Spot Light on the yummy Cinnamon Cider

Cinnamon Cider is a warm rich color and it is number four of the five 2020-2021 In Colors that I’ve been highlight this week. I love the surprise of the In Color Collections when they are announced each year and they make great additions to our color families since they are right on trend. I’m not sure why I’m always surprised when I find them in the stores while shopping for home products and clothing. My daughter always rolls her eyes when I identify the color by name. Is that what you do when you see something displayed in the stores think of it by the Stampin’ Up! color name? Anyhow…Want to see some cards?

I’ll start with a couple of cards that have been made using our World of Good Suite of Products found on page 24 of the 2020 Annual Catalog. This is a very popular suite perfect for stamping and even scrap booking since it covers all kind of events with it’s sentiments and images. And while we aren’t traveling a great deal right now, this Suite gives us a great way to catch up on past travels with the World of Good Memories and More Card Pack.

Cinnamon Cider Beautiful World

These monochromatic cards are done in Cinnamon Cider and Basic Black. They also use our World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (152491) and Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (153200) found in the Suite of products.

How about this card using the Birds & Branches Bundle (154107)? The Bundle was used to create this next card along with the lovely wood grain from the In Good Taste Designer Series paper (152494).

Way to Goat Card Class

Spot Light on Just Jade

It’s a week of color – 2020-2022 In Colors that is, and today I’m highlighting the color Just. Each year Stampin’ Up! gives us 5 new In Colors that are right on trend. You’ll see these colors every where while you are out and about. I think this years 5 colors are one of my favorite groupings of colors. They are wonderful used together or by themselves like today’s cards. So why not join me over the next 4 days for a look at our new colors?

The new In Color Just Jade is soft and rich and has the feel of a jade stone. Did you know that jade symbolizes purity to some and harmony and balance to others? This green definitely gives me a feeling of calm when I work with it.

Today’s cards are all monochromatic and highlight this lovely shade of green. This first card uses our popular Tasteful Touches stamp set (152562) and the coordinating Tasteful Labels Dies (152886) that are available in a money saving Bundle (154098).

And this next card uses our Lovely You stamp set (152525) and it’s coordinating Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883). Also available in a money saving Bundle (154070).

Just Jade Lovely You

The card also uses the lovely Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder (152718) to add a bit of texture to this project and the next one too. Can you see it?

just Jade Fancy Phrases

And how about some flowers? The Fancy Phrases Stamp set (152530) creates some interested for this card and highlights the flower images in two different ways.

One of my favorite things about the In Color Collections are the accessories that coordinate with the colors. Stampin’ Up! gives us a wonderful feeling 1/4″ Ribbon (153621) and fun Enamel Dots (152480) in the colors along with a stack of Designer Series Paper (153070) too! Color coordination is one of the best parts of using Stampin’ Up! products!

This final card uses the Label Me Fancy Punch (151297) to highlight the sentiment from the A Little Lace stamp set (149364).

Just Jade A Little Lace

The greenery is from our Christmas Layers Dies (150654) and it’s been layered on our coordinating Designer Series Paper and wrapped up with the yummy 1/4″ ribbon. Like I mentioned earlier, Stampin’ Up! products coordinate so well with each other – you can use the all year round. This gives us a new way to use this Christmas Die set, right?
