Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring a Happy Birthday 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 inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from Anastasia Radloff’s fabulous blog. Either way, you’re in the right place.
I was inspired to create my card when I saw this card by Artisan design Team Member, Stesha Bloodhart. I just loved the white splattered look, with the vellum and sparkles, so I set about making it my own, using different colours and introducing a different fold – a Corner Tuck Fold card. I also used the beautiful Champagne Rhinestones which look lovely with the Petal Pink.
A closer look.

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring Sale-A-Bration 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 inspiration from them. You may have started here or arrived from Krissi Hannah’s fabulous blog. Either way, you’re in the right place.
I was inspired by a trifold card on Sharon Burkert’s blog here. I loved Sharon’s project and, like her, I am fond of Black and White and a touch of red. However, I couldn’t just copy her card for this hop, so I used the design but different elements.
I started with the Bermuda Bay Card Base and then added the Lovely Lily Impressions DSP. Then I had to choose between using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the matching Dies, and the Power of Hope Bundle. I chose the latter, then I realised that I had used Bermuda Bay and the Stone 3D Embossing Folder last Hop. Oh well, I did say that I love both!
After I had put the stone texture on the top flap, I swiped that panel with a Whisper White Inkpad to bring the panel to life. I then paper-pieced the kimono with a slightly different pattern of the DSP. From there, I just kept adding elements like the twine and sequins.
Theses pics show how the circle panel sits inside the circular “hole” in the top flap.
And finally, I added the greeting panel with a strip of DSP, sequins and a little lantern. Can you see how I made a fringe on the lantern with the twine?
Suppliesused:
Stamps: –Power of Hope Bundle (stamp set of same name and Stone 3D Embossing Folder-free during Sale-A-Bration when you spend AU$180), Sending You Thoughts (free during Sale-A-Bration when you spend AU$90), Happy Birthday to You(free during Sale-A-Bration when you spend AU$90)
Card: – Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Lily Impressions DSP (free during Sale-A-Bration when you spend AU$90)
Tools: – Layering Circles Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies (January-June Mini Catalogue), Aqua Pen
Embellishments: – Metallic Bakers Twine and Sequin Combo (free during Sale-A-Bration when you spend AU$90)
I hope you get some inspiration from my card. Please add a comment and let me know what you liked about it before clicking the next image to hop to Maureen Rauchfuss’s blog in the United States to see what fun ideas she has to share.

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator’s Blog Hop featuring Gift Packaging projects. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide range of fun projects to share with you. You may have arrived from Katie Johnson’sblog. She had a fabulous project!
I wanted to use the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper, even though we don’t have frosty or snowy Christmases in Australia, because I just love this paper. I decided to use the silver-foiled side and I wanted to make a treat sized gift package. This is small enough to hang on the Christmas tree but will hold a good number of treats or small gifts, or even cash.
I found a design I liked on Youtube by Crafty Caroline. Here is the link.
I punched a hole through the top tabs and threaded some of the stunning Seaside Spray Ribbon through. I added a simple tag and some some Rhinestones.
Suppliesused:
Card: – Night of Navy, Seaside Spray, Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper

Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide range of fun projects to share with you. You may have arrived from Terri Stewart’s blog. She had a fabulous project!
I wanted to use the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper but I haven’t purchased the coordinating Christmas Gleaming stamp set and Gleaming Ornament punch pack. I decided to use the Merry Christmas to All stamp set. This set was carried over from 2018-19 Holiday Catalogue to the current Annual Catalogue. It has coordinating Dies and good sized sentiments.
I really liked the card at the top of p31 of the Holiday Catalogue. So I kinda cased that card using what I had on hand and I like what I came up with.
Suppliesused:
Stamp Set: – Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set
Card: – Mossy Meadow , Very Vanilla, Copper Foil Sheets
All the supplies used in my design can be ordered through my online store here.
