social stamping blog hop with IN Colours and a fun fold

Hello and welcome to the social stamping hop for March.

...Wow How is it March already?

As the year rolls on we are getting closer to the end of the Annual Catalogue , which means the launch of a brand new set of 5 In Colours and the retirement of the 5 listed for June 2019- June 2021. I will be very sad to see Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray leave us particularly, but at the same time I am intrigued to know what the new ones might be.

I have used Pretty Peacock for this week's card- a fancy fold. This is the card closed

and when you open it - a wiper pops up with a decoration- in this case another butterfly.

Of course there's a little stamping on the reverse, and the envelope.

So we are all creating using In colours and I would like to share a Wiper Card with you. If you follow me you will know I love a fun fold or interactive card. As most card tutorials are for imperial measurements I always try and remake the card using Australian metric measurements and I have done this again today.

You will need

there are plenty of video tutorials for a wiper card and I found Dawn Griffiths the simplest to follow. The trickiest part is adhering the corner of the wiper. Be sure to only adhere it next to the first score line not the second ( I may have had to bin a few versions!)

I also had fun punching out a few smaller butterflies from the DSP. Sadly the paper is no longer available, but you can certainly purchase the gorgeous butterfly stamp and the thinlits.

The Butterfly punch is on the retiring list but is still available while stocks last.

I look forward to seeing what everyone else has created using the In colours, there are so many super talented crafters in this lovely group.I

Next on the hop this week is Kathryn

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

With the new catalogue coming soon Stampin' Up! have to make room for new products so there are some retiring. You'll find them in the link below, but they are only available while stocks last.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours. I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...
