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.

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.

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.

Dandelion Wishes (151345) has been used for this next card along with our In Color Designer Series Paper, Twill Ribbon, and fun Enamel Dots.

The lovely Tasteful Touches Bundle was used to create this wonderful card using Very Vanilla (101650) and Vellum Card stock (101856).

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).

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?

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!

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.

It’s a Timeless Tropical kind of day

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

It’s hot and humid in North Georgia today which makes it the type of day you want to sit back and sit a cold drink in the shade. That is until the afternoon storms arrive. lol So today I thought I’d share some cards with a tropical vibe. Check out the set it is filled with wonderful images and uses a beautifully fluid font for the sentiments too.

The cards I’ll be sharing with you today were all created with the Timeless Tropical stamp set (151497) and their coordinating dies, In the Tropics (151495). This first one looks like a pretty picture. The frame was created with our Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820) and sponging was used to create the lovely sunset. A circle Mask was used it’s a simple technique – all you have to do is cut out of a circle from a sticky note, put in place and then sponge around it as desired. Striking right?

And how about this next card? It uses a simple torn edge technique to create texture and interest.

More texture was added with the Subtle (151775) and Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folders (150646) along with a bit of sponging too.

And finally, this last card today is a fun fold card

When you open it you’ll get a wonderful surprise. Once again the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder was used to create interest on the inside along with some sponging to highlight the pattern.

So what do you think? Feeling a tropical vibe too? Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards using this fun set that is great for all kinds of occasions and scrap booking too!

Seaside Notions

Posted on June 26, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

Summer started last weekend and while I should have been packing for the incentive trip this week, Covid has put the breaks on that, so I’m making the best of it here in Clarkesville instead. Our pool liner has been replaced and almost refilled now so I’m looking forward to some time in the sun with the family. That is after the dust cloud passes lol. It’s been a crazy year so far wouldn’t you say. But I know I can always relax by stamping and sending a little sunshine, and that’s what these cards do. They make me smile and think of a tropical vacation.

This first card created by my team member Wanda, uses a fun technique with saran wrap to create the inked area of the frame. Plastic wrap is wadded into a ball and then used like a sponge with the Seaside Spray, Mint Macaron, Balmy Blue and Pool Party Classic Inks. The Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder (151590) adds a bit more texture to the frame created with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820).

The images are colored with our Soft Sea Foam (154902) and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (154882) and the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends (154878) were used to color the Rhinestones (144220) which is quick and easy to do. Striking right?

And how about this sweet little sand dollar? Done in Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Bermuda Bay.

The circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies (152323) were used to create the frame around the sand dollar and some sponging was added both above the sand dollar and on the NEW Old World Paper 3D embossing Folder (153200). One of our Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (151193) was used to pull your eye to the sand dollar’s center. I’m so glad that these Rhinestones are in the Annual Catalog they add a special little pop to any card.

So which is your favorite? I have to say I’m partial to Sea horses they have always fascinated me with the way they move, but I just can’t decide. How about you?

Basket of Blooms

Posted on June 25, 2020 by Stamp with Jini

I love flowers during the summer. It brings me back to my childhood and walking through my Aunt Adeline’s yard which had what seemed like acres of flower beds and my Grandma’s front flower bed. Both of them loved flowers and their flower beds were so carefully manicured. While toiling in flower beds isn’t my cup of tea, I do enjoy the pop of color they bring to my yard and since it also brings the hummingbirds I always try and put some baskets and pots around my patio and porches. A more limited approach I know, but a much better for my allergies since although my mother tried for years I just don’t have a green thumb, that was passed on to my son.

So today’s cards reminds me of those wonderful ladies who have been gone along time now but are never far from my thoughts when I enjoy a wonderful splash of color from a flower bed.

This first card uses our new In Colors Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Bumblebee found in the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (152486).

And this next one teams up the In Color Designer Series Paper (153070) with Gorgeous Grape flowers. It uses the simple paper piecing technique. Do do this you’ll simply stamp the image onto your Designer Series Paper, this time they used the wood pattern from the In Color stack and fussy cut with your paper snips. So simple, but a great technique to use on your projects.

Isn’t it fun the way the flowers on the card front give a border that highlights the pattern on the inside of the card?

This next card uses the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder (152718) to add a bit of texture.

The flowers were colored in with out new 2020-2022 In Color Stampin’ Blends. Who doesn’t love the addition of these new colors to our Stampin’ Blends option?

And finally some soft subtle cards. Done in Highland Heather and Petal Pink this first card also uses the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder to add some texture along with the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (153658)

And this final card uses a combination of Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, and Sahara Sand

The Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (150446) add a special touch with it’s sparkle.

I can’t pick a favorite can you?

Stamp Set: Basket of Blooms (153305)
