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 to design a masculine birthday card which was created by Tracy Held.
My card is shown below. I thought some of the new products this year would combine to create a perfect, simple Masculine Birthday Card

Embellishments: – Linen Thread, Neutral Matt Dots (Online Exclusive)

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Bling It Up Challenge which was created by Michele Jutrisa and is shown below:
This theme immediately made me think of gold. The Natures Sweetness DSP jumped into my mind and I decided that Pecan Pie would be a good colour for the cardbase. This paper is so luscious that I didn’t want much more than a few die cuts. I happened upon this card design, known as the Pop Up Pillar Design by Lyn Dunn. I converted her tutorial to metric measurements which are shown below. You can see her imperial measurements/ tutorial here.
Metric Measurements are below the supply list. pics below show the card flat, open top view and close up of focal point.
20 X 14.9 cm Pecan Pie cardbase scored at 1.5, 5, 6.5 and 10 cm along long side
7.5 X 11 cm Pecan Pie panel
8.5 x 14.4 cm text DSP panel
6.5 x 10 DSP text DSP panel
2 ( 3 X 14.4 cm) gold DSP
Burnish each scoreline as a mountain fold.
Adhere Gold DSP to both 3.5cm wide panels, then tuck under 1.5 cm end panel and adhere it to cardbase, jutted up to 10 cm scoreline, forming a rectangle, and making sure that it will fold down flush with card base.
Use Textured Notes die to cut Pecan Pie panel to 7 x 10.5 cm and adhere 6.5 x 10 cm DSP this panel.
Adhere panel to top edge of rectangular tower.
Decorate as desired.
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.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Mother’s Day Challenge which was created by me and is shown below:
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.
I cut the overall bouquet using the dies and then fussy cut the blooms and popped them up on dimensionals. Below is a close up.

Inks: – Memento Black, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Daffodil delight, crushed Curry, Lemon-Line Twist, Old Olive, Versamark

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Sketch Challenge, created by Sharni Green. It is based on some sketches in the January – April mini catalogue, shown below:
I chose to use the sketch which is 4th from the left in the bottom row. I wanted to use the cute dog stamp in the One More Year stamp set (available to from the January-April Mini Catalogue).

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is an event challenge all about love, which was created by Tracy Held and is shown below:
I don’t particularly celebrate Valentine’s Day, so I struggled to come up with an idea for this hop. I decided on the colours first. I’m a big fan of red, black and white or vanilla, so that made it easy, and fitted with a Valentine theme. I just needed hearts and appropriate greetings and images. I decided on the Labeled With Love Bundle, then added the die cut hearts using the Wanted to Say Dies and the inside greeting from the Layers Of Beauty stamp set. I was happy with the outcome. Would love to know what you think.
