Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Here’s a Clean and Simple In Color Sampler that is quick and easy to put together. A Clean And Simple (CAS) card has lots of white space, few layers, and little or no embellishments. The design is versatile. You can reverse the squares and circles, add a different die cut element, embellish differently, and customize your sentiment.

My card showcases three of the five new In Colors: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, and Summer Splash. I enjoy combining these three. They’re crisp, clean and will give any project a fun pop of color.

Below are the five new 2024-2026 In Colors.

So, let’s make a card!

  • Cut a Thick Basic White cardstock card base 11″ x 4 1/4″, and score at 5 1/2″ on the 11″ side.
  • I cut a Basic White cardstock layer 3 1/2″ x 5″.
  • Each of the cardstock squares are 1 3/4″.
  • I die cut three cardstock circles using the Everyday Details Dies. The circle is about 1 7/8″ in diameter.
  • The Basic White die cut decorative elemtns are from the Friends For Life Dies.
  • Attach the cardstock squares to the back side of the Basic White layer as shown.
  • The Summer Splash layer is centered on the back of the right side.
  • The bottom of the Petunia Pop square is about 1/2″ from the bottom of the layer.
  • The top of the Peach Pie square is about 1/2″ from the top of the layer.
  • Stamp your sentiment.
  • I attached the circles with Dimensionals.
  • I embellished with the coordinating 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots.
  • I stamped the inside and added a little stamped and die cut heart.

So, I hope you enjoy my In Color circles and squares sampler as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Have fun with this clean and simple design. Try your favorite colors, and add a die cut element.

Most importantly, have fun creating your design.

It’s time for a new Customer Card Kit. The June, 2024 Monthly Customer Card Kit celebrates Country Flowers and Country Lace. The Card Kits feature a Fun Fold and an easy layered card design.

Below are additional Kit details.

  • You will receive everything you need to put the cards together as I’ve designed them.
  • The kit will include the card bases, layers, die cuts, embellishments, sentiment layers, and envelopes.
  • I cannot send stamped images, but you will have a sentiment layer you can customize to a stamp you already own, or you can purchase the Country Flowers Bundle.
  • You will also receive a printed PDF Tutorial, along with a video link so you can put the cards together along with me.
  • You will automatically receive this kit with a minimum product purchase of $50.00 through my online store.
  • This card kit will be available through June 30th.

  • Do you love Bundles? I do. It’s rare that I purchase a stamp set without the dies, or dies without the stamp set. Aside from that, there’s ALWAYS a 10% discount on Bundles. Starting today, Wednesday, June 5th, Stampin’ Up! is dicounting Bundles an additional 10%. If there’s a Bundle you’ve had your eyes on, you can save more from June 5th through June 30th with the additional discount.
  • Even Better! As much as I love Bundles, you absolutely have to have a cutting machine. If you don’t have one, think about investing in one during the month of June. From today, June 5th through June 30th, the Stampin’ Cut And Emboss Machine and the Mini Stampin’ Cut And Emboss Machine will be discounted 10%.
  • I’m sure you’ve heeard me say that I love my “Mini”. I do! Its smaller size makes it easy for me to keep it on my work surface when I’m making a card or project. The dies run through the machine smoothly and it cuts evenly.
