Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Sketch Challenge which was created by Maheswari Rajaguru and is shown below:
I loved the look of the sketch and was tempted to use blues but decided on Peach Pie as my primary colour. It teams beautifully with Calypso Coral. i added black elements to create contrast. I thought there was too much space in the DSP, so I used the 3d embossing folder to add texture to the DSP and card front.

It goes live for customers TODAY, however, demonstrators are able to preorder products in August (just one of our perks!).
I wanted to use my new Stampin Santa Stamp Set because Christmas is beach time in Australia. I chose to CASE the scrapbook page shown on page 55 of the catalogue:
….And this is what I came up with:

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge which was created by Carolina Evans and is shown below:
I chose the vertical line down the middle- Masculine, Favourite Stamp Set, Fun Fold. Although this may not be my favourite stamp set, I do love it and this is the first time I have used it and I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I think it is a perfect masculine card. The fold is called an Envelope Flap card. The edge of the DSP flap tucks in behind the white circle die cut.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Water Colouring Challenge which was created by Julia Quinn and is shown below:
I chose to use the Lovely & Sweet Bundle because I thought it lent itself to watercolouring and I went for an emboss resist technique. I decided to use Wild Wheat for the fruit and the rest of the colour scheme came from that.
Embellishments: Basic Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Natural Wavy Trim (retiring soon)
*The Lovely & Sweet stamp set and Dies are currently available as a bundle, with a discount of 10% (until 30 April 2024, when the January-April Mini comes to an end- they will be available in the 2024-24 Annual catalogue).

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is a Picture Challenge which was created by Tracy Held and is shown below. I am really excited to have joined this talented group. I know you will be inspired by our hops.
I decided to try to emulate the image. I love using messy techniques and trying new ones. I wondered how I could achieve a shine like the one on the dress. In a nutshell, I stamped all the colours randomly over a sheet of basic white using a small leaf stamp, then used a black watercolor pencil to create the background and shadows. I added “creases” using a black marker and, lastly clear embossed the whole panel before shaping with paper snips.
SUPPLIES
Stamps – Planted Paradise Stamp Set, Quiet Meadow Stamp Set, Go To Greetings Stamp Set
Tools – Meadow Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Water Painters, Paper Snips
Embellishments – Festive Pearls, Basics Embossing Powder, White Bakers Twine
