11 card ideas using the new Stampin’ Up!® In Colors™ for 2023-2025 – and colour comparisons

Stampin Up UK In Colors 2023 card ideas

 
It’s time (finally!) for some sneak peeks of the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue. Yes I know I’m a few weeks behind many other demonstrators but I’ve had very little crafting time lately. 
 
Anyhoo... I really want to show you the FAB new In Colors™ so have made two sets of monochromatic cards to show them off, plus one card which brings four of the five colours together. Right at the bottom, I have created some colour comparison graphics to show how the new In Colors™look against Stampin’ Up!® colours past and present.

Stampin' Up! card ideas using the silhouette technique

Stampin up UK Silhouette technique card idea
 
Here’s a fun technique which doesn’t require any special equipment – and can help you get more mileage out of your Stampin’ Up!® stamps.
 
It’s called the silhouette stamping technique and is so simple but is often overlooked.
All you do is stamp any outline image in black, then colour it in... black. This creates a silhouette and gives you a whole new look for your stamped image.
