Lovely! Your cards are amazing. I love both pastel and bright but I normally use more bright colors :)
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH! Both the cards are just to stinkin cute. I love bold and pastels. It depends what mood I'm in.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I also like both...too hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love all the textures and the polka dots. So fun! I like bold and bright colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Julie!! I personally prefer pastel colors, but once in a while I do bright colors :)
ReplyDeleteI love these dies!
ReplyDeleteI love how you kept with a theme with these cards and incorporated a sun into each one!! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteVery Cute! The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be the little disobedient one who says, "I love neutrals with a bold and bright pop of colour". Great job on the cards...
ReplyDeleteI love all of the texture on your cards! I like both brights and pastels, but I usually reach for brights!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is just beautiful.. I love the textured background.. :) so pretty.. off to the next blog on the hop for more inspiration.. :) HUGS
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards!!! tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great. I personally like bold and bright color.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects, Julie! The colours and textures are fabulous. As for my personal preference, I love bright and bold!
ReplyDeleteI prefer BOLD AND BRIGHT, no doubt!!! Your samples are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on my mood, but usually I like pastels...
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet cards, Julie! LOVIN' all of the polka dots, your color combos, and the happy sentiments!!!
ReplyDeleteLuverly cards Julie! Well, I'm sure you could answer this question on my behalf, definitely brights for me!!!
ReplyDeleteMy choice is pastels. Your card with the super cute polka-dots is a true winner. Great use of color & patterns. Just love it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely more of a neutrals girl, but if I had to pick I'd go with pastels!
ReplyDeleteLove the cards!!
Bold & Bright more than pastel! I love your cards ... so many different ways to use those lovely dies! ;o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I love the diversity. I like seeing bold and bright when others design, so I guess I prefer pastels myself.
ReplyDeletelove your cards and the texture that each one projects...lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteMore bold and bright, but in love what others can do with pastels; when I am purchasing, I just am not drawn to pastels.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots and the glittery rainbow!
A bold and bright girl fo' sho'!
ReplyDeletethanks for all the help and being an awesome DT coordinator... and your cards are darling too!
Beautiful cards, Julie! I prefer bold colors, but just a little touch!
ReplyDeleteI love these, Julie! I would say I'm more of a brights girl ;D
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE the clouds, the whimsey really comes out!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Julie - really show how great these stamps and dies are. As for me, I'm a bold and bright kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteCheerful cards Julie and love the texture too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a bold and brights kinda gal :)

ReplyDeletes always amazing to see how different colours and textures can change the look of a card so much. Love the die cuts and the close-up of your textured pieces.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, I think I usually gravitate towards pastels!
I'm loving the pretty clouds and rainbows. I think both pastels and bright colors are great! However, I was drawn to the pastels in this post
ReplyDeleteSweet cards, Julie! I think the second is my favourite, so I guess that means I'm leaning to the brights! Certainly true with my clothes; with cards, it depends on the images, mood, and recipient. :)
ReplyDeleteSUPER cards--you have been so crafty! I love the second one--great colors:) But then again--I LOVE them all:)
ReplyDeleteCute cards Julie! Love the fun die cuts!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Julie! Can't wait to use the dies! As for colors--I like earth tones so I guess that would be pastels?
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards this die set really is versatile just looking at your cards. In answer to your question- I like bold &bright
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. I especially love the sparkly rainbow. As for colours....well I'm not a huge fan of either pastels or brights but I find it easier to work with pastels.
ReplyDeletelove the polka dots and the different pattern papers!
ReplyDeletePerfect for SO many occasions when you want to cheer someone up!
ReplyDeleteSo, in answer to your question...as meek and as shy as I can be (teehee) I definitely prefer BOLD and BRIGHT on my cards! The more pattern and colors, the BETTER! This stamp and die set is amazingly cool - so many different ways to use it! Thank you for sharing!

Super cute cards, Julie!! Love the fun colors & texture!!
ReplyDeleteDarling cards! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Hard question--I think I prefer pastels a little over bold and bright.
ReplyDeleteGiven a choice, I'm bold and bright all the way. Especially when it comes to rainbows!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards, Julie!!! I really *want* that die and stamp set. Hmph!!! LOL Gotta start selling some of older crap first. I mean, umm, STUFF! ;)
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards...like the embossing in the clouds
ReplyDeleteI love them both, but in this case I think the pastels win. It's so common to see a rainbow in bright colors that the pastels are a refreshing change. I also love the glitz of the third card…so eye catching!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards! All three are fabulous but the first one has to be my favorite! I love all the embossing!!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards. Bold and Brights for me, please!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun way to use these fabulous goodies! LOVE that sparkly rainbow!
ReplyDeleteYour polka dots are gorgeous and also those sparkley rainbows are awesome. You done a same work with the bright and contrast colors only.
ReplyDeleteI just searched this blog from bing search engine and enjoyed lot in my first visit. Really awesome work you shared with us. The best thing is your colour selection which is perfect with each other.
