The New In Color Collection

 These are the first cards I made with the new 2021-23 In Color Collection.  All of these colors are gorgeous in real life - and they work so well togehter.  These cards show you how well the card stock, ink, ribbon, and embellishements all match perfectly!

For all of  these cards, I started with a Basic White thick card base, then added a layer of  In Color card stock.  I cut a piece of Basic White card stock using the largest scallop rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The stamped images are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  I added ribbon and jewels to each card.

For this card I embossed the Polished Pink card stock layer using the Ornate Floral 3D embossing foler.  

I did not use an embossing folder on the card on the left (Pale Papaya.)  For the card on the right (Fresh Freesia) I used the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

  

Finally, for the dark green (Evening Evergreen) card, I used the Evergreem Forest 3D embossing folder.  The greetings on these two cards are from a new stamp set called, Inspired Thoughts. The new light green color is called Soft Succulent.

I have made several more sets of cards using products from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog - and I have an order in for even MORE new products.  So be sure to check back, or sign up to be notified when I post to my blog.

Fun Fold Birthday Card

This is a fun fold card that I made for two friends who had birthdays in June.  I copied the idea from a card that I received from my sister - I will show that card at the end of this blog post.

I have seen similar cards on Pinterest - and even though it may look difficult - this card is actually quite easy to put together.  I used that adorable paper from the last mini catalog which is sadly no longer availabe to purchase.  I hope my friends didn't think it was too childish - I like bright and cheery birthday cards, and we are all young at heart. 

This card would work with any coordinating papers and could be used for any occasion.  The "Happy Birthday" greeting is from the Seaside Notions stamp set - which I will be featuring in my August ZOOM class.  Details about that class will be posted soon!  This will be a BONUS card you will make it that class, with a minimum purchase.

In the photo above - you can see how this card opens and below is a photo of the card fully opened.  It is a regular sized card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and fits into a Stampin' Up! medium sized envelope. Do you see that I used the scalloped edge die from Stitched Be Mine dies to create the bottom border on the white piece?   I stamp two retired greetings for the inside.

Measurements for making this card (inches):
Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 & 8 1/4
Designer Series Paper: 1 5/8 x 5
Coordinating card stock: 1 7/8 x 5 1/4
White for inside of card: 4 x 5 1/4

Tailored Tag punch was used to punch the label for "Happy Birthday" greeting
1/2 strip of Designer Series paper was placed behind the label  (I punched the edges on that strip using the Tailored Tag punch.  Can you figure out how I did it?!)

Below are some of the products I used to make the cards.  Click on any image for more information or to add it to your shopping bag in my online store.



And here is the card that Donna sent me - for no particular reason except to brighten my day.  Which it did!

Thoughtful Blooms - video tutorial

These cards were made using the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set - a 2020 Sale-a-Bration stamp set that you can get for FREE with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase.  The colors I used to make the cards are the 2018-2020 In Colors.  These colors will retire from the Stampin' Up! collection when the new catalog comes out in June.  The In Color products sometimes sell out - so I always remind my stampers to order early - if you want to stock up on these products.

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to make these cards.  If you watch until the end - you will see different versions of the card, as well as the other cards we made at my stamp classes in February.

Below are some of the cards that I made.  Can you spot differences in colors, embellishments, ribbon, and greetings that I used to make the cards.

Measurements for this card:

Thick Whisper White card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2; scored in half at 4 1/4)
Patterned Paper: 4 x 5 1/4
Card stock mat is cut using the largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
Whisper White piece for stamping: 3 3/4 x 2 9/16

I didn't have enough Call Me Clover patterned paper to cover the entire card - so I just used a half sheet cut down to 3 x 4 1/4.  I folded 1/4 inch of the dsp down - to give some added interest.  I wasn't sure that I would like an all green card - but when I saw the "Have a Lucky Day" stamp in the Itty Bitty Greetings set, I thought it would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Below are some of the products I used to make these cards.  Click on any image to add it to your shopping cart.  You can not purchase the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set; you can only get it for FREE with a $50 purchase.
