Fresh color combinations can be so inspiring! This week, the Pals Paper Arts Design Team challenges you to combine Riding Hood Red, Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery (PPA79). I'm really impressed with how well these colors enjoyed getting together for today's Sweet Summer card.
Be sure to check out challenge inspiration samples created by the PPA Design Team and Ashley Cannon Newell, our Celebrity Guest Stamper this week! PLAY ALONG!
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
It's the little things. A Basic Rhinestone Jewel on the button and a Rich Razzleberry dotted border are details that go a long way. - I used my Paper Snips to clip out the flowers and popped them up on a Stampin' Dimensional for a 3-D effect.
- IT'S HOT!! Earn a free stamp set for every $50 you spend on Stampin' Up! products during Sale-A-Bration. Sweet Summer is one of the many options available. Get the details and download the catalog.

This is so darn cute with the little bird standing next to the flower … my favorite part of this bright and cheery card!
This is just divine, Mary! I love your take on those colors. Perfect! XOXO
I love that we both used the same stamp set for our PPA challenges this week! I think that hostess set is so cute and versatile, even without the matching punch!
This card is so sweet. I look at the little bird looking at the flower and think spring is coming!
Absolutely beautiful!! Love everything about it!
Crisp, clean and what a fun color combo. TFS
Love how you blended the colors from the color challenge – never would have picked them on my own but you did a fabulous job. Your sense of style is a source of inspiration.
Never would I have thought to use these colors. That is why I love your site. I am always inspired.
Beautifully done! Love the simple line drawings in color on the WW background. It’s so crisp and clean.

How do you do it? I saw today’s design and glanced out the window and – viola – the snow was gone!
Wonderful use of color and your usual exquisite flair for placement!
Good morning, Mary: Ahhhh!!!!! Sweet Summer dreams….. After yesterday’s blizzard that left more than 2′ of snow and bitterly cold temperatures, this card and the awesome colors gets me all warm inside.
Thank you for reminding me that Summer will be here soon.
From Crown Point, IN. to warm Arizona,
XOXO
Maria.
