As we get closer to the May 5 release of Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog, I’m excited to share another sneak peek of products that absolutely deserve a spot on your wish list.
Today’s card combines three new Designer Series Papers, four new In Colors and an impressions die that delivers exactly the kind of “wow!” we all love to create for our recipients.
Here’s the card I made to share with you today:
Don’t let the clean and simple layout fool you – this card is packed with incredible details. I combined three brand-new papers, each bringing something unique (and completely irresistible!) to the design.
Painted Patterns. The polka dot background is a Crisp Cantaloupe pattern from the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP. It’s cheerful, bold and the perfect foundation for this card.
Bloom Boutique Specialty. To build on that In Color goodness, I added a narrow strip of Crisp Cantaloupe from the Bloom Boutique Specialty DSP. This collection highlights all five new In Colors with a slightly more refined feel.
Artisan Sketched Garden. If you know me, you won’t be surprised – this one is my favorite! The black-and-white designs are absolutely stunning and practically beg to be colored and fussy cut.
The floral panel at the center of the card is cut directly from the Artisan Sketched Garden paper and colored with four of the new 2026-2028 In Colors: Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue and Peaceful Pine.
I paired the florals with a simple sentiment from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set to keep the focus on that gorgeous bouquet.
How beautiful are these colors together?!
Did you notice the detailed frame around the flowers? I die-cut the frame with the Phrases & Frames Dies and then ran it back through with the new Impressions Plate to emboss it with incredible texture and detail. That extra step really elevates the entire card.
And here’s a closer look at the detailed impression left by the Impressions Plate:
And because every card deserves a little sparkle, I finished it off with five Rhinestone Basic Jewels for just the right amount of shine.
There are so many thoughtful details in these new products – and I can already tell they’re going to be favorites!
Last Thoughts
This card is proves you don’t need a complicated layout to create something impactful. By layering beautiful papers, adding thoughtful texture and keeping the design focused, you can let the products do the heavy lifting.
And these new products? They’re definitely doing their job.
