Hello, and welcome back for another awesome Color Fusers blog hop!

Today I am showcasing one of the beautiful new product suites from the upcoming 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, called In Good Taste. This catalog launches in 2 days! The suite features beautiful stamped images with heartwarming sentiments, amazing dies, a perfect new embossing folder, and really cool photorealistic designer paper.
My favorite item in the bundle is the Tasteful Label die set, which contains 10 different sizes and shapes of labels. There is a shape and size for just about everything, and some even have decorative edges. And the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder will be the perfect grab when you just need a little texture.

The stamp set has great sentiments, and the embossing folder adds the perfect subtle touch! I will use both a ton!

Stampin' Tip: Making custom ribbon is a snap with white ribbon and Blends Markers. For this card, I colored white ribbon, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Pack with a Light Pool Party Blends Marker. It dries quite quickly. Make a rainbow of colors using any white ribbon and your Blends markers to customize your projects!

To create this card:
- cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Petal Pink card base and score at 4 1/4"
- Cut a front layer of Petal Pink cardstock 3 3/4" x 5"
- Cut a strip of Pool Party cardstock 1" x 4 1/2"
- die cut a Whisper White label large enough for your sentiment
Stamp random background on Petal Pink front layer in Petal Pink ink. Stamp twice for each time you ink. Adhere to card front with dimensionals. Emboss Pool Party strip with Tasteful Textures embossing folder, trim banner ends, and adhere to card front. Stamp two feathers in Pool Party ink, fussy cut, and adhere to card front. Stamp flower in Melon Mambo ink on Vellum Cardstock, let dry, fussy cut, and adhere to card front. Color ribbon with a Pool Party Blends Marker, tie a bow, and adhere to card front with a glue dot. Embellish with gold glitter dots.

Welcome back to yet another awesome Color Fusers blog hop! We hop together the first Monday of each month bringing you a color challenge. This month, we are using 2 of the retiring In Colors, Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch.

This year's retiring In Colors have been, collectively, my favorite collection ever created by Stampin' Up!. I love how bold and bright they are. And in 4 short weeks, they will be gone.
Have you grabbed your favorites?
Don't wait!
In Color items are already selling out, as Stampin' Up! has announced the 2020 retiring products, which include these In Colors…the ink pads and any other products in these colors.

Retiring In Colors: Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch
Along with these In Colors, today's project also features the retiring Love You To Pieces stamp set and the coordinating Puzzle Pieces dies. This bundle was on my first order when it debuted, so it's only fitting it is one of my farewell projects.

This great background was made with one of my go-to embossing folders, the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

It was even fun to add the heart detail to the inside.

- Cut a 4 1/4" x 11" Night of Navy card base, scored at 5 1/2"
- Cut a 3 3/4" x 5" Call Me Clover cardstock layer
- Cut a 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" Whisper White cardstock layer, emboss with the Subtle 3D embossing folder

- Die cut a large Whisper White stitched oval for the sentiment
- Die cut Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch puzzle pieces
Layer the embossed Whisper White layer onto the Call Me Clover layer, and adhere to card front with dimensionals. Stamp sentiment on stitched oval in Night of Navy ink. Stamp hearts over sentiment in Pineapple Punch ink. Adhere sentiment oval onto scalloped oval, and adhere to card front with dimensionals. Stamp hearts onto puzzle pieces in matching ink. Add puzzle pieces to card front as desired. Cut a piece of Night of Navy twine, separate some of the layers, and tie a bow around one of the puzzle pieces.

Hop along and see the great projects we have this month!

For today's project, I had a lot of fun transforming a 3D die to make a flat card front. Look at the totes and purses which can be made with this die set. Aren't they adorable?

#151665 All Dressed Up Dies
To create a 3D project, it takes 2 die cuts with the tote die – so easy! I wanted to make a flat purse, so I modified the cut for a card front. It was quite simple. Here are the steps.
First, die cut the shape from any designer paper or cardstock. I shortened my bag, so I only cut a portion of the main section.

Next, trim the side edge along the score line made by the die.

Then, line up the bottom edge of the designer paper with the bottom edge of the die, and run it through your die cutting machine again. This adds the stitched line and a score line.

Finally, trim along the bottom on the score line.

Once, you place it on your card front, adhere the handle to finish the purse.
This designer gem was dressed up using the Timeless Tropical stamp set and coordinating In the Tropics dies from the 2020 January – June Mini catalog. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

To create this card:
- Cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Old Olive card base, scored at 4 1/4"
- Cut a Lovely Lipstick cardstock layer 3 5/8" x 4 5/8"
- Cut a Flirty Flamingo cardstock layer 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"
- Die cut the largest scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies in Whisper White cardstock
- Die cut the sentiment piece using the Stitched So Sweetly dies from Whisper White cardstock
Adhere the scalloped rectangle on the Flirty Flaming layer, than the Lovely Lipstick Layer. Adhere to card front with dimensionals. Adhere purse to card front. Add strap using dimensionals. Trim pointed ends if desired. Stamp a flower in Lovely Lipstick ink on Flirty Flamingo cardstock, and a large leaf in Pear Pizzazz ink on Granny Apple Green and Old Olive cardstock. Die cut the flower, 2 large stamped leaves, than die cut 2 small leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock. Assemble floral cluster and adhere to purse with dimensionals. Embellish purse handles and floral center with From My Heart Faceted Gems. Stamp sentiment in Lovely Lipstick ink and adhere to card front. Tie a double bow with Whisper White Baker's Twine and adhere to floral cluster.
