Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for the FAB Instahop Design Team Monthly hop. We are a team of demonstrators from all over the world who are sharing creations on Instagram sparked by monthly challenges.
This month our challenge is to create a card inspired by our "Favourite Artist". One of my very favourite artists is the Impressionist painter Claude Monet.
The Masterfully Made DSP in particular reminds me of the Garden at Giverney (see below for my inspiration picture (obtained from Wikipedia).
In addition to the Masterfully Made DSP, I also used the Gorgeously Made Bundle (stamp set and dies) and the 2 3/8" Circle Punch. I tried to keep my card simple to really highlight the beautiful DSP.

Instructions:
- For the card base, use a piece of Basic White cut in half lengthwise and folded. Layer with a piece of Azure Afternoon card and then a piece of Lost Lagoon card. Finally layer a piece of the Masterfully Made DSP on top.
- Use a 2 3/8" circle punch to cut a circle from Fresh Freesia card. Stamp the text stamp from the Gorgeously Made set onto the circle using Fresh Freesia ink (second generation stamping). Also use the Thank You sentiment from the set with Azure Afternoon ink on Basic White card to stamp the sentiment.
- Die cut a leaf from Basic White and a border from Azure Afternoon using the Gorgeously Made Dies. Layer the leaf onto the circle and and the sentiment onto the border to complete the card.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for the FAB Instahop Design Team Monthly hop. We are a team of demonstrators from all over the world who are sharing creations on Instagram sparked by monthly challenges.
This month our challenge is "Favourite Christmas Carol". I do have many Favourite Christmas Carols, but as we celebrate Christmas in summer here in Australia, I wanted to use a "classic" Australian Carol.
There are two Christmas Carols - the 12 Days of Aussie Christmas and Aussie Jingle Bells that fill the brief for me. My favourite of the two is the 12 Days of Aussie Christmas where there are 5 "Rusty Utes" instead of 5 Gold Rings. See below for the full video of the 12 Days of Aussie Christmas Carol. Also click HERE if you would like to see the Aussie Jingle Bells video as well (It is well worth a watch as they are both quintessentially Aussie).
For my card, I used the Trucking Along Bundle, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Circles Dies, Merry Bold & Bright DSP and Stampin' Blends to colour the images and give the appearance of a "Rusty Ute". I used brighter non traditional colours for the card, to mimic the summery feel to an Australian Christmas.

Instructions:
- For the card base, use a piece of Melon Mambo cut in half lengthwise and folded. Layer with a piece of Granny Apple Green card and then a piece of Merry Bold & Bright DSP.
- Die cut a piece of Basic White card the Deckled Circles Dies and emboss with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. Stamp the image from the Trucking Along stamp set onto Basic White using Pebbled Path ink. Punch out using the coordinating punch. Colour the image with Stampin' Blends (Blueberry Bushel, Pool Party, Wild Wheat, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo).
- Stamp a sentiment from the Trucking Along stamp set onto Basic White using Melon Mambo ink and adhere.

I have many many favourite books but one of the favourites in our house is the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling.

I used the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder to add texture to the background and also Stampin' Blends to add the various House colours to the envelopes and uniform for the Harry character.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! My card for today is for the FAB Instahop Design Team Monthly hop. We are a team of demonstrators from all over the world who are sharing creations on Instagram sparked by monthly challenges. This month our challenge is "Favourite Colour Combination". Pinks are always a favourite so when Stampin' Up!® brought out new Bubble Bath and Berry Burst I had to incorporate those colours into this challenge. I combined them with two new favourite 2023-2025 In Colours and Crumb Cake (and a tiny spot of Moody Mauve in the gems).
I used the Timeless Arrangements Bundle (stamp set and dies) combined with the Bright & Beautiful DSP and the 2023-2025 In Colour DSP. I also added the Moody Mauve 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.
Visit my Instagram page HERE to see all the creations from the rest of the team.
Instructions:
- Use a piece of Crumb Cake card for the card base, and layer with Basic White card and then a piece of the Bubble Bath coloured Bright & Beautiful DSP.
- Use a 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch out a piece of the Pebble Path 2023-2025 In Colour DSP. Stamp leaves and flowers from the Timeless Arrangements set onto Basic White card using Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path ink respectively.
- Die cut leaves from a piece of the Bright & Beautiful DSP (Berry Burst and Bubble Bath in colour) as well as from Wild Wheat cardstock. Adhere the pieces on top of the punched DSP circle.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Timeless Arrangment set on Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink and layer onto a strip of the Wild Wheat 2023-2025 In Colour DSP and then onto the card. Add some Moody Mauve 2023-2025 In Colour to complete.
