Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop April 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 "Pretty Pastels". One of my all time favourite Pastel colours is So Saffron which retired a few years back. I decided to use it as my primary Pastel and add some other retired Pastel colours and neutrals to create my card. I used the You Are Remarkable (images) and Thoughtful Wishes (sentiment) stamp sets, combining them with the Happy Forest Friends DSP and Stampin' Blends in retired colours.
Instructions:
- Use Sahara Sand card for the base and layer with Basic White card. Stamp a pattern on a smaller piece of Sahara Sand card using the You Are Remarkable stamp set, Sahara Sand ink and a second generation stamping technique. Layer with two different pieces of the Happy Forest Friends DSP (edges distressed) and a piece of So Saffron card.
- Stamp the image from the You Are Remarkable set and the sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp sets using Tuxedo Black onto Basic White card. Fussy cut the image and sentiment. Use retired Pastel Stampin' Blends to colour the floral image (So Saffron, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, Rococo Rose, Mint Macaron and Mango Melody).
- Adhere the image and sentiment onto the card. Finally add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels coloured with So Saffron Stampin' Blends to complete.

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the Global Design Project's GDP490 Sketch Challenge. Sketch challenges make life so much easier when you need inspiration for card making. Visit the Global Design Project Instagram & Facebook pages during the week to see the rest of the team's entries.
For my card I used the You Are Remarkable stamp set, Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, Woven Textures DSP, Neutral Matte Dots and Stampin' Blends. I love the stamp set and wanted to use the neutral, more masculine Woven Textures papers to show how they can be used in a softer way.
Instructions:
- Use Crumb Cake for the card base. Stamp the dotty image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set with Basic Beige ink onto a piece of Basic White card and layer onto the Crumb Cake card. Layer a piece of the Woven Textures DSP on top.
- Use a smaller piece of Crumb Cake card and emboss with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. Layer a smaller piece of Early Espresso card onto it to mimic the sketch.
- Stamp the images and sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set onto Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink. Fussy cut the floral image and colour with Stampin' Blends (Peach Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Moody Mauve, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow). Adhere the image once coloured to the card.
- Adhere the sentiment and then Pecan Pie Neutral Matte Dots to the card front to complete.
