Pacific Point is a “new again” colour. It was an In Color a couple of years ago and is now returning as a permanent addition to the Brights Collection. Scroll to the end of this post to see a colour comparison to some of the other Stampin’ Up! blues.
As you can see from this card, Pacific Point is a strong and vibrant blue. Here I matched it up with black and white. I stamped the flowers from Inspired by Nature twice. First on the Pacific Point cardstock and a second time on the Whisper White cardstock. After layering the Whisper White cardstock onto Basic Black, I lined up the two stamped images and adhered.
To highlight the stamped image a little more, I added three black brads from the Vintage Brads assortment (on the Last Chance Accessories List – get ’em while you can!) and 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon in Basic Black. I am really starting to love this narrow ribbon. To finish the card, I added one of the greetings from Inspired By Nature with stampin’ dimensionals and added a full card of Basic Black cardstock.
Last night I spent some time arranging my ink pads into the new Colour Collections. And they look great! Pacific Point fits so well into the new Brights Collection.

There are some exciting new colours being introduced in the next catalogue and one of them is Cherry Cobbler. This is a rich, vibrant red that is more elegant than our other reds. It is new to the Regals Collection for Stampin’ Up! To see a comparison of similar colours, keep reading. And keep checking my blog as I introduce the other new colours in the coming days and weeks.
To create this card, I used the new Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder for the Big Shot with Whisper White cardstock. I then layered the Whisper White cardstock onto Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then onto Whisper White again to make the card.
Since I didn’t have Cherry Cobbler ribbon, I made my own with the Whisper White satin ribbon. Scroll down to the end of this blog post to see how I coloured my ribbon.
Next, I stamped an image from the new Friends Never Fade stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink and layered it onto Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Lastly, I stamped a greeting in the same colour and punched it with the 1-1/4″ circle which was then layered onto a 1-3/8″ circle of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered with stampin’ dimensionals to the card.
A simple card but the elegance of Cherry Cobbler makes it special.

TIP: Hold your ribbon onto the ink pad with a sponge and pull across the pad to colour the ribbon. Let dry. I went across the pad only once and let the colour soak in. Two passes across the ink pad was too dark.

This new set, Artistic Etchings, will be in the new Idea Book & Catalogue available in just two weeks. A set of 6, it also includes a crown, key, and Eiffel tower in addition to the images shown here.
I also used two new colours on this card – Early Espresso and Marina Mist. Don’t you love them?
And a sneak peek isn’t complete without showing a couple of new accessories as well. Here I used the new 1/8″ taffeta ribbon in Marina Mist (note the white trimmed edges) and the new 2-3/8″ scallop circle punch. I am so happy to have a larger punch that matches the 1-3/4″ circle.
This new set is so romantic – I can just imagine myself having coffee at a wonderful bistro in Paris.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, my stamping thoughts turned to a masculine card. One of my favourite stamp sets to use for “guy cards” is this one, Nature’s Nest. See another card I made with this same stamp set here.
The colours I choose for this card are Soft Suede, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla. I added a designer series paper from Travel Journal to add an additional Sahara Sand pattern.
The hardware is Antique Brass for both the Jumbo Eyelets and the Vintage Brads. The only other embellishment is the Soft Suede ribbon.
A quick and easy birthday or Father’s Day card for the men in your life.

This Simple Saturday card takes advantage of the Big Shot for easy card making. The only stamping on this card is “thanks” from the Thankful Thinking stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink.
I created a card of Rich Razzleberry and added a top layer of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. Next, I created a piece of layered paper with a finished size of 3-1/4″ x 4″. I layered Rich Razzlberry and Whisper White cardstock and a top piece of polka dot Rich Razzleberry Patterns designer series paper. To this I added a length of Rich Razzleberry polka dot grosgrain ribbon, dotted side down.
Although Rich Razzleberry has been added as a permanent colour to the Brights Colour Collection in the new catalogue, the Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon and Patterns designer series papers will not carry over. Own these great products today!
