New At SU May Blog Hop 2024-2026 In Colors Simply Said

It's time to hop along with the New At SU May Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing the beautiful new 2024-2026 In Colors released this month. Our amazing Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity with these incredible new colors.

For my card design, I wanted to share a clean and simple card design using the new Simply Said stamp set from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I love that this stamp set has sentiments for a variety of occasions is great whether you are just starting out or a seasoned stamper. I chose to use all five of the new In Colors - Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash to create this bright and cheerful card.

I love making clean and simple card designs, especially when I can add a Wow factor to make it extra special. For this card design, I chose the new In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper in each of the five colors to add some sparkle to the design. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the circles and adhered them to the Basic Black card front, trimming the edges flush with the card front. I used the excess pieces to fill in around the edges to complete the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Simply Said stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Basic Black cardstock strip and trimmed it to approx. 3 1/8". I added two of the Peach Pie Shimmer Gems to decorate the sentiment label. I added the sentiment to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I added the Basic Black card front to the Pretty In Pink cardstock layer and then used Stampin' Dimensionals to add it to the Petunia Pop card base. I love how beautifully these colors work together and how they pop against the Basic Black card front. This card would work well to help celebrate a variety of occasions.

Stamping With Friends July Blog Hop Color Refresh

It's time to play with colors with the Stamping With Friends July Blog Hop, as we showcase the new and returning colors released during the recent Color Refresh. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore the beautiful new colors that Stampin' Up! has to offer. 

So, you are probably wondering, what are the new colors? With the recent Color Refresh, Stampin' Up! chose to retire some of its Core Colors and replace them with some new colors as well as some colors that had previously been In Colors in the past. These colors include: Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock, Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagoon, Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath. In addition, we also have five new In Colors for the 2023-2025 In Colors, that will be available for the next two years. These colors are Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path. 

Today I decided to play the pink/purple tone colors, which are not usually my thing, but I thought would be fun to see how they work together. I chose Bubble Bath for the background stamping using the Artistically Inked stamp set and experimented with Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Moody Mauve for the balloons. I discovered that stamping off once with Moody Mauve Classic ink gave me a really pretty pink color that worked well with Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst. I wanted to keep my design fairly simple and let the colors be the star of the show. I love how it turned out and can't wait to try this layout with other colors to see what I can create.

Products Used:

Beautiful Balloons Bundle (item #1614570

Artistically Inked stamp set (item #1545420

Berry Burst Cardstock (item #144243)

Thick Basic White Cardstock (item #159229)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Berry Burst Classic Ink Pad (item #147143)

Bubble Bath Classic Ink Pad (item #161664)

Fresh Freesia Classic Ink Pad (item #1555613)

Moody Mauve Classic Ink Pad (item #161649)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

2023-2025 In Color Dots (item #161620)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Thick Basic White Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Berry Burst Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5" x 3 3/4"

Basic White Cardstock

Card Front - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"

One I look at this card design, I think fresh and pretty. I love how the Bubble Bath background adds texture to this design. The Berry Burst really pops against the Fresh Freesia and Moody Mauve balloons and I tied in the matte layer with Berry Burst cardstock to create a frame for the focal design. I stamped the balloons onto Basic White cardstock using the medium and small balloons images and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. For the strings and the sentiments, I used Tuxedo Black ink to add contrast and added the balloons to the card front, popping up the medium Berry Burst balloon and small Fresh Freesia balloon using Stampin' Dimensionals. I added several Moody Mauve In Color Dots to the design for a touch of bling. This clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to experiment with different color combinations. I hope this birthday card will brighten someone's special day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to experiment with the new and returning colors that have been added during the recent Color Refresh.

New At SU May Blog Hop New In Colors With Core Colors

Welcome to the New At SU May Blog Hop as we explore the amazing new colors in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. We will be focusing on the beautiful new 2023-2025 In Colors and how they look with the wonderful Color Collections Stampin' Up! has to offer. You may notice some new colors as well as some returning favorites that have been added during the recent Color Refresh. Our talented Design Team members will be sharing their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity and inspire you to explore these wonderful new colors. 

My favorite color is blue, so I had to choose the beautiful Boho Blue from the 2023-2025 In Colors to showcase with my card design. I chose to use the Zany Zoo Bundle to create a sweet celebration card that would work well as a birthday card or even as a Graduation card. I paired Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight and Lemon Lime Twist, two returning colors, and Lemon Lolly, a new color that has been added to our color collections. For the raccoon, I used a combination of Smoky Slate with Pebbled Path, another of the new 2023-2025 In Colors.

Boho Blue Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

This fun clean and simple card design shows how beautifully Boho Blue plays with other Stampin' Up! colors. I love how it looks with Misty Moonlight to create a frame around the designer series card front and the focal layers. The pops of color from the balloons helps bring the card design to life. The striped Boho Blue card front creates a wonderful background for this design and I used the Countryside Corners Dies to create the layers for the focal image and the sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder onto the Misty Moonlight sentiment label to coordinate with the background. To create the raccoon image, I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored it with a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers. The Pebbled Path Stampin' Blends are a wonderful alternative to using Basic Black and work well with Smoky Slate to color the raccoon. For embellishments, I used a piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/8" Ribbon around the card front, beneath the sentiment label and I colored several Iridescent Pearls with the Light Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends Marker to add a touch of bling. Boho Blue is a beautiful medium blue and is fast becoming a favorite new In Color. I hope you will give it a try with your new projects.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the wonderful new In Colors and new Core colors in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. There are so many color combinations to experiment with using Stampin' Up!'s amazing range of coordinating products.

Ink. Stamp. Share. September Monthly Blog Hop Colour Challenge

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. September Monthly Blog Hop and this month we have a color challenge to inspire us. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their amazing projects and ideas. 

Our color challenge this month is to create a project using at least three of the challenge colors: Pretty Peacock, Just Jade, Gorgeous Grape, Merry Merlot and Melon Mambo. 

I love how bright and cheerful this color combination is, so I decided to create a celebration card using the Pattern Play stamp set from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I was able to combine all 5 of the colors into this fun design and this card could work for a birthday or to celebrate a special event in someone's life. The circle die cut was created using one of the circle dies from the Stitched Shapes Dies that are also in the Annual Catalog. 

Supplies Used:

Pattern Play stamp set (item #152523)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Pretty Peacock cardstock (item #150880)

Just Jade cardstock (item #153079)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Melon Mambo Classic Ink Pad (item #147051)

Merry Merlot Classic Ink Pad (item #147112)

Gorgeous Grape Classic Ink Pad (item #147099)

White Embossing Powder (item #109132)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(scored at 4 1/4")

Just Jade cardstock layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Just Jade cardstock for circle die cut

The images in this stamp set are great for creating a fun background and I combined Merry Merlot, Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape Classic inks to create the design. The sentiment was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder to step up the design and I added some Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you have enjoyed my card design and I hope it will provide you with new ideas to help you use these colors in your own projects.
