It is fun to use all five new 2026-2028 In Colors on a single card and today’s blog post does just that!

Using strips and an embossing folder creates a card with tons of dimension and great appealing new colors!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″, 45″ x 5 1/4″ scrap strip for
sentiment and butterfly dies
Barely Blush CS: 3 3/4″ 5 1/2
Crisp Cantaloupe CS: 3 3/4″ 5 1/2
Golden Glow CS: 3 3/4″ 5 1/2
Hydrangea Hue CS: 3 3/4″ 5 1/2
Peaceful Pine CS: 3 3/4″ 5 1/2

Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Fern and Flora 3D embossing folder and adhere to the Basic White card base.
Emboss each of the In Color layers in the same place as the Basic White embossed layer so the design is consistent.

Cut the In Color embossed layers into 3/4″ strips and 3 3/4″ wide.

Start at the top of the embossed Basic White layer and adhere the first 3/4″ strip to near the top about 1/8″ down from the edge.

Adhere the next color by popping it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals leaving another 1/8″ border above the next color strip.
Continue adhering the different colors alternating heights gluing directly to Basic White embossed layer and then popping it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals until you reach the bottom of the Basic White embossed layer.
Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip and cut diagonally on each end for a little flair.

Pop up the sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals and place on the card front.

Stamp the small butterfly image from the Fern and Flora stamp set and die cut them out.
Adhere to the card base over the In Color strips for added texture and imagery.

Add two Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Dots for some coordinating embellishments to complete the card.
If you get the entire In Color Collection try using all five colors on one card – it’s amazing how well the color work together!

Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
