/ Leave a Comment

The Garden Poetry Suite is one of Stampin’ Up!’s newest Online Exclusives featuring soft watercolor florals and airy layers. The pretty colors, gentle florals, and little garden touches that make you want to sit down and create something beautiful. Today I’m sharing a few of Stampin’ Up!’s sample projects, they show off this suite’s charm beautifully and are sure to spark ideas for your next crafty moment.

Stampin’ Up! created some truly lovely samples for this suite, and I couldn’t resist sharing them with you today. Each one shows off a different side of the Garden Poetry Suite – soft watercolor layers, delicate florals, and those sweet little garden touches that make this suite feel so peaceful.

What I love most about Garden Poetry is how easy it is to create something soft and beautiful without overthinking it — the suite does so much of the work for you.

Aren’t these samples wonderful? I love how they capture that soft, watercolor charm. I’m so glad you popped in to take a peek with me. If something caught your eye, you’ll find the Garden Poetry products featured below.

Happy Stamping!

A Beautiful Best Wishes Card with Retiring Favorites

/ Leave a Comment

Today I’m sharing a soft, elegant Best Wishes card I created with the gorgeous Layers of Beauty Bundle. This bundle is one of my favorites because of the way the stamps, dies, and layering stencils work together. They create beautiful, dimensional florals with just a bit of blending. If this bundle has been on your radar, now’s the time to grab it — it’s currently on the Last Chance List, which means it won’t be around much longer.

For this card, I wanted the flowers to have a bright spring feel, so I reached for the retiring 2024–2026 In Colors. Using Blending Brushes gave the flowers a soft, watercolor‑style shading I love. Each stencil layer adds depth and detail, which makes these flowers so pretty.

Once the blending was finished, I cut out the flowers with the coordinating dies. I die‑cut part of the floral cluster a second time and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the bouquet a little extra pop. To let the flowers be the focus, I kept the background simple with a black layer on a Petunia Pop Two Tone Cardstock card base. I love how the contrast makes the florals really stand out. I finished the card with the “Best Wishes” sentiment, which works beautifully for birthdays, weddings, showers, or any moment that calls for a heartfelt greeting. Then added a few Iridescent Pearls.

This card came together quickly — that’s the magic of the Layers of Beauty Bundle. I hope it inspires you to pull out your inks and create something beautiful today.

Best Wishes Card Measurements:

  • Petunia Pop Cardstock Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score on the long side at 5-1/2″
  • Basic Black Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″

Every two years, Stampin’ Up! refreshes it’s In Color lineup, and that means it’s almost time to say goodbye to the 2024–2026 In Colors. These colors will officially retire in April 2026. We are now in the final stretch to purchase products featuring these pretty spring inspiring shades.

The 2024–2026 Outgoing In Colors include:

When Do the 2024–2026 In Colors Retire?

The 2024–2026 In Colors will officially retire in April 2026, as the 2025-2026 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog ends. As the retirement date approaches, products tied to these colors may sell out at different times.
Inventory levels and demand will vary. Once items move to the Last Chance List in April 2026, they will be available only while supplies last.

These In Colors have been easy to use across many types of projects. This includes both simple card designs and more detailed paper crafting projects. With retirement approaching, now is a good time to decide which items you want to keep on hand. Availability will be limited as supplies run out. Ready to shop now? Click on any of the images below.
