Welcome to your monthly trip with the team from the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. On the second Wednesday of each month we share inspiration around a certain theme. This month we have a sketch and I have used the Storybook Moments Suite to feature with it.
Here is the sketch that we are following so make sure you browse through everyone’s projects to see the fun variations we have all come up with.
By card began with that gorgeous die cut arch. Are you loving the Everyday Arches as much as I am? Being a nested set of dies, there are so many ways to create with them.
I stamped the carrots on Basic White Cardstock and coloured them in Stampin’ Blends. Then I coloured around the image with the Light Petal Stampin’ Blend. I love how this turned out, looking like some patterned paper.
On the back of the sketch there are 3 strips and I replicated this with an embossed panel and 2 strips of DSP in varying widths to create some interest. Under the embossed panel I added some ribbon with just the scalloped edge showing, giving it a beautiful border.
With several sentiments available in this suite, I chose Easter and heat embossed it in White for a pop against the colours and designs behind it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope this has inspired with some new ideas for the Storybook Moments suite.

It’s time for another year of inspiration with the New at SU Blog Hop. This month our team are inspiring you with Sale-A-Bration products and sharing ideas for coordinating them with other products from our range. For my card I’ve chosen the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper which is part of the Sale-A-Bration product range. It has a colour palette of Early Espresso, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie. You can get this paper free with a $100 order.
SALE-A-BRATION
The Sale-A-Bration promotion runs through 28th February and there are many products to choose from. There are 2 tiers of products with most products with 12 products free with a $100 order and 2 products free with a $200 order. Take a look at the brochure HERE.
While there are some brighter designs in this pack of paper, I have chosen a softer design for my background to coordinate with the stamped toadstools. The Terrific Toadstools bundle includes a stamp set and punch which punches the toadstools without a border. This is different to some of our other punches. As I wanted the white border around the image, I fussy cut around them – why make life easy?!!!
I stamped the larger toadstools in Soft Sea Foam then added some shading with the Granny Apple Green Watercolour Pencil. The stem was stamped in Crumb Cake and I added some shading with the Early Espresso Watercolour Pencil. For a pop of colour I also added some Melon Mambo mini toadstools.
I’ve followed the sketch at TGIF Challenges #tgifc507 adding a label from the Greetings of the Season Dies to place my cluster of toadstools on.
A piece of the striped DSP from the same pack was cut at an angle and attached under the label. This added a lovely pop of colour and coordinated with my small toadstools.
Some clear sequins from Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins were coloured with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend and added around my card. This versatile embellishment pack is a Sale-A-Bration product which is available free with a $100 order.

I wanted to share with you today, a card that is included in my Winterly Tree Tops Mail-Out class. The combination of the images in this set with the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper made it such a joy to create.
This card was perfect for this week’s TGIF #tgifc500 Let’s Tear It Up! challenge. As hard as it it to tear such gorgeous paper, the effects it creates is stunning.
The birds were coloured in Stampin’ Blends and for the background I’ve used the Painted Trees Embossing Folder which adds beautiful texture.
Create this card and 3 others using these products and calming colour combinations in this month’s Winterly Tree Tops class. While I created an all occasion card, swap the sentiment and you would have a beautiful Christmas card.

Lost Lagoon is our colour in focus for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week. This is such a beautiful colour and can switch between a blue and a green for me depending on the design. Did you know that Lost Lagoon used to be an In-Color some years ago? It came into our core colour range last year and is such a great addition.
Although my card is filled with layers, it’s very quick to put together. I used the die cuts from the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper to create my focal point.
As the base of my floral arrangement, I added the large die cut leaf the Thoughtful Wishes dies. The embossed background really makes these die cuts stand out.
My card has been inspired by this sketch at Sunday Stamps challenge .
To complete my card, I added some of the Riverside Irregular Pearls and Lost Lagoon cording from the Otterly Adorable suite.

Happy Saturday! Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge which is actually an Insta Hop with the Crafty Collaborations team. The featured colour today is Petal Pink. This is a colour that over the years has ‘grown on me’. I rather like it teamed with gold for Christmas however today I’ve gone with an all occasion card using the More than Autumn bundle.
I chose a few images to cluster together on a background embossed with the Leaf Fall embossing folder. Around the images, I lightly blended the background with Petal Pink ink.
The cocoa cup was paper-pieced with Designer Series Paper from the Flowering Zinnias DSP pack. I added some shading with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends on the top and bottom of the cup. The centre was coloured with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The cream was glittered with Wink of Stella.
I wanted to create the look of toasted marshmallows so I stamped the image in Pecan Pie ink. Then using a Blender Pen, I pulled in some of the colour into the marshamllows, which gave them a toasted colour.
I created a customised sentiment by adding the ‘best’ from another sentiment in the set. The sentiment was stamped on Basic White Cardstock and then I coloured it in with a Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. This gives a softer tone rather than stamping directly on coloured Cardstock.
I added some splatters of Petal Pink and Wink of Stella around the white space. The sentiment was staggered and who wouldn’t love to receive a take away cup that says ‘BEST’? That’s sure to lift someone’s day.
A supply list is below and these are available in my Online Store and can be purchased Australia wide.

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. ;
