2025-2026 Annual Catalog

It’s here – the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. And it’s full of amazing new products to create with and enjoy. And in addition to the catalog, there was an amazing release of Online Exclusive Products you can find in my online store!

Mel’s Top 3 Picks

With so many good things to choose from, you can’t go wrong. But I am sharing my top picks with you!

  • Overall Favorite Item: 2025-2027 In Color Collection
    • Always a favorite, because who doesn’t love new colors?! Color sets the tone for every project, and this collection is stunning. It may be my favorite collection to date, actually! And if you love color like I do, you will want to join my In Color Club!
    • New colors: Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Darling Duckling, and a returning favorite, Strawberry Slush
    • A note about the Cloud Cover ink pad: Cloud Cover ink is reacting with the foam used as the base of our ink pads, making the color ‘shift’ and change color. As a result, the ink pad will have a limited release to demonstrators only, but not be available to customers. In it’s place, you can choose an uninked Stampin’ Spot and Cloud Cover Ink Refill to create your own mini ink pad, or choose the Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1.

  • Favorite Suite: This is a toss up between the gorgeous Beautiful Gallery and the funky Boho Vibes Suites
    • Beautiful Gallery: simply gorgeous! Boho chic, soft muted colors, old fashioned vibe – simply elegant!
    • Boho Vibes: love the modern feel, the dies are amazing and a whole different look with just a color change!
  • Favorite Bundle: Party Dies Bundle
    • This bundle is actually all dies, and I love the oversized elements to create beyond cards! Think banners, gifts, books – be creative!

Color Fusers May 2025 2025-2027 In Colors

Color Fusers May 2025 project made with the Thankful Garden Bundle, Textured Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Colors. Card designed and created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers. Color challenge colors Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

Thanks for hopping with the Color Fusers today where we are sharing the new 2025-2027 In Colors! These colors will launch tomorrow in the new Annual Catalog!

Each year, there are a couple of new In Colors I love, but this set might be my #1 all time favorite! I just love them all, and they coordinate amazingly! Today, I am sharing the same project made with each of the new colors. I pulled in lots of new products!

I used the Thankful Garden Bundle for the floral image. This bundle is gorgeous, and includes a set of masks for coloring the images in a snap. It’s available now in my online store. I kept the color minimal on this project to just let the new In Color shine!

The More Messages Bundle has already had a workout in my craft room. The sentiments are the perfect size, and I love the shapes of the labels. I had to reach for it for today’s projects. It will be available tomorrow!

I would love to show you the star of the show for these colors, but, like my children, I can’t pick a favorite. At least…yet! I have been creating -a lot- with these colors, and I am reaching for them all! Let’s dive in!

2025-2027 In Colors

Each year Stampin’ up! introduces 5 new In Colors. These trend colors are always fun to work with, and this year is no exception. They are Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. All the new 2025-2027 In Colors will be available tomorrow with the launch of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog!

Strawberry Slush

Color Fusers May 2025 project made with the Thankful Garden Bundle, Textured Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Colors. Card designed and created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers. Color challenge colors Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

A great moderate intensity cool pink. It’s a returning favorite from an In Color collection several years ago. I will reach for this when Melon Mambo might be a bit too strong, or when I want a solid pink. Hands down, it’s a real winner in the pink department!

Darling Duckling

Color Fusers May 2025 project made with the Thankful Garden Bundle, Textured Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Colors. Card designed and created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers. Color challenge colors Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

This is a unique yellow, with a green hue. It will work perfectly for foliage and florals, as well as pairing with blues and greens. It is a great combo with the other In Colors, bringing brightness to the collection.

Timid Tiger

Color Fusers May 2025 project made with the Thankful Garden Bundle, Textured Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Colors. Card designed and created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers. Color challenge colors Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

A soft orange that will be a favorite for so many things – birthday, all occasion, florals, fall creations … It’s a modern update to Pumpkin Pie, and is going to make an amazing pairing with blues!

Cloud Cover

Color Fusers May 2025 project made with the Thankful Garden Bundle, Textured Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Colors. Card designed and created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers. Color challenge colors Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

The baby of Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate. I love it! It fills a color gap and is going to be used a ton in my craft room. It will work great for anything, and will be a great choice for masculine cards. And it goes with Secret Sea like peanut butter and jelly!

Secret Sea

I have replaced my black ink pad with Secret Sea for now, and I have not regretted it yet! This is like a smoky navy black – just love it!

To Create this Project

  • Card base in color of choice cut 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored a 5-1/2″
  • Die cut layer in matching color to card base 3-3/4″ x 5″ (Textured Notes Dies)
  • Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut 2-7/8″ x 4-3/8″
  • Basic White layer 3-1/2″ x 4″ for stamping/die cutting flower (Thankful Garden Bundle)
  • Secret Sea label (die cut with More Messages)

Adhere DSP to second largest Textured Notes die cut, than adhere layer to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp floral image in Secret Sea ink. Blend floral centers with coordinating mask in an In Color ink of choice, and die cut with coordinating die. Adhere flower to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Versamrk ink on Secret Sea label. Heat with Heat Tool, then adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with 2025-2027 In Color Pearls and a black twine bow.

Last Call Annual Catalog Shares!

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!
