PaperCraftingBlogHopBadge

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring products from the January – April Mini Catalogue.  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!

I have always loved these split cards and wondered how this butterfly would look in one. I was happy with the outcome and the DSP brought it all together.

Paper crafters Blog Hop – February 2025 – Sale-a-Bration

PaperCraftingBlogHopBadge

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme Sale-a-bration.  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!

I wanted to use the Delightful wishes Bundle but instead of using the matching DSP, I chose to use some of this glorious Bloom Impressions DSP which, is one of the products you can get FREE during the Sale-A-Bration promotion. I love the way these colours look together and I thought the Fresh Freesia Ribbon (another Sale-A-Bration freebie!) finished off this simple card very nicely.

Stamps: – Delightful Wishes*

Inks: – Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green

Tools: – Delightful Wishes Dies*, Something Fancy Dies

* Available as a bundle at a reduced price during the life of the January-April mini catalogue.

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.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – Rustic Style

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 Rustic Style Challenge which was created by Mandy Witherby and is shown below:

I decided to use something metallic, earthy and pretty. This led me to selecting the Planted Paradise Stamp Set and a technique called Faux Patina, to achieve a weathered look.

Chain Card Swap Blog Hop – Kayla

Chain Card Swap Header

Welcome to the fifth series of Chain Card Swaps. At the beginning of October, Tracy Held started a fun journey with 10 other Australian demonstrators. We called it a “Chain Card Swap”. Each of us designed a card (round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything) the card and sent their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. We are going to have a blog hop for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution. I suggest you start at Kayla’s blog for this series.

Below is the stunning card Kayla created for Round 1:
