Happy Saturday friends, Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic colour challenge for the Crafty Collaborations Insta Hop. Today we have a beautiful soft gray, Smoky Slate, which has almost a silver tinge. I am using the Attention Shoppers Bundle to feature some variations of this colour on my card.
The first secction I worked on was the polka dots. It’s been a while since I used this technique and it was so much fun. Just take a sponge dauber, tab it into the ink pad and dot away on your project! Such a great way to add a background and if you haven’t tried it, go get your Sponge Daubers!
A thin strip of Silver Foil separates the Take to the Sky patterned paper on top from the polka dots.
I stamped 2 shopping bags, colouring one with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and paper piecing the other with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Paper Piecing offers a fun way to add designs to elements.
Around the shopping bags, I added some cut apart ephemera flowers and leaves in simple black and white to fill in and add depth to my card.
I used 2 sentiments from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, colouring the bottom one with a Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. These sentiments were offset and then glued to the card, giving the letters a shadow effect. Some Silver Metallic gems complete this card, adding a touch of sparkle.
I hope my card today inspires you to try some of these techniques and create something today. Our Designer Series Paper sale continues until 31st August where you can get 15% off on a select range of patterned papers. Shop by clicking below or contact me to place an order.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello friends, Welcome to our CASEing the Catty Challenge and this week we are CASEing this fun sketch which is on Page 25 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.
I’ve created a Christmas card using the Golden Greenery bundle which is part of our Online Exclusives collection.
The suite this bundle is part of includes some beautiful Designer Series Paper which is in tones of green and I wanted to give this card a slightly softer look by changing the colours. Of course, I went with pink!
I created 2 square frames using the Stylish Shapes dies and added a piece of Graceful Greenery Vellum behind it. I love how the Vellum adds that softness while still being able to see the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper behind it. From 6th – 31st August you can get this paper and several others on sale at 15% discount so make sure to hop back and check that out.
The outline of the bells were stamped in Petunia Pop, stamped off and the main image was stamped in Pretty in Pink, stamped off. I added detail onto the bells with Watercolour Pencils. I die cut some leaves from Basic White Cardstock and blended a range of colours to add some shading to them, trimming them down so they fit around they bells.
A trio of white flowers, coloured with Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends, layered together, created the flower which is on top of a bow which was also made from Bright & Beautiful DSP.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this alternate take with this bundle. Let me know what you think of it by leaving me a comment. I love hearing from you.
