Blessed Sunday to you! I created this card for my FB Live on Wednesday using the Changing Leaves bundle and I shared a fun ink blending tip to colour those leaves.
This bundle includes a stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. It’s absolutely beautiful and I just love all the texture it gives.
The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder I’ve used on this card will be available in the September-December Mini Catalogue. It’s one of my favourite products in there.
I’m following Card Sketch #271 at Sketch n Scrap and I love the little extra strip at the top on this sketch. On my card I added a torn strip of paper along with the Nature’s Sweetness DSP to create this look.
Check out that gorgeous texture on those autumn leaves. With the hybrid embossing folder it’s so easy to create this stunning look.
For all my tips to create this card, please watch the video below.

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.

Hello Friday! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created last week on my Wednesday night FB Live. Over the course of the month I created some Christmas in July themed projects. I love the images from the Garden Meadow bundle and after having it on my desk to create my monochromatic project (check that out here) I thought it would be nice to create a Christmas card with it.
I chose some cooler tones for my wheelbarrow and added some bright Red flowers to bring in the Christmas theme. The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper with the trees adds to the cool, snowy atmosphere I had envisioned.
For all my tips and details on creating this card, make sure you watch the video tutorial.

Welcome to a very special edition of the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for June. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who live in different time zones around the world. Every 2nd Wednesday of the month, we share inspiration with a particular theme which is organised by Angie Mckenzie each month. Today to help us on our creative journey, we have a VIP touring with us. His name is Benji.
Who is Benji?
Benji is Angie’s little Shih Tzu and she promised him she would take him on a trip around the world. Today that promise comes to fruition and Benji gets to go on some amazing adventures with us.
I wonder what he will expereience in this whirlwind 24 hours?
So, welcome Benji to our little town of Blind Bight which is a beautiful coastal town on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria in Australia. We have a population of under 1500. First of all when you come to our home you would get to meet our 2 cats Dolce and Aria and our Bull Arab dog, Duke who is about 3 times the size of you but he is just a lanky guy who loves to play.
Down the road from our house is a beach (about a 5 minute walk). I hear it from a good source, Benji, that you do love a short walk but like to be carried on longer walks. The walk to the Blind Bight foreshore and boat ramp is a short one of about 600 metres and I reckon you’ll be able to do this, no worries.
The main beach is determined by the tides so swimming or boating is guided by those times. We also have a lovely lake which has been formed from the water that flows through, which we can swim in at any time (of course when the weather is warm). It is great for dogs to run and chase balls or sticks or just go for a walk around the trek. I’m sure Benji would love to run around the vast area here and maybe even play with some of the other dogs that are around. He may even have a play with my family who are enjoying a twilight swim in summer in this photo.
At this lake there are ducks and it’s so nice to see these duck families around the area. So that’s where my card theme came from. I bet you would make some new ducky friends here, Benji.
Last year there was a duck family that was walking the streets for a couple of months. We have a community FB page and someone would post ‘careful, duck family is on Channel Crescent’ and there would be updates all the time. They were just happy living the street life instead of waddling to the water which they were so close to. Here’s a photo of that little duck family walking the neighbourhood streets with Benji having a bit of a nosey.
This shadow box pop up fancy fold card I learned from our fellow AWOW team member, Mikaela Titheridge. I love a simple fancy fold and this one’s a nice and easy one. I’ll be sharing this on a FB Live tonight so make sure you check out this card there.
On the back window of the card, I added a lovely scene from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper with the sentiment stamped onto it. Doesn’t it feel like your’e on a holiday when looking at this?
Rather unusual for me is that this card is made up of mainly die cuts. The only stamping that is there is the sentiment.
I die cut the lotus leaves and shrubs from Basic White Cardstock, colouring them in with Stampin’ Blends and Watercolour Pencils. I wanted to create a little scene reminiscent of the mangroves and bushes we have around in Blind Bight. I reckon Benji would be sniffing his way through some of these as he gets familiar with his surroundings.
The mother duck was die cut directly from the DSP and I added a little bit of Early Espresso detail to this to tone down the brightness of it. The DSP has lots of images that you could use straight on your cards and like me, you could get away without any stamping at all!
I hope you have enjoyed your trip with us down in our little town Benji and have fun as you scamper through to South Australia to visit lovely Cheryll Miller.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and travelling along my little part of the world with Benji. Make sure you continue Benji’s adventures by following our hop through by clicking the Next button to see Cheryll’s Miller’s lovely project.

I’ve got a beachy card for you today, using a couple of our nautical sstamps and dies. Make sure you watch the video which I’ve linked below for the full process on recreating this.
I used this inspiration photo from Just Add Ink Challenges #686 as my starting point for this card. All along while creating my card I thought it was the colours that inspired me. Although this was probably part of it, I think subconsciously my mind saw those palm leaves in the background and went ‘BEACH’.
I watercoloured a sheet of Fluid 100 Cardstock with a few colours and once dry, die cut the coral. This gave me a beautiful shaded look. Watercolouring is just such a fun technique.
The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper offers a lovely ‘sandy’ background for my seaside elements
