2024-2026 In Colors

 Hello crafty friends!

Have you been able to see the NEW 2024-2026 In Colors by Stampin' UP! ?


They are so much fun on their own and even better when combined together! 

I created few card samples using the Simply Sparkling Bundle from their Online Exclusives line of products. This set is a keeper, for sure!


I love how this stamp set coordinated SO WELL with the new In-colors to make it fun and colorful! What do you think?


Cardmaking Tips:
  • On a standard A2 (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") size card, repeatedly stamp the front of your cardstock using the coordinating color ink and splash stamp image.
  • By Stamping-OFF first, stamp the bubbles image in 3 different colors onto a 3-3/8" square piece of basic white cardstock. I used Peach Pie, Summer Splash, and Petunia Pop. Add the "POP" phrase in full ink strength, randomly, over the coordinating color of bubbles.
  • Matt the stamped white square piece with a darker 3-1/2" square piece of cardstock. I used the following colors:
    • For Pretty in Pink CS - Melon Mambo matt
    • For Peach Pie CS - Pumpkin Pie matt
    • For Petunia Pop CS - Blackberry Bliss matt
    • For Shy Shamrock CS - Shaded Spruce matt
    • For Summer Splash CS - Pretty Peacock matt
  • Stamp the soda can image onto a piece of Vellum using Staz-On ink. Cut out with the coordinating die and adhere onto the stamped white square. 
  • Cut a strip of Basic Black cardstock to 1/4" x 3" and stamp the "you're soda-lightful" phrase onto the strip using Versamark ink. Heat emboss with white embossing powder. 
    • Use your coordinating cardbase color for your Stampin' Blends and color over the sentiment. Snip the edges at an angle then adhere with dimensionals.
  • The fruit images were colored only with the In Color Stampin' Blends, except for the green limes. I added some Daffodil Delight
  • Don't forget to add some bling using your In Color Shimmer gems.
  • The inside of the card was kept pretty simple, as shown below.

NEW 2024-2025 Annual Catalog

Welcome Crafty Friends!

NEW CATALOG!

I'm thoroughly excited to share LOTS of great and NEW products and resources  from the NEW 2024-2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' UP!


This catalog is different than most of the catalogs that Stampin' UP! has released and is divided into 3 sections: 
Step-by-Step, 
Quick & Easy, 
and Creativity Your Way. 

The Table of Contents is a great overview of where to find products, techniques, color collections, and other inspiring pages.

There are several pages in the catalog that highlight crafting techniques. You could plan your projects using the products, tools, and samples featured on these pages. Or simply use them as inspiration to refresh your own knowledge or try something new. 

This video is helpful in explaining the Catalog Layout:


2024-2026 IN-COLORS

Stampin' UP! has also released a new set of 5 In-Colors! I really do love them all together and I hope you do too!


Below is a video for Colors that Inspire:


NEW CATALOG RESOURCES

    COLOR COACH

If you need some help with colors on your projects, look no further than the "Color Coach". It's an easy reference to combinations for all of Stampin' UP!'s color families.

COLOR COACH CHART

TIP #1: Sometimes, if I don't like the color combination going across from left to right, I look at the color combinations at a diagonal OR swap out a color in a column! See the examples below.



TIP#2: Make sure you print this chart out in high quality color so you can view the colors best.

    
DSP COLOR COORDINATION CHART
    I've also put together my own resource: a Designer Series Paper (DSP) Color         combination chart which includes all the DSP in the Annual Catalog.

                                                DSP Color Chart
 
    You can use this chart in a variety of ways:
    • See a quick & simple overview of all the DSP and their colors.
    • Be inspired by color combinations.
    • See what DSP uses a particular color you want.
    • You can find the name and page of the set of DSP quickly.
