I asked on my Facebook Fan page what color collection from Stampin' Up! my fans would like to see I think Regals was the one that surprised me the most, but I used it for today's Create A Cupcake card.  The reason that I was surprised is because I am a seasonal stamper.  I use whatever "season" of colors we are in, with the exception of the brights collection, they are my favorites and I use them pretty much everyday.  It was HARD for me to make this card with the Regals.  I kept thinking of where to put things and bright colors kept popping in my head and I had to keep telling myself, "Regals, regals, regals".  But I persevered!  I dusted off my regals that have not had luvin' since winter (which only lasted about three days here) and away I went.

I am a sucker for any stamp set that has a coordinating punch.  It is like my computer opens and orders it online for me on it's own, it knows it is coming.  Wow, now that I think about it, that would be pretty cool.  Moving on…  So of course I have to have Stampin' Up!'s Create a Cupcake stamp set and the Cupcake Builder Punch.  It is a must have in my book.

Stampin' Up! Supplies Used to create this card:

Stampin' Up! Stamps:  Create a Cupcake, Perfectly Penned

Stampin' Up! Ink:  Night of Navy, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler

Stampin' Up! Cardstock: Night of Navy, More Mustard, Whisper White

Want to know something really odd…  Night of Navy was the first ink pad I ever bought.  I also got the cardstock and the marker in my first order and I used it on EVERYTHING!  And that was 13 years ago.  Odd that I only use it in the fall now…  must ponder that…

While I am pondering, let me know what you think of Stampin' Up!'s Create A Cupcake stamp set!
