Today’s new In Color showcase is a little different. I’m shining the spotlight on two of the new 2024-2026 In Colors. They look so beautiful together, I had to pair them. Summer Splash and Petunia Pop are two deep toned pastels that will add the perfect something to any project you create.

My card design is a little stepped up from yesterday’s showcase. I was inspired by a card I created for a Paper Players Sketch Challenge a few years ago. I thought the design would show off the colors in the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper perfectly.

So, I think we can go ahead and make a card!

  • I cut a standard A-2 Summer Splash card base 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″.
  • The Basic White mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
  • Cut the floral patterned paper layer 4″ x 5 1/4″.
  • I added three horizontal patterned paper strips to the top of the floral layer. I cut two strips 3/4″ x 3 1/2″. The center strip is 3 1/8″ x 3/4″. 
  • The Summer Splash mat layer for the sentiment layer is 4 1/8″ x 2 3/8″.
  • The Basic White sentiment layer is 2 1/4″ x 4″.
  • I used Petunia Pop ink for the sentiment sentiment.
  • The flower and leaf elements are die cuts from the Flowers of Beauty Dies.

You can click the button below to download the PDF Tutorial. You can easily duplicate this design with pretty patterned paper and coordinating cardstock you have on hand.

Tomorrow, I’ll be showcasing the last color of the five new 2024-2026 In Colors – Shy Shamrock. Be sure to check back in.

So, match two vibrant, on trend colors, add a neutral, a few patterned paper strips, elements and a sentiment, and create something to share a smile.
