Here’s your FAB (Friends Across Borders) post to celebrate some of the new In Colours.

From Connie’s Craft Studio . . .

Have you had a chance to play with the new In Colours yet? They are marvelous. I think this is the first time I have fallen in love with all 5 colours as soon as I got them. I seem to always like the In Colours, but some more than others, and sometimes they have to grow on me. This year though, I loved them all right away.

Pretty Patterns

This is the 2022-2024 In Colour 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. There are 4 fun patterns in each of the 5 In Colours, and I have used some of these for my cards today.

This card features Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide, along with a bit of So Saffron. I love how all the new In Colours work well together, and I also love how easily they mix in with our existing colours.

Bring on the Embellishments!

I went all out decorating this card, using Wink of Stella on my ladybugs, colouring some Clear Rhinestones with my Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends, and some Linen Thread to tie it all together!

For this card I used Starry Sky and Parakeet Party. I love these two colours together, but I think Parakeet Party is easy to combine with almost any other colour. It is wonderful and bright and makes everything cheery. I die cut butterflies with the Brilliant Wings Dies, and added some Clear Rhinestones that I coloured with my Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blend. I added some Metallic Woven Ribbon in Starry Sky for some extra sparkle.

Here’s a Tip

Using your Stampin’ Blends to colour Clear Rhinestone Basic Gems means you can have colour coordinated gems in any colour you want. Use the fine tip end to colour the gems. The brush tip is softer and colouring on gems that can have sharp edges can damage the brush tip.
