Introducing Mint Macaron

 Mint Macaron--not macaroon, macaron! (You can click the words to see the difference.)

It's a minty green--fresh and spring-like, also great as a neutral background! Those of you still missing Sage Shadow will be thrilled with the introduction of Mint Macaron. You must promise to pronounce it correctly, though. {wink}

I used my fallback, the beautiful Butterflies Thinlits, to make this delicate card. The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets in the catalog--Sprinkles of Life! It's the Ronald McDonald House set this year, so for every set I sell, Stampin Up will donate $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities! Win, win, non? (See how I stuck a little more French in there, so the macaron wouldn't feel lonely?) There is a coordinating punch, but we'll get to that later. Today we celebrate Mint Macaron!

The Designer Series Paper you see on the layered butterfly is from the new Envelope Paper: In Color 2015 set. It's a fun, thinner DSP that makes fabulous envelopes, as well as gorgeous butterflies.

What's your angle?

This card (CASED from Stampin' Up!) was our quick-and-easy card at Club in September. No layers--just simple stamping, but it still has a great feel to it. We used the triangle stamp from the photopolymer set Dotty Angles at an angle (of course!) across the top, then stamped it again to move the pattern lower on the card. The sentiment is from Fabulous Four, one of my favorite sets from the main catalog. We colored rhinestones with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilites, tied on some Coastal Cabana thick baker's twine, and the card was done! The fact that it was done in Boise State colors may or may not be coincidental.
