Bermuda Bay Bling Birthday & the NEW In-Colors!

For almost a year I have sat on the sidelines not purchasing or using the Core'dinations Card stock. I finally took the plunge and ordered a pack of the Brights Core'dination Card stock when it was featured in the Stampin' UP! Weekly Deals last month. Well last week with the retired list we learned all the Core'dinations Card stock is being retired. So I thought I better get using this great card stock.

I used the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (from the Holiday Catalog and carried over to the NEW Annual Catalog!!) with the Bermuda Bay Core'dinations card stock. Then I lightly sanded it for the distressed look.

I cut a piece of Whisper White and Silver Vellum DSP 2" x 3 1/2 " and then used the Tag Toppper punch to create my tag.

The decorative starbursts come from the Starburst Sayings stamp set and using the coordinating framelits cut them out for these cute ornaments hanging off the tag. The Silver 1/8" ribbon finish the tag topper perfectly.

A quick sentiment from the Four You stamp set, a little Dazzling Diamonds to dot the "i"'s and we are ready to celebrate this Bermuda Bay birthday in style!

This was a crazy week at work and it kept me away from my craft table as well as my computer. I have been busy today making cards for this week's blog posts. So many exciting things happening with Stampin' Up! and I need to get them to you! Let's not delay...
