New In Colour 2025-2027 Cloud Cover Fancy Fold

Welcome to the first week of the Insta Hop with the Art With Heart Team for 2025-2026. If you would like to follow the hop please head to my Instagram page

@handstamped_by_rachel.

I made tonight's card with one of the new DSP from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue, called Beautiful Gallery. I really, really hate cutting into a piece of beautiful DSP so I was happy that this card uses a whole sheet of paper.

I cut a 2" piece off the right hand side of the DSP sheet and then trimmed across the top to of both pieces to 14cm.

For the card base I started with half an A4 sheet of cardstock. I scored the long side at 10.5 cm and 5.25cm. I folded the card in half and then folded back the front piece on the score line.

The front DSP piece was matted on a piece of Secret Sea cardstock. Secret Sea is another of the new 2025-2027 In Colours.

If you would like a copy of the new catalogue and do not already have a demonstrator please contact me and I will get one to you.

Sneak Peek Sunrise Sailing

The card I’m sharing with you today uses a new bundle from the soon to be released 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue.

The bundle is called Sunrise Sailing and includes a stamp set, dies and a 3D hybrid embossing folder, which means you can insert the dies into the folder and cut and emboss at the same time.

This card also features three of the new In Colours. The card base is Secret Sea, which is a deep, inky blue. The card front is Cloud Cover, a soft blue grey and the stripes on the sails are Strawberry Slush, which is a returning In Colour from about 9 years ago. It’s a bright pink/red colour that is the perfect pop of colour for this nautical card.

The new catalogue goes live on the 6th of May. If you do not already have a demonstrator and live in Australia, contact me and I will send you a copy.

Happy stamping ,

Rachel

Real Red Arched Wishes

Another card from the Arches Wishes Stamp Set. This card was made for our team Instagram Hop featuring the Stampin' Up! colour Real Red. As it's called it really is a true red colour that's one of my favourite for Christmas projects. I thought it was a bit early in the year for Christmas so I went for a birthday project instead.

First the cupcake was stamped on the circle. I also stamped the cupcake on a couple of the sheets from the Take a Bow DSP. I cut out the icing and the base of the cake from these sheets to colour the image. The candle was stamped on White Glimmer Paper in Stazon Black Ink.

The background Real Red piece was embossed with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. The stars were cut using the Merriest Trees Dies.

Thanks,

Rachel

Even More Darling Dinos

Hi stamping friends, I have more projects to share with you using the Darling Dinos stamp set.

The first card is a baby card, dino was coloured in Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia. The greeting is from the Storybook Friends stamp set. I used a piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP and a strip of retired Balmy Blue Gingham DSP.

The next card uses the same cute dino, this time coloured with Shy Shamrock Blends. I used a strip of Full of Life DSP on top of an embossed piece of Shy Shamrock card stock. The tiny top hat was coloured in Black and Shy Shamrock Blends Markers. The Shaded Spruce circle was cut with an Everyday Details Die.

The last card has a Highland Heather coloured Dino, holding balloons from the Spring Corners stamp set. The greeting is also from this stamp set. I used a piece of retired DSP (I have sooooo much that I have been holding, it’s time to start using some) for the card front.

I hope you are inspired by my projects, if so theses cute Darling Dinos are only available in the catalogue until the 3rd of May!

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Pumpkin Pie Darling Dinos

Hello stampers. I made this card for my team Instagram Hop featuring Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the dinos in Memento Black Ink and coloured with my Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below.

I have used the Fancy Borders Dies to cut the edge of the card. As I was making this card I was getting very frustrated that the dies are wider than the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine. I wanted to cut the full width to the card base and could not do this with the dies that are too wide.

I finally came up with a solution. I adhered the die to the edge of the cardstock with some Washi Tape.
