Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
To show off the 2024-2026 In Colors, I used a pencil from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used its pencil die for cutting. After cutting the pencils, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends in the five In Colors: Shy Shamrock, Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, and Summer Splash.
Pocketful of Pencils
We actually have a “surprise,” sixth, new color this year, Basic Beige. I used this color for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with a pattern of Country Lace Designer Paper in Basic Beige, cut with the largest Perennial Postage die.
Next, I used the medium Pocket Thoughts Die to cut a pocket from Country Lace Designer Paper. To add distinction to the pocket, I cut a 3/4″ piece of DSP, and glued it to the top.
Prior to gluing the pocket to the card front, I glued the pencils inside. The pocket has score lines for folding, and forms a natural pocket when glued. Really cool!
“Thank you” is from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, stamped in Basic Beige Ink, for subtlety. To complete my design, I added In Color Shimmer Gems in each of the five colors.
Thank you for visiting!
