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.

A stencil with a little paste creates a lot of magic. I applied the Fools Gold paste directly on the Soft SeaFoam cardstock with a palette knife. The stamp set is an oldie but goodie: Dainty Delight. Paste: Ranger Ink - Simon Hurley - Astro Paste - Fool’s Gold #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakersofinstagram #papercrafting #useyourstash
