Cards and Tags using New Stampin’ Up! In Colours

Hello Everyone,

It is so exciting to be able to use these fabulous new Stampin’ Up! In Colours!

These are earthier tones than we have had in recent years and I can see Pebbled Path being a versatile neutral.

In Colour products are not yet available to customers, these will launch when the new catalogue goes live in May. If just can’t wait, you can join Stampin’ Up! now and add them to a Starter Kit!

For today’s project, I am using the Around the Bend stamps and dies.

Here is Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path.

You can see how I made these cards in my video tutorial …

Circle punches are available as online exclusives and layer together perfectly.

Here is Copper Clay and Wild Wheat.

And finally, this is Boho Blue.

I think they look great together as a collection!

The coordinating embellishments are really pretty and catch the light so well.

Tailor Made Tags dies were used for these additional elements.

I was able to make the card and two tags from a ingle A4 sheet of cardstock with just a few scraps left over!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
