Happy Monday friends, I’m getting back to the rhythm of going back to my day job today after being on 5 weeks school holidays. Ah, the end of no alarms and sleep-ins.
For this sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches FMS620 I’ve use the Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set as my featured image.
The 3 circles have been die cut from different dies to create different edges, while the main image has been coloured with Stampin’ Blends.
For the Wild Wheat circle I applied a mask to create some texture and then stamped the music score for some detail. This card was one of the cards I created during my Free class on Friday. You can watch the video (link below).

Hello and welcome to the last Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for 2024. I’m so glad you have been able to join me here in Melbourne. If it’s your first time here I hope you enjoy what you see and are inspired to create something beautiful. Our AWOW team is based around the world and on the second Wednesday of each month we share creative inspiration for you.
Our theme this month is a focus on Watercolour Smooshing technique. This is a fun technique which yields different results everytime. You require some acetate (our clear Window Sheets are perfect) for this. Generally, I’ve created backgrounds with this technique. For today’s card I contained it within the window from the Garden Meadow dies. I wanted it to look like a little scene through the window and I used the technique to create that.
The Garden Meadow bundle comes with lots of cute images to build the scene. I’ve just got this bundle and I was just wanting to use the gum boots. How cute are they? I pretty built they rest of my card around them!
To add some balance and so the window wasn’t just sitting in the middle of nowhere, I added a piece of Soft Sea Foam Designer Series Paper. I left the top of my card clear to show the technique and built up my scene at the bottom.
For all the details on how I created this card, take a look at the video below.
Thank you for stopping by and I’m sure once finish looking through all the ideas you will be getting inky with the Watercolour Smooshing technique. Next on our hop is Danielle Kassing and I can’t wait to see what she has created.
I was not only inspired by the colours of Colour Palette #29, I also drew inspiration from the image and created my card using the Abudant Beauty Decorative Masks.
Creating a beautifully blended daisy using these layered masks is so easy. For my petals I used Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat to create depth and added some Real Red in the centre.
I wanted some variation on the leaves and adding a bit of Wild Wheat on the tips along with the Mossy Meadow, provided a lovely natural look to them. Once I fussy cut them out, I then blended Mossy Meadow ink all over the entire leaf to diffuse the stark white background.
The Abudant Beauty Decorative Masks are on our Last Chance List and available while supplies last until 3rd January. I’ve got an ordering special for the Great International Craft Show and it’s available for all orders placed with me. When you place an order of $150 or more you will qualify for a free pack of embellishments. This will be valued around $14 and will vary according to stock availability but I assure you it will be some pretty bling!
Will you be adding these masks to your Shopping List? Please get in touch with me if you need any assistance or would like me to help you with your order.

Happy Friday friends, So good to see the weekend just around the corner. Colour Palette #33 had a beautiful summer feel to it. I initially thought of using the Share a Milkshake bundle but changed course when it came down to creating!
I went with the Nested Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. You will find these products in the Online Exclusives category of the Online Store along with a range of other beautiful products that get regularly released into this collection.
I added Pebbled Path as my neutral colour to pull all the colours together.
I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps #SSC322 as m inspiration when creating this card for my FB Live.
As you will see in my video, I just continued adding bits and pieces to create more texture. The embossed white panel provides a nice contrast against the colours.
I hope you enjoy the tips I share and please consider subscribing to my channel to get notifications when I post new crafty inspiration.

Colour Palette #28 was such a calming combo to work and inspired by the photo, I stepped away from Christmas projects to use the Sailboat Builder punch. It’s been a little while since I’ve created with it and I really enjoyed using this boat as the focal point for this summery card. Being a punch, the sailboat is so quick to create. To make it even easier, I used Designer Series Paper for the sails.
For the background I used our 2023-2025 In-Color Designer Series Paper and added some extra lines using the Light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. You can get the DSP, Blends and Cardstock currently on sale during our Seasonal Sale which goes from 14th – 16th November.
I splattered some Orchid Oasis on the sentiment panel by flicking the Stampin’ Blend against the cap. Some blending with Orchid Oasis was also added to the embossed panel and to the bottom of the vessel which added a slight shadow as if in the waves. Some Wavy Trim gives that added nautical touch to this card fit for any sailor.
Sale is on 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue Products and are available while supplies last.
