Great to have you here for our Ink. Stamp. Share Blog hop. We are CASEing the Catalogue as our theme this month. Stampin’ Up! catalogues are a source of inspiration and countless times I draw on it for ideas with layouts, techniques, colour combinations and more.
To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit, giving credit to the original creator of the project. My CASE is from page 79 of the Annual Catalogue. This particular page features a stepped-up card from a Beginner project to a project suited to the more Avid crafter.
I chose the What’s Cookin’ Bundle to feature on my card. With cute images and sentiments perfect for adding on cards and your homemade goodies, this is such a fun set.
I embossed the label from the Hippo Dies and then coloured with Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends.
Wanting a nice deep colour for the border, the Night of Navy Ombre Specialty DSP added the right amount of glimmer for this card. I’ve layered some ribbon on top of it and that velvet Mint Macaron ribbon is just so soft and beautiful. The tiles from the In Good Taste DSP are perfect for this baking inspired card.
Next on our hop is Laura Mackie. Please follow through to see her lovely project. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you back very soon.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop. We’ve got lots of beautiful new products to share with you. So get your catalogue and Wish List out so you can start marking your favourites. My favourites keep getting added to, as I see lovely creations featuring these products.
I have just unpacked my box of new products and with so much choice I picked this cute turtle to create this Fancy Fold Easel card. The Turtle Friends bundle which is on Page 56 of the Annual Catalogue includes a fun stamp set and coordinating punch. Punches enable quick creations and that’s always a good thing when I’m in need of a card in a hurry.
Yes, I’m a cardmaker but I can be very slack with sending cards out on time. How cute is this card for those times when you miss a special someone’s birthday?
Easel Fold Measurements
Cardstock 21cm x 14.8cm (score at 5.2cm and 10.5cm on the long side) DSP panels – 9.9cm x 7.1cm (2 pieces), 9.9cm x 14.2cm (for the inside) Mountain Fold the score lines The sentiment is propped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals so the card can sit up.
I stamped the turtle outline in Early Espresso. The shell was inked up in Old Olive and then I added some Evening Evergreen around the edges of the stamp using a sponge dauber. This gave the shell some nice variation in colour. Once I stamped the image, I coloured around the turtle with a combination of Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
For the inside of the card, I fussy cut the pot and leaves from the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP, adding a slit with my Paper Snips so the leaves could fit inside the pot. I added some extra shading with Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. These 2 sentiments are one stamp which I cut in half to give me more ways to use them. It’s really easy to do and once you cut the first one … the possibilities are endless!

It’s time for the Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop with my favourite – a sketch challenge for this month.. By having a sketch, it takes away you having to work out a design style. You can then have fun picking out all your paper and embellishments to suite the sketch. For this blog hop, a few changes could be made while the basic layout remained the same.
For my card, I wanted to use some of our retiring products. Retiring products are available while stocks last. You can find available products here.
I’ve chosen the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More cards which offer options for scrapbookers as well as cardmakers.
I flipped the sketch so it was vertical and added my sentiment to the label.
To start off with, I embossed a panel of Just Jade Cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embosssing Folder which is retiring. This is going to stay in my stash as I love the simple texture of it.
The Under my Umbrella stamp set offers cute images and these galoshes have got to be my favourite in the set. I stamped 2 pairs on True Love Designer Series Paper and coloured them with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
Then I heat embossed the images with Clear Embossing Powder 3 times. I suggest heat embossing before fussy cutting as this gives you a larger piece of paper to hold onto when using the Heat Tool. The second shoe was layered for dimension.
The label was punched out 3 times – Memories & More card, Just Jade and Bumblebee Cardstock – and layered by cutting in half and attaching to the back.
Thanks for stopping by to view my creation. I hope you give the Memories & More cards a try for quick cards. Next on our hop is Jill Chapman.
Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share March Blog Hop. Thank you for stopping by my blog Stamping Flair today. I’m a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Melbourne. Our theme today is projects suitable to give the younger men and older men in our lives.
I had chosen the Game On stamp set which was one of my early picks from the 2020 Annual Catalogue which I loved. I paired it with another fabulous suite from this catalogue which is the World of Good suite. This entire suite is retiring and is definitely one which I’ll be holding onto.
The set of game cards were heat embossed in White onto one of the World of Good Memories n’ More cards. I coloured in the hearts with the Dark Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blend and fussy cut the image.
The rest of the card was built around a variety of the Memories n’ More cards in this set with lots of layering. The distressed edge was achieved by running Paper Snips right along the edge.
By stamping the sentiment on one of the included cards, I was able to achieve a muted tone of Mossy Meadow. Some Brushed Metallic cardstock, together with extra pieces of cards and stickers add some Brass accents to this card.
I hope you have enjoyed this card and been inspired to try out our range of Memories n’ More cards. . They are great for scrapbooking as well as for cardmaking. Currently Stampin’ Up! has a number of items retiring and these are only available while stocks last.

Hello and welcome to Stamping Flair in Melbourne. I’m so glad you have stopped by my blog today. We’ve got lots of fun inspiration with our Fancy Fold theme.
I’ve got a lovely Fancy Fold card to share with you. It’s easy to create and looks great. We’re saying goodbye to Sale-A-Bration today so I gave the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper a grand send off on this card.
As soon as I saw this Fancy Fold on Satomi Wellard’s blog I knew I wanted to recreate it. It’s a variation of a Gatefold Card and so pretty.
Measurements
A4 Card base – 29.6cm x 21cm Score at 7cm and 14cm from left and right (on the long side) DSP 6.6cm x 20.6cm – 6 pieces (4 pieces in 1 design and 2 pieces in a coordinating design)
Once you get all your folds it’s a matter of adding Designer Series Paper as you like to decorate it. The Paper Blooms DSP is a free product which you can earn with a $90 order – but this offer ends today!
To attach the centre image which holds the ‘gates’ together, I added 3 Stampin’ Dimensionals right in the centre Seaside Spray panel (the part not covered by DSP). This allows the folds to tuck in nicely under the circle. The inner circle and leaves were die cut from one of the sheets of DSP which has circles on it (I did tell you I made maximum use of the DSP). I have just got the Pierced Blooms bundle and I’m loving the detail on it.
One thing you do need to pay attention to when adding all the beautiful flowers and leaves, that you only attach it to the circle. I got caught up in decorating and attached it to the flap and realized just in time that this wouldn’t allow the card to open!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this Fancy Fold and give it a try. I’d love to hear how you like it in the comments.
