Angela's PaperArts: New In Colors & Stampin' Up! 2025-26 Annual Catalogue

The new Stampin' Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue launched today. If you don't have a copy of the catalogue, here's a link to the online version.

With its launch comes five new 2025-2027 In Colors being:

• Strawberry Slush (a returning favourite)
• Timid Tiger
• Darling Duckling
• Cloud Cover & 
• Secret Sea.

I've created five cards using the new Stampin' Up! 2025-2027 In Colors which also features the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & dies bundle.

The Beautiful Motifs bundle's die set has two dies which completely cut out an embellishment and three other dies which partially cut an embellishment & leaves it embedded in the paper.  I've used each of these dies on my cards to show you their potential for both cardmaking and scrapbooking

Here's a close-up of the Strawberry Slush card:

TIP: Use the triangular motif die instead of traditional photo corners on your scrapbooking layouts.

Here's a close-up of the Timid Tiger card. I also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder for extra texture on the background.

Here's a closeup of the Darling Duckling card. I used the Unbounded Love dies for the sentiment mat.

Here's a closeup of the Cloud Cover card

TIP: The flourish die can be snipped apart so that you can use part of the flourish anywhere on a project. An example can be seen on the top left of this card.

Please note: The Cloud Cover large inkpad will not be available as the chemicals in that ink reacted with Stampin' Up!'s firm foam inkpad. The good news is that there are two options to still get this colour in an inkpad, it will be a 2.5cm/1" inkpad instead of the large size. The options are:

1. Purchase the Cloud Cover ink refill bottle and Uninked Stampin' Spots. You can then ink up one of the spots with the Cloud Cover ink as the ink spot pads are made of a different material and aren't affected by this ink's formula, or
2. Purchase the Classic Stampin' Spot Small Assortment 1 which has five different coloured ink spots, one of which is Cloud Cover, all inked-up and ready to use.

And lastly, here's the closeup of the Secret Sea card. Given the name of this colour, I paired it with the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder for a textured background.

The current Stampin' Up! products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.
