Welcome back friends. The focus color this week is Mint Macaron, another of the brand new 2015-2017 In-Colors. And take a look at what I found online - our very own Mint Macaron Mustang! This 1965 Mint Green Mustang was shared by levispell on MadWhips website for the World's Hottest Cars. Look how so very close the car color matches to my bookmark! It's a win for sure!
Mint Macaron is already proving to be one of the most popular of the new in-colors. Each month I participate in a team swap where I receive about 16 different creative cards from 16 different team members. This month, I received a BUNCH of cards using Mint Macaron. Some of which I will share here, but first, lets look at how Mint Macaron compares to other Stampin' Up! colors.
I used the two-step flower from the retired Mother's Love stamp set to create this comparison. What colors would you pair with Mint Macaron to create a monochromatic card?
Here are a couple of cards that I created - the first one is from my team meeting in Kansas City - it matches the one from last week. The second one is a sympathy card I gave to my Aunt last week. My mom's brother passed away - he had cancer and was on hospice for only about 3 weeks. He was a great man and will be missed by many.
Another swap card using You've Got This stamp set. Unfortunately, my team mate only put her email address on the insert and I don't want to share that info so I am unable to give proper credit.
This swap card was created by Debra Heald. She used Gorgeous Grunge and Something To Say stamp sets. I LOVE that heart in the middle. Something to Say is a great sentiment set with a variety of uses. It pairs with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The Dotted Lace Trim is the specialty trim created just for the 2015-2017 In-Colors - you can get it in all 5 colors - Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, and Watermelon Wonder.
Love, love, love this card - it makes me hungry for mint chocolate chip and chocolate ice cream! Joy Barkofske created this swap card using Mint Macaron and Chocolate Chip with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set. The Sprinkles of Life stamp set is our Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set. This lovely stamp set has 22 stamps and coordinates perfectly with the Tree Builder punch.
This final swap was created by Julie Sperman using the Build a Birthday stamp set and Dotted Lace Trim in Mint Macaron.
I hope you enjoyed today's look at Mint Macaron and all the really amazing swaps I received. The new catalog has many more amazing NEW stamp sets - I am so looking forward to the next year!

Such beautiful creations to show off this new color, Wanda! I especially love the beautiful sympathy card you designed for your aunt. I am so sorry that your family has lost this great man.
ReplyDeleteWanda, you know I love it when you do these color comparisons. How lucky you are to be in a group of such equally talented stampers as yourself; really makes being a SU Demo so much more enjoyable with that kind of creative camaraderie! FYI, we're having a blog roll for current Blogging Creative Card Making Chicks Group participants over in the SCS thread. :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I wasn't too sure about this color but seeing these cards and samples, WOW! It's so serene and beautiful - well done on these beauties!
ReplyDeleteI love Mint Macaron! You've done a great job featuring it. The comparison is really helpful. Beautiful cards, of course.
