FREE TUTORIAL! Simple Cards with 2026-2028 In Colors!

Published 6 days ago • 5 min read

Hello Reader,

​Yesterday’s simple sketch gets a fresh new look with five clean and simple cards featuring all five NEW 2026–2028 In Colors! I paired the gorgeous Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder with the NEW Words & Wishes Bundle for an easy combination that adds texture, softness, and bold sentiments without a lot of fuss. These cards are a wonderful reminder that a simple layout, beautiful embossing, and fresh color can do all the heavy lifting. Which new In Color is calling your name first?
