Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop July 2026. I am joined by an amazing lineup of crafters so make sure you go to my Instagram page HERE to see the rest of the team's creations. 

The aim of the hop is to use up some of the huge stash that we all accumulate. Hopefully it will also inspire both ourselves and others to combine some of our old and new products to reduce that stash.

This month's theme is "Sunny Summer". It's the middle of winter here in Australia, so I wanted to pick a set that reflected an Australian summer. I ended up choosing the retired Kangaroo & Company stamp set, 2024-2026 In Colour DSP and Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (all retired). I also added in some current items - the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and Everyday Arches Dies. I added in colour to the card using the DSP, ink blending and Stampin' Blends.

Instructions:

- Use Crumb Cake card for the base and layer with Basic White card and then a layer of the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. Die cut Basic White card using the Everyday Arches Dies and ink blend coordinating ink colours, to give the appearance of the dry and sunny Australian outback. Adhere the arch to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Stamp images from the Kangaroo & Company stamp set onto Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink, colour with Stampin' Blends and fussy/die cut out. Use the same ink and stamp the sentiment onto a separate piece of Basic White card.

- Fussy cut leaves from the 2024-2026 In Colour DSP and layer these leaves under the arch and onto the blended background placing them to frame the stamped kangaroos. Adhere all the images and sentiments to the card. Finally add some Adhesive Backed Milky Dots to complete.
