Yes, I have a sneak peek at all the new In Colors today. This past weekend I held my monthly card club and we created a card that shows them all off, along with a new stamp set, Layered Thoughts.
When I was at the Stampin' UP! OnStage convention last week, one of the demonstrations included a card like this. It's a "stack & shuffle" card. Have you heard of it?
Start by taking 4 sheets of paper, either designer series paper or cardstock (in this case I took one of each of the new In Colors, Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Cloud Cover, except for Secret Sea). Cut the four sheets into a piece that is 3-3/4" x 5". Stack them (I cut two at a time) and first make a vertical cut from top to bottom at 2-1/2". Take the piece on the left and cut it at 2-3/4". Take the other side and cut it at 3"; now you have 4 pieces. See diagram below:
Once you have all 4 colors cut this way, you will take one of each color/size and you'll be able to make 4 cards.
I layered all my pieces on a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Secret Sea, and then added this to a Thick Basic White card base.
We took a 2" wide piece of Basic White to stamp a greeting from Layered Thoughts in Secret Sea, and angled it across the front of our card.
And we finished it off with some of the new In Color Flat Pearls.
Depending on the colors/DSP you choose, this can be a fabulous masculine card. And with tons of colors and patterned papers, the possibilities are endless! Give it a try!
The new In Color collection of inks, cardstock, markers, Blends, ribbons and Flat Pearls will be available with the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog, starting May 4th.
