Today’s Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop features Soft Sea Foam. This green is one of my favourite colours and is from our Subtles Collection. Resisting the obvious choice of going leaves, I went with creating my own Christmas gifts for this challenge.
Using the Reindeer Dies and Merriest Trees dies, I die cut the presents and bows from Designer Series Paper and Specialty Paper.
I created 2 panels from embossed Cardstock to form my sketch and layered the gifts on top. The varying textures of White Cardstock create an elegant combination with the ‘wrapped’ presents.
The sentiment was stamped in Basic Gray as I liked the softer look of this instead of Black and felt it worked nicely with the Soft Sea Foam. A few Drusy embellishments complete this monochromatic card.

Hi friends, Thanks for stopping by Stamping Flair this weekend as I share with you my creation for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop. I’ve used the vintage Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper in abundance on my card today as we feature Shaded Spruce.
The back panel of white was embossed with the Painted Trees embossing folder. I just love the beautiful texture this folder provides. On top of this I added 2 panels of the striped Designer Series Paper. For this sketch, I had the bottom strip of paper wider than the top, adding a thin strip of Basic Beige as a border agains it.
To further make the bottom panel a little different, I also added a strip of White Cardstock die cut using the Everyday Details dies. This particular die is designed to cut into the cardstock and doesn’t actually have an outer border. Die cutting strips of Cardstock with it will give you a lovely detailed panel.
I fussy cut the trees from the Designer Series Paper and couldn’t resist the deer which were on another sheet, so they got to rest amongst the trees.
The sentiment was stamped on die cut label from the Nested Essentials dies which I shortened by running through the die cutting machine a second time. Snowflakes dotted with gems were added to complete the scene.
Please consider adding the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper to your next order. For every purchase of this paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 towards Children’s Literacy.

Hello friends, Welcome to the New at SU blog hop for September. Today the projects we are sharing will be using bundles from the Stampin’ Up! September – December Mini Catalogue. I have used the Sentimental Wishes Bundle to feature on my card.
This bundle is part of the Sentimental Christmas suite which also includes Designer Series Paper, Ribbon and embellishments.
On the background, I stamped the leaves from the stamp set in Balmy Blue and embossed the Cardstock panel with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder.
I chose this beautiful image of the stocking, reminiscent of a storybook image and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. Around it I added some leaves die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the Winterly Tree Tops dies. These were blended in Soft Sea Foam ink for a subtle addition to the foliage in the stocking.
The base layer of White Cardstock was embossed with the Painted Trees embossing folder. I ran the Cardstock through 4 times too ensure all the edges of the Cardstock had the lovely detail of the folder. Then I distressed the edges with Paper Snips.
The sentiment label was blended with Pretty in Pink and Soft Sea Foam ink to coordinate with the rest of my card, A single snowflake and some Drusy Embellishments add the finishing touches to this vintage card.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and I hope you have been inspired by my project. Make sure to browse through all our other blog hop participants for heaps of inspiration.

On page 16-17 of the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue, you will find a display of our Mix & Match products. I just love the projects on these pages and the Ephemera Packs that are offered in this catalogue are beautiful. For today’s CASEing the Catty Challenge CTC487 we are CASEing a project from these pages.
I CASEd the card bases which are shown on these pages. The Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes are perfectly coordinated for our range of ephemera and will create quick cards. However, I set about creating my own card bases using inks and embossing powder.
To create this effect you need 2 ink colours from the same colour range – blues, reds, pinks etc. I started with a piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Blend Blueberry Bushel ink lightly with a Blending Brush about halfway across the Cardstock
Swip the Blueberry Bushel ink pad lightly down the Cardstock (use the edge of the ink pad without a lip)
Turn the Cardstock around and repeat the swiping so the ink is applied well on the opposite end too.
Next, swipe the Night of Navy ink pad top to bottom and repeat from bottom to top. This section will be larger than the Blueberry Bushel area.
Dry completely or use heat gun to speed up the drying process
Swipe the Versamark ink pad along the edge of Cardstock to create an uneven border.
Heat emboss in Gold. I repeated this process a couple more times to get a thicker edge.
For this card I also added a little bit of Balmy Blue fading out towards the left edge.
I used the edge of the largest frame from the Radiating Stitches dies to create a border from Night of Navy Cardstock. This was adhered to a strip of Designer Series Paper from the A Little Bit Festive pack of specialty paper. This pack contains 3 sheets of double sided paper and 3 sheets of die cuts, some of which I used on this card.
One of the die cut wreaths was cut in half and added under my border strips. I just love the little drums from these die cuts which are super cute. The white layer was adhered to a Blueberry Bushel matte layer which I blended Blueberry Bushel ink around to create a contrast from the card base.
A Gold ribbon and some peppermint embellishments complete this fun card. I love how the stripes on the peppermints worked in with the stripes on my paper.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you try this fun technique and see what fun colour palettes you create. Next on our hop is Michelle Strazds.

Today I’ve got a CAS (clean and simple) card with an embossed feature using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder.
The embossed panel was die cut with a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies and layered with another circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.
My card has been inspired by sketch FMS652 at Freshly Made Sketches. I used the Snowy Scenes and Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Papers and a strip of Pool Party Cardstock to create the border at the bottom.
The trees are from A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack which comes with 3 sheets of double sided paper and 3 sheets of die cut images all ready to add to your projects.
On the base of my card, I heat embossed the snowflakes in white and then blended Pool Party ink lightly over the top for an emboss resist effect.
The sentiment was heat embossed on another die cut panel from the same pack of paper. I added a few splatters on the top right with my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with the sentiment panel. A cute bow and some Pool Party dots complete this quick make card. ;
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you.

This trio of cards started off as one card – the one on the left – which I created for a FB Live using the Filled with Cheer stamp set. Once I finished it, I had some leftover pieces and set to work on creating a coordinated set of greeting cards.
I’ve created an angled panel for each of the cards using Crumb Cake striped DSP which has been layered onto a matte Crumb Cake layer. This little truck is so cute and the image coordinates with the dies from the Filled with Fun bundle.
These products are part of our Online Exclusives range and while the Filled with Cheer stamp set is sold on it’s own, you will want to get the Filled with Fun bundle for more creative options between these products.
I cut apart the poinsettias from the larger image and added it to the second card with a panel of Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper.
For the final card I added some ink blending in Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake and had the melted snowman sliding down my DSP panel. This snowman is so cute and especially suited for our warm Australian Christmases.
I was able to use up my entire 6″ x 6″ sheet of Crumb Cake DSP on these cards. The angled panels created a really fun look on these cards. To get all the details on how I created the first card, check out my video below.
