Now it’s time for our Summer 2016 Couture Color Collection ink debut!!

We have 14 new dye ink colors. I chose to add mostly deep tones or hues to our collection this time around.

Here are some side by side comparisons to our existing Couture Color Collection.

I hope this gives you a better idea of what our inks look like stamped out!  Reinkers are available for purchase for all new colors (and existing colors).  Our Summer 2016 Couture Color Collection inks are available individually and in bundles – the Dusty Blues Collection is available as a pack of three and the entire 14 ink collection is available as a bundle in itself.

Now let’s move on to our stamps! First up for our final set of stamps is our Darling Flamingos.

I’m so excited to debut our layered Darling Flamingos for this release!  They’re so adorable and come with two layered flamingos which you can stamp individually or facing each other with hearts surrounding the pair 🙂

This is a super fun Sundae Bar stamp set where you can stamp your own customized sundaes!

Stamp or emboss this cheerful Ice Cream Party print background on your paper crafts!  This background stamp coordinates beautiful with our Sundae Bar stamp set.

Our Stand Tall set is a great mini sentiment set with two fun pineapple stamps.  Stand tall and be a pineapple, friends!

Now please enjoy the gallery of samples made by our team for today!

First up is Eunji’s card!  She made a bright and fun watercolored background with our Darling Flamingos, Stand Tall and Mini Wild Florals stamp sets.  That monstera leaf from our Mini Wild Florals is just perfect with our new tropical sets!

Jessica’s card is fun, pretty and chic with that bright pop of pink, chic stripes and flamingo focal point. 

For Eunji’s next card, she created a dramatic sunset (with a subtle Floral Map underlay) with a couple of Darling Flamingos.

Next up is Emily’s gorgeous and bold flamingo card!  She created a monochromatic striped background as a backdrop to her pink flamingo. 

Mayline’s next card is clean and simple.  That blended blue background is the perfect backdrop for her Darling Flamingos. 

Next up is my card! I created a flamingo silhouette instead of layering the flamingo for my card.  First I prepped my card panel by laying down strips of Gold Foil Adhesive paper to create a chic background.  Next I die cut a circle panel using our Double Stitched Circle dies.  Then I blended half the circle with our Bright Emerald Dye ink.  Then I stamped the first solid layer of the flamingo and its legs in the middle of the panel with our Noir Dye Ink.  Next I stamped the monstera leaves and other foliage (Mini Wild Florals) on separate cardstock with our Hot Tourmaline and Bright Emerald Dye inks and die cut them using coordinating dies.  Next I die cut the gold foil foliage using the leafy dies from our Petal Cut Peony dies.  I popped up the circular panel with foam tape and arrange the remaining foliage.  Lastly I heat embossed the sentiment in aqua on black cardstock and fussy cut it and popped it up under my foliage.

Next up is Emily’s pretty flamingo against a chic striped background!

Ruby’s next gorgeous card is similar but she uses a different color scheme with pretty rubies and grays for her awesome flamingos.

Next up is Vera’s super fun and cute ice cream card!  She created a cute background with our Sundae Bar set. 

Emily’s next card is a super cool watercolored card created with our Sundae Bar set.  

Eunji created a fun ice cream stand with our Sundae Bar.  The card come complete with its own awning (created with our Minor Stripes)!!

Next up is my card created with our Panda Can’t Even, Sundae Bar and Sparklers Alpha sets.  I stamped the sleeping pandas in our Noir Dye ink over each other to create a tower of pandas.  Then I stamped the top panda and stamped some ice cream scoops in his outstretched hands.  Next I stamped a tower of ice cream scoops with our various dye inks.  I kept with the same color scheme for the sentiment which I created using our Sparklers Alpha.  The Basic Labels completed the sentiment. 

Next up is Mayline’s fun Ice Cream Party card!  I love the bright colors she used to color in the different elements making this seem like a professional graphic print!  That sentiment from our Let’s Mingle set completed the card perfectly. 

Eunji’s next shaker card is so cute with her ice cream hawking Honey Bear!  That blended Ice Cream Party background is the perfect backdrop for her hardworking bear. Her ice cream stand comes complete with an Ice Cream sign created with our Let’s Mingle Labels set.

Emily’s next card is the perfect birthday card for your ice cream lover because this background print is just awesome! No need for a gift because this card is a gift in itself topped with a gorgeous bow and mint foil ribbon! Our Basic Labels create the perfect sentiment tag for this card.

Mayline’s next card is a fun watercolored pineapple print card created with our Stand Tall mini stamp.  I love her two toned pineapples with the matching glitter and apple foil strips to complete the card.
