Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 451- Colour Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a beautiful Colour Challenge. I used the Humble Home stamp set and punch bundle, from Stampin’ Up! The rest of the design team have also created beautiful cards using the wonderful colour combo below. Hop over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments page to view them all and then join the challenge.

Here is my card created using these great colours. I created a Christmas card, but this could easily be turned into a new home card or a thank you card.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 450- Inspiration Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a gorgeous Inpsiration Challenge. I used the One of a Kind stamp set and the Christmas labels bundle, both from Stampin’ Up! The rest of the design team have also created beautiful cards using the inspirational images below. Hop over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments page to view them all and then join the challenge.

Here is my card created using this inspiration. It was a lot of embossing – but the result is stunning. I LOVE non-traditional Christmas colours so had to create with the fabulous Bubble Bath pink.

Alpine Air Kit by Stampin’ Up!

This month Stampin’ Up! is having a kit sale – 30% off all kits!! So I am featuring the new Alpine Air Kit. In this kit you get supplies to make 9 cards ( 3 each of 3 designs). All our kits come with everything you need (paper, adhesive, stamp set, block, and ink, etc…) except a pair of scissors and a stamp cleaner. You can see the video I created of the 3 designs from the kit as well as 3 alternative designs. Keep scrolling for a 4th bonus card that I made after the video ended.

Here are the 3 cards (almost) as the kit instructions show.

Here are my 3 alternative cards.

Finally, here is my 4th bonus card – I found the extra Night of Navy cardstock piece on my desk while cleaning up. So I die cut some Thoughtful Journey DSP with the Deckled Rectangles and put it all together on a Thick Basic White card base.

The supplies I used to create the cards in my video (the kit designs and 4 alternatives) are listed below.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – October 2024

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring cards to show gratitude. I hope all of my Canadian friends enjoyed a sunny, fantastic Thanksgiving weekend. We are actually celebrating in my house hold next weekend – so we thoroughly enjoyed the sun and time in the garden.

See all the details of my cards below and then hop around to see all the amazing cards created by our team members!  Leave a comment and then come back to see us again on the 14th next month!

I chose the Iconic Imagery Bundle. See below instructions and a full list of supplies used to create this card.

Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow my blog for lots more great inspiration!

Here is a full list of supplies needed to create this card.


  1. Take a 5-½” X 12” piece of Very Vanilla CS, score it at 4-¼”, 7-¼” & 10-¼”.
  2. On the 4-1/4” section of the card base – add two score lines, 1-1/4” and 1-3/8” then use those as a guide to add leaf embossing to the edge.
  3. Glue a 2-¾” X 5-¼” piece of Naturally Gilded DSP to the inside fold that faces front and glue a 1-½” X 5-¼” embossed piece of Very Vanilla CS to the front flap.
  4. Stamp sentiment on the Very Vanilla tag using Pretty Peacock Ink – ensure the tag hole is to the right.
  5. Run ribbon through the tag hole and across the back of the tag. Use two Dimensionals on the back of the left side of the tag to attach it to the front flap of the card. Tie the ribbon in a bow on the right side of the card. Trim ends if needed, but not too short!
  6. Use Versamark to stamp 3 leaves on the Pretty Peacock sheet, then heat emboss using Gold embossing powder. Die cut and glue to the card front (have the leaves hang slightly off the edges of the tag and the front folds.
  7. Embellish with Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems.

A perk to ordering with me in the month of September is that with any order over $65cdn, I am emailing out an amazing 40 project Tutorial Bundle. Just use the host code below. As a member of my team you get free access to this Tutorial Bundle.
