Today’s card features one of the new In Colors – Peach Parfait. As you can see from the colour comparison below the In Colors this year are all unique. A wide variety of colours, the In Colors will now be available to purchase for two years. You can choose from In Colors products including ink pads, cardstock, markers, ribbon and designer series papers.
To show off the Peach Parfait, I used only white accents with the Peach Parfait for this card. The stamp set is Watercolor Trio. I am really going to miss this set from the Summer Mini catalogue since it is not in the next Idea Book & Catalogue.

Cajun Craze is a new Regals Collection color. I wasn’t sure that I would like this colour but I really do. I can see both red and rust in Cajun Craze. And as you can see by the colour comparison below, this is going to be a fabulous colour for Autumn.
And today’s card is real quick and easy one. By using layers of punches, it was fast to create.
I stamped the large circle image from Artistic Etchings three times and punched with various circle punches – 1-3/4″, 1″ and 1/2″. I then punched circles of Cajun Craze cardstock in slightly larger sizes – 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle, 1-1/4″ and 3/4″ circles and layered with stampin’ dimensionals.
I added a greeting from Thank You Kindly to the Whisper White cardstock with Cajun Craze ink and layered it onto a Cajun Craze card. On top of that, I added a second layer of Cajun Craze cardstock topped with Whisper White cardstock that was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder for the Big Shot. I coloured a length of Whisper White satin ribbon with the Cajun Craze ink pad to finish the card. See this post for instructions on dyeing the ribbon.
Although this card would look good in any colour, I think the Cajun Craze was a good choice.
And don’t forget, you can order Cajun Craze and all the other new catalogue products starting July 1st at 2 pm Eastern, Noon Mountain and 11 am Pacific. I can’t wait!

Pink Pirouette is another colour that is returning to Stampin’ Up! after previosuly being an In Color. It is such a pretty colour and so soft that it needed a stronger colour to work with it. I paired it here with Basic Gray.
This card did not turn out the way I pictured it before I stamped it. The end result is much more elegant and delicate than I had imagined. In fact, as I was finishing it up hubby walked by and said “it needs pearls”. And he was right. The brads I was adding would not have achieved this same graceful look.
The card itself is Basic Gray and I corner rounded the four corners to soften the card up a bit. The layer of Whisper White is 1/2″ smaller than the Basic Gray card – 5″ x 3-3/4″ and the Pink Pirouette layer is 1/4″ smaller than the Whisper White – 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″.
I stamped the largest Pink Pirouette piece of cardstock with the Belle Toile background stamp and Basic Gray ink. I added a scallop edge punched border to layers of cardstock in the same colours – Basic Gray, Whisper White and Pink Pirouette and tied a knotted length of Basic Gray satin ribbon around it.
The greeting is from the new stamp set, Perfect Punches. This greeting set is designed to work with the various Stampin’ Up! punches. I stamped it twice – once in Basic Gray and once in Pink Pirouette. The Pink Pirouette was punched with the Scallop Oval and the Basic Gray with the small oval punch. The two were layered with stampin’ dimensionals.
I think this would be a great card for a wedding! I am so glad that Pink Pirouette is back and I can’t wait to show you more cards using the colour.

Poppy Parade is another one of this years new In Colors. Don’t you love it?
Although I would consider Poppy Parade a red it has a definite hint of orange to it as well. Since it is such a vibrant colour, I knew it would pair well with the Newsprint designer series paper that will be in the next catalogue. These papers are really neat – dictionary pages, old catalogues, vintage maps, music and more. And do you wanna know a secret? The new catalogue has coordinating sets and accessories for this vintage looking paper. The Newsprint designer series paper is Basic Black and Very Vanilla so I choose to use only those colours with Poppy Parade for this card.
To make this card, I Iayered a 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″ piece of Newsprint paper onto 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″ Basic Black cardstock. I wrapped this piece with Basic Black satin ribbon and Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon tying a small knot in the grosgrain.
I made the daisy with the Daisies #2 die for the Big Shot in layers of Basic Black, Poppy Parade and Newsprint paper. To hold the flower together, I added a 5/8″ Vanilla jumbo brad to the center.
After adding a greeting in Basic Black ink on Newsprint paper and punching with the Modern Label punch, I layered onto a larger piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and added a 5/16″ vanilla jumbo brad.
Finally, I layered Poppy Parade cardstock onto a Basic Black card and assembled the pieces. A really easy card!
This card has more of a shabby chic look to it than most of my cards. Do you like it? Please leave a comment and let me know.

Pear Pizzazz in one of five new In Colors that Stampin’ Up! is introducing in the upcoming catalogue. These new In Colors will be available for two years.
Pear Pizzazz products include a Classic ink pad and refill as well as cardstock and a stitched-poly ribbon. It is also used in a couple of the new designer series papers like Greenhousa Gala that I used for this card.
To make this card I cut three 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ strips of the Pear Pizzazz patterned paper from Greenhouse Gala. I layered the strips onto Whisper White cardstock and then onto another piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
A length of Whisper White Organza ribbon was adhered around the cardstock and a 1/4″ wide piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock was glued on top. Three white 5/16″ jumbo brads were inserted in the bottom left corner and the cardstock layers were glued onto a Whisper White card.
Finally I stamped one of the flower images from the Friends Never Fade stamp set in Pear Pizzazz and punched it out with the 1-3/8″ circle punch. I layered the stamped piece onto a 1-3/4″ circle of Pear Pizzazz and a 2-3/8″ punched scallop circle of Whisper White.
