Quiet Meadow Meets Glimmer Paper
The Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow dies are perfectly suited to vintage styled cards and to collage techniques. That’s the reason I bought it! But what happens when it meets Glimmer Paper? This.
These cards just sort of happened. The 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper is ombre (and beautiful, said the girl who doesn’t normally use a lot of glimmer and glitter). I wanted to see what it looked like as a die cut and I had this stamp set and dies out. Since the flowers are long-stemmed, I thought they would show the ombre effects well. So I cut a few. Then I started playing with them. Then I made this card.

New In Colors with Butterfly Brilliance
Here’s another card to show off the new In Colors, this time with one of my favorites, the Butterfly Brilliance stamp and the Brilliant Wings dies. Because I wanted to use my new Stampin’ Blends in the 2022-2024 In Colors, the butterflies seemed like a good way to use them all at once.

Playing with the 2022-2024 In Colors
I’ve been having fun making a few sampler cards with the new 2022-2024 In Colors from Stampin’ Up! These colors just make me happy, they are so bright and pretty! And they play well together. For these two cards, I featured the In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP). I like to make a few cards with all five colors together, and this is a great way to do that.
My first card is a great card sketch for using DSP scraps. Although I did cut these at 1″ x 4″ to start. This card is also a good way to introduce the 2022-2024 In Color names. From left to right: Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Starry Sky.
I chose Gray Granite for my card base and also cut a card front at 4″ x 5-1/4″ in the same color. I started by playing around with the strips until I found a color combination and a pattern combination that I liked. Then I cut the ends at different angles and slightly different lengths. After gluing them in place, I wrapped the front piece with the Tahitian Tide baker’s twine.
