There’s something so exciting about opening up brand new crafting supplies… and even better when you get to play with them straight away! ✨
In my recent YouTube live, I shared an unboxing of some gorgeous new Stampin’ Up! products and couldn’t resist creating a card right then and there using the beautiful new Moonlit Flora Suite.
This card was the result—and I am completely in love with how it turned out 💛
Featuring the Brand New 2026–2028 In Colours
This project was the perfect way to showcase the fresh new colour palette, including:
🌿 Peaceful Pine
🍑 Crisp Cantaloupe
💜 Hydrangea Hue
🌸 Barely Blush
✨ Golden Glow
These colours work so beautifully together—soft, earthy, and just the right amount of brightness to make your projects pop. I especially love how the deeper tones pair with those lighter, dreamy shades for contrast.

a closer look at the details


For this card, I layered elements from the Moonlit Flora Suite to create a rich, textured focal point—mixing die cuts, stamping, and a touch of dimension.
The embossed background adds depth, while the pops of colour from the new In Colours really bring everything to life. And of course… a little embellishment and texture to finish it all off 💫
Inside, I kept things soft and simple with coordinating stamping to tie the whole design together.
Created Using The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box #1
If you’ve ever sat at your craft desk wondering “where do I even start?”… this is exactly where sketches come in 👏
This card was created using Sketch #1 from The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box, and honestly—it made the whole process so effortless.
The sketch provided the layout and measurements, which meant I could focus on the fun part:
✨ layering textures
✨ playing with colour
✨ adding those finishing details
No overthinking. No second guessing. Just creating.

Why Sketches Are a Game-Changer
Using a sketch is such a simple way to:
✔️ Speed up your card making
✔️ Use what you already have
✔️ Build confidence with layouts
✔️ Get out of a creative rut
And the best part? You can take the same sketch and create something completely different every single time just by changing your colours, stamps, or theme.
