One of my favourite things about a colour challenge is seeing how everyone interprets colour differently — and for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge, I couldn’t wait to dive into the gorgeous new 2026–2028 In Colours from Stampin’ Up!

For my project, I paired the stunning new Opulent Oasis Bundle with a soft yet rich colour palette featuring the beautiful new In Colours. I really wanted this card to feel elegant and layered while still keeping a soft floral vibe.

Handmade floral card created with the 2026–2028 Stampin’ Up! In Colors and the Opulent Oasis bundle, showcasing layered die-cut foliage, pastel blue flowers, gold splatter details, dimensional embellishments, and a textured green mixed media background.

The star of this project is definitely the floral arrangement created using the brand new Impressions Dies. I absolutely love the texture and detail these dies create! To bring all the pieces to life, I coloured the floral elements using Stampin’ Blends, blending soft pinks, greens and delicate blue tones together for a dreamy look.

To contrast the softness of the florals, I created a deep textured green background with added splatter details and layered circles to help frame the focal point. The extra texture adds so much depth and really helps the florals stand out beautifully.

I also added some linen thread loops and embellishments for a little extra detail and movement — because I can never resist finishing touches like those!

The sentiment was kept simple with the bold “Best Wishes” greeting layered over the floral cluster to complete the card.

I have been absolutely loving creating with the new products lately, and this bundle has quickly become a favourite for building soft layered floral cards with lots of texture and dimension.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’d love to know — which of the new 2026–2028 In Colours is your favourite so far?
