For those of you looking for a lighter shade of purple, it is here with the new In colors and named Wisteria Wonder. I made this top note quilt card using Pool Party, Island Indigo and Wisteria together with the polka dot embossing folder. In real color, the Wisteria is a little more gray than it appears on this card. The white mat around the top note shape was made using my Cricut and SCAL program. The first top note quilt I made had all of the new In colors, but the Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade just didn't look right to me. If I was going to select my favorite of the new In colors, it would be the Island Indigo. Pool Party would be second~~and together they look good. Have a nice day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

About The Ribbon
With the release of the new catalog, SU is releasing some new ribbons, too. And anyone who knows me, knows that I really like ribbon. As a demo I was able to preorder a spool of the new 1/2" Scallop Dots ribbon in chocolate chip. This grosgrain ribbon is printed with white polka dots on one side and solid on the other. The scallop edges of this ribbon have little pinholes in each scallop. It is adorable! The ribbon will be available in several colors, so in the future you will be seeing this ribbon on many of my cards. And speaking of ribbons, one ribbon that I absolutely love is the Daffodil Delight 5/8" satin ribbon and sadly, SU is retiring it. I will miss it, but then, 5/8" satin ribbon in Bashful Blue will be gorgeous! And did I mention the 3/8" ruffled grosgrain ribbon in the new In colors? Have not seen it yet, but the picture in the cattie looks pretty! Have a nice Sunday and find yourself a little stampin' time.

New In Colors Compared
Made a quick color comparison chart before my card class begins, so here you go. The 
center circle in each row is the new in color. I have compared the new colors to both present and retired colors. And at that, these do look much nicer in person.

Another New Cattie Peak!

etter--using those colors for a card I made using new stamps and new Designer Paper. The lower section of this card is from the Flirtatious Specialty Paper; the top is stamped using the Delicate Doilies Stamp set which coordinates with the paper; and the tag is from a new Hostess set--Happiest Birthday Wishes. I am liking my new Stampin' Up supplies and am sure that you will, too! Have a great day!
