HSS #481 | Encircle With Love colour challenge

Leave a comment February 3, 2026 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

There’s something about a soft pink colour palette that instantly feels warm, cheerful, and full of heart—and this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge delivers exactly that! 💕

For HSS481, we’re playing with Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo, and Bubble Bath, and I couldn’t resist leaning into a clean, layered design with subtle texture and a pop of sparkle.

I started with a Strawberry Slush card base, then added an embossed Basic White layer using the Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder for quiet texture without overwhelming the design. The focal panel features Celebratory Sips DSP creating movement and interest while keeping the look soft and cohesive.

A simple Bubble bath 1/4″ ribbon tie adds gentle detail, while the circular sentiment—popped up with Dimensionals—draws the eye and ties the whole card together. A few sparkly embellishments (Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems) finish it off with just the right amount of shine.

This colour trio is perfect for love cards, thinking-of-you cards, or happy mail just because. I hope it inspires you to give this week’s challenge a try!

Merry Christmas — Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #HSS478

Leave a comment December 9, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today I’m sharing my card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSS478 Colour Challenge, and it’s the perfect project if you’re still squeezing in a few last-minute Christmas cards! I wanted something quick, clean, and still absolutely stunning—and this bold “Merry Christmas” sentiment delivered exactly that.

I stamped the Merry Christmas image in Shaded Spruce onto Basic White cardstock, then layered it over a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and a full background of Need for Tweed 12″ x 12″ DSP for cozy winter texture. The frame comes from the Textured Notes Dies, and I tucked in a few delicate vellum leaves cut with the brand-new Nature’s Symphony Dies—coming in January! A sprinkle of Traditional Sparkling Sequins adds just the right amount of festive shine.

It’s getting late in the season, but if you need a card that’s fast and fabulous, this one is definitely the ticket.

This is my final HSS design team project for 2025, but I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be returning to the team again in 2026. Thank you for all the love and support this year—your encouragement means so much. 💚✨

Merry & Bright for HSS Color Challenge #475

Leave a comment October 28, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge is a gorgeous one — featuring Cherry Cobbler, Secret Sea, and Pool Party. These colours come together beautifully for a rich, festive look that’s perfect for holiday cardmaking.

For my project, I pulled out the Merry Christmas stamp set — I just love that elegant, bold font! I paired it with the sweet poinsettia image from the Jolly Holly stamp set for a touch of classic Christmas charm.

The background layers showcase the Regal Distressed Designer Series Paper — that subtle pattern adds just the right amount of texture and warmth. To finish off the design, I tied on some Secret Sea ribbon for a soft pop of colour and shimmer.

A few stamped poinsettias and low profile sparkle dots complete the look for a simple yet stunning holiday greeting card.

If you haven’t yet, hop over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog to see the rest of the design team’s creations — and play along with us this week!

Dino-Mite Fun for HSS472 + GDP514!

Leave a comment September 16, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I combined the sketch from Global Design Project #514 with the Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #472. The colour combo of Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, and Pretty Peacock was perfect for creating a playful fall card with a cheerful twist.

This card features the Darling Dinos bundle. I used masking to create the layered field of flowers behind the dino, giving extra depth and dimension. Paired with the embossed sunflower background and a bold sentiment banner, this layout came together beautifully and stayed true to the sketch.

This card makes me smile—it’s bright, fun, and perfect for a birthday surprise!

HSS469 Colour Challenge- Cheers to Blackberry Season!

Leave a comment August 5, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #469 features a beautiful combo of:
🟣 Blackberry Bliss
🟪 Fresh Freesia
🩵 Pool Party

This palette immediately reminded me of the juicy blackberries I picked earlier this week — so of course, I had to add a few to the glasses on this card! The Cheers & Sips stamp set and Celebratory Sips DSP were the perfect pairing for this berry-inspired design.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions:

Card Base: Pool Party cardstock, A2 size (5½” x 4¼”).

Embossed Layer: Fresh Freesia panel (4″ x 5¼”). Emboss using the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder (tile pattern) for a patio-inspired backdrop.

