Hello everyone!
Happy Saturday!
Happy Weekend.
It's here! The February 2026 Release is finally available here on the website. Be sure to run, don't walk! However, if you need more inspiration, carry on reading and join us.
First, a little formal introduction...
Background Blocks Birthday Scramble is a fun instant sentiment block. With the popularity of last year's Christmas version, Bev couldn't resist making a birthday version.

A colorful card with no actual coloring for a Birthday guy! Bright, bold and ready to party 🎉🎈📦
I stamped and embossed in white using the Background Blocks Birthday Scramble set. I blended the DI over white embossing and wiped off excess ink from the scrambled bold letters. Using a water-dipped brush, I lift up more ink for more color fun! Love the result!! I added a little water splatter and blot.
I stamped circle elements to create a boundary around the centre piece from the Background Builders: Round in Circle stamp set, and I dazzled it with some sequins!
Card 2
Next up is a new Layering Stencil, Retro Rainbow. This stencil is different from the previously released Stencil - Layering Retro Lines. I love this!!
Stencil - Layering Retro Rainbow £14.50

I created a Retro Double Arch with a sunspot design! This layered Retro Rainbow stencil is absolutely so versatile and can be added to previously released.
I took a piece of Pastel Yellow textured CS. Started to create an arch using this beautiful stencil. I used Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber DO inks to create the rainbow stripes. Then I created an artistic rainbow with a modern look using the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set using the same inks. I doodled some designs using my white gel pen. And added a sundrop using circles from the Mid Century Modern Florals stamp set.
The sentiment is from the same set.
Card 3
I love rainbows. And this is such a fun and cute stamp set!
Background Blocks My Favourite Colour Is Rainbow £6.50

On a piece of white CS, I started with stamping the rainbow phrase in multicolors using Mermaid Lagoon, fossilized amber, Carved Pumpkin, Mowed Lawn and Crackling Campfire DI. With a little water on my water brush tip, I created the water wash look to the letters. Using the same ink choice, I stamped the outlined rainbow along with a cloud and falling Hearts. Stamped a heart above the letters and watercolored it.
Card 4
Ink & Flip Stencils are just special to me. I love the unique design of this amazing stencil!
Retro Flowers is a two-layer stencil. One for the flowers and one for the centre of the flowers. They can be used together or individually for even more creative options.
Stencil - Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers £8.00

For my last card, I am featuring the Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers stencil! I wanted a textured look, so I applied some textured paste to showcase these pretty retro flowers. The sentiment is heat embossed in the silver pearl using the Mid Century Everyday Sentiment stamp set.
And that wraps up this little January Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.
