Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - 2021 - 23 In Colors

  

Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for May, hosted by Sara Levin and for this month the design team will be showcasing our projects using the new In Colors for 2021 to 2023. It's always exciting when the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue comes out and to see the new In Colors is so much fun!

For my creations I've used three of the five In Colors and made three cards for the simple, casual and avid crafter.

Simple crafter

For this card I've used Fresh Freesia using Ink, Cardstock, DSP and Embellishment. Starting with the card base in Fresh Freesia, layered with a panel in gingham DSP from Pansy Petals 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.

The image of the butterfly is from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set which is one large stamp so you get multiples of butterflies all at once and die cut using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I've used the second largest circle and scalloped die which is from the Layering Circles Dies. I splattered Fresh Freesia Ink with the Stampin Blend onto the Basic White Cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, stamped onto a strip of Basic White Cardstock and I just had to add a single embellishment using the Loose Flower Flourishes in Fresh Freesia. 

Casual Crafter

I've used Polished Pink and Pale Papaya for the casual crafter stepping it up with blending these two colours together to create the butterfly using the Blending Brush onto Shimmery White Cardstock. I've layered the butterfly over another butterfly in Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum.

The panel of Basic White cardstock is a mix of the two colours splattered using the brush end of the Stampin' Blends and you flick against the lid. I lightly added Polished Pink Ink with the Blending Brush to the cardstock.

The In Colors have the most beautiful ribbons, they are so easy to use and are sheer. I've layered the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon and placed it down with Tear and Tape. 

The sentiment is also from the Art Gallery Stamp Set and die cut out with the Floral Gallery Dies. I've added three of the flower embellishments and lots of sparkle using Clear Wink of Stella.

Avid Crafter

The avid crafter is going all out when making their projects, I like to mix different stamp sets, dies etc....to my creation.

\I've mixed the three In Colors here using Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya with lots of different elements.

 

The main Ombre panel is created by using the Blending Brush and Pale Papaya Ink onto Basic White Cardstock starting from the bottom and working my way up. I added Pale Papaya splattered ink using the Stampin' Blends.

The new Tailor Made Tags Dies are so cute and it was on the top of my pre-order list. I thought it would be fun to add them to the card instead of just using them as tags. I cut the Fresh Freesia ribbon in half to foam two thin strips and looped it through the hole of the tags.

The additional of the Polished Pink flowers and Fresh Freesia foliage die cut elements are from the Floral Heart Dies and the butterfly die cut is in Pale Papaya.

The greeting is from Always In My Heart Stamp Set stamped in Versamark Ink, heat embossed using White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then die cut using the banner die from Floral Heart Dies.

More additions of the Loose Flower Flourish Embellishments this time in Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya. I just had to add more sparkle to the card with Clear Wink of Stella, it's hard to see with the photos but trust me it's there!
