Over at SU Only Challenges, we are celebrating the kids!  So whether it is for the kids or for someone who is a kid at heart, we can’t wait to see what you make this week!  I have been busily making things with my NEW sets and today is the first reveal.

One of the first sets that called out to me from the new Stampin’ Up catalog was Patterned Party.  I am forever making birthday cards for the boys’ friends and this set has so much versatility!  I combined it with the new 2011-13 In Colors to make a fun card.  Calypso Coral, Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade were used to color the balloons and then I re-inked the Calypso Coral balloons to re-stamp them.  I cut those out and popped them up on Dimensionals.  Now to the ribbon.  I think you all know that I love a pretty ribbon.  Yep, pretty much can’t resist one.  This Ruffled Ribbon (available in the new In Colors) is even better that I anticipated!  It ties beautifully and adds so much dimension.  Adding more colors to my next order!!  The Creative Crew over at Splitcoaststampers is celebrating the new In Colors and stamps so I am posting this there too.

I hope you like this fun card!  I’ll be featuring a card tomorrow using one of the new hostess sets (and another new ribbon) so make sure you stop back by!  Don’t forget that you have about 2 weeks to participate in the SUO Challenge so all of you demonstrators going to Convention in Salt Lake City will still have time to play next week.  See you tomorrow!
