Same Colors, Same Stamps, Different Card! (CCMC239 & FabFriday12)

Hello, again! Something I've been trying to do more often is showcase how you can use the same products -- stamps, DSP, color combinations, etc. -- and create various different projects with them. So, after yesterday's masculine birthday card, I've created a more feminine card with some of the same products. Check it out:


Once again, I've used the color combination from FabFriday12 -- Baja Breeze, Wild Wasabi, and their third color, Perfect Plum (which I left out on the masculine card because, really, Plum isn't a terribly masculine color). I've also used the Curly Cute stamp set for the phrase, which I also used to stamp "Happy Birthday" on yesterday's card. This just goes to show that the same colors and the same stamps can be used in SO many different ways!

This card got its layout inspiration from the Create with Connie & Mary challenge this week: CCMC239. I always love their sketches! This time, I took their layout and turned it sideways, to better fit the "Thinking of You" sentiment. The Circle Circus stamp set gave me the rest of the inspiration I needed (with an added nudge from Julie Wadlinger, who suggested the adorable (!) scalloped border under the greeting). In the end, all of these fantastic elements combined to give me one adorable all-occasion card!

Here's the CCMC sketch to get your creative juices flowing, too!



And, again, the FabFriday color palette: 



What are some of your favorite ways to re-purpose and re-imagine Stampin' Up!'s stamps & colors?
