Make Stunning Thank You Cards with New In Colors

My customer Thank You Cards this month were created using the new 2025–2027 In Colors and the Encircled With Love stamp set. I wanted to really show off how beautiful these new colors are, and what better way than layering them with coordinating In Color cardstock, 6×6″ Designer Series Paper, and embellishments? I almost went with a monochromatic look, but adding a pop of color behind the sentiment gave each card a little extra charm. Keep reading to see how you can Make Stunning Thank You Cards with New In Colors too!

Initially, I intended to create these cards in a monochromatic style. I stamped the sentiment from the Encircled With Love stamp set in matching In Color ink. Then, I decided to add a pop of contrasting color behind the sentiment. It made the elements pop just a little more. That extra layer really draws the eye to the focal point and adds just the right touch of dimension. I love how they turned out—simple & clean, but still amazing!

To add texture to my card, I added layer of Basic White DSP behind the Designer Series Paper. I think it worked out great for balancing the colorful designs without overwhelming the card. To finish my cards, I added the coordinating 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

What color combos would you like to see with these new In Colors? Or do you have a favorite design tip you swear by for quick but beautiful cards? I’d love to hear, click here to leave me a comment.

Friends for Life and a Sketch

A card sketch is like a treasure map, it shows you where to put different elements, but YOU get to decide the colors, patterns, and embellishments. I recently used a simple sketch from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog to create my “Thinking of You” card, and the transformation was so fun! The sketch gave me a starting point, and my creativity took over from there! I started with making myself a template of this basic sketch from page 22 in the Annual Catalog.

To create my card, I started by embossing a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder. I cut it into 3 strips 1-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ and added them to a Crumb Cake Card base. I layered a 3″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock on a 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The hearts are die cut in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie hearts from the Friends for Life Dies. The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I couldn’t resist adding a few of the Iridescent Faceted Gems for some sparkle.

Inside my card I added a few Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie hearts also die cut from the Friends for Life dies. If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at a blank card base, try using a sketch as inspiration! Start with a simple one, like the one I used here, and make it your own with different colors, patterns, or embellishments.

I’m also using the Friends for Life Dies in my Ink & Stamp Card Club this month, which features the Friends for Life Bundle. Click Here or the image below for more information and to register. Hurry registration closes March 20, 2025!

For the Love of Books Slimline Card

For the Books Bundle was at the top of my mini catalog shopping list. I love books and had to have this set. The mini catalog sample is the inspiration for my slimline card. It reminds me of my bookshelf with stacks of books. I have books piled in my bedroom and my craft room too. You can never have too many books, right?!

The first thing I did was decide how to create the gold accents on the book binding. My first try was the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Write Marker and Wink of Stella. Actually, I’m not a Wild Wheat fan at all so I don’t have the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blend Marker. My second try was the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend and Wink of Stella. I thought this was too light, so I added the Ivory Stampin’ Blend Marker, which still wasn’t quite right. My third try, I use the Ivory first, then the Dark Daffodil Delight and last the Wink of Stella. Perfect!

The card base for my slimline card is Basic White Thick cardstock cut to 7″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 3-1/2″. I stamped the book images on to my card base with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them with quite a few Stampin’ Blends.

To create the shelves, I cut 1/4″ strips of Crumb Cake cardstock. To create the label, I used Masking Paper on several stamps to create the sentiment and die cut it with the Nested Essentials dies. I die cut a second label in Misty Moonlight, cut it in half and layered it beneath the sentiment, then added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Of course, I had to add a little sparkle with the Glossy Dots.

Coloring with Wink of Stella and Adorning Hearts

My card today was inspired by a color challenge that I participated in a number of weeks ago. Here are the inspiring colors I used…

I love how these colors look together, I think that I will be using them more often in the future. I hope you find inspiration from them as well. For the card base I stamped the floral image on Petunia Pop Cardstock with Petunia Pop ink.

The heart was created with the Adoring Hearts photopolymer stamp set. I stamped it in Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then using Wink of Stella I dipped the brush tip in Misty Moonlight to color the leaves, and did the same with Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop, then fussy cut it. Using Wink of Stella gives the prettiest shimmer to the heart.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock. Then I brushed Bubble Bath ink above the sentiment and added the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped Just For You in Misty Moonlight and die cut the banner to add to the heart. I added this to a Misty Moonlight and Bubble Bath layers then added them to the card base.
