Do you think of August as summer or fall? For me, it's an in-between time, not really summer or fall. It's a time of changing seasons, kids returning to school, and stores putting out fall treats and décor.
As a demonstrator, my real signal of the changing seasons, is the release of the Mini Catalog packed with Autumn and holiday goodies. This year, for the first time, it's an even bigger celebration because we added a fall Sale-a-Bration, too!
For this month's Color Inspiration, I'm easing into the holiday season using a non-traditional color combo and repurposing a holiday set with a birthday theme. I think you'll enjoy the whimsical colors and adorable penguin.
Many holidays and seasons have become synonyms with specific color combinations and I've decided to break up that tradition with a cool, modern color scheme. let's be whimsical and create in colors that let penguins party and Christmas sparkle in pastels. For this month's Color Inspiration we are mixing Misty Moonlight and Just Jade from the 2020-2022 In Colors with Fresh Freesia from the 2021-2023 In Colors.
The first card features an unexpected birthday card using the Penguin Place stamp and die bundle (#156789) that coordinates with the Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (#158420). The Penguin Builder Punch can be used to punch some of the adorable penguins in the paper.
You can earn this paper as a Sale-a-Bration reward during August and September. The White 2/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) adds a touch of sparkle to this sweet card that proves penguins like to party and aren't just for winter!
The second card features the Whimsy & Wonder Suite (#156276), including the Whimsical Trees Bundle (#156810) and Whimsy & Wonder 12" x 12 " Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156329). White 2/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) and 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571) add a bit of sparkle.
For a custom bit of sparkle, the Sale-a-Bration reward Be Dazzling 6" x 6" Specialty Paper (#156629), is die cut to create the garland on the tree, and then colored with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends (#155518).
