2025-26 Blends Colour Chart

Are you wanting to keep track of all the currents Blends you have in your collection?

I have created a NEW Stampin’ Up!® Blend Colour Chart, so you can keep a track of all the colours you have or need from the 2025-26 Annual Catalogue.

I find this so helpful…as I receive my Stampin’ Blends I colour in the corresponding boxes…that way I can quickly see what I have and what I still need to order.

I love having all my colours in ‘Rainbow Order’, so I have used the Color Wheel from the 2025-26 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue to list all the colours. And I must say…they look AMAZING!

Below you will find my Printable PDF Down Load, I recommend you print it onto Stampin’ Up!® Basic White Cardstock for best results.

Mixed Florals

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using products from the Mixed Media Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®. From this suite I used the Mixed Florals Bundle and the sentiment from the Mixed Labels Bundle.

I have had this suite of products sitting on my desk for about a month…I’ve made scrapbook pages, but I hadn’t inked up the stamps until now. It was so good to get out my blends again and do some colouring with them.

Do you have a technique you haven’t used for a while? Why not find some time and do it again and just enjoy the moment.

Sketched Butterflies

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Sketched Butterflies Bundle along with the Full of Life Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! ®.

I decided today was the day to o a bit of colouring with watercolour pencils and by using the Stampin’ Blends Colour Lifter it ment I could use Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp with.

If using the Aqua Painter with water or the Stampin’ Blender Pens you need to use Stazon Ink but if your using Stampin Blends (Alcohol) markers then you can use Memento Ink. I think of it as a case of ‘opposites attract’….water needs permanent ink and Alcohol needs water base ink.

I find that the Colour Lifter blends the water colour pencils really well on the Basic White Cardstock.

In the video below I show how I have coloured the butterfly not tring to be too precise in my colouring. As the stamped image has sketched detail I wanted that to carry through with the colouring. So I don’t mind that you can still see some of the unblended lines from the water olour pencilss.

We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

This Month’s challenge has been set by Annette, to create something pretty for Mother’s Day. I have chosen to use the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®. This DSP is part of the Mixed Media Suite Collection in the Online Exclusives.

Happy Mothers Day

My card is an Easel Card, a fun and simple Fun Fold Card. The Mixed Media Florals is the highlight of my card. I used the ‘Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack‘ for my sentiment, sitting it just off set from the die cut layers from Basic White and the beautiful Mixed Media Floral DSP. The die cut layers are from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

To finish my card I added White 6.4cm ribbon and Neutral Matte Dots from the Botanicals Textures Suite.

Thankful Garden

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Thankful Garden and Painted Strips by Stampin’ Up! ®.

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and come in colours that are soft and subtle to deep and dark…all depending on your soil type.

I created this card using Basic Beige instead of white to give a more earthy tone.

Check out the video below for how I created this card.

Tips

  • Let the Ink dry after stamping the strips, this is a wide strip stamp so there is a lot of ink. When dry the colour will soften.
  • Take your stencils down so they don’t move on you
  • When colouring with your blending brushes work lightly, you can always add more ink but you can’t take it away.
  • The softer or lighter in colour your ink to stamp the out line image the softer and natural your completed image will be.
  • Play with different colour combinations, Google ‘Hydrangeas’ to see the colour variations.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop- March

Welcome to my Blog…. Today I am taking part in ‘Scrapbook Global Blog Hop’ for March.

I will be joining in with some amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.

This Month we have the Lovely Courtenay Heuston – Creative Design Team Member who chose Scrapbooking Global – Stampin’ Up! Blog Hop – Mar 20th, 2025 Colour Challenge theme.


Courtenay has chosen a FAVOURITE colour of hers- use Green Designer Series Paper on your layout.

Together

This photo is of my son, Robert and his beautiful girlfriend Georgia, it was taken on Christmas day in our back yard.

