Happy Thursday, y'all! Hello and welcome to the Global Creative INKspirations Blog Hop! You are either starting here or coming from the blog of my friend, Danielle. This month we are sharing some inspiration with you to get you excited about the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that goes LIVE in five days on May 4, 2021!!!
Isn't this catalog cover amazing?!?! If you haven't been able to see the inside of this publication, yet, believe me, it will be worth the wait once you do. The inside is just as amazing as the cover! And with the release of a new Annual Catalogs there are always new In Colors... and the 2021-2023 In Colors are already loved by so many!
Today's Projects
Inspiration is everywhere. I was inspired by Artisan Design Team Member Tammy Wilson's introduction of the 2021-2023 In Colors and just had to CAS(e) her amazing cards. Each of my customers will be receiving one of these cards along with the swatch bookmark which will help them envision the other colors in their own homes.
Project Details
The Thick Basic White card bases were created as vertical side folding cards. A quick way to do this for multiples is to take a piece of cardstock align it vertically on your paper trimmer at 4-1/4" and score all the way down being sure to run the scoring blade up and down several times to get a good impression. Flip the sheet horizontally, aligning at 5-1/2" and cut. Fold at the score lines and burnish with a bone folder for a crisp fold. Now you have two card bases.
Multiple Thick Basic White card layers were created measuring 3-3/4" x 5". Each In Color was applied to the center of the card layer with a Blending Brush (sponge daubers or sponges would also work) in an oval motion. Continue to apply color multiple times until the desired shade is achieved. The Quiet Meadow phrase was randomly stamped on the card layer. Ink was flicked onto the card layer using the brush tip of the In Colors Stampin' Write Markers and the lid. The Tasteful Textures embossing folder was used for a finishing touch to the card layer.
The Meadow Dies were used to die cut the floral stem from Thick Basic White cardstock. The tags were die cut after the sentiment was white heat embossed on scraps of each In Color. You will love the tag die as much as I do, I am sure! TIP: Use the die as a guide for the width of the scrap that you will need. You will want to remember the direction the tag will be hanging prior to diecutting the sentiment. The white twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack was looped onto the tag and threaded through the stem.
The wildflower was adhered with random dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The tag was adhered with a Mini Glue Dot. The embossed panel was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I am so loving these new colors that I am having trouble finding a favorite at the moment. Which color is your favorite?!?
