Today is the Control Freaks 'Splash of Color' blog hop! Color is one of the top reasons I love Stampin' Up! so this month's theme is the bomb!
You may have arrived from Cindy's blog but keep on clicking on the icons at the bottom of each post to see everything; you won't want to miss a thing!
I'm going to start out with one of my top favorite cards in the last month or so. We made this colorful card at my March card clubs using the Birthday Wit stamp set. I'm so sad it's retiring! I love so many of the quirky sentiments here; some so perfect for stamping!
I chose to use Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist with Black and White. Turquoise is one of the colors Stampin' Up! is retiring this year. I will sure miss it!
The inside is an explosion fold using printing paper. You could add some glitter or confetti for a real surprise! To see how to create this stop back in tomorrow for my video.
We stamped the front greeting in Black ink on the White CS. I had pre-stamped this same image in Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist ahead of time so they just fussy cut some of the words out and popped them up on their card front.
The fun layout was created with a few scraps of Melon and Lime CS I had; what a super easy way to make a color blocking card!! Just add it to the main card and top it with your greeting layers. Love this!

Next up is another of my recent favorites using the amazing Brusho Colour Crystals. Talk about color!
This card is created using a salad spinner! Yes; that's right - a kitchen tool. This greeting is from the 'All Things Thanks' stamp set.
Step by step Spin Art technique:
- Adhere your thick White or Shimmer White card stock to the inside bottom of your salad spinner. I used mini glue dots. It must stay in place very well!
- Spritz the CS with water, heavily! It must be completely wet, shiny and dripping with no dry areas.
- Immediately sprinkle two or three good shakes of two colors in the center of the wet CS. If it isn't wet enough spritz more water on.
- Immediately cover and spin.
- Admire your spin art!
Thanks for stopping in! Now you're off to see what Debbie has to share. Don't miss it!
This is so cool! Who would have ever thought. Now I have to go and find a cheapo salad spinner......
