I hope you are enjoying this weeks monochromatic cards using the 2024-2026 In Colors. I’ve already shared cards using the Shy Shamrock, Pretty in Pink, and Summer Splash. Today I’ll be sharing with you a fun purple called Petunia Pop. I was excited to see a purple shade included with this years In Colors as we can always use another shade and this one is quite lovely I thought when I saw it.

To start with today I’m going to share a card using the fun patterns found in the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) and the So Sincere Stamp set (162283).

The rectangle shape is repeated in the sentiment using our Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) and gives the focal point a bit of texture too. A cute little flower that has been punched out using the Petal Park Builder Punch (160576) has some sponging around the outside petals and a cute little 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781) as the center in addition to scattered around the card front.

This next card uses the same little Petal Park Builder Punch (160576) as a cute little touch on this fun fold card to “hold: the corner down.

The fun little corner has been dry embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189). A bit of Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) has been tied around the banner that has been stamped using the Simply Said Mix & Match Stamp set (163756). Cute, right?

And if you need a card to just “check in” with a friend how about this next card using the Citrus Blooms Bundle (163295)?

Did you know this bundle is part of June’s Bundle Sale? You’ll want to be sure to check it out since it is part of a Suite, the Mediterranean Blooms Suite (163300) that is simply gorgeous!

And last but not least, a holiday card that just shimmers!

This card was created using the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (162158), 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771), and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781). The soft Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163785) adds some nice texture to the shimmering look.

So what do you think? Like this shade of purple? Why not leave me a comment and let me what you think?

Then don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be not only sharing some cards using Peach Pie but also my weekly tutorial with you!

Summer Splash

Are you longing for the clean clear water of your favorite summertime beach? The Summer Splash reminds me of those wonderful ocean views from my stays at Mini’s Haven on the Panama City Coast. I was immediately drawn to this color when I saw it and knew it would be one that I would reach for over and over again.

Today’s cards all use the Summer Splash to create monochromatic cards, this first one uses simple stamping. The card uses the Of Art & Texture (Online Exclusive 162687) and the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set (Online Exclusive 163600) to create a lovely congratulations card.

And how about this thank you card? Stamped using the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

The card uses our 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) and 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to add interest and of course the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781) that were used on both of these cards are a must have with their beautiful iridescent shine.

How about a simple card with a lot of texture?

This card uses the Unbounded Love Bundle (163384) which is part of our Bundle Sale and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (163483) to create some wonderful geometric texture as a back drop. The soft Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163786) add a bit more texture to the card.

Next I’ve got a super simple fun fold card for you. What makes it a fun fold is the simple scoring. This card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″ and it’s scored at the 2″ and 7 1/2″ marks rather than the traditional 5 1/2″.

It’s been decorated with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414) and Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220). The sentiment is from the Trust Tools Stamp Set (163274).

And the final card for the day uses the Wild Ferns Stamp set (162648)

Texture has been added to the background with a simple layered panel using the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) and then dry embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600). I love the die that has been used to wrap around the sentiment panel that was created with the Wild Ferns Dies (162654).

So what do you think? What does this color make you think of? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think of when you see it? Then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another of our wonderful 2024-2026 In Colors with you.

It’s a new week and I thought it would be a great time to share our NEW In Colors for 2024-2026. Have you seen them? These colors remind me of summer and are a fun addition to our core color collections. So each day this week I’ll be sharing some monochromatic cards with you highlighting one color per day.

Today it’s Shy Shamrock – the shades of summer with all those greens are now in place as the days grow longer and the temperatures rise. Shy Shamrock is a lovely shade of green, fresh, and clean and makes me things of those fields of grass and trees.

Today’s cards all use the NEW In Color Shy Shamrock to create lovely monochromatic cards.

This first card uses the color to create a lovely and using it’s name sake and creating a shamrock using the Adorning Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (162569)

The So Swirly Embossing Folder (163791) was used to create a background with lots of texture. A bit of ink has been brushed on using a Blending Brushes (153611 or 160518) and the Modern Oval Punch (Online Exclusive 162234) was used to pop up the sentiment found in the Something Fancy Stamp Set (160416).

These next two cards use our wonderful stack of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) that contains four fun patterns all which are highlight in these cards.

This first card uses the Spotlight on Nature Dies (163580) which are a great stand alone die set. The sentiment is from our NEW Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378) that is part of this months Bundle Sale and of course the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (163389) were used once again on this card for a small pop of color on the sentient.

