Had some fun playing with the new In Colors and the Simply Pressed Clay that will both be available on May 31 from Stampin’ Up!  I used my Hearts a Flutter Framelits Die to “cut” the Simply Pressed Clay while it was still wet, it worked a lot like a cookie cutter…so fun!  My card design was inspired by the Sketch Frenzy Friday 051713.

I started by cutting the little strips of 2013-15 In Color card stock to just a hair over 1/2″ x 4″.  There was no measuring mark on my Stampin’ Trimmer for the exact size that I needed, the 1/2″ mark was too small and the 5/8″ mark was too big so my “official” measurement is just a hair over 1/2″.  🙂  To make it easier to keep everything straight, I lined up my strips in the order that I wanted and adhered them to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL.

Then I stamped the Hearts a Flutter images on a Top Note Bigz die cut from Whisper White card stock in Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe ink.  I adhered the Top Note stamped panel over the card stock strips with SNAIL.  Then I punched Small Heart Punches from each color and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals down the left side of the panel.

I inked up the just for you sentiment from the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit with Baked Brown Sugar and Pistachio Pudding ink and I stamped it on Whisper White card stock.  I punched the sentiment out with the Large Oval Punch and adhered it with SNAIL to a Scallop Oval Punch from Baked Brown Sugar card stock, then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a little bit of Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe ink to 3 small pieces of Simply Pressed Clay, kneaded in the color and smashed them flat with one of my Clear-Mount Blocks.  I used my Hearts a Flutter Framelits die like a cookie cutter and pressed it down into the clay and that worked to cut out the heart shapes.  I set them aside and let them dry completely (took about 4 hours), then sponged the edges with a little more ink and adhered them to the card front with Sticky Strip.  I added a rhinestone to the center of each heart punch and clay die cut and adhered the decorated panel to a Baked Brown Sugar card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the heart images again on a Whisper White panel and I adhered it to the inside of the card.
