Monochromatic InstaHop - Hydrangea Hue

Hello Stampers,

It's been a long time since I've joined in on a Crafty Collaborations hop, but today I'm participating in a Monochromatic Insta Hop for Hydrangea Hue, *fingers crossed* that I've done everything correctly. EEK! to see all the projects head to my FB or Instagram page for the links.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock layer that was embossed using the Paradise Garden 3D Embossing Folder. For the rectangles, I used the Blossom Boutique DSP. I used the Scalloped Blooms Bundle for the sentiment with Hydrangea Hue Ink & die-cut it out using the dies. Lastly, I added a few 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (Hydrangea Hue) to finish the card.

Balloon Festoon - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,
For today's card, I played around with the Balloon Festoon bundle & the new In Colors. Do you have a favorite yet? I'm leaning hard on the Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush.

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock layer, then used Blending Brushes with Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush & Hydrangea Hue Inks to add color to where the balloons would be placed. Then used those same colors in cardstock to die-cut the balloons from the Balloon Festoon Dies & then added the stars using matching inks, along with die-cutting the strings from Basic White Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used one from the Balloon Festoon Stamp Set stamping with the retired Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Once I had this layer done, I added it to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Silly Safari - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,
Last week was a bit hectic for me & I didn't really get spend any time in my craft room, which was probably for the best since my brain just didn't seem to want to cooperate the one time I tried. Today's card uses a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches & I thought I'd give some ink time to a bundle that I think I've only used a couple of times.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock layer where I used a leaf stamp from the Silly Safari Bundle with Garden Green Ink to stamp all over it. I took a strip of Basic White Cardstock & used a sentiment from the retired December product of the month Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set with Garden Green Ink, adding the same leaf stamp to both edges & then added a small strip of Garden Green Cardstock to the bottom of the strip before adhering it to the background & a Garden Green Cardstock base. Next, I stamped 3 of the animals on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then used Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Petal Pink & Medium Light Stampin' Blends to color in 2 of the animals before using the 
1-7/8" Circle Punch to make them into circles. I then used the 2" Circle Punch to cut out 3 circles from a Garden Green Cardstock strip. I glued 2 of the animals directly to the background then added Stampin' Dimensionals to the monkey circle.

Fractured Cards With The New In Colors

Hello Stampers,
I've been waiting to make a group of cards with the new In Colors & I saw a video from Maryann's Scrapdesk showing fractured cards. I've made this type of card before but not the straight layout.

I started all the cards off with a Basic White Cardstock base, with an additional layer of Basic White Cardstock that was cut down in order to allow the additional layers to show through. Instead of using a full layer of the Bloom Boutique DSP, I cut it down to 2". I also made strips from Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush Cardstocks. For the sentiments, I used the Sending Salutations & the Phrases & Frames Stamp Sets with Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush Inks. Lastly, I added a few 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies matching the color with the one I used on each card.
