April 9, 2026April 8, 2026 | 1 Comment

One of the things I love to do when we see the 5 new Stampin’ Up! In Colors every year is pull out similar colors and compare them.. so today we’ll be chatting about the 2026-2028 In Color collection.

I shared these cards last Friday on my unboxing video, and I’ll be sharing details on these cards on a blog post soon, but I wanted to review these fun new colors!

Five handmade greeting cards in peach, green, pink, blue, and yellow feature embossed floral backgrounds, stamped butterfly accents, and messages like “Hello Friend” and “Best Wishes.” A white Stampin’ Up! ink pad sits in the center. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Barely Blush & Crisp Cantaloupe

A photo displays Stampin’ Up! color swatches: papers labeled Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo, with a color chart comparing Barely Blush and Crisp Cantaloupe to other pinks. The heading highlights 2026–2028 In Colors. A PattyStamps.com card is included. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

During my In Color review Video (see the replay here), I shared that I LOVE the retiring Pretty in Pink with the new Barely Blush.. how pretty are those 2 colors together!?

And for Crisp Cantaloupe, I love Flirty Flamingo or Petal Pink as color buddies!

Golden Glow

Colors you may be wondering about that are similar to Golden Glow, are Daffodil Delight & Crushed Curry… again, perfect color buddies!

Hydrangea Hue

Stampin’ Up! Colors I thought might be similar to the new Hydrangea Hue In Color would be Misty Moonlight or the previously retired Orchid Oasis.

A side-by-side comparison of blue Stampin’ Up! cardstock: “Misty Moonlight” on the left and “Orchid Oasis” on the right. Text above highlights "Hydrangea Hue" as a new 2026–2028 In Color, comparing it to Misty Moonlight and Orchid Oasis. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Peaceful Pine

Colors that you may find close to the new Peaceful Pine would be Shaded Spruce and Garden Green.

A color chart titled "2026–2028 In Color" displays five paint swatches—Barely Blush (pale pink), Crisp Cantaloupe (coral), Golden Glow (mustard yellow), Hydrangea Hue (blue), and Peaceful Pine (forest green)—with text labels. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Simple Tip for April Product of the Month

April 8, 2026April 7, 2026 | 4 Comments

If you struggle with getting perfect detailed cuts with any detailed die, you can use this tip!! I turned my Eyelet Blooms die UPSIDE DOWN in my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine (with the paper on top of the die) and all the little “dots” came right out!!

A hand holds an orange paper with a floral eyelet pattern, showing clean cutouts. Below is a similar piece labeled "Avoid This" with incomplete cuts. A metallic die is visible. Text provides a tip for better results and names this as April 2026 Product of the Month. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Do you have the Eyelet Blooms die, April 2026 Stampin’ Up! product of the month yet? It’s so pretty! I made a couple cards for you featuring this die and the Lovely Blossoms designer paper!

Two handmade Mother's Day cards with floral designs are shown. One card is peach with illustrated orange flowers and reads “So happy for you.” The other is blue and white with floral patterns and says “Happy Mother’s Day.” A floral metal die sits below.

Tip! don’t forget about die cutting designer paper… isn’t it so pretty as the background of this card? My focal points are pretty colored flowers from the Flowers Fair background stamp. See coloring tips and more info about that stamp here.

A handmade card features peach and blue floral designs with the text "SO HAPPY FOR YOU." An ornate die-cut shape showcases flowers in the center. An arrow points to it with the note, “REMINDER: DIE CUT DSP FOR A FUN EFFECT.” A die-cutting plate rests nearby. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
