Welcome to this month’s Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.
Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Rustic Style Challenge which was created by Mandy Witherby and is shown below:
I immediately thought of the Textured Notes Bundle for this challenge, coupled with the Woven Textures DSP. I think it worked well for this theme. I must say that ‘all that brown’ needed a pop of yellow.

Inks: – Pecan Pie, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow,
Card: – Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla, Woven Textures DSP

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring a Masculine theme. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Tracy Held’s blog. Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Bling It Up Challenge which was created by Michele Jutrisa and is shown below:
This theme immediately made me think of gold. The Natures Sweetness DSP jumped into my mind and I decided that Pecan Pie would be a good colour for the cardbase. This paper is so luscious that I didn’t want much more than a few die cuts. I happened upon this card design, known as the Pop Up Pillar Design by Lyn Dunn. I converted her tutorial to metric measurements which are shown below. You can see her imperial measurements/ tutorial here.
Metric Measurements are below the supply list. pics below show the card flat, open top view and close up of focal point.
20 X 14.9 cm Pecan Pie cardbase scored at 1.5, 5, 6.5 and 10 cm along long side
7.5 X 11 cm Pecan Pie panel
8.5 x 14.4 cm text DSP panel
6.5 x 10 DSP text DSP panel
2 ( 3 X 14.4 cm) gold DSP
Burnish each scoreline as a mountain fold.
Adhere Gold DSP to both 3.5cm wide panels, then tuck under 1.5 cm end panel and adhere it to cardbase, jutted up to 10 cm scoreline, forming a rectangle, and making sure that it will fold down flush with card base.
Use Textured Notes die to cut Pecan Pie panel to 7 x 10.5 cm and adhere 6.5 x 10 cm DSP this panel.
Adhere panel to top edge of rectangular tower.
Decorate as desired.

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme New Products. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Terri Stewart’s blog. Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!
The pics above show the front and back of the card. I wanted to use this new stamp set which is in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue. I thought creating a side step card would be a good way to show the features of the stamp. I also thought that the new InColor, Timid Tiger, might be a good choice. When I think of tigers, I think of black stripes, so I was wondering how to introduce these when I had an idea. So I decided to use the new Mini Corrugated Embossing folder and then swiped the strips of card with the Memento Black Ink. I still needed some colour so I thought “foliage” – tigers hide while assessing their prey. So I needed to add in some camouflage. I thought he looked rather regal laying there so I selected the greeting accordingly. Finally, I gave him a dazzling eye.
SUPPLIES
Stamps: – Along These Lines, Gallery Blooms, Textured Notes (New OE)*
Inks: – Memento Tuxedo Black
Card: – Timid Tiger, Basic Black, Basic White
Tools: – Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder (New OE)*, Impressions Abloom

I wasn’t sure how to approach this challenge but once I realised that I had this DSP, which contains all the new In Colors, I knew what to do – let the lovely paper do all the work. So This is what I came up with.
