Stampin' Dolce: Mint Macaron - Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!

Today is a big day for the Artisan Design Team! It is May and this month in our weekly blog hop we will be creating with .... are you ready for it .... BRAND NEW products!

As an Artisan we were one of the first to get our hands on the new products coming in the new 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue in June. That is one amazing perk, right!?

We had to keep it all top secret and today I am relieved that I finally get to share with you all!!

One of my fave parts of getting a new catalogue is that we get 5 new In Colors! I love color, I love trends and I love new Stampin' Up! things to play with! As soon as I opened the box I gravitated to Mint Macaron ... It is as yummy as it sounds!

Each year when the new In Colors are released there is a coordinating ribbon ... This year it is this romantic Dotted Lace Trim! It measures 1" in width and is super soft. I wrapped a few layers around the bottom of the card and you can not help but want to touch it!

The stamp set I used is a new Host Set that is coming. The Birthday greeting is large and perfect for this simple card. The stamp on the inside, "to a good friend", is also in the set.

In this card I cut the Dotted Lace Trim into fine little strips. It looks like tulle when you do this. Another coordinating accessory are the new Blossom Accents. Add a little glue dot and they add just that little something to your project. Don't you love them??

Do you see another In Color here?? Why, yes ... you sure do! Mint Macaron is paired with Tip Top Taupe! This stamp set is also another newbie. It has the cutest shapes and great words! You are going to want it on your shopping list!
