A Bright & Cheerful In Color Card

I couldn’t choose just one In Color—so I decided to use them all! This card came together beautifully with a mix of bold color, subtle texture, and a crisp white accent.

How I Made It

Colorful background:
I started with a 5″ x 3″ panel of Basic White cardstock and added strips of each In Color, cut to 3″ x 1″.

Tone-on-tone texture:
Using the Stripes & Dots Stamp Set and VersaMark ink, I stamped dots all the way down the panel. VersaMark creates that subtle “color-on-color” look—without the hassle of switching ink pads.

Raised panel effect:
Once the panel was finished, I adhered it to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This gives the design a little extra lift and makes the colors stand out even more.

Crisp white contrast:
On top, I layered a detailed Basic White die cut. The clean white design pops against the colorful background, pulling the whole card together.

Finishing Touches

I turned this into a thank you card, but with a quick sentiment swap, you could make it a birthday, hello, or even a thinking of you card! On the inside and envelope, I stamped with Secret Sea—but you could easily use your favorite In Color to tie it all together.
