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.

Artisan Sketched Garden - Happiest Of Birthdays

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by this week's sketch at Sunday Stamps. I thought this sketch would look good with a black & white theme.

I chose to use Basic Black Cardstock for the base & the layers behind the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, along with the sentiment. I used the retired Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder to add a bit of texture to the Basic White Cardstock layer. For the sentiment, I used the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set, stamping it with Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Neutral Matte Dots in Basic Black to finish the card.

Scalloped Blooms - Thank You

Hello Stampers,
I hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend, we had a quite weekend at home. Today's card was inspired by a sketch I found on Pinterest that didn't have any info on who made it, but I to make a go of it.

I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base, along with a scrap piece that was die-cut using the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I tried to remember when the last time I used Very Vanilla & it escapes me so I'm guessing it has been quite a while. Next, I cut up some Brushed With Beauty DSP to layer on top of a Darling Duckling Cardstock layer, then added a few 2025-27- In Color Flat Pearls in Darling Duckling to the center. I used the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment onto the die-cut using Darling Ducking Ink, then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up on the finished card.

Fragrant Layers - Just A Note

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketches #737 challenge. Barely Blush is fast becoming one of my top two favorite new In Colors.

I started this card with a piece of Basic White Cardstock, stamping the florals from Fragrant Layers Stamp Set onto it using Memento Black Ink, then coloring it in using Barely Blush, Lemon Lolly & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, & layering it with Lemon Lolly Cardstock for a nice pastel look. I used the Paradise Garden 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a layer of Barely Brush Cardstock & layered it onto a Soft Sea Foam Cardstock base. The sentiment also came from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set which I stamped onto Lemon Lolly Cardstock with Memento Black Ink, punched it out using the 3 Banners Punch cutting off the one end to make it flush with the embossed layer. Lastly, I added a few 2026-28 In Color Butterflies in Barely Blush to finish the card.
