Today's card is soooo pretty! I am always a fan of any card that features Pool Party and Pretty Peacock.  I'm using a couple of new DSP's on this card.  The fun polka dot pattern is from the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and WOW is this DSP amazing!  One side has gorgous patterns you can use for any occasion, the other has black and white patterns.  The black and white piece I used however, is from the Artisan Sketched DSP.  Overall this card is pretty simple but oh so pretty!  I did some ink blending and ink splattering on the Basic White piece to make the butterflies pop.

The butterflies are stamped in Pool Party for the solid part and Pretty Peacock for the detail image. I love the dotted flying lines. I've been watching butterflies in my backyard while I'm out with my puppy, I watch the butterflies, she loves the shadows from the butterflies. They really don't fly straight so I love the curvy, loopy lines. Inside the card I lined it with a piece of Basic White and added another strip of the striped DSP

The featured embellishment this week are the Array Of Dots.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.  

Today we are pulling out all the techniques for this gorgeous card.  I white heat embossed the butterflies on three different colors.  I used Poppy Parade, Fresh Freesia and the new Hydrangea Hue. After they were cooled I used the coordinating inks to add some shading to the center of them with my Water Painter.  It's super simple water coloring but adds lots of depth and texture to each butterfly.  I punched them all out and set them aside.  The greeting is also white heat embossed.

For the background I used a Blending Brush and Hydrangea Hue Ink and made a 'spray' of color from the top left to the bottom right of my Basic White Cardstock. Make sure to go lighter, you can always add ink but you can't take it away. To add even more texture to the background, I added splattering with my Hydrangea Hue Stampin' Blends. Finally, I wanted some black embellishments so I used a Sharpie to color some of the Array Of Dots to get some deep black ones. You can also use your Basic Black Stampin' Blends but I found the Sharpie to cover better and quicker.

NEW June Product of the Month

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centered around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives. Every month we’ll release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good!

Available June 2, 2026:

Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account. 

A New Product Every Month. Stampin' Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. You can view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page. 

Qualifying Amounts. You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Your cart total MUST be $75 or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your cart until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. 

Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

Stampin' Blends vs Watercolor Pencils

When you make a card, how do you know what coloring medium to use?  We have so many different ways to color.  For today's experiment I'm going to focus on Stampin' Blends and Watercolor Pencils.  Let's start with asking the question what look do you want?  Stampin' Blends will naturally give you a brighter, smoother finish.  While, Watercolor Pencils will leave you with a softer look.  Let's dive into this card made identically, but with different coloring mediums.  NOTE: when I made these cards I didn't have the new Hybrid ink so I'll list and explain the inks I used.  I'm using the Make A Wish Set.  Grab this in my Online Store today, it's sooooo cute! First up is Stampin' Blends.  

For my blends card I stamped all my images in Memento.  Memento ink works brilliantly with Stampin' Blends.  I stamped the fence and stones on a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Basic White.  The well, bushes, flowers and duck were stamped on another piece and fussy cut after coloring, yes fussy cut, sorry there are no dies for this set.  This is the same process for the pencil card too.  

Check the supply list linked below for all the colors used.  Stampin' Blends are vibrant and bold.  The coloring is smooth and clean.  You can miss with coloring with Stampin' Blends. The downside, you have to have a lot of colors, especially for this card.  That could be quite an investment.  

 

Let's dive into the Watercolor Pencil card.  Like I mentioned above I stamped everything the same and I used Basic White Cardstock.  Would I typically use Basic White when water coloring, no!  But, with the pencils you're not adding a lot of water, in fact you can even color with a Wink Of Stella Brush or Blender Pen (note: our Blender Pens are NOT Stampin' Blends).  So, because a lot of water isn't needed our white cardstock is fine.  That being said, you need to be diligent NOT to add a lot of water to the cardstock.  For these images I stamped them in StazOn Ink.  I'll be honest, I hate StazOn.  I don't like the way it stamps, it's sometimes hard to get a clean solid image.  Maybe that's just me, but I'm not a fan of StazOn but to water color you need to use a waterproof ink.  

You can see the softer, muted tone that the pencils give.  Can you get bold, intense color with the Watercolor Pencils.  Yes, of course.  But it takes more layers and more time.  But if softer if what you're going for this is a winner!  Additionally, the cost of the pencils is far cheaper than the cost of the blends.  You can get both packages of our Watercolor Pencils for less than three colors of our Stampin' Blends.  If you're just getting into coloring this is a great cost effective option.  

For both cards I lightly ink blended the background, sky and ground.  So what's the verdict?  Are you team Stampin' Blends or Watercolor Pencils?  Do you have someone in your life who would prefer one over the other?  This was a fun comparison, I hope you enjoyed it.  I have two supply lists linked below. One for each card.  The measurements for both cards are identical.
