I love this new Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper and apparently everyone else does too as of the end of this week it is back ordered but we have a new notification system so if you love these cards – put your email and name down to be notified as soon as they return!

I love black and white – something about the contrast that is just intoxicating – so striking!

This paper has so much possibility!

Measurements:
BASE: Barely Blush CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
DSP: 1″ x 5 1/2″, and scraps for the vases.
Balmy Blue CS: 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Soft Sea Foam CS: 2″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: scrap strip for the sentiment

I gathered the Light and Dark Stampin’
Blends for all three colors in this challenge: Barely Blush, Balmy Blue and Soft Sea Foam and colored an entire line of the vases from one of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.

I fussy cut some of the vases out to use on the cards.

I adhered the Balmy Blue strip under the bottom edge of the DSP strip and adhered both to the Soft Sea Foam layer. I adhered the three layers to the center of the card front.

I stamped the Basic White strip with a sentiment and Blended it with a Blending Brush and Barely Blush ink.

I piked out three vases and adhered them across the designer series paper and colored cardstock strip section alternating height.

I fussy cut some of the small flowers on the scraps of the opposite side of the vase DSP and adhered them to the bottom of the card front below the vases.

I adhered more little flower fussy cuts to the top edge of the card front.

I popped up the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the vases.

I added two Barely Blush 2026-2028 In Color Dots embellishments to finish off the card with some coordinating soft pearlescent bling!

Try a soft color combination with your next stampin’ project – now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

in color strip card

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’
