Adventure Together Bundle Card

Today's card is so much fun. It uses the Adventure Together bundle. We have a travel trailer and love to 'glamp' mostly in state parks. When I saw this stamp set, I knew I would need it. We made this card in my monthly card class and my ladies liked it. I took a chance because none of them go camping but I thought maybe they had friends who did and who would love this card.

Don't you love that designer series paper? It's called Thoughtful Journey There are several choices for the background layer, it was hard to decide so I made cards using several options.

Did you notice the shading around the circle? I used a sponge dauber to add Crumb Cake ink around it so it doesn't look so plain. The dies have little circles for the hubcaps and the door! The trees are stamped and die cut, too. This card is so much fun to make.

Here is the VIDEO showing how to make this card. 

Let me know if you make this card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stampin',

Brand New 2025-2026 In Colors Introduced this Week

 Hello!

It's an exciting week at Stampin' Up! A brand new catalog was released plus brand new Online Exclusives. Oh my! So much to take in. So let me help. 

INTRODUCING: THE NEW IN COLORS

This Suite of products is called Floral Impressions Suite Collection. It is an online exclusive so you won't see it in a catalog. The designer series paper is called Floral Impressions and coordinates with many colors. I purposely used the new In Colors so showcase them.

Let me name them for you:

Top Left: Secret Sea, Timid Tiger, Darling Ducklin

Bottom Left: Strawberry Slush, Cloud Cover

A note about Cloud Cover ink pad-it will not be released to the public due to an issue with quality. Apparently the ink reacts to the foam and causes the color to not hold true to the standard that Stampin' Up! is known for. So option: purchase the small uninked spots and a bottle of reinker and you can make your own ink pad. Honestly, I started my Stampin' Up! journey with the small ink spots and was happy to ink large and small stamps with them. The other products will be released including the Stampin' Blends and marker.

So tell me? What do you think? If Strawberry Slush looks familiar, it is a returning color! I love Secret Sea, it is a deep, deep blue.
