We've made it to the first Friday of another month and that can mean only one thing - a Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. Our theme this month is projects featuring the 2020-2022 In Colors. If you've hopped from Kimberley Anne's post, you are on the right track. There is a full list of blog hop participants at the end of this post.
The 2020-2022 In Colors are Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight. If I was a colour I would definitely be Magenta Madness! That colour alone makes my heart happy!
I set myself a mini challenge with this theme to make multiple cards. I actually made over 20 but that might just be too many for one post! I have six cards to share today and they use the products shown below.

| Tasteful Touches Stamp Set |
 |
| Forever Fern Stamp Set |
 |
| Best Year Stamp Set |
I used Stampin' Up! Note Cards and Envelopes paired with the backgrounds from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. Each card also features one of the Tasteful Labels dies for the sentiments.
For this first card I adhered the gold foil background directly to the note card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Bumblebee onto one of the Tasteful Labels dies. I added tails using the 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper and another of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut two of the banners and cut them in half to layer up between four layers of the Whisper White cardstock labels. I finished this card by adding some Bumblebee 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.
My second card showcases Cinnamon Cider along with a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This was very simply to put together with some of the DSP layered behind the gold foil background.
I added a stripe of Magenta Madness DSP behind the sentiment for my next card and layered the label up using additional cardstock pieces. I also ran the Magenta Madness Stampin' Write Marker along the edge of the sentiment label to make it stand out against the background. I just love that pop of pink!
These are actually my favourite cards of the bunch and they make a great pair in Misty Moonlight. The card on the left was simply layered using the gold foil die cut, In Color DSP and a sentiment label. I added some In Color Enamel Dots too. The card on the right has a full covering of the In Color DSP behind the gold foil background panel. I added a small heart using the Stitched Be Mine Dies and covered this with Shimmery Crystal Effects.
Lastly, the most simple of the cards and this one features Just Jade. Once I had adhered the gold foil background panel, I stamped directly onto the Note Card using my Stamparatus and then added some of the In Color Enamel Dots to finish.
Happy crafting,
