Spotlight on Nature & the In Colours for New at SU

  

Welcome to our May NEW AT SU! Blog Hop! We love to share creative ideas from Stampin' Up! with you. Today we have projects featuring the new 2024 - 2026 In Colours and some products from the new 2024/25 Annual Catalogue! I decided to use all the in colours for 5 separate cards with the same design, but a different In Colour each. I'm using the new Spotlight on Nature bundle, so pretty and such a great set of dies, that I'm sure we'll be using on an ongoing basis. 

Here you can see the card design in all of the new In Colours for 2024 - 2026. The colours include Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, and Shy Shamrock, in the order you see them in the photo. They are such bright summery colours this time. Which one is your favourite? Here's how I made the card:

• I started with a cardstock base in which ever In Colour I was using, measuring 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". 
• I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, 5 1/4" x 4", and embossed it with the new So Swirly embossing folder.
• I cut a piece of 2024-2026 In Colour DSP into 5" x 3" (so I could get two from 1 sheet) and I added it to the Basic White panel, as shown, using Tombo glue.
• I cut a piece of ribbon in the coordinating In Colour, about 5 3/4" and stretched across the card front about 1" from the bottom, adhering the ends on the back on either side.

• Adhere the whole Basic White layer to the card base. I used Tombo.
• Die cut a circle using the largest Spotlight on Nature Eyelit Die and also a label using the smallest Deckled Rectangle die.
• Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the flowers and butterfly images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on to the circle as shown. Stamp the sentiment and texture image on to the deckled rectangle label, as shown.
• Use the appropriate colours of Stampin' Blends Combos to colour in the images and the Light Smoky Slate marker to out line them.
• Add the circle  and label with dimensionals. Bling up your card with the 2024 - 2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems.

Stippled Rosed & Wild Ferns for As You See It Challenge #323

 I love Recipe Challenges and the latest one, cooked up by my team mate Jan, is a great one because it's so dramatic, it has a lot of colour ingredients, and it's different from usual. I love that! You've got to keep things interesting, right?

Here's the Challenge Banner:

Although there are a lot of new stamp sets from the 2024/2025 Annual Catalogue I could have chosen for this, I decided to use two sets from the just retired Jan/Apr Mini Catalogue. The sets themselves are not retired however, they were carried over into the new Annual Catalogue. Thank goodness, because I just didn't get enough time to play with them. So I used the Stippled Roses and Wild Ferns bundles. The other reason I chose these two was that I couldn't decide on what the "other colour" would be. I was vacillating between Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade, both colours that are great looks with black and white. I finally decided to do two cards and use both colours, so Stippled Roses would go great with Poppy Parade and Wild Ferns with Lemon Lime Twist!

Anyway, take a look at how they turned out:

• Both cards start out with Basic Black card bases, cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", and scored at 4 1/4".
• The next layer is 4" x 5 1/4" and is Lemon Lime Twist for the Wild Fern card and Poppy Parade for the Stippled Blossom card.
• I cut 2 pieces of 3 3/4" x 5" of Basic White cardstock and embossed each one using the new Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. Wow! Now that is an enhanced texture! These panels were added to each of the card fronts.
• On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped 3 of the fern images in Lemon Lime Twist as well as the sentiment you see in the photo. Switching to Poppy Parade I stamped the large roses image, the single rose image and the Happy Mother's Day sentiment. 
• I die cut all the Wild Fern image and sentiment with dies from the Wild Fern die set.
• I die cut all the roses with dies from the Stippled Roses dies. The sentiment was die cut with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies.
• I die cut a matte for the sentiment with a larger circle die from the Stylish Shapes set and Poppy Parade cardstock.
• I die cut the 'fern frames' to surround the sentiment from Lemon Lime cardstock. A problem I encountered was: to completely surround the sentiment, you need to turn one of those die cuts over, but the backside of the die cut is not as good quality as the front. I remedied that by using what I could of the second border piece and cutting off what didn't fit, then tucking it up where there was no border piece. 
• The ferns that had been stamped and die cut were tucked in at two corners.
• I wanted to add some bling, so chose the Iridescent Pearls.
