Layers of Beauty In Colors


I had my first play with the new 2024-5 In Colors and I must say, I am enjoying the bright, happy colors that feel like sherbet colors to me. And aren't we all ready for summer about now? I also for the first time used the new Layers of Beauty bundle that also comes with a set of masks that I haven't used yet (but I am sure I will in a later post). Petunia Pop was the most popular new In Color at our stamping convention, but they are all lovely. If you are a demonstrator, you can start ordering these products on 4/2 and for customers you can start ordering on 5/1. If you don't have a demonstrator you are working with, and you'd like a new Annual Catalog, email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com.

These cards were inspired by a post by Patty Bennet--she used the Simply Zinnia set in the In Colors to make some gorgeous cards too.

For today I am making the Petunia Pop card, but substitute any color you want to make the card with another In Color. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Basic White Thick cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. 
2. Basic White cardstock-- 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece 
3. Petunia Pop cardstock 4" by 5 1/4" and a scrap piece for the sentiment
4. 2024-26 In Color 6" by 6" DSP-1" by 4" piece of the dotted Petunia Pop DSP
5. Stamp Sets-- Layers of Beauty
6. Ink--Petunia Pop
6. Dies--Layers of Beauty, Unbounded Love
7. Petunia Pop 3/8" Bordered Ribbon
8. Embossing Supplies--embossing buddy, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
9. Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder
10. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Regular and Mini Dimensionals, Cut and Emboss Machine, Mini Glue Dots

Below is a better picture of the Petunia Pop card we are making. Start by running the 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Petunia Pop cardstock through your Cut and Emboss machine inside the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. Attach that to the folded Thick Basic White card base. Attach the 1" piece of  Petunia Pop In Color 6" by 6" DSP about 1" up from the bottom of the card. 


Now for some stamping. Stamp the large floral image from the Layers of Beauty stamp set on the 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of Basic White, then cut it our using the matching die. Attach it to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Emboss in white the sentiment on a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock--use your embossing buddy first, stamp in Versamark then sprinkle the white Embossing Powder and tap off the excess and melt with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using one of the Unbounded Love dies and attach with Dimensionals. Tie the coordinating ribbon in a knot and diagonally cut both ends. Attach with a Mini Glue Dot. 


Here's a better view of the cards in the other 4 new In Colors.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

Something Fancy Before I get to making this card, I want to announce that I am selling Mystery Boxes of retired Stampin' Up product. These are a medium sized USPS Priority Mail box and they will be stuffed with product. Each box will include a minimum of 10 Stampin' Up stamps and at least 2 of them will be a bundle with either a die set or a punch. They will all have at least one retired embossing folder as well as embellishments and ribbon.

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals.
