I have to admit when Mint Macaron was first introduced in June as a new In-Color, I wasn’t all that excited. I prefer bold & brights colors and this seemed to be not quite a pastel and certainly not a bold.
Today, I needed to make some thank you cards for an upcoming fair and started to play around with color combinations. I fell in love! Mint Macaron, Night of Navy and Whisper White make a standout combination – nice and bold without being too bright.
These two cards are both crisp designs (that I tweaked from Pinterest posts) which made it nice for making multiples.
Don’t you just love the butterflies! This was my first time using both the Fluttering textured impressions folder and the Watercolor Wings stamp set. I know it’s not quite butterfly season – but these butterflies are sure to be go-to products. Just think of all the butterfly color combinations you can make!!
This angle really illustrates the embossing on this card. I used the Large Polka Dot textured impressions folder twice – one time a regular go through with the Big Shot and a second time with moving the paper slightly to get the second impression on the diagonal. I love the effect it makes. In case you are wondering which stamp set I used, it’s the Tin of Cards stamp set. There are tons of great phrases in this set (and you don’t have to use it with the Tin of Cards kit).
