Thank you card - 2024-26 InColors

Weekend Cardmaking Inspiration!

I'm sharing a card that focuses completely on new products from the Annual Catalog and the new InColors!

If you take advantage of the Starter Kit offer this month you'll get the cardstock and the pretty paper that I'm showing FREE as part of the bonus for MAY only.

This layout can easily be used with any of the items that you have on hand!

Use your favorite paper and get inspired!

Gather up your supplies and let's get ready to PLAY!

Project Basics:

Cardbase: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Petunia Pop cardstock

Background Layer: 5 1/4" x 4" Basic White cardstock, embossed with the Eyelet Embossing Folder.

Paper pieces: (5) 1" x 3" 2024-26 InColor 6x6 paper pack (as shown) with different patterns and colors of paper.

Accent and Greeting tags: approx 3" x 3" Petunia Pop cardstock die cut with the third largest circle & 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" Basic White cardstock die cut with the fourth largest circle die in the Spotlight on Nature die set.

Inside Layer: 5 1/4" x 4" Basic White cardstock (option: add a 5 1/4" x 1/2" piece of coordinating paper)

Embellishments: approx. 12" piece of Petunia Pop ribbon and 2024-26 InColor Shimmer Gems

Project Instructions:

Fold the card base in half, and make a top fold card (as shown).
After embossing the background layer center and attach it to the cardfront.
Choose the patterns and order of the papers you'd like to use on your cardfront. Randomly arrange and attach them on the accent layer.
Loop and attach the piece of ribbon over the paper strips and trim the ends.
After die cutting the size accent and greeting tag you'd like, stamp a greeting on the white circle using your favorite ink (as shown with Black Memento Ink).
Center and attach the die cut white circle directly onto the larger Petunia Pop circle.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front over the looped ribbon.
Stamp a greeting on the neutral cardstock for inside the card and if desired attach the pretty paper accent strip. Center and attach it inside.
Finish the card by adding a few 2024-26 InColor Shimmer Gems or your favorite bling to the cardfront.

That was easy!

I used each of the new InColors as cardbases, greeting accents and ribbon loops.

Each one was just a pretty as this one!

I bet you'll come up with some very pretty cards when you get out your favorite papers too!

Come on over to my part of Facebook and post your card on the Sunday Show and Tell post!

We'd love to see what you made!
