January Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop with Color Inspiration!

Hello and Happy Sunday!  Well today is a very special day ... It's Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop time!  Are you ready for some inspiration??  I was blown away last month and super excited to check out everything this month!

If you've already been hopping, thank you for continuing!  If you started here, please make sure to click the next button at the end of the post to get some fabulous scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! Products!  

I am super excited about this page... first of all I finally sprung for the Large Letter Framelits from Stampin' Up! and I am so so happy that I did!  They are really awesome and will be so helpful with my scrapbooking projects!  Secondly, I was able to use the awesome Celebrate You Thinlits from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (free with $100 Stampin' Up! purchase)!   This month our challenge is to use Coral, Green and Black.  Luckily the Sweet Soiree Suite, as well as the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Cards from the Sale-a-bration Catalog (free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase) uses Old Olive and Calypso Coral!  It's like it was meant to be! :)

I started off with a 12x12" sheet of Basic Black SU Cardstock with a wide strip of the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper!  I backed both my picture and the large Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card with a mat of Basic Black cardstock.  The tag in the lower right was cut from one of the Memories and More small cards with the Sweet Soiree Dies and backed with a cut from the same die in Basic Black cardstock.  I added a bit of thin old olive ribbon through the hole in the tags.  

I cut the "celebrate" from the Celebrate You Thinlits and the "U" and "S" from the Large Letters Framelits out of both Calypso Coral and Basic Black. I adhered the coral to the black off-setting them just a little down and to the right for a shadow look.  

After journaling on one of the cards, I adhered it to the large card with an off-set mat of another of the smaller cards in an Old Olive floral design.  I added some Glitter Enamel Dots ....my current favorite embellishment!  The stamped flowers from the Cake Soiree Stamp Set were stamped in Calypso Coral Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and cut out with the coordinating Sweet Soiree Dies.    

The die cut flowers were cut from the Sweet Soiree Dies in Calypso Coral and glued onto another piece of Calypso Coral Cardstock.  I fussy cut the backing cardstock and then added some Clear Wink of Stella to the top portion of the diecut.  All of the leaves were cut from the Sweet Soiree Dies in Old Olive Cardstock.  Everything was adhered with Tombow Multi Purpose Glue except for the top flowers in a grouping that were added with a dimensional to raise it above the other flowers.

To finish this page off I added some splatters with the Clear Wink of Stella pen (primarily to the Basic Black area).

The splatters took a while to dry but they really look fabulous and totally worth the wait!
