Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Introducing Peaceful Pine

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I completed my round up of the new In Colors by introducing Peaceful Pine.

As Wimbledon also started last week, it was time for my annual ‘inspired by Wimbledon’ project, so this new green fitted in perfectly.

My colour combination was Peaceful Pine, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Basic White.

To begin, leaves from the Greenery  Lane Stamp Set were stamped around the edges in Peaceful Pine and Fresh Freesia. The Two-Step leaf was stamped 1st generation for both the outline and inner.

Then, the small flowers were added in Lemon Lolly.

Next, the circles were cut out and the sentiment from Exciting Times Stamp Set was added. These were then layered together. I of course had to use Circle Punches for the sentiment to represent a tennis ball!

A length of the Essentials Baker’s Twine was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and made into a swoosh.

The sentiment circles were then raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, Iridescent Pearls were coloured, again using a Stampin’ Blend, and added to the centre of three of the flowers.

The picture below shows a comparison of the new Peaceful Pine In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.

And here are all of the colours in the new In Color 2026-2028 Collection. All of the new colours, along with the brand new ink pad design can be found in the current Catalogue.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Circle Sayings Bundle

At this time of year, I normally design a Card & Cuppa project inspired by Wimbledon. This year is no exception and also timely as the Championships start today.

It uses the Circle Sayings Stamp Set and Punch Bundle, a new Bundle in the Annual Catalogue.

My Wimbledon colour combination is Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Basic White, plus Smoky Slate for some stamping.

To begin with, an image is randomly stamped across the bottom of the project to create a background.

This is then covered with strips of cardstock in my chosen colours.

A circular outside sentiment from the set is stamped, with the iced cake then stamped in the centre in Smoky Slate. It is cut out using the Circle Punch from the Bundle. I like to think that the circle shape represents a tennis ball.

Staying with my colour scheme, the cake is coloured using both Assortment 1 and 2 of the Watercolor Pencils. Colouring lines were blended away using a Blender Pen.

‘Happy Birthday’ is stamped on a piece of Daffodil Delight and stuck to the back of the cake piece.

This is then stuck to the project using Dimensionals.

I like this design as it is quick and easy to replicate for lots of different occasions.
