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 Distressing Techniques, which was created by Monique Fielder and is shown below:
I decided to use the Gallery Blooms Bundle. I distressed the edges of the card using the outside edge of my paper snips, also folding down corners of card, and used a sponge dauber to apply Basic White or Crumb Cake ink to the distressed edges and damask impressions.
Supplies
Stamps: – Simply Said Stamp Set, Gallery Blooms Stamp Set*
*available as a bundle with savings of 10% until 6 May (or while stocks last).
I hope you are inspired by my card. I’d love to know what you think. Make sure you hop all the way around and see the inspiration that everyone has shared, and don’t forget to leave a comment. We all love to get comments on our projects.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is Animal Kingdom, which was created by Mandy Witherby and is shown below:
I decided to use the Silly Safari Set. I thought it would be fun to make this fun fold I made a while back for a tutorial bundle. It’s easy but effective. The Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger card and the DSP came together well for this theme. I cut a strip of Lemon-Lime Twist to create a layer of grass and couldn”t resist adding a couple of little critters from the Cute As A Bug DSP.
Supplies
Stamps: – Silly Safari
Inks: – Memento Tuxedo Black, Watercolor Pencil Assortments 1 and 2 (Pumkin Pie & Crushed Curry used)
Card: – Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Lemon-Lime Twist, Cloud Cover, Basic White , Floral Blooms DSP, Cute as a Bug DSP

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme, Get Well Wishes. 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 Julia Quinn’s blog. Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!
I chose to use the Friendly Foliage Bundle. This bundle was released as an online exclusive late in 2025 and the nature of the way the dies can be used together really appealed to me. The sentiments are perfect for this month’s hop.
Supplies
Stamps: – Friendly Foliage*
Card: – Basic Beige, Basic White, Garden Green, Vellum 12 x 12 Specialty Paper, Nature Walk 12 X 12 DSP
Ink: – Garden Green, Versamark
Dies: – Friendly Foliage*
online exclusive – currently available as a bundle with a discounted price
I hope you are inspired by my card. I’d love to know what you think. I had fun creating it. I love the way the colour shines in the leaves. This was achieved by inking the stamp first with versamark, then with colour, then stamping.
Make sure you hop all the way around and see the inspiration that everyone has shared, and don’t forget to leave a comment. We all love to get comments on our projects.
If you would like to reproduce this card you can purchase all of the supplies in my online SU store here.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Red Colour Challenge which was created by Tracy Held.
The challenge is to create a card, using only red and neutral colours. For me, that meant red, black and silver.
I was challenged by this challenge! I have lost my valentine recently, so didn’t want to create a card for valentines. I decided to create a card for my daughter’s birthday which is later in February. Once i decided on the stamp set, it came along relatively quickly (for me)! I hope yo like it.

Inks: – Poppy Parade, Memento Tuxedo Black
Blends: – Poppy Parade- Light and Dark
Card: – Poppy Parade, Basic Black, Basic White
Tools: – Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Monochrome Challenge which was created by Julia Quinn and is shown below:
When i saw the green challenge pic, I knew that it has been designed by Julia. Did you know that it is her favourite colour? I love green too, but decided to use blues. I started with the Night of Navy card base. I inked up the male side of the embossing folder with a white ink pad, then ran it through the Stamp n Emboss. This gave the card base a lovely “wallpaper” look. I used the Gallery Blooms Dies to cut the frame from Balmy Blue and stamped over it with one of the fine stamps from the Gallery Blooms stamp set, using Balmy Blue ink. I used a single stamp repeatedly in a rough diagonal line on the Basic White panel, then selectively coloured with Night of Navy ink using the Water Painters (I am glad they are available again!). I think you can figure out the rest from the supplies list! I had fun making this card.
Available as a Bundle (with a 10% discount during the life of the 2025-26 Annual Catalogue
