As I continue to play with items from the NEW Catalog, I paired the “Exciting Times” Bundle with NEW “In Colors”! Each year when the NEW “In Colors” debut, I challenge myself to come up with a card design that features all five (5) of the NEW “In Colors”. As I’ve stated previously, I really like the NEW “In Colors”. HERE is my first post talking about the NEW “In Colors”. Very excited that my new ink pads in the NEW “In Colors” have arrived! So far, I am loving the design of these magnetic ink pads.
My folded card base is Basic White with a layer of Peaceful Pine and Barely Blush. Between the three (3) horizontal strips of card stock and the frame layering, I was able to incorporate the other remaining NEW “In Colors”. The greeting and frame image are from the “Exciting Times” stamp set. This set also has a coordinating punch that yields a rectangle with rounded edges. For some reason, I really like the simplicity of this “Exciting Times” bundle and I’m anxious to find more time to play around with the stamp images and punch.
To complete my card, I used two of the 2026-2028 “In Color Dots” in Barely Blush to add a bit of shine and interest. Lastly, I tied a knotted bow with the new “3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” in Peaceful Pine and attached with a “Mini Glue Dot”. This card was rather simple and I like how the NEW “In Colors” play well together.
Once again playing with the new “Phrases & Frames” Bundle. I am really enjoying working with these die frames and the different words in the stamp set. This is my second card with this bundle. HERE is my first card. Keep in mind, originally I did not have the NEW 2026-2028 “In Colors” yet. This means that I heat embossed my greeting in gold.
For this card, I chose two of the NEW 2026-2028 “In Colors” to work with, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine. Again, I also incorporated the NEW “Bloom Boutique” DSP. This particular print from the set has gold foil accents which coordinated with my gold heat embossed greeting. My card base is Barely Blush and then I used narrow strips of Peaceful Pine along both edges of the DSP. The rectangle frame with the oval window was die cut from one of the coordinating “Phrases & Frames Impressions” Dies in Peaceful Pine. The frame was lifted up with “Dimensionals”. I should mention that the new “Impressions” Dies require the NEW “Impressions Plate” to give you the best three-dimensional details to your die cuts. Actually, this is more like a flexible silicone mat.
To complete my card, I wrapped the upper left corner of my card with a piece of “3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” in Peaceful Pine and added a coordinating bow. Honestly, the beautiful “Bloom Boutique” DSP did the majority of the work for my card. I feel the gold heat embossed greeting added to this card as well. Simple and easy, just how I prefer! You can find these products when the NEW Catalog debuts May 5th about mid day.
The NEW upcoming “Phrases & Frames” Bundle meet the new 2026-2028 “In Color” Golden Glow! I also managed to incorporate one of the patterns from the upcoming “Bloom Boutique” DSP. Basicallly, I have started playing with some of the upcoming stamp/die bundles along with some new DSP prints.
My color palette is Basic White and Golden Glow. The “Bloom Boutique” DSP has several patterns with gold foil which really makes this DSP pop! Since I did not have my NEW 2026-2028 “In Color” Ink Pads yet, I chose to emboss the greeting in gold. I cut the large embossed rectangle and used the two long sides along the top and bottom edge of my piece of DSP. The panel around the greeting is raised up with “Dimensionals”.
To finish my card, I added a length of Golden Glow“3/8″ Bordered Ribbon” and knotted it at the top near the fold. This card was simple and turned out rather cute especially since I was working with limited supplies. This bundle and NEW DSP will be available when the new May-August Catalog launches on May 5th.
