On my desk, I have a pile of scraps from projects. These are not cardstock or paper scraps. It’s background scraps or bits of watercoloroured cardstock, an extra die cut leaf, a stamped image, some fussy cut images I had extras of. Many times I may not even remember when I created it or the colours I used for it but it comes in handy.
I had stamped a few of the images from the In the Moment stamp set on an A6 size card piece ready to colour whenever I felt like it. This too was in my scrap pile. When in a bit of a creative funk, colouring in can help the process.
I enjoyed the colouring process and used a combination of Stampin’ Blends to achieve the shading.
I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #582 to complete my card and used Mint Macaron and a feature colour in a bit of a farewell to one of my favourites.
This card would be great to give Mum for Mother’s Day (which is just a few weeks away). After all, Mum would just love a moment to sit, read a book and relax on her day.

I’ve got a simple Father’s Day card inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I used the die cut images from the He’s the Man Designer Series Paper which resulted in a no-stamping card. If you want to make some quick masculine cards then this will be your go-to DSP. Layer up some paper and die cut images and sentiments and you have a card ready to go.
This card with a bbq theme would be perfect for Father’s Day for Dads who love to cook a snag on the barbie.
The panels of DSP were cut to 3cm x 7.5cm and matte onto Cajun Craze Cardstock 10cm x 8cm.
The background diamond elements from the All That Dies were die cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock and sponged with some Cajun Craze ink. Then I heat embossed them with a couple of layers of Clear Embossing Powder which gave it a rusted look. I pulled the thread from the Woven ribbon to create the texture at the back of the die cut circle.

Blessed Sunday to you! Continuing with my ‘Dads’ theme which I’ve been focusing on my Facebook Page this week, I’ve got an outdoor themed card for the Dad who loves camping. The Campology stamp set is a favourite of mine for masculine cards.
I’m playing along with Caseing the Catty Sunday Challenge where we are casing a Christmas Tree project from the July – December 2022 Mini Catalogue, the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue or the Sale-a-bration Catalogue. I’m CASEing this card from Page 14 of the Jul-Dec Mini Catalogue which uses the Regal Reindeer Bundle.
I flipped the card horizontal and used the Tailor Made Tags Dies to blend ink to resemble the project I was CASEing. Blending Parakeet Party and Evening Evergreen with a Blending Brush, I then stamped the trees in Evening Evergreen. I added some embossing pasge to resemble the snow which was in the original card. The Embossing paste picked up the green which was blended under and you can see the stamped trees under the light layer of embossing which adds to the rustic feel of this card.
The kettle and cup images were stamped in Soft Suede and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the handles twice and fussy cut to attach behind the main image. A strip of the Sale-A-Bration Silver & Gold Foil DSP was added behind the tag in line with the sketch I was CASEing.
At this stage I really wanted to add a bit ‘extra’ and couldn’t go past those leaves from the Stylish Sketches stamp set. This has got to be my favourite Sale-A-Bration product as I just love the images in it. You can get this set FREE with a $90 order.

Hi friends, Welcome to our Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop where on the second Wednesday of each month we share creative inspiration using Stampin’ Up! products. This month we have a sketch challenge – my favourite type to work with.
Sketches offer a great starting point for a project. Today you will see the different looks you can get with just 1 sketch and I hope you give it a try.
Each week on my Facebook Page, I feature a product and this week it’s the Home & Garden Bundle. So I’ve incorporated it with this layout to create a card for Dad. Great for a birthday card or for Father’s Day this has been combined with the He’s the Man suite from our new Catalogue.
The sentiment was inked in Versamark and Early Espresso and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I felt that it needed to be a little bit darker so I coloured over the embossing with SU100 Stampin’ Blend which made it stand out. The oval was coloured with some Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends and I added the texture stamp from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set which gave it an old leather look which I loved.
I hope you have enjoyed my take on this sketch and stop by my Facebook Page to see me make it on my Creative Escape FB Live tonight.

Hello and welcome to our Stampers Showcase blog hop. As demonstrators we get the perk of seeing a catalogue prior to it’s release. Not only that, we also get a chance to pre-order products. This is something I look forward to with each new release of a catalogue. Seeing and touching new products is so much fun! So today our group will be sharing projects featuring products which we could pre-order starting a few weeks back.
I’m sharing the He’s the Man suite which is on pages 78-79 of the catalogue. This suite comes complete with a stamp and die bundle, Designer Series Paper which also has die cut sheets and Rustic Metallic Dots.
With images of cars, bbqs, tools, outdoor activities, hobbies and more this is the must have suite for all your masculine projects. Combine it with many of our other stamp sets for more creativity.
He’s the Man Specialty DSP also comes with 2 sheets of die cut pieces
The die set comes with labels and lots of additional pieces which lend itself to collage-style layering. I die cut one of the labels and stamped the trees from the Campology stamp set which is a perfect fit with this suite. Then I blended Cajun Craze and Early Espresso ink around it. The diamond shape die cut was also shaded with the same colours.
I layered a couple of the die cuts from the DSP pack to create my focal point with the note-book piece being one of them. You can just see the script on the circle underneath. This was meant to be covered up but I like the collage feel and when you put all the words together it says ‘I’m – Wishing you a Happy Father’s Day!’
I used the Stamparatus to stamp my Father’s Day sentiment using Early Espresso and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Markers to create the dual-coloured sentiment. Using the Stamparatus allowed me to re-stamp a few times to get a deeper colour.
I hope you love this suite as much as I do. Please follow the hop right through to get some sneak peeks from our new catalogue.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful ladies who are caring for your God-given treasures, to those who are in a position of caring for children – step-mums, guardians, to dads – who have to step in as mum and to everyone of you who share the load. It’s a very special day to honour a very special Mum in our lives. So for our Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop I created a Mother’s Day card using our Floral theme.
There are an endless amount of options when it comes to Floral and the variety that Stampin’ Up! offers.
The hibiscus from the Timeless Tropical stamp set is a pretty image to colour. I stamped 2 of these and coloured with Light Flirty Flamingo and Light and Dark Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends, Then I cut along the petal lines of one flower, curling the petals with a bone folder. This flower was attached to the other to create a 3D flower.
With such a pretty flower, I wanted my background structured and simple. I die cut several labels from the Hand Penned DSP and arranged it to the card. This created an interesting background for my flower.
I hope you enjoy your Mother’s Day with your family and getting spoiled! Thank you for spending some time with me on this special day and I hope to see you again soon. Please click on the Next button to see Satomi Wellard’s lovely project.
