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’

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Timid Tiger CS: just a hair over 1″ x 4″
Darling Duckling CS: just a hair over 1″ x 4″
Strawberry Slush CS: just a hair over 1″ x 4″
Cloud Cover CS: just a hair over 1″ x 4″
Secret Sea CS: just a hair over 1″ x 4″

and that is all you need besides a few 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls and a Memento ink pad!

Cut a piece of each of the 2025-2027 In Color Cardstock colors to just a hair over 1″ x 4″

Adhere the first strip so the top and right and left margins are even about 1/8″ from the edge.

Butt the edges of the strips together so no white space from the card base can be seen between the strips and so that the edges are even with the top strip. Adhere to the card base.
Adhere the last two strips – putting Secret Sea on the bottom as it is the darkest of the colors it will anchor the card and will show be the most subtle to show the stamping.
Stamp the flower image from the Mixed Florals stamp set across the right-hand side of the strips – make sure to press evenly across the entire surface of the stamp but being careful not to rock the stamp. Stamp with Secret Sea ink pad.
Choose a linear sentiment that will fit across one color strip from the Mixed Labels stamp set and stamp across the top strip in Secret Sea ink.
Adhere three 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Darling Duckling around the flower on the Darling Duckling colored cardstock strip! This will finish this simply stamped card with the final pop of In Color that it needs!
I did a second version swapping the Darling Duckling as the top strip and using different sequins embellishments.

Such a fun and simple card that easily translates for any occasion just by switching out the sentiment!

Try this type of simple stamping with colored cardstock strips and a black or Secret Sea image – no coloring required but full of color with the cardstock strips you choose! No go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – secret sea, boho blue and cloud cover

more color mondays – secret sea, boho blue and cloud cover

by | Apr 14, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, masculine cards, more color mondays, new catalog, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge is all about something old and something new – all in hues of blue! The 2023-2025 In Colors are making their last appearance and taking their final bows and going quickly as of writing this yesterday the Boho Blue ink, cardstock and refills, Pebbled Path cardstock and refill and Wild Wheat cardstock and refill are all SOLD OUT the rest are availabel while supplies last!

I am combining them with two debuting colors from the 2025-2027 In Colors collection: Secret Sea and Cloud Cover!

Also debuting on May 6 is a gorgeous new suite called Beautiful Gallery. The 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper steals the show with art gallery inspired painted and sketched designs.

Measurements:
BASE: Secret Sea CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/2″
Boho Blue CS: (2) 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
scrap for sentiment banner matte
Cloud Cover CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 2″ x 5 1/5″ and
scrap for the sentiment piece
DSP: 6″ x 6″

I embossed the Cloud Cover layer in the beautiful new Damask Designs embossing folder and adhered it to one of the Boho Blue layers.
Base your cuts of the 6″ x 6″ DSP on the composition of the painting. You want to cut 3/4″ off of one end to make it 6″ x 5 1/4″ and then cut it into 2 pieces 2″ and 4″ basing the 4″ piece as the front of your finished card.

I cut the 2″ piece down to 1 1/4″ x 5″ as I wanted a little embossed layer border the entire way around the DSP layer.

Adhere the 2″ x 5″ DSP piece on the right-hand side of the embossed layer.

I used a 2″ x 4″ scrap piece of Basic White CS for the left-hand side of the embossed layer and stamped a sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Secret Sea ink – this is a beautiful deep misty navy quite different from our Night of Navy. I adhered it to the side of the DSP.
Adhere this embossed layer to the inside of the z-fold card.
Take the top portion of the 6″ x 6″ DSP piece that you initially cut off and cut it down to 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to the 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White CS to the middle. Adhere this piece to the middle layer of the z-fold card.
Take the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of DSP and adhere it to the second layer of Boho Blue CS then place adhesive on the front panel of the z-fold and attach this layer so that the top, left-hand side and bottom are equally aligned to the front z-fold panel.
Using the back side of this DSP scrap stamp a “just a note” sentiment onto the scrap in Secret Sea ink and cut a banner edge on the right-hand edge. Adhere to a scrap piece of Boho Blue CS and cut a banner edge on the right-hand side to match the DSP banner edge.
Pop up the sentiment piece onto Stampin’ DImensionals and place in the upper left-hand corner of the card front or elsewhere depending on the DSP composition you choose.
I added five new In Color embellishments in Cloud Cover and Secret sea to the card front there are also embellishments which are part of this Beautiful Gallery suite called Pressed Flower motifs and they would have gone nicely with this project as well. All of this will be available to customers in early May! Love it and want to have it now? Join my team and you are able to order it in the pre-order period!

I love the way that extended Z-fold fun fold cards look like a normal card but surprise you when they are opened!

Try this easy fun fold and go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
