Did you know that Stampin' UP! is bringing out two-tone cardstock in all colors? Yes! Starting with the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, this 12" x 12" cardstock will be available in 50 colors! Wowsa!
Two-tone cardstock is exactly what it sounds like - one side is the true Stampin' UP! color (like Real Red) and when you flip it over, it's a lighter shade. There is a white core, so if the cardstock is ripped, you will see white along the edges. It can also be sanded to let the white show through the color. Neat!
So to introduce this to my customers, we used it in class this past weekend.
Take a look at the card on the right; it's one I made while attending Stampin' UP!'s OnStage convention last week:
I decided to step it up a bit for my class attendees. Instead of a Granny Apple Green card base, we used a piece of Basic Black Two-Tone cardstock, cut to 5-1/2" x 7-3/4" and scored at 4-1/4". This left a 3/4" strip on the right side, where you can see the lighter tone of black.
The flowers from Impressions Abloom (a new stamp set coming in the OnLine Exclusives in May) were stamped in new In Colors, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling, with Secret Sea centers. We also added some Granny Apple Green leaves.
But here you can see the lighter shade of black on the right side of the card. It's a great way to add a little extra interest to your creations!
Basic Black Two-tone cardstock is available now; the other colors will be available starting May 4th. The hardest part will be deciding which colors to get first!
