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.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

I just had to get the Sketched Butterflies Bundle by Stampin’ Up! ®, I tried to resist but I just had to have it and it arrived on my desk Friday morning before my ‘Live”. I love the details in this set, Like most sketches it’s lines and squiggles and the details stamp beautifully.
All detail are in the video below.

Back in October 2023 I joined a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators to take part in a ‘Card swap with a Twist – Chain card Swap.
How does this work?
The swap is similar to an old fashioned chain letter or I would say…”Chinese Whispers with Cards’
We were given a list of names – 11 in total (not including myself)
Create a simple card
Send to first person on the list
Wait to receive a card from someone…
‘CASE’ that card and send it to the 2nd person on your list
Repeat until all people on the list has received a card
Now this is the fun part….When you CASE the card you received, it’s your interpretation of the received card. Just like ‘Chinese Whispers’ you may not end up with what you originally designed
Round 7 Waves of Inspiration
The CASING of this card came down to what did I have…..and I had the Waves of Inspiration Stamps and coordinating Waves Dies.
The waves I cut from Basic White and Misty Moonlight cardstock, then layered to create the crashing waves. The clouds I die cut in Basic White and using the small blending brush added Azure Afternoon or was it Blueberry Bushell (I can’t remember) lightly around the edges. The cloud dies leaves embossed lines or Cloud Fluffly Lines on the die cut, I just highlighted these lines with the Smoky Slate Blends.
The pelican was stamped in Smoky Slate and colour with Blends Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Natural Tones Blends ( Light, Medium Deep and Deep).
For the sentiment tag I stamped the Posts 3-4 times as close together as I could and then coloured using the same colours used before – Crumb Cake, Natural Tones Blends ( Light, Medium Deep and Deep). Then die cut with the coordinating die.
Were to Start…Start this hop at Nancy so you get the progression
Follow the Hop around and see how these creations changed from start to finish…you might be surprised to see how these cards finished up!

I coloured the Toucan using Stampin’ Blends. Did you know Toucan’s come in all different colours? I researched them on Google and in the end looked up cartoon images for the Toucan. He was fun to colour!
The colours I used were…
poppy Parade
Parakeet Party
Azure Afternoon
Daffodil Delight
Pumpkin Pie
Basic Black
The back ground for this card was coloured using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel inks with a Blending Brush.
I wanted this card to look lush and bright, with lots of layers of different greens creating depth and flowers in bright colours.
After the Live had wrapped up I decided to add the Black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, as I felt it just need something to finish the flowers…to add a little bit of ‘POP!’

This card is a Fun Fold – Spanner Panel Card (why it’s called that …I don’t know). I liked this fun fold for this card because it highlights the Designer Series Paper beautifully. You get the hint of the scene on the front and then open it up to see more of the stunning meadows. Open the center flap to find the greeting….It’s a card that just keeps getting better.

Tips & Tricks
Side panels are 3.5cm wide (1 ⅜”), in the video the first base I cut it was too narrow, you will see me discard that one and re cut.
I used Window Sheet across the base so it allows the view of the meadow to be seen through the gate. Rather than blocking it off with solid cardstock.
The DSP on card front you could make the same width as center panel…either way would look great.
Colouring with the Stampin’ Up! ® Blends is very simple and you don’t need to use the same number of colours.

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. 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.
Our theme this month is a ‘Picture Inspiration’, – create a project using the below picture as your inspiration. It may be the colours, images or sketches. This challenge was given to us by Maheswari, I had a lot of fun creating this card, not only with the challenge but with ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle.
I have chosen 3 elements from the ‘Picture Inspiration’
3 Rectangle elements
Torn Edges
Elements from behind the last rectangle
Hey Chuck
This is my second card using the ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle and I seem to be creating a theme with these cards. They are bright and lots of fun, in both creating them as well as enjoying the finished card.
3 Rectangle elements – My use of the above elements is very broad as my chooks would not stay in the confines of the rectangles.
Torn Edges – The Lemon Lime Twist card stock is from the White Center Specialty Paper and when torn the white core shows.
Elements from behind the last rectangle – The die cut sun, wind vane and ‘Rise & Shine’ sign and the elements from behind the last rectangle.
How to Make….
Cut all cardstock and score.
Card Mat – Tear approx 1cm off top and bottom of Lemon Lime Twist White Center Specialty Paper and adhere to the card base. Keep torn off pieces, one to be used on the card insert.
Tip- If you want the white core to be on the front of the Card Base, have right side up and tear towards yourself.
Die cut 3 rectangles with the Deckled Rectangles using the 2nd smallest die.
Die cut Sun and Wind Vanes
Stamp Chock and Fence images in Memento Tuxedo Black. You can see how I coloured fences and chocks from my YouTube Video -Live with Michele
Fences and Chooks coloured with Stampin’ Blends
Fences using Blends – Crumb Cake Combo & Bronze
Chooks
Bodies- Daffodil Delight Combo, Wild Wheat
Tails – Poppy Parade, Tranquil Tide
Tails – Tranquil Tide, Granny Apple Green, Starry Sky
Use Deckled Rectangles to cut sentiment – there is no die the right size for this, I used a larger die to cut 2 sides & then moved die to cut other 2 sides.
With blending brush and Crumb Cake Ink colour the sentiment.
Adhere the 3 rectangles to card front, leave room to slip sun behind last rectangle.
Using Multi Purpose Glue adhere the fences onto the rectangles.
Add dimensionals to the back of the chooks and add to card front.
Tuck sun behind the last rectangle.
Glue wind vane and sentiment to card front.
Card Insert
Glue one of the torn Lemon Lime Twist White Center Specialty Paper pieces to the bottom edge of the card insert.
Add fence and Wind Vane
Stamp ‘It’s your Birthday’ sentiment with Early Espresso Ink.

You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed – so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin’ Up! ® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin’ Up!® teams.
This week on my ‘Live with Michele’ I created this fun card using the Stampin’ Up!® ‘Hey Chuck’ Bundle. I was inspired by lots of different cards created by some very talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators.
The rooster – Chuck! I coloured using the Stampin Blends, on my video below you will see what colours I used and how they were used to create this ‘Loud and a bit Crazy’ Rooster.
I also added clouds with a template made using the Basic Boarders Die and Starry Sky Link brushed on with a blending Brush.

If you have been sitting on the fence not sure if you should JOIN the Stampin’ Up! Family or not….well now is the time to jump down and JOIN.
Today my card I have created to give to friend that has just become a first time Grandmother.
I thought the Lama from the Zoo Crew Suite was a must for this card, with her sitting there busy knitting away….maybe creating something fun for a new baby.
I stamped the Lama with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured it using Stampin’ Up! Blends.
When layering the Designer series Paper I felt it needed a bit of a lift, the two pieces of DSP with a white background was just too similar and needed to be a little different. A good way to change this with out completely changing the paper is to colour it. There are many ways you can colour your DSP and for this card I used the Lemon Lolly Blends. By using the Brush Nib end of your blend, colour the DSP – making sure you use the side of the brush not the point.
How to make this card…
If you get lost for ideas on card layouts, check out places like Pinterest. Here you can find lots of ideas by searching ‘Card Templates’ or ‘Card Sketches’. CardMaps and MojoSketch on Pinterest. I have a board on my Pinterest site called ‘Card Templates’ were I have saved card ideas. Sometimes I use these ideas when I’m feeling a bit lost for an idea or need some inspiration. When you do use an idea that not your own and share on Social Media (etc), then give credit to Where or Who inspired you.
