We have such beautiful new In Colors for 2021 - 23! I decided to use them all making my May customer thank you cards. I used the Color and Contour bundle - stamps and dies (Scalloped Contour Dies) add in the lovely Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper, 21-23 In Color blends and ribbon and you have happy mail!

I began by scoring my cardstock at 5 1/2" and cutting at 4 1/4" so I have 2 cards of each new In Color - Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, and Soft Succulent - 5 new yummy colors! 

I always like to pull my supplies out and snap a picture - it inspires me! 


Layer 1 is cut from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper using the Scalloped Contour Die; adhere this to your card front using your favorite adhesive. 

 The focal piece for the front is Basic White cardstock cut with the second largest die in the Scalloped Contour set. While I had had the DSP and dies handy, I cut a 3/4" X 4" strip for the inside of the card and a 3/4" X 5 3/4" strip for the front of the envelope. I used the edge die to cut stitched scallops onto the strips. I also cut a piece for the envelope flap.

Cut the inside pieces of Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/8" X 5 3/8", adhere the DSP strip at the bottom and adhere to the inside of your card. Adhere the DSP strips to your envelope.








Now all that's left is to create your focal piece. Stamp the large flower onto the front of the Basic White using Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Use the fill in stamp to add color to the flower in the coordinating color as your card base; next stamp the sentiment with this ink color. Remember, this is not an exact fit but is designed to look a bit like watercolor. 

I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to adhere the focal point to the card. I cut the sheet into 4 pieces. 


Time to embellish - this is my favorite part! I added a bow onto the flower using the same color as the cardbase and then added gems. For the Pale Papaya card and the Soft Succulent Card I used the Genial Gems and for the other cards I colored the clear Epoxy Essentials with my dark Stampin' Blends.


I hope you enjoyed yourself on my blog and know you will find many more projects to inspire you.