This next card once again uses the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) along with the sentiment and the lovely detailed frame from the Unbounded Love Bundle (163384).

A bit of texture was added with Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) between the two strips of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777). If you haven’t seen this ribbon already, it’s a great choice and since it is white you can customize it with color too.

Our final card today is a simple holiday card.

The 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) has been used for the evergreen that has been die cut using the Merriest Trees Dies (162047). The background has been dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) which adds some lovely texture while the Shy Shamrock 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163787) grounds the evergreen and Iridescent Pearls (158987) were added as the ornaments. Simple and elegant my photo just doesn’t do this cards shimmer & shine justice.

Shy Shamrock is one of our five 2024-2026 In Colors. Did you know that our In Colors come in a money saving assortment pack? And In Colors are a great way to freshen up your color pallet since they are trendy and are right on trend.

Country Birdhouse

Posted on by

I always enjoy this time of year with the birds gathering their supplies to build their nests. From the Swallows that return each year that swoop up dirt and water from around the yard to the Bluebirds that use the houses on the field posts that my son built years ago. The flurry of activity is always fun to watch. So today’s cards remind me of that spring cycle.

The Country Birdhouse Bundle (163401) is part of the Country Woods Suite of Products (163418) of products and contains all kinds of fun options to craft with.

This first card uses simple stamping to create the backdrop for this little blue bird. While the Dies were used to cut out the bird to create depth and the lovely flowers add some wonderful texture.

This next card also uses the new In Color, Peach Pie to create a fun panel card using the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to add interest and shows off 2 of the paper’s patterns.

The House has been cut using the Purple Posy pattern from the pack and the bird has been colored using a third In Color, Summer Splash. You can also see the Shy Shamrock that has been used for the leaves. Making it 4 of the 5 New In Colors for 2024. Fun right? And of course the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (163389) add a pop of color and texture along with the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475).

This last card uses the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) and embellishment, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls (163416) from the Suite to create a birdhouse with lots of texture. The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) is wonderful with its wood images done in multiple varieties of wood and colors.

Loving the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579)? This set is filled with lovely images

and wonderful all occasion sentiments and I knew I’d enjoy creating with it as soon as I saw it and stamped with it at our OnStage After Hours event in Houston.

Today I’m sharing the 3rd card we did for our Make n Takes during that event.

This event was a lot of fun and was our first chance to play with the new 2024 In Colors. This card uses a fun way to add texture to your project, water color!

Can you see it? Beneath the stamped panel there is a layer that has been given a simple wash of Pecan Pie. So simple but makes a big impact. Check out my video and pdf tutorial and try it yourself!

As always I’ve included a full supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions. The PDF even has the video link so everything is handy and in one place for you when you’re ready to create.

Another OnStage After Hours Spotlight on Nature Card & More

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share another fun project that we got to do during the After Hours event in Houston for one of our Make n Takes.

This card uses a fun water color technique using our NEW color Basic Beige. Stamping the image using the Basic Beige allows the water coloring to look almost line free but still gives subtle detail. A pretty fun process I thought.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can make one too.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage After Hours Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses a favorite from the 2024 Annual Catalog, the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

This set has some lovely images and all occasions sentiments and a versatile set of dies that coordinate with it.

We made this card during our After Hours event in Houston and Stampin’ Up! gave us a sketch that I’ve changed up a little bit and made my own for my Sketch Tool Ring I shared with you earlier. Make sure to scroll down since I’ll share it with you today too.

This will be the first of the 3 cards we made during the After Hours Event. But today here is the card we made using 2 of our NEW In Colors Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. While they might look similar when apart, you can definitely tell the difference when layered together. I fell in love with the Summer Splash as soon as I saw it and wasn’t real sure about the Shy Shamrock, but am finding I really like using it in my stamping too.

Here is a quick video on how I put this make n take together for you along with the PDF with the supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions.

And of course here is my Card Sketch #27

And here is the PDF so you can make one too as a design tool too.

Did you know my Card Sketches use different color combinations that can inspire you when you are stamping projects? Create them and add the colors to the back if you’d like and you’ll have color combinations and color swatches too of our card stock to create with!

On a personal note:

You may have noticed I didn’t post every day this week. I had some unexpected appointments that took a lot of time, so I wasn’t able to share like I wanted to. I’ll be having a procedure done next week, and may not be sharing quite as much as I normally do, but I have some things set up that I think you’ll enjoy.

Of course, I’m happy to help and I will be available, but might not be able to respond as quickly as normal.

Enjoy!
