Shortly, Stampin’ Up! will be releasing their new In Colors for 2021 through 2023. This is always an exciting time. Along with the new In Colors comes the release of the new Annual Catalog. While the new In Colors will certainly be beautiful and, once again, I’ll have my favorites, it’s always hard to say goodbye to the colors I’ve enjoyed over the past two years.
So, to celebrate those colors leaving us, I’ve prepared a parade of cards for you to enjoy today. They all feature the retiring In Colors. You can click on the photo of each one to see my original post.
Pretty Peacock is one of my all time Stampin’ Up! favorites.
Terracotta Tile: A warm, creamy deep toned orange.
Seaside Spray: One of the prettiest blues I’ve seen.
Rococo Rose: A beautiful deep pink.
Purple Posy: A soft and subtle purple.
So, I hope you enjoyed this little parade of cards, some have FREE PDF Tutorials in the original post, so don’t forget to check them out.
If you haven’t already picked up these beautiful colors, now’s the time before they’re gone.
Remember,
…the only limitation is your imagination!

It’s Sunday, and time for another Paper Players blog challenge. This week, it’s Ann’s turn with a CAS “Animal” themed Challenge. A CAS card is a clean and simple design with lots of white space, minimal layers and little embellishment. In most cases, CAS cards are quick, easy and great when you need multiples of cards for a particular occasion or just to have on hand.
Let It Ride is a retired stamp set but one I kept in my archives because I loved the energy of the images and sentiments. Horses are beautiful, powerful and have keen intuition. They know love and give it just as dogs do. I’ve rescued two shelter dogs and know the unconditional love they are capable of giving.
I stamped the horse image with Soft Suede ink and softened the lines with my Blender Pen. This was a very easy process. My image might be a wild horse, I’m not sure, but I did soften him a bit.
This sentiment is full of energy and vitality just like the horse… a message of encouragement and one that I hope resonates with you as Spring is finally here and the days are getting longer. (Be sure to be safe and vigilant, though). (smile!!)
So, cut that Basic White card base, add a layer with a beautiful stamped image and create something encouraging!!
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Hello Stampers! Happy Monday!
One of the ladies in my group recently talked about having a dry spell with project inspiration. It happens to all of us. The advice I gave to my friend was to go to one of the catalogs and CASE something that catches her eye. So, today I have a catty CASE for you. I haven’t CASE’d the catty in a while. I must say, it was fun. All of the Stampin’ Up! catalogs are great sources of project inspiration.
I was looking for a few quick and easy projects and it didn’t take long. On page 7 in the January-June 2021 Mini I came across the You Are Amazing Project Kit. There are four card designs in the Kit along with a decorative box to store the finished cards. Here’s my idea:
- I’ll CASE the four cards using different supplies. I chose the Playing With Patterns DSP which would be my color inspiration.
- Two of the cards are featured in today’s post and two will be in tomorrow’s post.
- Tomorrow’s post will also include a PDF Tutorial for all four cards.
I think it’ll be fun and since they’re all color coordinated and very generic, the four card set would make a great gift.
Todays first card above uses the polka dot pattern from Playing With Patterns DSP with Night of Navy and Purple Posy accents.
The second card below uses the same color palette as the first (the small polka dot pattern from the DSP) with Night of Navy, Purple Posy, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry accents.
The card in the catty has different DSP, a die cut label, a different sentiment and no embellishments.
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow. I’ll have two more cards for your inspiration and a PDF tutorial of all four cards including supplies I used, measurements and pictures.
So, pull out some of your DSP, match up some cardstock, add a sentiment banner and create a CASE or two.
…the only limitation is your imagination!
