Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday final blog hop for 2022. As the year comes to a close and we embark on a new year, our theme of Something New, Something Old is very fitting. We’re especially focusing on something we haven’t used in our stash.
Now, I do have stamp sets from our Annual catalogue which are yet to be inked up but I couldn’t go past using something from the upcoming January – April Catalogue for my new product. The By the Bay suite had me as I opened the catalogue. I have a fondness for all sets that are beachy and this suite was the first product I purchased from this catalogue.
The By the Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper provides my background and it is just stunning with it’s Gold and Pearl Foil detail.
The Basic Borders Dies create the waves. I die cut 2 sets – one in Basic White and one in Coastal Cabana which I blended with Night of Navy ink.
A sentiment heat embossed in Gold on Vellum adds softness to this card without detracting from the pretty paper.
I hope you have enjoyed this card using a sneak peek from the new catalogue and that it inspires you to use a yet-to-be-used product on your next creation.
You will be able to order the products from the By the Bay suite starting 5th January or you can add it to a Starter Kit today.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting me in Melbourne. Next on our trip Around the World is the wonderfully talented Cheryll Miller.
If you live in Australia and currently don’t have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would value the opportunity to help you with a catalogue, place an order, learn more about classes, information about the Starter Kit or anything else. I can be contacted on Ph: 0404 255 001 or email stampingflair@yahoo.com

A bit of a change from all my Christmas projects to play along with the Colour Inkspirations #CI133 challenge. As I saw this photo inspiration, part of me wanted to use my favourite bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set but I resisted!
Instead I’ve opted for a teacup stamped in Coastal Cabana with the spaces coloured with a Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
You can get the Tea Boutique stamps and dies on sale during our Seasonal Sale but the sale ends TODAY! Purchase them separately as it will give you a better price than purchasing as a bundle. Regular price $88, Sale Price $72.45. That’s a saving of $15.55.
I die cut the palm leaves from a piece of cardstock which I randomly stamped with some blotchy images with the Artistically Inked stamp set using Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow inks. Then I blended over the Cardstock with Granny Apple Green using a Blending Brush. This is a technique I use quite a lot as it gives me a variegated look on my leaves.
I used the sketch from Freshly Make Sketches #fms562 as inspiration for the layout of my card. The strips of Fresh Freesia DSP were blended over with Gorgeous Grape to deepen the colour.
A splattering with a Merry Merlot Marker adds the final colour of our palette to my card. Thank you for stopping by and for a list of products used on this card please scroll to the bottom of this post.

I’ve got a fun card using the This Birthday Piggy bundle for Day 16 of the Sketchtember Challenge. The dies in this bundle are part of the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Partners promotion and are only available while supplies last until 30th September. You will want to get these dies because they have some cute add ons to enhance your piggy images.
I was going for a fun look on this card and the Design a Daydream DSP provided the diffrent patterns to create the effect. This paper is a Host offering and you have the option to choose this with Stampin’ Rewards when your order is over $250 or your party sales reach $250.
If you want to host a craft party make sure you ask me about it. Great for birthdays, girls get togethers, school holiday fun, team building activities. These can be customised to what you like AND you get to enjoy the Host rewards.
I coloured the piggy image with Stampin’ Blends and added it to a Vellum die cut circle. Vellum provides a subtle contrast layer against the patterned DSP while not completely covering it.
Measurements
DSP 4cm x 12.8cm ( 1 1/2″ x 3 1/4″), 4cm x 7cm (1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″), 4cm x 5.5cm (1 1/2″ x 2 1/8″)

For Day 7 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve kept my card crisp with white White heat embossing on Sweet Sorbet Cardstock. This diagonal sketch can inspire in many ways. You could use Designer Series Paper, embossed Cardstock, maybe a fancy fold opening but I chose to heat emboss the right side with the Lovely & Lasting stamp set,
This stamp set really gives beautiful clean images with the design of the stamp. I just love how something so simple can be so striking. The coordinating punch is a must-have from our Annual Catalogue. There are sweeet little stamps to add some cute details to these labels.
LEARN TO MAKE THIS CARD
Join me tonight at 7:30pm for my Creative Escape on FB Live as I create a variation on this card. You will get some different tips for creating it using different techniques.
Shop with me during September and for every $50 you spend or every class you order, you will get an entry in my Birthday Drawing to win a hamper valued at $200. Orders can be placed online or by contacting me on Ph: 0404 255 001 or email: stampingflair@yahoo.com
I’ve just received the Lovely & Lasting bundle and I’ve created my first card with it for Day 3 of my Sketchtember Challenge. It’s nice to be able to play with different stamp sets and bundles while playing with these sketches and I hope you play along with me as we celebrate my birthday month together.
This stamp set has a beautiful antique feel and this larger image creates a lovely bold focal point for a card. The bundle includes the coordinating Lasting Label punch which I haven’t used on this project.
I stamped the entire floral imagein Soft Succulent and then stamped the flowers in Sweet Sorbet and Cajun Craze on scrap cardstock. When inking the Sweet Sorbet flowers I added some Cherry Cobbler on the stamp to definte the centre before stamping.
The flowers were fussy cut and mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This layer was matted onto Cajun Craze Cardstock to coordinate with the smaller flowers.
I blended Night of Navy ink over the edges of my card base of Night of Navy to create depth. The added layer of the Lovely in Linen Designer Series Paper in the same colour makes those floral images pop against the background. Those cute butterflies are on sale this week so get a kaleidoscope of them. Being adhesive backed, I just love popping them on my floral projects.
Would you like to make a card like this? Please contact me and I’d love to help you with your supplies and queries.
Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your #sketchtemberchallenge projects.
It’s my birthday month and with every $50 you spend or every class you order during September, your name will be entered in the drawing to win a hamper valued at $200 from me. Winner will be drawn on 2nd October.
