Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop August 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 "Foods". For my card, I chose the retired More Than Autumn stamp set, 2024-2026 In Colour DSP, Vellum, Stampin' Blends and Gold Metallic Enamel Effects.

Instructions:

- Use Basic White card for the base and layer with Pretty in Pink card and then a layer of the 2024-2026 In Colour DSP. Layer a smaller piece of Basic White onto the card front and adhere a crumpled piece of Vellum onto it to mimic tissue paper.

- Stamp images from the More Than Autumn stamp set onto Basic White using Tuxedo Black and Barely Blush ink, colour with Stampin' Blends and fussy/die cut out. Use the same black ink and stamp the sentiment onto a separate piece of Basic White card.

- Fussy cut the sentiment and adhere to the donuts. Finally add some details to mimic icing on the donuts using Gold Metallic Enamel Effects to complete the card.
