2025-2026 Annual Catalog Product Share

Product shares for the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog offered by Mel's Inky Fingers.

It’s almost here – time to reserve your 2025-2026 Annual Catalog product share! These are only offered for a short period of time before a catalog launches, and gives you the opportunity to have a little of all the new papers, ribbons and embellishments being offered in the new catalog. In addition, since so many of our new products are offered online only, I am including the latest Online Exclusive release, too!

What are Product Shares

Product Shares – a product share is a partial pack of products, grouped and packaged for easy use. Because, let’s face it, we all love having all the new things! This is perfect for trying a little of everything at a fraction of the cost, giving us a great variety of products.

Paper Samplers – paper samplers are actually creative tools used to either display a paper collection, or as a resource while creating for designing or color matching. These are invaluable to coordinate products while you are working. Each collection set features a piece of all the patterns, the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information about the collection, and coordinating colors, all in a compact tool. The best part….once you no longer want the sampler, you can pull it apart and use the paper to create!

Color Fusers April 2025 Thoughtful Wishes

Welcome to the April blog hop where I am sharing a simple card made with the Thoughtful Wishes Bundle.

Stampin’ Up! recently released the list of items moving to the Last Chance section of my online store. And when I saw the colors for this month’s color challenge, I knew just what I wanted to work with!

It seems like each year when I pull items going away with the changing catalog, I find a couple treasures that didn’t get nearly enough love – and this year, the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set was one of those! This color challenge was perfect to coordinate with it! And if you want some great deals, or to get some items still on your wish list, now is the time to check out the Last Chance section that is while supplies last!

Creating this was pretty simple. I blended a bit of ink in the background, then stamped some of the greenery images to create a base for layering. Then I added the thistle images and my sentiment. It came together quickly.

The Thoughtful Wishes Bundle is beautiful! If you don’t have this in your stash, you might want to consider it before it’s gone! The coordinating dies are fabulous and I have used them a lot for layering elements on a variety of projects. They mix with so many other stamps and dies.

Adding layers of interest in the background made this fun to create! This project has ink blending, stamping and splattering to create the backdrop for the focal images.

To Create this Card

  • Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5-1/2″ in Basic White
  • Front Layer: 3-3/4″ x 5″ in Basic White
  • For Stamping: 4″ x 4″ in Basic White
  • Sentiment: 2″ x 1″ in Basic Black

Lightly blend a Balmy Blue area in center of front layer. Stamp the foliage image 2-3 times without reinking on card front in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Repeat on front layer, stamping twice. Stamp dots on front layer in Balmy Blue ink. Splatter layer with Basic Black ink and Wink of Stella. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp thistle image twice in Versamark ink on Basic White cardstock and heat emboss in black. Lightly watercolor, then die cut. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Versamark ink on Basic Black cardstock and heat emboss in white. Die cut with Wonderful Thoughts dies. Tie a twine bow and adhere to back of sentiment. Adhere sentiment to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with dots.

Thank You
