2020-2022 In Color Projects

I love the five new 2020-2022 In Colors! I like them each on their own, but I especially like how they look all together.  Note: The colors in these photos are brighter than in person.  My camera tends to make things look dark, so I used a brighter lens when taking the photos and it over corrected the other way.  Oh well!

You can watch me make these projects on my Facebook Live HERE.  The measurements for each project are listed below:

Hershey Nugget Packets
These fun little treats were inspired by the The Papered Chef.  I used the In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) for one of the toppers and the Flowers For Every Season DSP for other one.
  • Tray (I used Cinnamon Cider): 4-7/8" x 2-3/8"; with 2-3/8" at the stop, score at 1/2" and 1-7/8"
  • DSP strips for the nuggets: 1" x 3"
  • DSP for the topper: 1-1/2" x 2-1/2"
  • Cardstock for topper: 2-3/4" x 3-1/2"
  • White label strip: 3/4" x 2-3/4" (before punching the ends with Lovely Labels Pick A Punch)
  • Just Jade label strip: 3/4" x 3-1/4" (before punching the ends with Lovely Labels Pick A Punch))


Sending Love Your Way Card
I love the new Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch!  I thought about just getting the punch, but I'm glad I decided to get the bundle to go with it.  It made this card really easy! Note: The pink rectangle also has an image stamped on it, but you can't tell in the photo.

  • Thick White Cardstock (card base): 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
  • Whisper White cardstock: 4 x 5-1/4" (emboss with Subtle 3D Embossing folder)
  • Use scraps of cardstock from each of the In Colors (except Bumblebee) to punch the postage stamp shape
  • Bumblebee greeting strip: 5/8" x 3-1/2"
Celebrate Card
We made this card at my last Virtual Stamp Party.  The celebrate die is retired, but you could stamp any birthday greeting in that spot instead. Try making one with each of the different colors for the card base.  They all look great!
  • Card base (choose any In Color): 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
  • Whisper White cardstock: 4 x 5-1/4" (use one for the front and one for the inside)
  • In Color DSP strips: 1" x 2"

Smile Card
These lovely card design came from Julie Davison.

  • Thick White Cardstock (card base): 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2
  • DSP Strips: 3/4" x 3-3/4"
  • Use scraps of cardstock from each of the In Colors to punch flowers with the Small Bloom punch
  • Pop the flowers up and add In Color Enamel Dots
As I mentioned before, you can watch me make these projects HERE on Facebook.  They were fun and simple to make.  I hope you'll give them a try!  Below are some other cards I made with the new colors.  The designs were inspired by Rochelle Block.  These were not so simple to make (die-cutting vellum is kind of a pain), but I love how they turned out. This picture more accurately shows the colors as it hasn't been brightened.

Pampered Pets

Have you seen the Playful Pet suite in the new catalog?  It's so adorable!  I don't even consider myself a pet person (although I have a dog), but I still couldn't wait to get it!  I think it was the colors in the DSP that drew me in!

The card I'm sharing today was cased from p. 40 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  It's a fairly simple card with just a little coloring.  You can see a video of me making it HERE.  These are the measurements and steps.

Measurements:
  • Basic Gray Cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", score at 4 1/4"
  • Striped DSP: 4" x 3" (front); 2-3/16 x 5-3/4 (envelope flap)
  • Whisper White Cardstock: 3" x 3-3/4" (front); 4" x 5-1/4" (inside)

Steps:
  1. Stamp your greeting in Real Read ink on the small white cardstock piece.
  2. Stamp your pets in black ink and color with Stampin' Blends or other coloring tools.  See my Facebook LIVE HERE for other options.
  3. Wrap a small piece of twine across the top front of the white piece and tape it on back.  Tie another piece of twine into a bow and attach to the front with a glue dot.
  4. Attach the DSP to the card front.
  5. Stamp the small heart image in Basic Gray along the top and bottom edge of the card base.
  6. Attach your white stamped piece to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Add the heart or bone charm with a glue dot.
  7. Inside--Stamp the dog bowl on the inside card piece and color with Stampin' Blends.  Stamp some hearts in Real Red ink.
  8. Attach the long strip of DSP to the envelope flap and trim off the extra.
This card is fairly quick and easy.  I've made several other projects with this darling set, but I'll save them for another post.
