Soft Succulent

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – New In Colors

May 15, 2021 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features all the new 2021-2023 In Colors in one card!

So excited for this as I get you use my favorite stamp set from the new catalog, Biggest Wish –

This is how I used the stamp set and all the new In Colors –

And, of course, the Stamparatus!

It totally made stamping the bold BIRTHDAY easy easy! I placed the bold stamp on the Stamparatus towards the top, inked it up, and stamped. I cleaned the stamp, moved it down one notch and repeated the process with all the In Colors!

The overlay ‘hello friend happy happy birthday’, was also stamped using the Stamparatus and Black Memento ink. It came out nice and crisp!

For a little added interest, the strip of black and white True Love Designer Series Paper was the right added touch!

This is my favorite card I’ve made with the In Colors so far. What are your thoughts on it?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam‘s In Color cards. I know they’ll have some great projects along with everyone else on the hop today!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

It features a new In Color, Soft Succulent!!! It is such a pretty shade of green!

Here is how I used it along with the other colors –

I started by stamping three flower clusters from thee new Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Soft Succulent.

I stamped just the flowers again in Crushed Curry. I colored them with Cajun Craze and an old Daffodil Delight Blends marker.

I then fussy cut each of the flowers out and adhered them to the stems.

I backed this with Cajun Craze. I tied a bow of Soft Succulent Ribbon 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the card and added a sentiment from the same stamp set.

I love this card! It’s soft and sweet.

Happy Saturday!

How about a lot of crafty inspiration today?

We are sharing whatever we are working on.

I have been making and making and making a lot of things lately with soon-to-retire stuff. So, I am taking a break and treating myself to playing with new stuff from the upcoming Stampin’ Up catalog!

I wanted to see the new In Colors and how well they stamped.

I created a set of note card sized (3 1/2″ x 5″) book fold cards!

The new In Colors are –

Pale Papaya, a peachy sort of color.

Fresh Freesia, a light purple color. Darker than the retiring Purple Posy.

Polished Pink. A perfect pink!

Soft Succulent, a nice, soft greenish color.

Evening Evergreen. A rich darker green.

Each card is 3 1/2″ x 10″, scored at 5″ and 6 1/4″. I adhered the left side closed using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

I used a new stamp set as well, Color & Contour. I stamped the dots, flowers, flower centers, and sentiment from this new photopolymer stamp set.

Each card was tied with a piece of 3/8″ Open Weave coordinating ribbon too!

I stamped the front of each envelope with the same flower as the card front. The flap was stamped with the dots like the card front too! So cute!

I am really excited for these new In Colors! How about you?!?!

We have lots of great ideas on our hop today! Check everyone out and leave compliments! We love to read them all!
