Stampin' Addicts Retiring Colors Blog Hop

You may have heard that Stampin' Up announced a color refresh this week.  We got together to create this Stampin' Addicts Retiring Colors Blog Hop in order to commemorate and say good-bye to some well-loved colors.  But before we jump into that, here is what the new color families will look like.

If you have been following the blog hop in order, you have just come from Yapha's blog featuring Pretty in Pink.  Yapha always has beautiful projects!  For my stop on this blog hop, I am highlighting the retiring color Bashful Blue.

You may have seen Friday's post with the cute rain boot and umbrella card.  I always grab for Bashful Blue for "sky" paper, and I always connect Bashful Blue and rain boots.  Guess I'll be retraining myself.

Stamps: Bootiful Occasions, Rain or Shine; Paper: Daffodil Delight, Bashful Blue, Naturals White, Whisper White, Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP; Ink: Bashful Blue, Cherry Cobbler; Accessories: Brights Collection buttons, White baker's twine, Clear EP, Blender pen, Craft knife, Dotted Scallop border punch, Cloudy Day EF, Circles #2 die, Big Shot, Dimensionals.

Here's a recent stamp club card.

Bashful Blue has always been my go-to winter blue.

Stamps: Up, Up & Away; Paper: Bashful Blue, Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Comfort Cafe DSP; Ink: Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Midnight Muse; Accessories: White baker's twine, Circle punches, Scallop Dotted Ribbon border punch, Sponge, Square Lattice EF, Big Shot, Dimensionals.

I've had a baby bootie shower favor in my mind for a while.  Bashful Blue always worked well for a baby boy.  With the color family collections of patterned paper, it is easy to pull together a coordinating baby shower invitation.

The baby bootie template is readily available on the internet, and the card uses Fab Friday layout #15.
