Sneak Peek at NEW 2025-2027 In Colors
Hey Everybody,
Would you like a Sneak Peek of the 2025-2027 In Colors that will be released when the Annual Catalog goes live in May? Here are some great reference cards for you to use when you are considering which colors to add to your collection come May.

Darling Duckling is an unique color formulation of yellow, different from the other shades you will find in the Stampin’ Up! Color Combination. This 2025-2027 Stampin’ Up! In Color will be released with the other available colors, when the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog is released.

Did you know that shades of blue are one of the most poplar colors for ink and paper? Not to mention it is my favorite color. Well we have unique color formulation of a deep ocean blue with the New In Color Secret Sea.

Make a colorful impression with the return of Strawberry Slush to Stampin’ Up!’s line up of pink colors in 2025.

Stampin’ Up is adding a unique color formulation of orange with the release of Timid Tiger in the 2025-2027 In Color Collection

Stampin’ Up! prides themselves in offering new colors and stands behind these colors to be true in color. Unfortunately, Cloud Clover is one of our five new In Color hues, but it is showing sign of shifting in shade beyond Stampin’ Up!’s acceptable standards. It’s transitioning from a soothing shade of blue to a hazy shade of gray. We pride ourselves on offering beautiful, coordinating colors, and with this shade shift, that coordination is off, which doesn’t meet the company’s quality standards. This means this color will not be released with the others in May. Stay tuned for updates.
Exciting things are happening.
Blessings,
Sue

Another Card Layout That's So Versatile
Here is another card layout that will use a 6" x 6" piece of designer series paper to make two cards.
I made this using a Stampin' Up designer series paper that demonstrators could earn with sales. It is called, Countryside Rose. It is a pink version of Countryside Inn designer series paper. What attracted me to this layout was that It was very easy to cut for multiple cards. It looks great whether it's for a masculine or feminine card.
This card uses white cardstock for a base with Melon Mambo to put the designer series paper on and Pretty in Pink for the sentiment strip. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo.
How to cut your 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
1. Cut a 2" x 6" piece.
2. Cut the 2" x 6" piece of designer series paper at 2", 1 1/2" and 1". You will have a scrap left over.3. Cut a 1" x 6" piece of designer series paper. Cut this at 4 3/4". You will now have a 1" by 4 3/4" piece. You will have a scrap left over.
Card Measurements
This designer series paper is one of my favorites called, Timeless Plaid. On this card I used both side of the designer series paper.
Here's the card I made in the video. Check out how different it looks turned vertically instead of horizontally.

Participating in Splitcoaststampers Daily Challenges
After teaching a week of classes, I like to get online and check out challenges on Splitcoaststampers as well as try new techniques or layouts. I also play with stamps and products that aren't Stampin' Up.
If you know me, you know I like cute animal character stamps. The first card is just that. It is an old stamp but I love to use it each year for Easter. Sometimes I use them together as you see in the first card.
Sometimes I use them individually on a card as you can see in the second card. It's fun to challenge yourself to use your stamps in different ways. My challenge was, how do I use one tiny stamp on a card? What else do I use with it? AAAHHHH it's out of my comfort zone! LOL That's the challenge of it. This type of card making stretches your thinking and imagination. It allows you to overcome that fear of what to do and just start experimenting with different things until you find something that works.
Friday's Free 4 All Challenge was: Use Bunnies, chicks, Ducklings on your card.
This is one of my favorite Easter stamps. I just love these little guys. They were stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut this down and added a boho blue cardstock behind it. I cut a banner tail and added ribbon. The background was made using my Heartfelt Hexagon punch and the cute Echo Park Bunnies and Baskets designer paper. I added the die cut, Easter Joy to finish the card. I feel such joy when I see these little guys!

Cards With Scraps
Hey Everybody,
I've been busy teaching classes this week and making birthday cards for kids. A friend gave me this cute kid paper so I cut 1 1/4" squares from it and did a layout with 8 small squares and 1 large square. After the designer paper was added to the cardstock, I dry embossed it with a cute birthday embossing folder. Then I added the sentiment and image.
Here is the same layout and paper but a different image. This image is from Gerda Steiner. The cupcake is from Lawn Fawn and the party hat is a retired Stampin' Up stamp.Speaking of birthdays, My Mia turns 3 tomorrow. We will celebrate with family tonight. Here is the card I made for her. I cut a door in the tree so the bear peeks out.
Here is the card closed.
These cards were made with left over designer series paper from the plaid 6" x 6" designer series paper. I used my hexagon punch. These were donated to Hillcrest Hospital cancer floor.

March Class Follow-Up
Hey Everybody,

March Class Follow-Up

Links to products are in bold print.
Stampin’ Up now has a blog full of great information and ideas. Here is the link.
Products Discussed In Some Classes:
Zip Glue Pen-Use for zipper card for application of an adhesive on metallic cardstock.
Add color to embossed images with blending brushes. Layer darker colors on top of lighter colors as we did in Card 1 with the hibiscus flowers. Add a bit of marker to highlight details on flowers.
Cut ribbon shorter than your card front and cut ends on a diagonal to make them stand out as in card 1.
Use a bone folder on cardstock as though you are curling ribbon. Go back and forth doing both sides. Cardstock will pull apart and you will have a soft, suede like look for your paper as we did in card 4 for the pockets.
Ribbon Holder- Check out Brenda Quintana's video for keeping spools of ribbon from unwinding. She has a pdf file as well on her blog. Keep in mind you can use a circle punch and punch a couple of times to make opening larger for ribbon. You don't need a slot punch.
We now have opportunities to donate cards to three different facilities
