In Colors 2026-2028 - You Make Me Smile

Hello Stampers,

In the last week I have seen several cards just like the one I made & thought it was a sign to finally make this card that I thought about doing in the past.

I started with a layer of Basic White Cardstock & with a pencil I drew a wavy line before using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to follow the wave & emboss every 1/8". Then I used the Fragrant Layer Dies to punch out little flowers using the new In Colors - Golden Glow, Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue, & Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstocks. I used a retired stamp set to stamp onto the Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock with the Peaceful Pine Ink Pad then fussy cut them out. I used the Nature's Symphony Stamp Set for the sentiment stamping it also with Peaceful Pine Ink. Once I was done with this layer I attached it to a layer of Peaceful Pine Two Toned Cardstock, then to a Basic White Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.

Notes Of Spring - Happiest Birthday Wishes

Hello Stampers,

I was late in ordering this month's Product of the Month, as I was waiting to order during the pre-order timeframe. So I thought I would make a quick card with it.

I started the card with a Crumb Cake Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Lovely Blossoms DSP. For the strip, I had to go deep into my retired stash to find an embossing folder that I thought would go well with the card & chose the Basket Weave Embossing Folder with Basic White Cardstock. For the focal point, I used Basic White Cardstock. then stamped the bunny using Crumb Cake Ink, masked it using the Masking Paper then used a Small Blending Brush to add Old Olive Ink & the little grass stamp also with the ink but stamped off once. The focal point was then added to a layer of Crumb Cake Cardstock & popped up using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I also used a sentiment from the set & added it to the DSP layer using Crumb Cake Ink. Lastly, I used a few Pearls Of Beauty in Crumb Cake to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Here's To You!

Hello Stampers,

I'm still not done showing off Pretty In Pink I guess, but maybe I should give a little love to the other outgoing In Colors at some point. EEK! Today's card was inspired by a memory in FB land of a card I made 3 years ago, so I decided to make a similar card using what I called a Block Grid Technique,

I started with a square piece of Basic White Cardstock & selected the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set to stamp the outlined stamp with Melon Mambo Ink & the solid in Pretty In Pink Ink. Next, I started to cut the square apart using different sizes & directions, then used a Sponge Dauber with Pretty In Pink Ink to go around all the edges up to the stamp parts. Once I was done, I glued all the pieces down on a layer of Melon Mambo Cardstock, side by side like it would look if I hadn't cut it into lots of pieces. Next, I embossed a piece of Pretty In Pink Cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder & attaching it to a Basic White Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, stamping it with Melon Mambo Ink, punching it out using the 3 Banner Punch also using the Sponge Dauber to add some Pretty In Pink to all sides as I did with the focal image & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few retired Basic Pearls to finish off the card.

Flowers Fair - Happiest Birthday Wishes

Hello Stampers,

Today's card uses a card template from Jackie Bolhuis featuring one of my favorite colors that I have to say good-bye to once again, Pretty In Pink. 

I started by stamping the Flowers Fair Stamp with Smoky Slate Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then coloring it in using Pretty In Pink & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends before attaching it to a layer of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock & adding some Basics Twine Essential Pack in White. For the sentiment, I chose one from this month's Product Of The Month - Notes Of Spring Stamp Set, then stamped it onto the Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with Smoky Slate Ink. For the base, I used Basic White Cardstock, layered with a strip of 2024-26 In Colors 6x6 DSP in Pretty In Pink, then added the focal point to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card.
