I’m sure you have heard by now that we have new In-Colors! The 2018-2020 In-Colors are awesome! They will be available to all in the up coming annual catalog (June 2) There are 5 new colors which are…Pineapple Punch (my favorite), Blueberry Bushel, Grapefruit Grove(the most perfect peach), Call me Clover, and Lovely Lipstick . I’m saying that Pineapple Punch is my favorite and it is….I was so hoping for a bright Sunny yellow! And boy did Stampin’ Up! deliver!!! It is awesome. The other 4 colors are just as amazing!!!
In May, there will be a special pre-release bundle available to all! Share What You Love Bundle will include the Love What You Do stamp set from the up coming Annual Catalog!
Love What You Do Stamp Set
The bundle also includes designer series paper, ink, and embellishments. Also available are the 2018 In-Color ink pads!! So, I decided to combine the Love What You Do stamp set and the new In-Colors for a little parade of sorts.
Lovely Lipstick is a beautiful pink red that will make your heart skip a beat!!! It is such a beautiful rich pink red and will be perfect for flowers, backgrounds, and so much more!
This is the easiest card I have ever made! The background stamp just lends itself to a very clean style!
The Background wash of color was stamped with Lovely Lipstick .
Then using Basic Black .I stamped the flower and sentiment .
The final step waturess to add a few Metallic Enamel Shapes
From here, I played with the card design to step it up a bit! Also in each of following cards features the Diagonal Stripe Background Stamp .
Diagonal Stripe Background Stamp
If you have not gotten this stamp yet. You defiantly need to grab it up before it is gone! It will not be returning in the up-coming catalog . So go get it now! I promise you will use it all the time!!
The card was turned on its side and a strip from the Diagonal Stripe was added.
The washed background was Stamped with Blueberry Bushel by stamping off once then stamping onto the paper
The flower and sentiment were stamped at full strength .
The final step was to add a bow using the Whisper White twine.
Yet again, I turned the design on its side
The wash background was stamped with Call Me Clover as well as the Diagonal Stripe
The sentiment and flower were stamped with Basic Black ink
Finally, adding a combination one new twine in the Share What You Love embellishment kit and Whisper White twine
One of my absolutely favorite color combinations is yellow and blue….or is it blue and yellow. Anyway, before I degrees…I just had to share how awesome Blueberry Bushel and Pineapple Punch are together
The wash background was stamped with Pineapple Punch
The Diagonal Stripe, sentiment, and flower were all stamped with Blueberry Bushel
The final touch was adding a few Metallic Enamel Shapes
The last but defiantly not least is Grapefruit Grove. It is just a happy peachy orange! I’m not a huge fan of oranges….But, I sure do love this color! It also, looks classic paired with Blueberry Bushel
The wash background was stamped with Grapefruit Grove
The Diagonal Stripe, sentiment, and flower were stamped with Blueberry Bushel
The final step was adding some twine. The Grapefruit Grove twine is from the Natures Twine Set .(Available in Up Coming Annual Catalog) This twine is a stiffer twine.
I hope you enjoyed this little introduction to the New 2018-2020 In-Colors.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Jennifer Spiller at Westside Paper Creations or may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.
Bon Voyage 2016-2018 In-Colors you will be missed
I have so enjoyed using these beautiful In-Colors. In so many ways, I’m kinda sad to see them go…on the other had I am super excited about all the New Colors coming soon in the Annual Catalog . More about that on another day! Today, we are saying Bon Voyage to the retiring In-Colors, which includes Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum, and Peekaboo Peach. Flirty Flimango is also part of this color family. But, it is staying around for a few more years! Yeppie for that!! I decided that the Faux Batik technique would be perfect to show off the beauty of this In-Color collection . I just pulled out a bunch of stamp sets and started playing with the technique .Then when I was finished I made a few cards out of the panels. This technique works best with stamps that have more of a solid image. If you would like to know more about Faux Batik check out this post here.
The colors used for the Faux Batik effect are Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum
The stamps came from Petal Passion, Painted Harvest, and Oh So Eclectic stamp sets
I liked the Faux Batik so much I decided to keep the card quite simple so it could shine
The silver thread and copper thread adds a little texture without taking away from the background
The Faux Batik effect was created by
Stamping and heat embossing images onto tissue paper
Layering the tissue paper over a piece of Shimmery White paper .
Using a baby wipe sponge color onto the tissue paper.
The color will transfer to the paper everywhere you add ink except in the embossed areas .
To learn more about the Faux Batik technique, check out this post! To see other Faux Batik cards click here and here
This background is made with Dapper Denim and three different sizes of circles. One from Waterfront , One from Oh So Eclectic, and One from Painted Harvest
Where you can see the ink went over some circles. That is because I layered my embossed tissue paper to create the effect .
The word celebrate is layered up by stacking three Dapper Denim one Peekaboo Peach on top. The adhesive sheets makes this process super easy
These little trees from the Waterfront set are perfect for the Faux Batik technique!
This time I used Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach to creat the Batik effect
After it dried, the trees were cut out with the Stiched Shapes Dies
Layering with crumb cake and the Seaside Embossing Folder
The dollie was sponged with both Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach

I hope each of you are having a wonderful Sunday Afternoon . I will be cleaning up a bit this afternoon. The kitchen looks like a tornado hit it. So that’s definitely on the to-do list. Then getting some cards together to send out next week. It is rainy here today, which lends itself greatly to staying dry and creating! Which is what I have been doing most of the day! Yesterday, was lovely here as we spent the afternoon at St. Bernhard in Cullman at their annual Blooming Festival.
Remember to be creative to be creative it is good for the soul
