This month for our Coast to Coast Creators hop, we’re celebrating the beautiful retiring 2024–2026 In Colors—and I couldn’t resist using all five on one cheerful card!

For my project, I started with a Summer Splash card base, which really makes everything pop. I paired it with the gorgeous Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (sadly on the Last Chance list!) to create that soft, flowing texture in the background.

The star of the show is the adorable upcoming stamp set Caring Animals (coming May 2026!). I stamped the sweet birds and sentiment image and coloured them using the retiring In Color Stampin’ Blends:

• Petunia Pop
• Peach Pie
• Summer Splash
• Pretty in Pink
• Shy Shamrock

I love how each little bird brings a pop of colour while still keeping the design clean and simple.

To finish it off, I added a torn strip of Summer Splash cardstock behind the sentiment for a bit of texture and dimension, along with a few soft Pretty In Pink Flat Pearls.

This card is a perfect reminder to grab your favourite In Color products before they’re gone!

✨ Be sure to hop along and see how the rest of the team is using these gorgeous colours!
