Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Vicki Boucher. We welcome Jacque Williams as our Guest Designer.

Oh boy! Today I was under the pump with little time to create a project. Little time usually goes hand in hand with little mojo ... so what is a girl to do ..... copy tomorrow's project layout, raid the random scraps strewn across the bomb site (aka desk) and chuck it all together! Not bad if I do say so myself. Sometimes thinking (agonising) less about a project gives a much better outcome .... sometimes!

A few new products from the September - December 2026 Catalogue arrived today so of course I had to use something from that! The Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies as so versatile and I know I will be using them on high rotation!

I've teamed that with a few pieces left over from my adventures with the new Stampin' Hot Foil System. I love how striking the gold leaves and sentiment are. They did all of the hard work for me. I've added a little touch of colour to the leaves by using Pool Party Stampin' Blends on the Pool Party Two Toned Cardstock.

Sometimes cardmaking doesn't have to be complicated and take a long time. It is okay to cut yourself some slack (she says to herself) and quickly whip up something so you can post it to someone (or in my case today post online!).

If you would like a copy of the upcoming September - December 2026 Catalogue from Stampin' Up! please contact me. It is full of lots of fab new products.
