I am so excited to be continuing so let's get into Week 1!
For week 1 we are going to look at all 5 of the new In Colors!
Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Fresh Freesia! All gorgeous colours and I am going to have fun playing with these over the next 2 years.
So it is my it is my Dad's 80th Birthday today and I wanted to make him a card. At the moment he is not able to move around very well as he is on crutches for a leg injury so I thought the stamp set A Cut Above would be perfect for him. Take a load off, put your feet up and have a bit of a relax Dad! The challenge was how to incorporate all 5 In Colors into 1 card.
Well bring on the Stampin' blends and some of the gorgeous Loose Flower Flourishes that are in 3 of the In Colors and there you have it. All 5 In Colors in 1 card!

So for this card I have used the Soft Succulent card base and cut an extra layer of Soft Succulent which I have stamped the cloud from the "A Cut Above" stamp set in Soft Succulent. I have also stamped the Happy Birthday onto Soft Succulent in Evening Evergreen and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies.
Now for the main event our fun loving relaxed Dad/Grandad in my case!
I don't know about you but I could do with a bit of sun and relaxing right now but I am sure my Dad will love his card and he does love a peachy looking shirt so I think he will like Pale Papaya.
I really loved this new Quiet Meadow Bundle when I saw it and I thought it was perfect for this simple card to show off these gorgeous new In Colours.
So for these set of cards I have them on a card base of Thick Basic White and then a mat layer of Regular Basic White which I have stamped the speckle stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Evening Evergreen in the background.
For each of the cards I have used the Meadow dies from the Quiet Meadows Bundle to cut out some of the flower and greenery sprigs in gold foil and vellum card stock.
To bring in the pop of colour each flower has been coloured with the Stampin' Blends in the new In Colors in Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia and the centre of the flower in Soft Suede light and dark. Under each flower which I fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals, the new In Color open weave ribbon has been adhered. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and I have stamped that in Evening Evergreen and used the Meadow dies to cut it out.
These were so much fun to make and I can see that I will be making lots of cards using the Quiet Meadow Bundle.

Ok so as we were on the In Color challenge I went for it and the trees are also an In Color. The trunk is Cinnamon Cider in both light and dark blends. The leaves I have used both Soft Succulent and Evening evergreen as well as I have used them for the grass. Now you can see the Loose Flower Flourishes in Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. I was away on the weekend (before our lock down) when I made this card and I permanently borrowed the flowers from a friend who had them as I had not purchased them yet but I am going to as they are just so gorgeous!
Now the shirt is Pale Papaya as well and his pillow is Soft Succulent and to round off all things In Color the sun is Bumblebee. He was fun to colour.
I don't know about you but I could do with a bit of sun and relaxing right now but I am sure my Dad will love his card and he does love a peachy looking shirt so I think he will like Pale Papaya.
Now as I had already met the challenge of putting all 5 new In Colors on one card I played around with them a bit more and made 3 other cards but Soft Succulent missed out this time.
