The new 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue introduces us to five fresh, on-trend colours, which are now part of our Stampin' Up! palette.  In this post and the next four, I want to share with you my thoughts on the five new 2024-2026 In Colors, starting with PETUNIA POP.

Have you seen the colour wheel on page 132 of the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue?  This circle of hues shows the relationship between all the Stampin' Up! colours, including the five new 2024-2026 In Colors.  Petunia Pop sits in the Red-Violet grouping and is sandwiched by Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst...

Petunia Pop is a soft orchid-colour with purple undertones.  This new colour is warmer than Fresh Freesia and is, in fact, quite similar in tone to Berry Burst, just less intense and more dusky.  I have paired the fun, new Petunia Pop with Berry Burst and Old Olive inks to create this pretty thank you card using the fabulous Layers of Beauty Bundle...

Bundles: Layers of Beauty Stamp Set + Layers of Beauty Dies + Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks (photopolymer: 163519).  Ink: Berry Burst (147143), Petunia Pop (163811), Old Olive (147090), Tuxedo Black Memento (132708).  Card/Paper: Petunia Pop (163802), Basic Beige (164512), Basic White (159228), 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (163777).  Accessories: Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Small Blending Brushes (160518), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430).

Layers of Beauty Stamp Set + Layers of Beauty Dies + Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks Bundle (163519) - $119.50

The Layers of Beauty Bundle is a product set that is similar to the Enduring Beauty Bundle.  It is a coordinating bundle of three... a stamp set, dies, and masks, which all match!  For this thank you card, I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped it with the stunning bouquet outline in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I then laid the first Layers of Beauty Decorative Mask over the stamped image and used a Small Blending Brush to apply Petunia Pop ink.  Then, it is just a repeat, laying the second, third, fourth, and fifth masks over the stamped image and applying a second layer of Petunia Pop ink, then Berry Burst ink, and finally two layers of Old Olive ink.

The finished inked bouquet was die-cut using the coordinating Layers of Beauty Dies and then cut in half lengthwise, so I had two beautiful floral borders to add to two thank-you cards.

I have snuck in another new colour on this thank you card called Basic Beige - surprise!  It is not one of the five new In Colors, it is a new colour to the Basics range.  Basic Beige is a warm stone colour that gives us a lovely alternative pairing to Very Vanilla and Basic White.  I adhered my flower border to a piece of Basic Beige cardstock and stamped a few additional floral sprays in the background.  This panel was then added to the front of my greeting card, which has a fun voucher pocket inside!

Of all the five new colours, Petunia Pop seems to be the most popular.  At a recent Stampin' Up! event, we had a popularity voting system where each demonstrator dropped a ping pong ball into a glass jar to signify their favourite new In Color - Petunia Pop won by a landslide!  I can't wait to see what others create using the new Petunia Pop.
