Hello, thank you for stopping by. For this month’s Tech 4 Stampers blog hop we are bringing you everything In-colors. We have been tasked with producing a project using three of the new 2024-2026 In-colors. It really isn’t hard to create with these beautiful In-colors, the hard part is choosing which three.

I have chosen to use Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink and Summer Splash, pairing them with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set. This stamp set is one of my favourites that carried over to the current annual catalogue. The simple images are such fun and easy to colour.

Using three of the 2024-2026 In-colors

Trim a piece of Summer Splash cardstock to 14.4cm x 10cm. Using the leaf image and Summer Splash ink, randomly stamp over your cardstock. This gives you a subtle tone-on-tone background.

Using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, stamp your birds, branch and five sets of leaves onto Basic White cardstock. Add colour using Crumb Cake, Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends Combos. You may notice that I also, accidently, used Petunia Pop for the little bird’s wing. Sorry, LOL! I am afraid there are no dies for this set, but as the images are quite simple, they are easy to fussy cut. Leaving a small white border makes this even easier.

Add your branch flat to your Summer Splash layer. For added dimension, curve your images using a bone folder or similar. You can then adhere these to your layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I have added a double layer to some of the leaves for a bit more perspective.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock and die cut, using a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Fold a piece of Pretty In Pink Bordered Ribbon behind your sentiment and adhere to your card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish your card, add Summer Splash 2024-2026 In-colors Shimmer Gems around your leaves.

I do hope you I have given you some inspiration. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.
