Orange You Glad

Here's one more project showcasing the Spring trend for the color orange.  This card features the beautiful, beachy orange:  Calypso Coral.

Have you worked with fabric in your paper crafting?  Stampin' Up! fabric comes in a set of 3 coordinating fat quarters and adds dimension and textural interest to your projects.  And, it's gorgeous! 

•  I cut strip of fabric from the Tea for Two collection and then sewed several lines of basting spaced evenly apart (I had about 5 rows of stitching).  
• Then I pulled the threads gently to give it a ruffled appearance like you might see on a smocked garment. 
•  I stitched the taffeta ribbon down on the top for my custom made ribbon!
• I finished the card with a few strips of coordinating paper and lace tape
• The stamped images are from the Oh Hello! stamp set - aren't they lovely?

Spring Trend: Orange, Continued

Although I love Winter and snow, it happens about this time of year that I start spending more time at our local botanical gardens and gravitate toward brighter and more cheerful colors.  Orange is such a happy color and I'm glad to see it popping up all over the place in clothing, accessories, home decor, you name it.

Here's a cheerful gift bag I made using the First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper:

• I sponged the Paper Doily (129399) with Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango Ink 
• I used the Tangerine Tango ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration exclusive Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack (130812)
• The stamped sentiment if from the Sale-A-Bration exclusive stamp set Bloomin' Marvelous (129651)
• The tag is made from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and Framelits Bundle (131097)
• The tiny heart is from the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit Die (125596)
• And those gorgeous, girly roses are the 5/8" Flower Trim (126869)
