Let’s Compare the New 2026 In Colors

Posted on by
Reply

I recently got my preorder for the New 2026 May-August Mini Catalog and I can say I love the new In Colors for 2026-2028.

They are not only beautiful colors that add to our color line up, but there isn’t anything like them really either.

So lets compare! I’ll start with the softest of the colors Barely Blush first –

The first picture shows the color with our current color collection.

And the second picture shows with our past colors that have been retired

Next up our returning Crisp Cantaloupe which was a returning In Color

and here it is again with retired colors

I love the warm Golden Glow and can’t wait to add it to my fall color pallet. Once again with current colors first.

And with our past colors that have been retired.

And the lovely Peaceful Pine

And with past retired colors

And finally the beautiful Hydrangea Hue – this color called to me the first time I saw it, after all everyone loves a shade of blue, right?

Again with our past retired colors.

As you can see these New In Colors really don’t look like current or past colors and stand all on their own – I think you’ll fall in love with them just like I have. I’ve been having a lot of fun creating with them and can’t wait to share them with you in my May Classes and upcoming tutorials too!

I’ve used my color swatches that I share with you each year when our New colors are released along with the labels so that you can create your own. Watch for my Organization items coming in May or get your swatches free when you place an order with me or during my May Classes.

Watch for my upcoming Card Class information coming soon that will highlight these lovely NEW colors

Floral Impressions Kindness Card Tutorial

Today’s card is perfect for spring and reminds me of my mother who always looked forward to those first flowers popping up in the spring.

This card uses my Card Sketch #2 making it a great way to create quick and simple cards like this one that highlight our Designer Series Paper. I simply did this card in landscape rather than the portrait version.

Here is a quick video tutorial showing you how I created the card and PDF for both the card and Card Sketch.

Lifetime of Love

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy monochromatic card with you using the Lifetime of Love stamp set (Last Chance 162574) so today I thought I’d share another card that was created with this stamp set.

Today’s card has a totally different feel to it since it uses our Petal Pink and Gray Granite to create this lovely wedding card along with a simple masking technique.

The flowers were first stamped onto the Basic White Card stock panel and then a simple mask was used to cover the flowers. After the leaves were stamped using Old Olive to create this layered color look. Fun right? Simply stamp the flower image onto masking paper or a sticky note and cut out and you’re ready to go.

This card is also a fun fold called a joy fold card that is so simple to do! This card uses a 8 inch Basic White panel that has been scored at 4 3/4″. It creates a panel large enough to hide the inside sentiment when the outside sentiment is opened.

Here are a couple of photos showing you the flap portion of the card.

Lovely right? Who wouldn’t enjoy receiving this card on their special day?

Saying goodbye to Layers of Beauty & Summer Splash

Do you enjoy creating monochromatic cards? I love this type of card as it shows off the beauty of just one color, in this case Summer Splash. And while this stamp set is part of a bundle the card highlights it beautifully.

This stamp is a lovely floral one with some wonderful sentiments celebrating love, today’s cards swaps out those beautiful cursive sentiments with a simple one.

A bit of masking allows you to create this stripe of color using the Summer Splash Classic Ink and our Blender Brushes. A bit of ribbon adds some texture.

The Lifetime of Love stamp set (Last Chance 162574) and Summer Splash In Color is part of our Last Chance list and only available while supplies last. With the 2X Rewards happening right now its a great time to check it out.

Silly Safari Thank You Card

Today’s card is quick and easy and uses my Card Sketch #13 along with the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

While this set is part of a money saving bundle and includes a circle punch I’m only using the stamp set for this card.

Bright and cheerful it’s perfect any time of year and of course who doesn’t love a giraffe? Do you ever stamp onto your Designer Series Papers? Check out the upper panel of Darling Duckling Designer Series Paper that I’ve used for this card. It’s added not only color and texture to the top of this card but also a great backdrop for the foliage I’ve stamped too! Why not give it a try?

Here is my video tutorial for you and a PDF with the supplies, step by step directions, and even the video link so everything is in one place when you are ready to craft.

Silly Safari Thank You Card Tutorial PDF

As I mentioned this card uses my Card Sketch #13. These Sketches are great when you need a little inspiration. I’ve been sharing them with you for a while and if you’d like to make them as a reference for you’re crafting too I’ve got a hand PDF that gives you the measurements and more. Put them on a ring or make this little crate I’ve shared with you to keep them on your desk and have them at your finger tips.

Use the color combinations listed on the PDF and you will have a reference for color combos too!

Do you love inspirational sentiment sets? If so this one might be a great set to add to your crafting supplies.

The Prayers & Promises stamp set (167014) includes all kinds of sentiments need for those more difficult cards we need.

Today’s card teams up the Prayers & Promises stamp set (167014) along with the lovely Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper (166994).

It uses the berry pattern to create a wonderful spring card to let someone know you are thinking of them.

Quick and simple to create and send someone you care about.

Florals in Bloom

Posted on by

Flowers they are a sign that spring is here and they are popping up all over as the weather warms here in North Georgia. Today’s card uses those pretty florals to create a lovely card that will make anyone smile.

Using 3/4″ scraps to create the background for this card it is a great way to use up scraps too. The lovely die cut flower is part of the Pretty Florals Dies (Last Chance 165178) and the fun dots are our 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192). The versatile embossing folder used for this project is the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (Last Chance 161600). It’s great for adding a bit of organic texture on all kinds of projects.

Did you know that the Sweet Blooms Bundle (Last Chance 165186)

and the Florals in Bloom Suite (Last Chance 165193) are part of our Last Chance List and are retiring? Stampin’ Up! recently updated our Last Chance products in my Online Store so if you haven’t had a chance to check it out now is a great time since when they are gone they will be won’t be coming back.

Thanking You Card Tutorial

Posted on by

It’s that time of year – as we say goodbye to our 2025 Annual Catalog and 2024-2026 In Colors I thought I shared a card using the New Stampin’ Positioner (available in the May-August Mini) and one of our Last Chance Stamp sets, Thanking You stamp set (Last Chance 163718).

I love this kind of stamp since this big bold image makes creating thank you cards sooo simple! Check out today’s card highlighting this stamp that is leaving.

This card uses a easy heat embossing technique that allows you to have any embossed color that you’d like to heat emboss in. AND the Stampin’ Positioner (167768) makes this technique super easy.

Here is my video tutorial for you sharing this fun little card.

And of course a PDF with the link, supply list, and more!
