Paper Crafting Blog Hop – April 2025 – Last Chance List

PaperCraftingBlogHopBadge

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the Last Chance List.  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 chose to use the Quiet Reflections Stamp Set which was part of the Online Exclusives collection but was added to the Last Chance list (with a 50% discount, so I couldn’t resist!). I think it is a beautiful stamp set. It is a Distinktive set which means it has special texture which gives it extra depth and dimension. The image of the trees reflecting on the water makes it a lovely set for sending messages of sympathy and love.

I inked up the top of the stamp with stamp with Pebbled Path and the bottom with Azure Afternoon. I then used a sponge dauber to apply Mossy meadow ink to the middle, I love the way it turned out.

Stamps: – Quiet Reflections* (Last Chance)

Inks: –  Pebbled Path* (Last Chance), Azure Afternoon, Mossy Meadow

Card: – Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path* (Last Chance), Basic White, Take to the Sky DSP* (Last Chance)

Tools: –  Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder* (Last chance), Something Fancy Dies* (Last Chance)

Embellishments: – Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems

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.

Til next time,

Mothers Day always makes me think flowers and I was tempted to use colours similar to those in the picture above. Sadly, my mother is no longer with us, but blues were much more her colours, so I created the card below with her in mind.

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.

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.
