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.
Tools: – Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Paper Snips, Painted Lavender Dies
Embellishments: Gold Embossing Powder
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,

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:
Here is the card I created for this series. My card is number 2 in the series. The hop should be in the order the cards evolved so that you can watch the changes. Quite fascinating!
SUPPLIES

I hope you are inspired by my card. I’d love to know what you think. Make sure you hop all the way around, starting with Kayla and see how this card has evolved with each hoppers ideas, and don’t forget to leave a comment. We all love to get comments on our projects.

My third swap card for Onstage Live would be lovely as a Mothers Day Card or Get Well Card and would please anyone lucky enough to receive it. Apart from the black, green and yellow colours, all the others are shades of Rich Razzleberry. The small flowers were stamped several times without reinking the stamp which gives a lovely effect, I think.
The large flower has been stamped cut out and raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can see the sparkle from the Shimmer Card in the close-up. Shimmer Card is also good for watercolouring, as it doesn’t pill.
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Crushed Curry
Tools: Aquapen
All supplies are available from my online store or you can contact me by email or phone.
Thanks for dropping by. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. I should be on my way home from Auckland today. I have one more of my swap cards to share with you. I should have heaps of swaps I have received when I get back.
My sister-in-law turned 50 last week and I thought the occasion deserved a big 5 and a big 0. So I created the card below. She was impressed by the card and said it survived the post unscathed.
Colours are Real Red and Basic Black. I gold embossed the greeting from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set and Black embossed the sign on the door. I used the retired Woodgrain stamp and cut the numbers from Gold Foil using the retired Large Number Framelit Dies.
And when the door is slid open……..
