Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the Global Design Colour Challenge this week, where we are using Old Olive, Strawberry Slush & Pretty Peacock. Visit the Global Design Project Instagram & Facebook pages during the week to see the rest of the team's entries.

To create my card, I used products from the Beautiful Gallery Suite including the Gallery Blooms Bundle, Beautiful Motifs Bundle and Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I also used the Season of Elegance DSP, 2 3/8' Circle Punch, Forever Greenery Trim (retired) and Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems.

Instructions:

- Use Pretty Peacock for the card base and layer with a piece with Basic White. Layer with another piece of Basic White card embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. Layer a piece of Season of Elegance DSP.

- Use a 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch a circle from Basic White. Stamp images from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set onto it using second generation stamping with Strawberry Slush ink. Adhere to the front of the card.

- Stamp the floral image from the Gallery Blooms set onto Basic White with Pretty Peacock ink and fussy or die cut out. Cut pieces from Basic White card from the Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs dies. Colour the floral piece and die cut pieces with Stampin' Blends in the challenge colours and layer onto the punched circle

- Use some Gold Forever Greenery trim and add a bow to the front of the card. Stamp a sentiment onto Basic White with Pretty Peacock and adhere to the card. Finally add some Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop July 2025. 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 "I Forgot I Had That". I pulled out a few items from my stash for this one. I used the Nuts & Bolts and Tech Support Stamp sets and combined it with the You Are Amazing Project Kit (from 2021). I also used some retired Mango Melody card, Stampin' Blends and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Instructions:

- Use Pretty Peacock card for the base, layer with a piece of Basic White card and then a piece of Mango Melody card. Layer pieces from the You Are Amazing Project Kit including a card front piece that has been cut down, the star mat and the vellum tag. Use thread from the kit to tie onto the tag

- Stamp images from the Nuts & Bolts stamp set onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink. Colour with Stampin' Blends (Pecan Pie, Smoky Slate, Grey Granite, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody) and fussy cut and adhere to the card.

- Stamp the sentiment and details from the Tech Support stamp set onto a tag from the kit using Tuxedo Black ink and adhere to the card. Add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for Stampin' Fancy Friday's Online Exclusive Challenge. I used new Online Exclusive products from the Floral Charm Suite Collection.

To create my card, I used the Charming Day Bundle (stamp & dies), Floral Charm DSP and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. I used Stampin' Blends to colour the stamped images and also used a 2 3/8" Circle Punch.

Instructions:

- Use Berry Burst for the card base and layer with Basic Beige card, then a strip of the Floral Charm DSP and another strip of Berry Burst card.

- Stamp images from the Charming Day stamp set onto Basic White card using Tuxedo Black ink. Colour the images with Stampin' Blends coordinating with the DSP (Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling and Mossy Meadow) and either fussy or die cut the images.

- Use the Charming Day dies to cut leaves from Basic White and layer the leaves under a circle punched from Basic Beight using a 2 3/8" Circle Punch. Adhere the stamped images over the top of the punch circle.

- Fussy cut florals from the Floral Charm DSP and layer onto the card. Stamp a sentiment from the Charming Day stamp set onto Basic Beige card with Tuxedo Black ink and adhere.
