Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #399 | Inspiration Picture

April 14, 2026 by Cindy Coutts +

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #399, where we have an Inspiration Picture Challenge for you and hope that you join us!

Tammy picked out our inspiration picture long before the new In Colors were revealed and boy, did she nail this one. All of the colors in the picture are in the new 2026-2028 In Colors of Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine, and Hydrangea Hue.

And below is our Inspiration Picture that beautifully depicts spring and summer.

I used all of the new In Colors for my card today featuring the Bloom Boutique Suite Collection in the new May – August 2026 Catalog on pages 16-19.

I started out with a Basic White Thick CS base and layered on a piece of Hydrangea Hue CS. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White Regular CS using the new April 2026 Product of the Month of Eyelet Blooms Die, all of which were adhered to the card base with liquid adhesive.

Next, I stamped the flowers from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set onto Basic White Regular CS with Barely Blush, Golden Glow, and Hydrangea Hue, with the leaves stamped in Granny Apple Green, all of which were cut from their coordinating Boutique Blossoms Dies. The images were adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and liquid adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped onto Barely Blush CS with our new Basic Black Hybrid Ink Pad, that was adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly, five 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies were used to embellish.

For the inside, a standalone flower was cut from Barely Blush CS with a spring of leaves to embellish + a butterfly, with the sentiment stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.

Be sure to play along with us today and I will see you tomorrow for a video tutorial. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Crafting! Cindy
