Welcome to Stamping Flair in Melbourne, Australia. Today, our Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop team are sharing with you a glimpse into the world around us. We could be inspired by nature, colour, home decor, cushions, pets … anything in our lives right now.
My inspiration today is from my front garden. Whenever someone in the neighbourhood (we live in a small town) asks where we live, I’ll say ‘the house with the huge palm tree in the front yard’. Well, it’s actually 2 palm trees that have merged into one. Don’t say a word, we did not plant it like this. It came when we bought the house and now it’s bigger than Ben Hur! So here’s a bit of a glimpse at it.
The large tree trunk with the look of a giant pineapple inspired me to create these leaves using the In the Tropics dies. I also added the cross-section of the tree trunk from the Rooted in Nature stamp set in keeping with my tree theme.
I wanted to recreate some stripes, similar to the Forever Greenery DSP but I wanted to use pink because my favourite colour is pink. So I chose a combination of Rococo Rose, Blushing Bride, Just Jade and Pear Pizzazz with 2 different sizes of Water Painters and painted the lines using a ruler as a guide.
A splatter of Champagne Mist using the lid of the Water Painter adds a bit of glimmer to this card.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting my part of the world. Next on our hop is Cazz Boylan. Please click on the Next Blog button to follow through to her blog and keep going for lots of creative inspiration.
I hope you enjoy your journey around the world as you share a part of ours today.

We are over the halfway mark of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge and it’s another sketch challenge. My card ended nowhere near where it started. The paper, colour combination – everything – is completely opposite to what I started with. Does that ever happen to you? You start off with one idea but inspiration just takes you elsewhere. So we’re now having the Christmas Blues – shades of pretty blues.
My card began with the choice of Designer Series Paper – specifically a non-Christmas DSP. The Whale of a Time DSP had this beautiful blue speckled sheet which reminded me of winter and snow. This was going to be perfect for my background.
The Feels Like Frost DSP has always been a favourite of mine with it’s scenic images on one side and silver foil accents on the other. An image of a field on the paper made me choose the deer from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley for my focal image.
I created a small strip of paper at the back to coordinate with my card. Using scraps of Seaside Spray cardstock, I cut varying widths and made an accent strip at the back.
Join me tomorrow for another fun card in this series. I hope you’re finding lots of inspiration in the cards I’m sharing.

It’s a Fairy Tail Christmas theme for Day 13 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge . Not a fairytale as we would picture it but with the emphasis on ‘tail’ I was off selecting a cute animal stamp. With so many cute animal images in the Stampin’ Up! product line, there were quite a few to choose from. I chose the Zany Zebras, well, for the pure zaniness of a zebra at Christmastime. Who needs a reindeer when you can have a zebra right?
The 3 cute zebras in this stamp set also tied in perfectly with the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink Challenge #522.
This layout made it really fun to create this card as it looks like the zebras are having a good old chat working out where they are going on their next shopping spree!
I added some fussy cut images from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper to create the Christmas feel. The sentiment is also from the DSP and layered on a label from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley.
