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’

This In Color card uses all of the new In Colors from 2026-2028 all in one card!

These new colors are beautiful and really compliment our standard color collection.

See my post about the New In Colors and the color history update!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″, 4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for
sentiment and butterflies
26-28 In Color CS: 1 each color 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
emboss and cut into 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ strips

Emboss the Basic White CS layer in the Fern and Flora 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card base.
Cut each of the 2026-2028 In Colors to 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ and emboss in the same section of the Fern and Flora 3D embossing folder so that the embossed image is consistent.

Cut each embossed layer into 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ strips and keep in order.

Start at the top of the Basic White embossed layer and adhere the first In Color strip at the top.

Pop up the next color strip leaving about 1/16″ to 1/8″ gap. Then adhere the next color below directly onto the embossed surface and alternate the remaining colors until you reach the bottom of the embossed layer – you will be able to fit 6 strips so one of the colors will repeat,

Stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” sentiment onto a Basic White cardstock strip and cut diagonal edges at the end of the sentiment.

Stamp two small butterflies in the new Hybrid Black ink pad from the Fern and Flora stamp set and die cut them out.

Adhere the sentiment and the butterflies to the card front over the embossed layers.

Choose a contrasting embellishment and add them around the sentiment piece.

What a fun card to display all of our new 2026-2028 In Colors – order yours today! Hope you get the chance to create today – now go and make or share your artwork – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

sweet old bear card

sweet old bear card

by | Jun 3, 2026 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, In Colors, masculine cards, online exclusives

This suite for me is super sentimental and nostalgic. The Designer Series Paper is so awesome there are two pages that have little vignettes of scenes from the original Winnie the Pooh books and they make perfect easy cards.

Measurements:
BASE: Very Vanilla CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ scrap for
sentiment piece
Golden Glow CS: scraps for vignette matte and
sentiment matte

Emboss the Very Vanilla layer with the Hundred Acre Woods embossing folder.

Adhere to the Very Vanilla card base.

Die cut one of the vignettes and die cut the larger matte in Golden Glow CS and adhere the Pooh Vignette to the Golden Glow Matte and then adhere to the center of the embossed card front.
Die cut the smaller banner in Very Vanilla cardstock and the larger banner die in the Golden Glow CS. Stamp the sentiment in Golden Glow ink on the Very vanilla banner and adhere it to the Golden Glow banner. Pop the sentiment up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and mount on the card below the Pooh Vignette.
Adhere the In Color Butterflies around the card to finish it off.

Love the sentiment images and the sweet words and labels that coordinate with all of the old fashioned Pooh images.

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

Happy Stampin’

hidden edge dsp card

hidden edge dsp card

by | May 15, 2026 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, In Colors, masculine cards, new catalog, techniques

Fern and Flora Bundle was the After Hours stamp set and dies that we were able to pre-order for OnStage 2026 Convention and got to play with and make lovely pre-designed cards with after one of the convention days.

This lovely set is perfect for those that love plants and nature themed sets! Today’s card is a fun hidden dsp edged card – super simple to make and recreate with any DSP or colored cardstock that you have lying around!

Measurements:
Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for dies
DSP: 1″ x 5 1/4″

Die cut a variety of the fern dies from the Fern and Flora die set from the scrap Basic White CS you will need 4-6 depending on the sizes.
I choose 6 dies and three ink colors – Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and the NEW 2026-2028 In Color Peaceful Pine inks.

Blend the dies with the different colors I choose two dies for each color and tried to color them with different pressures to vary the hue of the colors.

Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Fern and Flora 3D embossing folder – this one is stunning!
Adhere the embossed layer to the card front.

Take and place adhesive ONLY on the left hand side of the back of the DSP layer. This allows the right-hand edge to have no adhesive and act like a pocket being able to “tuck” the dies under the “hidden edge”!

Adhere the DSP to the left-hand edge of the embossed layer.

Using the silicon matte because these dies are delicate and this will protect your surface from getting glue all over, place multi-purpose glue to the backs of each of the die cuts and tuck them under the DSP edge starting at the top of the card and overlapping until you reach the bottom of the card!
I stamped three moth images in the NEW Hybrid Black ink – which I love – this will replace the Memento ink and is awesome as you can watercolor with it and use Stampin’ Blends to color without smearing!

I then colored the wings of the three moths with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush, the sparkle is so luscious!

Add the Moths to the card front – I adhered one directly to the DSP and popped the other two up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added 2 Golden Glow embellishments from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots to the card front.
I took a close up of the Shimmer Brush results – can you see that Sparkle? I hope you can!
I added a stamped sentiment box and the sentiment from the Fern and Flora stamp set and colored the border in Golden Glow Shimmer Brush!

Love this masculine card – don’t you?
Try this hidden DSP edge next time you stamp!Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
