Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s cards feature Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and coordinating colors from the Inked Botanical Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals 6x6 Designer Series Paper-jeanie Stark StampinUp
Inked Botanicals 6×6 Designer Series Paper
Coordinating Colors: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pool Party

This paper was designed by pressing hand-inked flowers onto the paper, giving it a beautiful textured, artistic effect. The spectrum of colors, botanical designs, and patterns featured in this paper are great for any season and ideal for all-occasion projects to create year round! Just pair with the greeting and embellishments of your choice to say hello, wish happy birthday, or send a thank you note in simplicity or finesse—the choice is yours!

I love working with 6×6 paper and trying to use it all without any waste.  Today’s cards do just that! I had fun trying different color combinations using the pretty patterns.

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Front Designer Series Paper: 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Coordinating cardstock layer: Cut 2 @ 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • Inside Very Vanilla: 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • DSP inside: 1″ x 3 3/4″
  • DSP envelope: 2 1/4 x 6

Each card uses 1 sheet of 6×6 DSP. Here’s how to cut the DSP with no waste:
First cut: 3 3/4 x 6 (leaves 2 1/4 x 6 for envelope)
Second cut: Cut 3 3/4 x 6 piece so it measures 3 3/4 x 5 (leaves  1 x 3 3/4 piece for inside card)
*You can also cut the 3 3/4 x 5 piece again and flip one piece over to show both patterns like I did for the last card.

*Note- If your pattern is directional you will need to cut a little different for a horizontal card.

I used the Something Fancy Dies for the sentiment layers on the front of the cards.

You can create beautifully elegant tags and labels for all your projects with the Something Fancy Dies! These dies coordinate with the Something Fancy Stamp set; however, they work well with many different stamp sets. (I used the Biggest Wish stamp set for 3 of today’s cards.) This die set is packed with versatile labels and shapes in several sizes, so you are sure to get the most use out of this set. Check it out!

Celebrate With Me – Retiring In Colors

Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my 10th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator this month. Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter my 10 Days of Giveaways!

Here’s my original project that provided the inspiration for today’s card…the 2018-2020 In Colors.
Stampin' Up! Stitched Labels Dies and 2018-2020 In Color fun fold card ideas for friend, get well, thank you, birthday, and more - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold was one of the cards that was included in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit To Go back in May 2020. I always include at least one fun fold card in each of my monthly kits. I made 5 different versions to show the versatility of my card kits.  I create them so that you can use any stamp set you already have to add a sentiment.  There’s so many possibilities for adding the flower depending on whatever sentiment you use. All you have to do it stamp and adhere! My card kits include everything you need to create…all cut, scored, and ready to assemble. Plus you can refer to the tutorials to create more on your own!

Here’s a look at each of the 2021-2023 In Colors (which will be retiring in April).

*HERE’S A QUICK TIP – I cut my DSP so I could get two cards and envelopes from each 6×6 sheet. First I cut my 6×6 piece in half to get 2 – 3 x 6 pieces. Then I cut one 3×6 piece in half to get 2 -3×3 card fronts. I cut the other 3×6 piece in half to get 2- 1 1/2 x 6 pieces for the envelope.  I added a 1/4″ strip of cardstock to the envelope first then added the DSP 1/4″ below that and trimmed to fit. No waste and a fun coordinated look!

Do you remember Highlights magazine? I loved doing the “Spot the Difference” page as a kid! Can you spot the difference in one of my cards today?  Leave a comment below and let me know what you think of the new In Colors and Tea Boutique DSP! (Be sure to check back to see my coordinating customer gifts for this month!)
