Welcome to the Inky Friends Carnival of Colors Blog Hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who have gathered to share projects featuring many of the new colors (or returning colors) following Stampin' Up!'s recent Color Revamp and some of the 2018-2020 In Colors.  To see the line up of Stampin' Up! artists participating in the hop, click here.  If you are traveling forward through the hop, you've arrived from Tanya's blog where she featured projects using the 2018-2010 In Color Blueberry Bushel.  If you are traveling backwards through the hop, you just saw some great projects made by Shelley using the new color, Gorgeous Grape.  It really doesn't matter which way you travel through the blog hop, though; all the blogs are linked in a circle and eventually you'll visit all the stops by clicking on the NEXT or PREVIOUS buttons contained in every blog post.  I hope you enjoy your travels!

The color I'm featuring for the Blog Hop is Coastal Cabana.  Coastal Cabana began its life with Stampin' Up! as an In Color.  When it retired, there was a huge outcry from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and many of Stampin' Up!'s customers to bring this fun color back for inclusion into the permanent color lineup.  I'm so very glad that Stampin' Up! listened!

I have two projects to share with you.

One of the easiest ways to begin using a color that is new to you is to find a package of Designer Series Paper that contains that color.  The Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper contains some really lovely designs featuring great color combinations that include Coastal Cabana.  For this card I chose a simple color combination of Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, and Very Vanilla--with a few touches of Gold.  The punched shape and stamped image come from the Darling Label Punch Box.

Supplies I used to make this project -- 

Stamps:  Darling Label Punch Box; Inks:  Crushed Curry; Cardstock:  Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla; Designer Series Paper:  Tea Room Specialty; Embellishments:  Metallics Sequin Assortment, Gold Metallic Thread; Adhesives:  SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Fine Tip Glue Pen; Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Big Shot w/Magnetic Platform, Stitched Shapes Framelits

I think one of my favorite stamp sets in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is a Host set called Hand Delivered.  This fun stamp set lends itself to a whole host of possibilities.  For this card I went with a Birthday card using a color combination of Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, and Pear Pizzazz.  The balloons were paper pieced by stamping the balloon image on all the colors of cardstock, cutting out two balloons from each color, and adhering them over the stamped balloons.  The shirt and dress were colored with Classic Inks and a Blender Pen.  The legs and arms were colored with an Ivory Stampin' Blends Marker.

Supplies I used to make this project -- 

Stamps:  Hand Delivered (Host); Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie; Stampin' Blends:  Ivory; Cardstock:  Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White; Adhesives:  SNAIL, Multipurpose Liquid, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals; Tools:  Stampin' Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Blender Pens, Classic Label punch, Detailed Trio punch, Big Shot w/Multipurpose Platform, Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

I hope these projects have inspired you to get creative with Coastal Cabana.  For specific information about how each of these projects are made, please return in the near future.
