In Color Paper Strips Card

In Color Paper Strips Card

This In Color Paper Strips Card came about because I made bookmarks for my customers to go with the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I like to give them samples of the new In Colors with each catalog. Luckily, I am in an online Demonstrator group and someone usually makes up a document that we can use to make these bookmarks and other new catalog items to help our customers.

The way I made these bookmarks was to cut out 1/2″ x 11″ strips of each color of cardstock. Then I laid each strip across the whole printed page of the list of new In Colors. After all those were glued down, I cut the strips into 2″ wide pieces to make bookmarks. Each side of the printed cardstock needed 1/2″ cut off each side margin. That left these scrap strips with the new In Colors adhered from the edges of the printed page. It gave me the idea to lay them side by side, staggered to make a checkboard.

Bookmark Strips Card

I adhered these In Color strips onto a separate piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I trimmed that piece down where it needed to be to to make it fairly even. I used a card base of the new In Color Shy Shamrock and adhered this checkerboard to the card. I think it looks like an Easter card almost! The new In Colors do have a spring or Easter feel to them!

For a greeting, I used the new stamp set Simply Said, stamped in Shy Shamrock ink. It is cut out with one of the Unbounded Love Dies. For embellishment, I adhered a piece of Shy Shamrock 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the back of the greeting, going back and forth from top to bottom. Then it was adhered flat to the card. I also added some new 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots in Petunia Pop to each side of the greeting. I will say the ribbon is very pretty and soft. I think you will like it. Also, the In Color Resin Dots are pretty and flat which is great for mailing so we don’t have so much thickness.

I supposed you could make a woven card to look like this which we used to do in school a lot when I was a kid or at home for fun. That would be fun to do with these pretty new In Colors! Be sure to check them out in your catalog and put them on your Shopping List for May 1st when the new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live!

Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog Cover 2024

One of the best parts of my week was the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog arrived! This was the complimentary copy I got as a Demonstrator, but hopefully, the ones I ordered for my customers will arrive in a couple of weeks as well! You can’t see the inside yet, but here are some of the goodies I got in my Demonstrator pre-order that arrived yesterday!

New In Colors! At first glance I thought two of the colors looked exactly the same – Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock! But as I got used to them a little, I can tell they are different.

In Color Cardstock 2024-2026

Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (a returning color from years ago!), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, Shy Shamrock

In Color 2024-2026 Ribbon

The In Color ribbons are really nice, I think!

In Color 2024-2026 Embellishments

New In Color Embellishments AND the new Basic Beige Ribbon. (I forgot to order the cardstock and ink!)

Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper

The thing we always say about Stampin’ Up! designer series paper…It is SO much prettier in person than you think looking at the photos online! I wasn’t too thrilled looking at the online photo of this paper, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, but once I opened the package I thought it was really beautiful paper! You’ll like it! Very pretty colors!

Stamp Sets

The three stamp sets I ordered. I’m always looking for more greeting choices. I thought the Simply Said Stamp Set and the Unbounded Love Stamp Set had some useful choices. I just couldn’t pass up the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set (plus the dies and the decorative masks for coloring in the flowers!).

Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder

This embossing folder is a “WHOA!” It’s giant size! Looks rather interesting. I put a piece of cardstock inside so you could see the design.

Ephemera Pack

This is the Saying Something Ephemera Pack. You get two of the same sheets. There are three other ephemera packs to choose from! Great for scrapbooking but also for making easy cards!

Unbounded Love Dies

The Unbounded Love Dies! I think these will be useful dies to own for making frames and labels!

Layers of Beauty Dies

The Layers of Beauty Dies for that big bouquet of flowers that you can color with the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks which I didn’t photograph and haven’t played with yet.

I also got the new Stampin’ Blends in the In Colors, the Ink Pads, the 12″ x 12″ cardstock because sometimes you want a 12″ x 12″ piece of paper! Maybe there’s something else. And I do know I forgot to order some things but there is plenty of time to catch up! Now to find some time to play with all these pretty new things!

Only 3 more days until the Last Chance Sale begins at Stampin’ Up! on April 9th for the retiring products in the Annual Catalog and the Spring Mini! Not everything is discounted, of course, but a lot of things are in the Annual Catalog. Be sure to check it out as early as you can.
