Welcome and thanks for hopping with us for the June Color Fusers Blog Hop! Today, I am featuring the beautiful 2026 -2028 In Colors using the All Aflutter bundle in each of the 5 new colors.
The new In Colors are one of my favorite things to look forward to each year, and this year did not disappoint! My favorite is still undecided, but I have probably used Barely Blush and Hydrangea Hue the most so far. As I get into Fall creating, I can’t wait to pull in Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine. They will make gorgeous Fall cards!
When the new In Colors launch, I love making card sets featuring all the colors. I usually keep these really simple, and let the In Color shine. There are so many great bundles to make a simple In Color card set. Grab a bundle you haven’t used (or haven’t used for awhile), and create an adorable card set for gifting!
Keep It Simple
I love a good punch bundle. This All Aflutter bundle is from the May – August Catalog. The butterflies are so cute, and make an adorable simple In Color card!
There is also a sneak peek! The Black Iridescent Ribbon on these projects is a sneak of what’s coming in the July Online Exclusive release. It can be found as part of the Halloween suite. It’s a little sparkly, a little shiny, and so good!

Thanks for hopping with us for the May Color Fusers Blog Hop! We have a great color challenge to share today, and I am using a little old and a little new for today’s project to create my own patterned paper.
Today’s colors are also really fun, bright and cheerful! We are creating with Strawberry Slush, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Basic Black.
For today’s project, I am keeping it super simple, yet using all 4 colors prominently. First, I stamped the Flowers Flair stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White cardstock, then I colored the image with Stampin’ Bends Markers in our challenge colors. This is the perfect way to create your own patterned paper – and it looks great!
Keeping it Simple
Sometimes, we just want a simple card. And today’s project fits that!
Creating patterned paper can be done with any stamps and ink colors. Simply stamp, color, and cut. Once you create your masterpiece, cut pieces off as needed to complete projects. Make several sheets and tuck them away for a day when you want quick and easy cards.
Coloring Tips
I kept the coloring on today’s project simple. No real shading, course detail lines on the flowers, and some Wink of Stella for the right amount of shimmer. Coloring doesn’t always have to be fancy. But by coloring the background, it really elevates the look of a simple stamped image. By layering it on white, it provides a striking pop of color.
Even the inside has a coordinating pop of color!
Be Creative
The Flowers Fair is so versatile. You may look at it and see one large stamp with flowers, but you can actually cut the flowers apart to have individual elements to work with as well, or stamp it as is for a large floral element.
Sneak Peek
Did you notice that cool scallop under the flowers? This was created from the Bordered in Beauty Die set. It’s part of a bundle, and launches tomorrow. These dies are perfect for being able to add the perfect finishing touches to your projects.
To Create This Project
Thick Basic White Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″
Basic White Cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 4″ x 3-1/2″
Basic Black Cardstock: 4″ x 1″ and 4″ x 1/4″
Fold card base and burnish well with a Bone Folder. Adhere Basic White layer to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp Flowers Fair image on remaining Basic White cardstock. Color with Stampin’ Blends. Die cut border piece from Basic Black cardstock using Bordered in Beauty Dies. Adhere die cut to bottom edge of colored piece. Tie a twine bow around layer. Stamp sentiment in Memento Black ink, using flower layer to help with position, then adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere remaining piece of patterned paper along bottom inside card. Place a 1/4″ strip of Basic Black along top edge of DSP. Embellish with dots as desired.

It’s almost time for the May – August 2026 Catalog and May Online Release. That means it’s product share time! Product Shares are only offered for a short time before a catalog launches. It’s the best way to get a little of all the new papers, ribbons and embellishments from a new product release!
A product share is a partial pack of products, grouped and packaged for easy use. Because, let’s face it, we love having all the new things! This is perfect for trying a little of everything at a fraction of the cost, making it a budget-friendly way to purchase crafting supplies.
Paper samplers are creative tools used to display a paper collection, or to use as a reference while you’re crafting. These are invaluable to coordinate patterns and colors as you are creating projects, or to showcase the beautiful patterns of each collection.
