Thre are so many pretty patterns in the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper pack, I had to cut into it again. This is a simple thank you card that can be used at any time of the year. Using the Iconic Inagery Bundle, and the Iconic Celebrations DSP pack, you can easily make this a Thanksgiving or Fall-themed card. There are little leaf stamps and coordinating dies. The Paper Pack has pretty Fall themed designs, as well.
To me, the Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow color combination is refreshing. Until I saw this design, I didn’t think to pair the two.

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!
Parts & Pieces
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.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

Here’s to Peach Pie! The second color in my “New Colors Showcase”, and it’s delicious! To me, it’s a deeper version of Mango Melody. It’s a warm, rich color that could truly stand alone, or would work beautifully as an “attention getter” accent.
I kept this card design simple, and also included a Sneak Peek of one of the patterns from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The Unbounded Beauty DSP pack focuses on all of the new In Colors. When I looked at all of the color matches and designs in the paper pack, this one is a favorite. It’s monochromatic palette mixes Peach Pie with Calypso Coral, and I can almost see it working with Petunia Pop.
I use Stampin’ Up!’s Color Coach as a quick reference when I can’t seem to find a color that works with a project I want to do. Each year, with the release of the new In Colors, Stampin’ Up! publishes the updated Color Coach. You can download a copy of it here, or click on the image below.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
The Peach Pie cardstock card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
The Basic White mat layer is 3 1/8″ x 5 1/2″.
I cut the patterned paper layer 3″ x 5 1/2″, and adhered it to the top of the Basic White mat layer to create a focal point layer for the card front.
Each of the offset top layers is die cut using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. They measure about 2 1/8″ x 3 1/2″.
I adhered the patterned paper offset layer directly to the card front.
The Basic White offset layer is stamped with one of the stamps from the new Country Birdhouse Stamp Set and Calypso Coral ink.
The die cut flowers are from the upcoming Flowers of Beauty Dies, and the stamped tiny flower is a stamp from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set. (Two more little Sneak Peeks).
I attached the top offset layer with Dimensionals and added a few Peach Pie 2024-2026 Matte Resin Dots. These are a big “must have”!
So, I hope you’re enjoying this new In Color Showcase. Tomorrow, I’ll show off another new “In Color”. Be sure to check back.
Remember …
… the only limitation is your imagination!

My featured card is a monochromatic card celebrating the return of Pretty In Pink! One of the new 2024-2026 In Colors, it truly is “pretty”. In my opinion, it’s a true pink, and it’s a good addition to Stampin’ Up!’s Pink Color Family.
A Few Sneak Peeks
Along with showcasing the color, I’m also featuring a Sneak Peek at the new In Colors 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack. I always make a point of getting these since they give me lots of versatility when I’m designing a card. In the paper pack there are 40 sheets of 6″ x 6″ patterned paper, 8 sheets of each of the 5 In Colors. Each color has four double sided designs. A sample of the patterns is below.
My next feawtured Sneak Peek is the Eyelet Embossing Folder. It’s so pretty. Because of it’s subtle taxture, you can use it in so many ways. I used it on the top cardstock layer of my card. The texture it gives adds interest to the monochromatic design.
I thought the large sentiment would be another way to give this simple design a little pop. It’s from the Adoring Hearts stamp set. By the way, the Bundle is available now. Both the Stamp Set and the Hybrid Embossing Folder/Dies will be in the new catalog, but the discounted Bundle pricing will not apply. This is one investment I’m glad I made.
I die cut the leaf element from one of the dies included in the Flowers of Beauty Bundle. It’ll be available for purchase on May 1st.
You can download a copy of the updated Color Coach here. It includes the new In Colors, along with Basic Beige, a new addition to our Color Family. The Color Coach is a handy tool to have. It gives coordinating color inspiration for each of the Stampin’ Up! colors. The colors are listed in rainbow order.
So, cut and emboss a Pretty In Pink cardstock layer, stamp a Pretty In Pink sentiment, attach some Pretty In Pink Patterned Paper layers and create something to celebrate.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

These little zinnias are so cute! They’re cropped using dies in the Simply Zinnia Die Set. Today is the first time I used the Zinnia 3-D Embossing Folder. The embossed layer on my card is stunning! It’s hard to truly appreciate it in my photo, but when you actually use the Embossing Folder and see the results, you’ll say, “Wow”!
Although I’m drawing attention to some of the products in the Flowering Zinnias Suite (available in the Online Exclusives), I’m also showcasing three of the 2022-2024 In Colors that are retiring as of April 30th. Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, and Orchid Oasis will leave the Stampin’ Up! color family, only to be replaced by five new, on trend colors. There will also be a new color added to the Basics Collection – Basic Beige.
I am already imagining some wonderful color combinations using these new colors. I’ll be sharing these combinations with you in a new post.
So, let’s make a quick and easy card!
Parts And Pieces
The Orchid Oasis cardstock card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
The Basic White mat layer is 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″.
The embossed Orchid Oasis cardstock layer is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
I die cut the zinnias using Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White and Old Olive cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set. (The Stamp Set is retiring, however the Perennial Postage Dies will stay with us).
Attach the layers as shown, then attach the die cut elements as shown.
So, create an amazing embossed layer, attach it to a card base, add a few pretty die cut flowers and send love and best wishes to someone special.