This challenge was a real challenge as I like green but working with it on a scrapbook page and finding the right photo to go with it was a little tougher. I’m really pleased with how this all turned out.

My Layout

I decided to use products from the ‘Lovely Garden Suite Collection‘ by Stampin’ Up!®. I like the Garden Green broken up with the small flowers in white and yellow. Also in the range of papers is this lovely little yellow and green flower on a white background. Lovely Garden Designer Series Papers also has some black and white papers which is great for adding another layer without taking away from the other papers.

I added some texture to the back ground by stamping some splatters using the Elements of Text Cling Stamp and Gray Granite Ink Pad, stamping of off before stamping to my page.

To embellish the page I used the dies from Delightful Wishes Bundle and the leaf dies from the Thankful Garden Dies (part of the Lovely Garden Suite). The leaves I die cut from the Garden Green Two Tone Cardstock using both sides The bird and butterflies I got from the Spring Celebrations Mix & Match Ephemera pack. The Black and white bird on a branch ties in with the black and white DSP and the butterflies draws the eye upwards from the flowers.

Font

My font I created on my Silhouette Cameo using the Will & Grace Font from DaFont. These were cut from Basic White Cardstock and Garden Green Two Tone Cardstock using the lighter side.

My Inspiration

I did use a layout I saw on Pinterest as my Inspiration as I’m finding a my feet in scrapbooking again after being away from it for so many years.

Storybook Moments & Woven Textures

On Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created two cards using two different Suite Collections, Storybook Moments Suite and Botanical Textures Suite by Stampin’ Up!®.

Both cards were created using the same sketch, Casing a card I saw on Facebook. I’m sorry I don’t have the name who created the card I saw. I loved the simplicity of it, I have changed it slightly and used different products. As this style of card can be created with different products and will always looks great.

My Sketch Book

My sketch book is a book that Stampin Up!® gave us a couple of years ago and I use it to jot down ideas I see….sketches for cards and scrapbooks either ones I have seen or ideas I’ve created, colour combinations- you see them everywhere…Children’s clothing in Big W or in catalogues….I once even used a layout and colour combo from the back of a Nutragrain box – including the words they used (ironman).

What I love about this book is it has a ‘Dot Grid’ on the pages and I find it great for helping me to draw straight lines…(I’m a bit OCD about this) I can also use the grid for keeping my sketch in proportion…meaning each square is either = 1cm or 1″

Take to the Sky

Today I am taking part in the Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop, I am using the ‘Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®.

This Designer Series Paper is part of the Take to the Sky Suite Collection, which also includes Adventurous Sky Bundle and Industrial Trinkets. As I have only got the DSP I am just working with it. Two sheets of the DSP is tags and other cut out panels which I have used to the elements of my layout.

The Story- Fleet Air Arm Museum

How I created my page…

Layout

For this layout I worked a little backwards by creating the Right page first and then followed through to the Left page.

Right Page-

  • I started this page by working out how I could place all the photos and decided to make them into a strip going across the page.
  • Then added the 2 strips of DSP above and below the photos. Both of these strips were inked along the edges in Basic Gray.
  • I used the cut-a-part tags to created elements at the top right corner of my layout. Tag edges were also Inked in Basic Gray Ink and holes punched using the new 1/8″ Hole Punch from the Hole Punch Assortment. Bakers Twine in black added to tags.

Left Page

  • DSP was cut to match the right page, inked along the edges with Basic Gray Ink and added to the page
  • $ x 6 photo matted in Boho Blue
  • Tags and other cut-a-part elements Inked around the edges, some tags cut down, as not all the tag needed. Those left over pieces were then cut into tags and added to right hand page at the bottom of layout.
  • Title was cut from Basic Black cardstock with Adhesive Sheets adhered to the page above smaller photo.

As an after thought I decided to ink around the edges of the pages with Basic Gray Ink and added some stamping of planes from the Everyday Arches Stamps for added texture.

Journalling was added in strips printed onto Basic White Cardstock.
