Pals June Blog Hop: Playing with the NEW 2023-25 In Colors!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is the New 2023-2025 In Colors. We hope you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

We were all excited for the official unveiling of the new 2023-25 In Colors in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, and the anticipation did not disappoint. Five new colors, beautifully rich and muted! Which is your fave, or do you give them all equal love?

For today’s Blog Hop, I chose to focus on one particular In-Color as a fresh option for a neutral background color: Pebbled Path. I just LOVE how beautifully this color works with so many other colors — it’s not too gray, it’s not too brown, it’s not too taupe, it’s not too ANYTHING! It’s perfect! Here’s the card I built using Pebbled Path as my card base, along with Flirty Flamingo and Soft Seafoam:

Measurements: 

• Pebbled Path Card Base:  5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″
• 2023-25 In Color DSP for front of card:  3/4″ by 5 1/4″
• Exposed Brick Embossing Folder on Pebbled Path DSP:  3 ” by 5 1/4″
• Basic White cardstock for inside card panel: 5 1/4″ by 4″

This stamp set and dies bundle, Translucent Florals, will be available in the upcoming Mini Catalog, coming out later this summer. I thought it would be fun to create some projects to give a sneak peek to customers, and get myself acclimated. The beautiful stamps are different, in that they create a ‘translucent’ effect with a darker outline around the flowers and leaves. I just love it!

After creating the card base, I embossed the larger panel of cardstock with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder. I adhered to the front of the card, along with the strip of DSP in the same color. I then stamped my bouquet of translucent flowers on some scrap pieces of Basic White cardstock. The flowers are stamped in Flirty Flamingo, and leaves in Soft Seafoam, and the small accent piece in Pebbled Path.

I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and built my bouquet on the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals for some of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set and cut out using the Deckled Rectangles dies. I used the smallest die, and then cut it again to fit snugly around the sentiment. I popped on some In Color Dots, and I was done!

I hope you enjoyed my card using the new Translucent Florals and the lovely PEBBLED PATH — it’s so beautiful and fun to work with! All the products used to create this card can be found below. Click on any to start shopping with me!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 12th, when our theme will be CASE the Catalog, when the design team chooses a card from the new Annual Catalog and recreates it with their own creative twist. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
