I think Summer may have finally arrived in Minnesota - at least, I'm banking on that.  And ice cream cones just naturally go with summer, right?!  I created this card soon after the 2011-13 In Colors were introduced - and now they are all included in the Stampin' Up! Collections except Lucky Limeade (sniff!).  Don't they look yummy together?!

And if you think these In Colors are yummy, take a look at the NEW In Colors - I will post cards using these colors in the near future!

Squares are IN(color)!

I'm on a roll with squares this week!  This card uses the 2011-13 IN Colors, a traditional square punch as well as a corner rounder . . .

The little flower motifs were hand-cut and the seam binding ribbon was folded in half and finger pressed.  I CASEd this from Mary Brown because I thought it was such a pretty way to showcase the IN Colors.  And I like making this size cards every so often just to get out of my A2 rut!  This card is the perfect size for your 12x12 paper, because it starts with a 6x6 square!  Hey, another SQUARE!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Fresh Vintage (retired), Three Little Words (retired)
Ink:  Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder
Paper:  Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White cardstock
Extras:  1.25" square punch, corner rounder punch, Pool party seam binding, Perfect Polka Dots textured embossing folder, pearls

KIDS . . . really DO graduate!

Before I knew it, my sons were graduating . . . 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 . . . and even college graduation in 2010!  There are more coming up, hopefully, and I love every moment of the celebrations.

I also work full time in a college, so I get to see 'my kids' there graduate on a regular basis.  Each year, I make up grad cards in school colors.  The Center-Step technique seemed just right for this year's card:

The scoring and cutting were done at 1" width increments.  The paper strips were cut in 3/4" widths.  And a little faux stitching framed up the focal point.

I ended up needing a few more cards real quick, so put this one together using my scraps:
