Today I have three more cards from a recent Demonstrator swap I participated in, and these cards use the new Soft Succulent In Color from the 2021-2023 In Color collection.  These monochromatic cards demonstrate techniques to help you quickly create cards with minimum tools and colors.  Of course, I love the florals, .  Plus, I'm so happy to see the center card which showcases several of the prints in  the 2021-2023 In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper Pack.  This is a great use of the remaining pieces when you've used a 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper to create a 5-1/2 X 4" card layer.  These remaining 1/2" strips use up your scraps while creating a colorful, fun card.   Take a look at the closeups of each card to see the enjoyable details each designer  added to their card.  Then, be sure to add Soft Succulent inks, papers, ribbons and accessories to your next Stampin' Up! order.  If you haven't tried the new In Color cardstock, you can order an assortment package of just a few sheets of each of the new In Color.  Then pick your favorite colors and order a full pack of the color(s) you like the most from the new In Color collection. 

      

The card, below, uses a number of different prints from the 6" X 6"  In Color Designer Series Paper Pack along with stripes of the Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum from the !2" X 12" Shimmer Vellum In Color pack.  The basecard is Soft Succulent, then a layer of Basic White Cardstock dry embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.  Then another layer of Soft Succulent, and then the image layer is another layer of Basic White Cardstock.  The Designer Series Papers and the Shimmer Vellum are 1/2" wide strips, layered across the face of the card.  The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  The sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent on the Basic White Cardstock.  Accents include different size of the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.       

 

This next card, below, created by Sandy Haynes, uses the Quiet Meadow Bundle and the layers are created using the Scalloped Contours Dies.  The basecard is Soft Succulent.  The image layer is Basic White.  The sentiment is also from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set, and it is stamped in Soft Succulent ink.  The floral stamped image is from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and die cut using the Penned Flowers Dies.  A second die cut of the floral is die cut in Soft Succulent Cardstock, and it is layered slightly offset from the stamped floral image.  Then a few of the Epoxy Essentials were added.  What a masterful use of die cuts on this card!

 

This card, below, created by Anna Quattrin, uses a double stamping to create 3 - dimensional images.  The basecard is Thick Basic White.  Then a layer of Soft Succulent dry embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.  Then a Basic White rectangle is die cut using the Rectangle stitched Dies.  An image layer of Soft Succulent is laid inside the Basic White rectangle.  The flowers were first stamped in Evening Evergreen ink.  Then the image was slightly offset and stamped in Versamark ink.  The Versamark ink was covered with White Embossing Powder and set using the Heat tool.    A bow using the Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon is a lovely touch on the corner of the image layer.   

Card swaps are a great way to get your creative juices flowing.  Like the previous posts of In Color swap cards, these cards showcase the different looks you can create  with just one of the In Colors, Die Cuts, and Basic White. This is a color that reminds me nature... what you see when you're hiking, or camping.

Fun card creations using Pale Papaya, a new In Color from Stampin' Up!

     

• Pale Papaya Monochromatic Greeting Cards
• Join now, purchase your Mini catalog items at a discount, beginning July 1
• Last week to earn additional $25 in Stampin' Rewards

Here are a few more monochromatic cards from the Demonstrator Swap I've been showcasing this week.  Today I 'm showing several monochromatic cards from demonstrator friends featuring  the new In Color, Pale Papaya.   These cards feature Pale Papaya with Basic White and Basic Black accents.  Stampin' Up! did a fabulous job in selecting the 5 new In Colors for the next two years.  Pale Papaya is among my top two.  My favorite is actually Fresh Freesia.  Take a look at the closeups of each card to see the amazing details each designer lovely added to their card.  Then, be sure to add Pale Papaya inks, papers, ribbons and accessories to your next Stampin' Up! order.  If you haven't tried the new In Color cardstock, you can order an assortment package of just a few sheets of each of the new In Color.  Then pick your favorite colors and order a full pack of the color(s) you like the most from the new In Color collection. 

      

The card below was created by a Demonstrator, Cathy Peck.  She used the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set for her floral images and sentiment.  She used one of the prnts from the Hand-Penned 12" x 12" designer Series Papers as a layer over Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The image layer is matted Pal Papaya, and the images from the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set are stamped in Pale Papaya ink.  The sentiment from this set is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Accents on the card include Pale Papaya 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and sequins from the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins package.   Charming card, Cathy!

This next card, below, created by Annmarie Turner, uses the Quiet Meadow Bundle and the layers are created using the Scalloped Contours Dies.  The basecard is Thick Basic White.  Then a layer of Basic Black, and a scalloped layer of Pale Papaya.  Then the Basic White  image layer is also die cut using on the of the Scalloped Contours Die -- scallops and stitching in one die cut!  The floral image in Basic Black uses one of the dies from the Meadow Dies.  The butterfly and sentiment label are also from the Meadow Dies and are die cut from Pale Papaya.  The sentiment label is die cut from Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The butterfly is die cut from Pale Papaya Shimmer Vellum backed by a second butterfly in Pale Papaya cardstock.  The butterfly includes a Genial Gem in the center.    What a attractive card for a friend or family member to receive.

This card, below, created by Jennifer Arent, uses a combination of the All Squared Away Stamp Set and the Floral Squares Dies to create this subtle, yet beautiful card.  She used a Pale Papaya basecard.  Then a layer of one of the Pale Papaya prints from the Hand-Penned 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  The sentiments are stamped in Pale Papaya Ink.  The Floral Squares Dies were used to create the famed floral in the center of the card using Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The layer behind the die cut flower was created using one of the stamps from the All Squared Away Stamp Set. The die cut flower includes a Genial Gem accent, and a Pale Papaya bow completes this whimsical card.  I completely missed this bundle in the catalog, and will need to add it to my next order!

Finally, this is the card I swapped using Pale Papaya.  Full details for creating this card are available in my recent post.
