This week we have a fun Paper Craft Crew Tic Tac Toe challenge to stretch your creative thinking! Which 3 connected boxes will you choose?
I had a tough time with this one as I don't have a lot of current products that match the choices in the challenge. I knew that I wanted to use the Cheerful Daisies bundle but I didn't want to use the corresponding paper. So I decided to stamp my own design instead.
Just in case you haven't seen the Cheerful Daisies bundle, it's worth a look:
There are so many possibilities in this set and matching dies, but I decided to go simple and to play with two new In Colors: Wild Wheat and Copper Clay.
Here's my card (two photos).
And this one:
So now that you have seen my idea, what will you create this week? If you want to see what the other crew members created this week, click here to head over to the Paper Craft Crew website.

If you love playful stamp sets, then do not miss the brand new Little Monkey bundle - it comes with the Little Monkey Builder punch!
The phrases in this bundle are super cute: "Just swinging by to say hi"; "I'm bananas about you"; and "Little Monkey". The punch matches 1 of the monkey stamps and the banana stamp. How fun!
I also want to introduce the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper:
Pair the Little Monkey bundle with one of the Fresh as a Daisy paper designs and you can make this card. Tip: click on the bundle or paper photo to link over to my online store.
Here's how to make it at home.

Introducing the Cheerful Daisies bundle!
Stamp a happy garden or bouquet of daisies with the Cheerful Daisies stamp set. You'll love everything you can do with this set. Do you like bold and simple stamping? Use the solid images, perfect for quick stamping in one color. Do you want to add detailed color? Use the open line-art images, perfect for watercoloring. The flowers, flower centers, leaves, and stems are on separate stamps so you can create customized flowers. Finish with a sentiment—birthday, thanks, thinking of you, sorry—for unique cards for many occasions.
Cut out a garden of happy daisies in seconds with the Cheerful Daisies dies. The flowers, stems, and leaves are all separate so you can create a single stemmed flower or fill a landscape with a bed of flowers and greenery. There's also a label die so you can cut out a stamped sentiment and add it to your cards. These dies are the easiest way to make your crafting bloom!

Every few years, Stampin’ Up! refreshes their core color collection to keep current with the color trends in fashion and home décor industries. This is the year they have chosen to do this and we have a total 11 different colors in the core color families. Seven of these colors are returning from previous years, many of which were favorite In Colors. These are Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock, Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagoon, and Fresh Freesia which is one of the just retiring 2021-2023 In Colors. These are scattered throughout the color families.
In addition, there are four delicious totally new colors - Azure Afternoon, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly, and Bubble Bath. Check them out!
Add to these 11 new colors in the Color Collection, the 5 new 2023-2025 In Colors and you have a total of 16 new choices. Wow! That is a lot and can be very expensive to build your new color collection when you consider cardstock, ink pads, markers, Stampin’ Blends, and embellishments in the new colors. My suggestion is to start with your favorite color family, be it Subtles, Regals, Neutrals, or Brights, and fill in the new colors of that family first. If you have been a fan of Stampin’ Up! for a few years, you may still have many of the returning colors in your stash. That’s great! I had all of them.
Check the ink pads to see if they need reinking. Hopefully you had purchased refills at the time you bought the pads. If you don’t have the refills, you may want to replace the old pads because the new refills may have a slightly different color than the old ones or the old ones may have changed color slightly over the years and will not match the new refills.
Stampin’ Up! offers a collection of the new core colors. They are listed below:
Similar bundles are available for the 2023-2025 In Colors with the stamp pad bundle, also having a 10% discount.
I’m excited about the new colors. My favorite ones right now are Azure Afternoon, Pecan Pie, and Bubble Bath. What ones excite you? Which will you order first? Remember the new catalog sales period began on May 2.

Last Sunday I introduced Stampin' Up!s new 2023-25 In Colors on my YouTube video and today's Paper Craft Crew challenge is the perfect way to feature them again:
I decided to show you another gift card idea using these colors, one that is super easy to create, using your Medium Daisy punch (now retired). If you don't have the Daisy punch, look at the punches or dies you do have and I am sure you will come up with how to make this idea work.
Here's what I created in just minutes:
And then for each In Color, I created a matching gift envelope, which Stampin' Up! also sells. Here are two of them - you can easily copy the same idea for the rest:
Boho Blue
Wild Wheat
And don't forget matching envelopes!
Which of these 5 new In Colors is your fave? Leave me a comment to let me know.
If you want to see other card ideas using the new In Colors, click here to see what the other crew members created this week. And if you want to add these colors to your collection click on the shopping cart on the right side of my blog to hop over to my online store.

The In Color 12" x 12" Cardstock Assortment is great for handmade cards and other paper crafts. It’s high quality, acid free, and lignin free, making it a favorite scrapbook paper, too. Here's my tip: when new IN Colors are introduced I always buy an assorted pack of 12x12 cardstock. I can then use my Paper Trimmer to create card bases, strips or keep a sheet whole for memory pages. It's like a color sampler that goes a long way.
In my video below I show you how to create this super cute gift tag AND I also show you a different layout along with the gift tag in all 5 new In Colors!
Here are the gift tags I created:
And did you know that Stampin' Up! has 3" x 3" envelopes that are perfect for these gift tags? And what if we decorated the envelopes as well?
Wild Wheat
Boho Blue
Copper Clay
Pebbled Path
Moody Mauve

Supplies:
Stamp set: none
Ink: none
Paper and cutting dimensions:
Basic White: 6" x 3"; 2 1/4" square
Boho Blue DSP: 2 6/8" square
Boho Blue: 2 3/4" square; (2) 2 1/4" squares

Yes, it's another Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge - this week with a tag feature - yummy!
I am happy to see tags 0n the challenge because I don't use my Tailor Made Tags dies often enough and I am delighted that they are NOT retiring.
And as I was thinking about this week's challenge I decided to layer my tag feature, using the Hues of Happiness paper (retiring):
along with some leftover Vellum Layering Designs:
My first try at this sketch was too plain looking for my design taste so I decided to use the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder on the card base and strip - love how it looks!
Put these products all together (along with the Hello Irresistible stamp set phrase) and this is what you can make!
I am very happy with how it turned out. And now it's your turn! Try this week's challenge and see what you can create. If you want to see what the other design crew members made using this week's sketch, click here.
