Coast to Coast Creators Hop - Introducing the 2026-2028 In-colors!

     Middle of the month so it's time for our team hop. We're a few days delayed but better late than never! We are introducing the NEW 2026 - 2028 In-Colors!!

I won't lie, when I first saw a sneak peak of these, I was really on the fence about them, but now that they are in my craft space, I LOVE them! Peaceful Pine is my new happy green!

This split strip DSP focused card design has been all over Instagram so I though I would finally give it a try.  I was inspired by a card I had seen done by Heidi Collins but in the end, my design is nothing like hers, lol!

This card was meant to be landscape so you know, I definitely didn't end up where I thought I would!

The strips are cut 3/4" or 1/2" wide and 3" in length.  I adhered them to the bottom half of a piece of Peaceful Pine Two Tone Cardstock (lighter side). I then added adhesive strips to what was hanging over the edge, cut that off and added it to the top of the same piece of cardstock.  I felt it needed something, so added a strip of coordinating ribbon to the one edge.

Next I brought our the Balloon Festoon Bundle and got to work. I stamped a balloon on Basic White and the die cut two more balloons from the Two Tone Cardstock. I then stamped on these and added the balloon detailing with the NEW white gel pen.  

The die cut for the balloon strings is amazing and so I added one to each balloon. They were getting lost on the DSP but nothing a circle die cut from vellum couldn't fix!

Add in a heat embossed greeting and the coordinating In-Color Dots and I couldn't be more happy with how this card ended up!

Here are a few other cards I have made with 3 of the other In-Colors. Only colour I haven't showcased here is Barely Blush. I just ran out of time!

I can't wait to see how the rest of the team created with these colours!  Be sure to hop around and check them all out!
