In Colors Galore for the June Pals’ Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is the New 2023-2025 In Colors. We hope you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I used the Fresh as a Daisy Suite Collection for my inspiration for this blog hop. I couldn’t decide which new In Colors to use, so I decided to use four of them. The Fresh as a Daisy DSP really does all the work for each of the cards. I wound up making cards for each of the three levels of stampers: beginner, casual, and avid. Without further delay, here are my three cards using four of the 2023 – 2025 In Colors.
My beginner card uses Wild Wheat:
HINT: I used the Baker’s Twine wrapped around the DSP three times and adhered the ends using a piece of tear & tape. Then, I added the bow by tying it around the baker’s twine. The best part of doing it this way was that I could slide the bow over to accommodate the sentiment panel.
I did add a tiny amount of Wink of Stella to the Pecan Pie colored part of the center of the flowers. I have to admit, this was my least favorite color in the group, but it looks fabulous with Early Espresso.
My casual card uses my new very favorite In Color combination, Boho Blue and Copper Clay:
I am going to have to get another pack of this DSP just to be able to have more of the paper using this color combination. You can see another card with this color combination here.
I thought this card would be a casual stamper card because of the heat embossing on the front and inside of the card. On the inside, I wanted something to go over the sentiments without covering them up at all. Enter clear embossing powder.
HINT: Make sure you use an embossing buddy on your cardstock before stamping using the VeraMark. You don’t want any oil from your fingers at all when using embossing powders.
HINT #2: You can’t tell it by looking at it now, but when I stamped the flower on the front using the VersaMark, I had a couple of spots where the ink didn’t transfer to the paper. Never fear, my VersaMark pen allowed me to color in the missing portions before adding the embossing powder. I got mine from Amazon, and you can find the link here. It’s a game changer.
My avid card uses Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat:
There are multiple layers of DSP, all of which comes from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP pack, stamped flowers and leaves, which are then cropped using the dies, baker’s twine and decorative dots on this card.
HINT: When I am dry-fitting my cards, especially those with multiple layers like this one, I find that my removable tape runner is a game changer. You only need about an inch of the tape to adhere the layers and it rubs off with your fingers. I get mine from Amazon, and you can find the link here.
HINT # 2: When using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, I use Post-It Note tape to keep my dies exactly where I want them. You can find these on Amazon here. I tried the thinner tape first, but found it didn’t hold as well. These pieces of tape are reusable, so keep them handy.
Back to the Pals’ Blog Hop:
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 12th, when our theme will be CASE the Catalog, when the design team chooses a card from the new Annual Catalog and recreates it with their own creative twist.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
