Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop December 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 "Bring the Bling!". I pulled out a quite a few retired items from my stash for this challenge. I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set with the coordinating Frosted Flurries Dies, Shimmery White cardstock, Gold Fine Shimmer Paper, Gold & Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper, Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment and Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

Instructions:

- Use Shimmery White card for the base, layer with a piece of Gold Fine Shimmer Paper and then another piece of Shimmery White card. 

- Die cut snowflakes from Gold & Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper using the Frosted Flurries Dies, and layer onto the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set onto Shimmery White card using Tuxedo Black ink. Layer the sentiment onto a piece of the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper and adhere.

-  Use the Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment and adhere as many as wanted to the front of the card. Add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the snowflake centres to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Thank you for joining us for this month's Let's Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship through the love of stamping and our admiration of each others style of crafting. Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. Make sure to check the blog links below to see the team's fabulous creations.

This month's challenge is a theme challenge suggested by ME! As it is summer here in Australia, and most crafting items for this time of year tend to reflect a more northern hemisphere colder climate Christmas, I wanted to pick something that would resonate with all of us Aussie Stampin' Up!® demonstrators. The theme I picked was "A Bush Christmas".

Instructions:

- Use Lost Lagoon as a card base and mat with a layer of Basic White. Add another layer of Basic White that has had the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper adhered to it with Liquid Glue.

- Stamp leaves from Magical Meadow set onto Basic White card using Stampin' Write Markers. (Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Real Red) to give more varied colour to the leaves.

- Use the Magical Meadow Dies to cut out the leaves. and layer them onto the card. Stamp a sentiment from the Magical Meadow set onto basic White using Lost Lagoon ink and then mat onto some Lost Lagoon card. Finally add some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to the card to complete.
