Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – February 2026 – Red Challenge

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 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.

Stamps: – Along These Lines, Delightful Wishes, Simply Said,

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

Embellishments: – Real Red & White Baker’s Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

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.

Thanks for hopping by, Bye for now

Till next time

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – January 2026 – Monochrome

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 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.

Tools: –  Stylish Shapes Dies, Gallery Blooms Dies* , Damask Designs Embossing Folder

Embellishments: – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, Metallic Gems

  • Available as a Bundle (with a 10% discount during the life of the 2025-26 Annual Catalogue
  • +Online Exclusive Bundle available January 2026

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.
