Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the Pals are showcasing the fresh and fabulous 2026–2028 Stampin’ Up! In Colors! Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or new to the fun, these new hues are sure to spark your creativity. Be sure to click through the links below to “hop” along and see how each Pal brought these gorgeous colors to life. You’re bound to find a few new favorites—and a little inspiration along the way!

The 2026-2028 In Colors are beautiful: Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine, and Hydrangea Hue. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Barely Blush. This light shade of pink is the star of the show on today’s card, with a card base cut from Barely Blush Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The six squares were cut from Bloom Boutique Designer Paper with a Stylish Shapes Die, layered on cardstock for thickness, and attached with Dimensionals.The Bloom Boutique Designer Paper has tiny bits of all the 2026-2028 In Colors, plus gold highlights.

Next, I used Words & Wishes Dies to cut “Happy Birthday” from Gold Foil. After backing the words with cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place.

For the inside, I cut a similar pattern of Bloom Boutique DSP, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, and glued it in place. (I cut it a spec smaller, so it wouldn’t hang over the edge). Then, I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Stylish Shapes Die for a sentiment from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped “you make life sweeter than cake” in Crisp Cantaloupe Ink. The cake, also from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Barely Blush Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Words & Wishes Die, and glued in place.

Here’s another view of the inside, where you can see the gold highlights.
