Color POP!

I just love how BRIGHT and fun this card is! It is an awesome card to share with your team and customers to give them a sampling of our five incredible new In Colors! This is my 28th card for my “A Card a Day in May” challenge!

The colors are Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider. I was inspired to make this card by one in the upcoming new catalogue! It is a great source of inspiration!

I added in strips of designer series paper and card stock to create interest and variety. I used strips from the 6x6 Designer Series Paper and 6x6 Flowers for Every Season Designer Series paper.

And because we don’t have access to the new ink pads yet I stamped my sentiment in Versamark with embossed with clear embossing powder. Just Saying Hello is from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. The floral image is stamped with Staz On from the Ornate Style stamp set. A little bit of ribbon, Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and Magenta Madness 1/4 ribbon completed this card!

Double Front Card

It has been a while since I have made a Double Front Card (at least that is what I know it as) and I thought I would kick off the last week of my “A Card a Day in May” challenge with something fun! I also used all new products on this card as well and am so happy with the end result!

The base of my card is the new In Color, Cinnamon Cider which is cut to 6 3/8 x 5 1/2. Score at 4 inches on the long side. I cut a layering strip of Cinnamon Cider card stock to 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 which I ran through the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. This adhered to the little flap on the base of the card front.

The base for the inside card, Whisper White, is 8 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 inches on the long side.

I cut two pieces of Misty Moonlight to 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 for the front and inside decorative panels.

Cut two pieces of Whisper White to 2 1/2 x 4 to layer on top. This is where I did my fun stamping!

On the inside flap I added some DSP from the Flowers for Every Season 6x6 stack. It is 2 x 5 1/4. I added a second little strip to the card base which peeks through when the card is closed. It is 1 x 5 1/4.

Adhere the Whisper White card base to the Cinnamon Cider base making sure to keep a little bit of space between the folds. You can then add the two Misty Moonlight panels making sure that the second one (attached to the Whisper White base) is hidden behind the first one. Embellish your card as desired!

I used the Lovely You and Field of Flowers stamp sets on my card. The sentiments on Just Jade are stamped with Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I cut both out using the Tasteful Labels dies.

I added threads behind my sentiments that I deconstructed from the open weave ribbon found in the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack. It might just be my favourite new trick. I have to replace that Metallic Thread with something! And finally the little green gems on the front are from the Flowers for Every Season gems collection. They really do finish off the front panel.

This is the inside view of the first panel. You can see how I added in the DSP and have attached the two Misty Moonlight panels so they line up. The second one is hidden until you open the card.

And finally the next flip takes you to the back base of the card where I included another sentiment found in the Lovely You stamp set.

Isn’t the detail in the thread and gems just the perfect touch? It really elevated the sophistication of this card!

Introducing...

The NEW In Colors for 2020-2022 of course! I am sure you have seen them floating around online already! They are Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, and Just Jade!

This card is a fabulous way to showcase these five new amazing colors! They look outstanding together and will compliment our existing lineup in an awesome way.

I used the Stitched Stars dies to cut out the front image and then layered strips of card stock behind in varying widths. I thought it was a fun way to present these colors especially paired with the sentiment “Hello Fabulous” from the Dressed to Impress stamp set, which will be in the new catalogue!

Adding in a couple couple new embellishments is also a great way to showcase the New In Colors. I used the In Color Enamel Dots, 1/4 inch ribbon in Misty Moonlight and the 1/4 gingham ribbon in Bumblebee. I also snuck in some Gold Metallic thread as I will use it until my last spool is gone (cue heartbreaking).

Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider and Just Jade—your new best friends until 2022!
