Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop! If you’re hopping along with us, you’ve probably arrived from another talented Pals designer. This month we’re celebrating the NEW 2026–2028 In Colors, and I couldn’t wait to put them to work on a clean and simple card featuring the adorable Help Me Grow Bundle.
For today’s project, I skipped the traditional stamping and reached for my Stampin’ Blends to color the die-cut pieces. I love how coloring die-cuts allows you to add depth, shading, and personality while showcasing beautiful color combinations.
Featured 2026–2028 In Colors
I used all five of the new In Colors on this card:
- Peaceful Pine – colored the leafy plant for a rich, natural look.
- Golden Glow – added warm sunshine tones to the flower pot.
- Hydrangea Hue – brought a soft pop of color to the gardening gloves.
- Barely Blush – blended beautifully with Hydrangea Hue on the gloves.
- Crisp Cantaloupe – added a cheerful touch to the tool handle.
The combination feels fresh, modern, and perfectly suited for a garden-inspired design.
When coloring die-cuts with Stampin’ Blends, start with a light layer of color and gradually build depth in the shadow areas. Because the pieces are already die-cut, it’s easy to rotate them as you color, making shading more natural and comfortable.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope this project inspires you to pull out your Stampin’ Blends and experiment with coloring die-cuts. The new In Colors are absolutely gorgeous, and this card was a fun way to showcase all five on one project.
Now it’s time to continue along the Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop and see how the other designers are featuring these beautiful new colors! Happy hopping!
