Stampin’ Up! Paradise Garden You Are Appreciated

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. We’re having such a great time here in Long Beach at OnStage. The weather is beautiful, even though we’re inside most of the day. We’ve had a couple team dinners that always have a lot of laughing and chatting going on. We’ve been on the go since Thursday afternoon. Getting to see the new catalog was awesome and all the new products coming. I just love the new layout of the catalogs that we’re going to have.

Today’s card is one that we made during our Stamping Studio with Jaimie Tuesday night for mystery stamping. Jaimie sent us measurements and walked us through putting the card together. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Bendy Front for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends. How was your week? We arrived in Long Beach yesterday afternoon and have been very busy since we arrived. That’s one thing about OnStage that I love, we’re on the go constantly. It was great getting together with the team members last night, seeing people that we’ve only seen online and chatting. We all went out to dinner together and had a great time. We’ve got lots planned for today already, can’t wait to get all the sneak peeks.

Today I have a quick fun fold card that looks a lot harder than it actually is. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Bendy Front 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Bundle along with the Hobby Haven Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

New Magnetic Ink Pads – 2026-2028 In-Colors

With the 2024-2026 In-Colors retiring soon, we will be getting a new beautiful set of colors. Introducing the 2026-2028 In-Colors. We will get to play with these colors here at OnStage.

Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.

  • In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
  • In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.

Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.

The photo is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!  And they look beautiful!!  The new Magnetic Ink Pads in the new In Colors will be available to order May 5!  The colors are a little hard to read in the image, but here they are (from left to right):

  • Crisp Cantaloupe
  • Barely Blush
  • Golden Glow
  • Peaceful Pine
  • Hydrangea Hue

They’re all so soft and pretty!  Looking forward to being able to preorder these soon!!

Stampin’ Up! Filled with Sweetness for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. We went from one extreme to another here in NJ. We’re getting ready to float away with all the rain we’re having, yet we still have snow on the ground. I was hoping that March would come in really windy to dry up the ground a little.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.
