of the new additions to the Subtles Collection. www.MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com Stampin' Up! © 2018
Well, I must have been sleeping when I made these cards because, there are 5, not 4, new colors in the Subtles Collection.  ​ Which one did I leave out? Why, Highland Heather!  I'm guess I'm just not a purple person because I never even realized it was missing from my own palette.   However, Highland Heather is a pretty dreamy purple.  Like the rest of the Subtles Collection, it's soft, delicate, slightly muted, and much more subdued than the Brights or even Regals.   That's not to say, though, that they can't stand alone!  There's nothing wimpy about these colors!


The 2018 Subtles Collection features 5 new colors: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and the return of Mint Macaron. www.MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com Stampin' Up! © 2018
Can you spot the error?
The entire Subtles Collection of ink pads can be yours for FREE when youjoin my Stamping Bee team in July!  That's a $67 value, not to mention Free Shipping, too!  The offer starts July 1, so get your Wish List started now!


Today's Tutorial

Soft Sea Foam is my favorite new Subtles Color. Here, it's paired with the Petal Palette Stamp set. www.MakingMemorieswithMichelle.com Stampin' Up! © 2018
Base: Soft Sea Foam, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Layer 1: Basic Black, 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Layer 2: Soft Sea Foam, 5" x 3 3/4"
Layer 3: Whisper White, 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"
​
  1. On Layer 3, stamp the following:
    1. Stems in Mossy Meadow (a new neutral!)
    2. Flowers in Soft Sea Foam
    3. Bird in Basic Black
    4. Dot border in Soft Sea Foam
    5. Sentiment in Basic Black
  2. Color bird by squeezing a little So Saffron into the ink pad lid.  Add a drop or 2 of ink from your Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen and mix gently.  Use the glittery color to pain the bird.   Allow to dry a minute or two. 
  3. Adhere all layers and add to base. 
  4. Wrap Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon  around the whole front base and tie a bow.
