Hopper's Blog Hop - Color Coach Combo


Welcome to the August Hopper's Blog Hop!  We're having fun with color this hop so come join us!  There's a prize this month of (24) 6" x 6" pieces of Staminp' Up! Designer Series Paper (current and retired).  All you need to do is visit every blog in the hop and leave a comment.  There will be a random drawing at the end of the month. Leave your email address with your comment so we can contact
                           you or check back on the 27th.

Are you familiar with Stampin' Up!'s Color Coach?  Do you use it!  I love mine.  It's a great tool when your creativity feels "stuck". Choose a color and let the coach suggest two different combinations.  

Real Red was chosen for our Hopper's Challenge and I chose the Getting Started Combination.  It's a combination I probably wouldn't have thought of on my own...Real Red, Early Espresso, and Pumpkin Pie?  But look how cute it turned out!  

The Ronald McDonald stamp set, Moving On has been getting a work out in my stamp room.  I just think it's so much fun for both kids and adults.  I also love that $3 of the price of the stamp set is donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities where they help support families with children who have serious illnesses.  

Purchase the Moving Forward Stamp Set through my online store and receive a Free video tutorial for a matchbook gum or candy holder pictured here.

We hope you'll be inspired to create your own card using either this color combo or the creative combo...Real Red, Bashful Blue, and Crumb Cake. Email me a picture and I'll post it on my blog.

  8. Hey Gigi...This was a fun one to create. Funny thing was after I designed this for the blog I saw one on Pinterest that was similar with the flowers. She added another basket to the front with more flowers. Cute also...have fun casing.

    1. Carolyn...Thanks for stopping and leaving a comment. I'm sure your classes will love the card. I think I may do this or something similar for club this month. I love the fact that if my customers purchase the stamp set $3 goes to the Ronald McDonald Charities. :)
