ICS Blog Hop…New Catalog!


Welcome to the Inspire Create Share blog hop. We are Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators and gather together every month to share ideas around a theme. This month the theme is something from the the new 2026 September-December Catalog.
So many fun, beautiful choices! One of the first bundles that caught my eye was the Painted Pumpkins bundle and really the whole Painted Patch Suite Collection. I found it so easy to create with. I love the colors used in the DSP-such a fun updated combination of colors.

This split front card was a fun way to show off different patterns of the DSP (Designer Series Paper) and it created a perfect spot for the sentiment.
- Calypso Coral CS card base – 5-1/2″ x 6-3/4″ scored at 4-1/4″.
- Painted Patch DSP pattern 1 – 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″.
- Calypso Coral CS – 1″ x 5-1/2″
- Painted Patch DSP patern 2 – 3/4″ x 5-1/4″.
- Calypso Coral CS Stylish Shapes square die #4 (#1 being the smallest die).
- Basic White CS 2-1/8″ x 2-1/8″. The squares are what connect the top and bottom strip together.
- 3 pumpkins die cute from the Painted Patch DSP.
- Gold Foil leaves cut using the Painted Pumpkin dies.
- Calypso Coral Painted Patch Adhesive-Backed Dots.

- Basic White CS layer 4″ x 5-1/4″.
- Sentiment from the Painted Pumpkin set inked in Secret Sea. I find the easiest way to stamp the sentiment is to attach the Basic White CS inside and simply stamp through the opening. You could also use a stamp positioner or make pencil marks to show where to stamp.
