I wouldn’t have predicted that I would come up with this Spotlight On Nature In Colors Hello Card when I wanted to highlight the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2027 In Colors, but here it is! I planned to use one diecut circle for each color scattered around on a card, probably using the Stylish Shapes Dies, but once I spotted the Spotlight on Nature Dies, I decided to use those instead! These dies have such interesting designs around the edges and lots of sizes so it was a no-brainer.
The card starts with just a Basic White card base although you could use something else, probably or piece of designer series paper. From there I just got out my assorted package of In Colors and used smaller pieces or half sheets to cut out a bunch of these circles. As long as I was diecutting, I may as well put several different dies on each piece of cardstock. I knew I could save any extras to use on another card or project. I like having the package of assorted In Colors, at least to start, so I can try out all the In Colors and then, the ones I really like, I can buy in individual packages. But to start with, I get all the colors in an assortment, and probably buying two assorted packages is a good idea! Then you have plenty of cardstock for awhile.
I could have predicted that to make this card, if I knew ahead of time what I would ultimately make, that I would take a long time to decide on colors and placement of all the circles. I originally thought I would only do one circle of each color on the card, but then I began layering. Somehow the pattern I originally laid out pretty much looked good and with just a few tweaks, I stuck with it! If you are working on something like this, and have it all laid out, but now you have to take it apart to glue it together, be sure to take a picture with your camera on your phone first and then you have that photo to refer back to! It sure is helpful to do that, if you think of it!
These are the 2025-2027 In Colors and I really like them. The colors are Secret Sea (the very dark blue), Cloud Cover (the lighter blue), Timid Tiger (the orange color), Darling Duckling (yellow) and Strawberry Slush (the vibrant pink). They all come in regular size cardstock, 12″ x 12″ cardstock, Stampin’ Blends, ink pads (except for Cloud Cover which just didn’t make the high quality standard but you can use the ink refill and make your own pad with a Stampin’ Spot!), Stampin’ Write Markers, and find these colors in designer papers. These are the on-trend colors for this year and next!
Back to my card! I could have popped up some of these circles, but they are all adhered flat to the card. I found the “Hello” greeting in the Saying Something Ephemera Pack. Of course, I stamp a lot of greetings for cards, but I also find it fun and time-saving to find an appropriate greeting in one of our many ephemera packs that we have in this catalog! To complete the card, I added the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are pretty and also fairly flat which is always good for mailing. I chose one of each color to put randomly on the card, in different sizes.
