Use Your Stash! - Pretty Pastel

April 15, 2026

My friends and I have started a monthly Instagram hop where we share projects base around a theme using OLD and LOVED projects from our collections. You can make cute things using what you have.

Our theme this month is Pretty Pastel.

When I think of pastel, I think watercolor. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white embossing powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water-painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers, I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punched out using various flower punches. The flower centers are iridescent rhinestones.

Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase:
Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor
Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover

I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly Instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along on instagram below.

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list. Stampin’ Positioner tool coming May 5th #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels
Hey Chick! I used the sketch from #gdp542 as a starting point for creating this simple card. The cute chick does all the work, like usual! Play along with @global_design_project and create a project from our challenge sketch.  The little chick image
