Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

When I saw the colors for Kristina Werner’s Color Inspiration I had no idea what on earth I could possibly do with them! (I feel like this happens with at least half of the color combos!) And then I remembered the Bugs & Kisses set. I haven’t used it in, like, forever! It is not in the current Idea Book & Catalog, however, you can find it in the online store and on the Dormant List. (Dormant list stamp sets are not featured in the catalog, but are still available for purchase.) This week’s Color Inspiration:

My fun, summery card (which is good because it hasn’t been above freezing in way too long!):

Stamps: Bugs & Kisses
Ink: Basic Black, Green Galore, Real Red, So Saffron
Paper: Green Galor, So Saffron, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon, Top Note Bigz Die, Curly Label Punch, Dimensionals

Eve and I have been having so much fun lately, doing a little bit of stamping in between school and bedtime. I’m glad she doesn’t have any homework yet. She has been waiting (not so patiently) for Kristina Werner to post the new color inspiration. When we saw it was up, we got right to it! This week’s colors were a little tricky — Basic Black, Real Red, Green Galore, So Saffron, and Whisper White.

Here is what Eve came up with. She has been on a real “All in the Family” kick lately, and has gotten very good at matching up all of the little pieces. (I’ll post more of her All in the Family creations at a later point.) She used the Watercolor Pencils and matched them to the colors the best that she could.

Stamps: All in the Family, Family Phrases
Ink: Basic Black, Green Galore
Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Top Note Bigz Die (she ran it through the Big Shot all by herself!), Watercolor Pencils

Thanks for looking! Eve really appreciated all of your comments last week!
