Week 10 of the 12 weeks of Christmas: another fun color scheme!

 

 I decided for this week to use the color scheme listed for the November 2021 Paper Pumpkin.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?! I've used Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade together before but I don't recall ever adding in a green. Wow! I love these. I've been having a ton of fun with these colors all week. I'm making the most out of my time leading up to gift giving. One thing you can do is give card sets as gifts. Many people often need cards at the ready for any occasion. 

Today I'm going to share a few cards with you that I've made featuring these colors. I hope you give this color scheme a try. It's not just for the holidays!


I started pulling all kinds of stamps off my shelf to try with this color scheme. I think it will work for many occasions as well as the upcoming holidays. I decided to focus on gift sets that I could use this color scheme on. It's been a ton of fun playing.

This card uses Artistically Inked. It's simple stamped with just inks, stamps and paper. I stamped on a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I adhered that to my Poppy Parade card base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" folded in half). Don't forget a piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside too. You can stamp it as well as stamp your envelope. I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to receive a beautiful envelope and handmade card in their mailbox. 

This card uses Hand-Penned Petals and the fun texture stamp from Tasteful Touches. I used the same sizes as the other card. You could make several different cards with different colored card bases or mats and wrap them up as a gift set. 5 to 6 cards simple stamped with a few layers and envelopes fit nicely into an acetate box. You can even decorate the acetate box.

I hope you'll play along with this week's color scheme and have some fun. You can find a place to share your creations on my Facebook page here.

Happy stampin' and have a great week! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