Arch Focal Point: Die cut stitched arches from Everyday Details Dies (4th and 5th largest) in Blackberry Bliss and Basic White.

Adhere with liquid glue.

Drinks & Details: Die cut two drink glasses from the Celebratory Sips DSP. Use the texturing die on the taller glass. Add stamped blackberry clusters (because why not bring the garden to the glass?) Arrange and adhere with Dimensionals over the arch panel.

Sentiment Label: Stamp “Cheers” in Blackberry Bliss on Pool Party cardstock. Die cut using Beautiful Butterflies Dies label.

Final Touches: Stamp “Let’s Celebrate!” on the arch. Scatter a few Starburst Sequins for some bubbly sparkle. Tuck in more blackberries for flavour and fun! To create the blackberries I stamped them in B;ackberry Bliss Ink and used a blending pen to add Blackberry Bliss Ink to the insides, then die cut.

💡 TIP: Heat emboss the drinks for a glassy look or add Wink of Stella to the berries for extra juice-inspired shine!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #466 – Cheers & Sips Colour Challenge

Leave a comment June 24, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hello crafty friends!
I’m so excited to share this cheerful creation for this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #466, featuring the fun trio:

I used the Cheers & Sips stamp set and dies—perfect for summer celebrations, patio parties, or just spreading sunshine in an envelope!

🍹 Design Details:

Stamp Set & Dies: Cheers & Sips bundle
Designer Series Paper: Celebratory Sips DSP (fussy cut the drink from the DSP)
Cardstock Colours: Strawberry Slush base, accent layer in Coastal Cabana
Embossing Folder: Glass & Gardens (adds perfect subtle texture behind the drinks)
Sentiment Label: Stylish Shapes Dies
Embellishments: 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls (in Strawberry Slush)

💡 Tips & Tricks:

🎨 DSP Hack:
I coloured right on the Cloud Cover umbrella print from the DSP using a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend—it helped balance the colour challenge beautifully and brought new life to a neutral element!

🖌️ Embossing Tip:
Use the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder to add just the right amount of elegant texture—perfect for grounding bold images like these sassy summer sips.

✨ Colour Balance:
Keep bright combos cohesive by repeating each colour in multiple places—like background layers, embellishments, and accents—without overwhelming the eye.

HSS #463 Colour Challenge – Happy Hibiscus Card Featuring Fresh Freesia, Summer Splash & Soft Sea Foam

Leave a comment May 13, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hello friends!

It’s time for a fresh new colour challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments, and this one has me dreaming of tropical blooms and sunny skies! For HSS Challenge #463, we’re playing with a gorgeous palette of Fresh Freesia, Summer Splash, and Soft Sea Foam — and I couldn’t resist pulling out the Happy Hibiscus Bundle for this one. 💜💦💚

Here’s my design for the challenge:

I started with a bold Summer Splash card base to make those florals pop, then added a panel of white cardstock cut with the Textured Notes Dies for that subtle stitched border. The hibiscus flowers are stamped in Fresh Freesia and layered with coordinating die cuts for added dimension.

I used Soft Sea Foam for the die-cut leaves — they give the card a nice balance without overpowering the blooms. And how sweet are those little white accent flowers with Holographic Resin Dots for some sparkle? They’re the perfect finishing touch!

This card came together so easily thanks to the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and dies — it’s quickly becoming one of my favourites for summer crafting. The mix of bold florals and delicate details is just right for cards that celebrate life’s special moments.

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:

Everyday Details Card | HSS Colour Challenge #460

Leave a comment April 1, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week, I participated in the Hand Stamped Sentiments #460 Colour Challenge, featuring Pecan Pie, Summer Splash, and Pretty Peacock. These rich, bold hues inspired me to create this elegant “Everyday Details” card using the Textured Notes dies to add some special textures to the layers.

Here’s the card I created:

Project Details:

I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered it with a tone-on-tone stamped and die cut background for added texture. The detailed nest was stamped in Memento Black, then coloured with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, paired beautifully with Summer Splash eggs and Pretty Peacock leaves. The Textured Notes dies added depth, and by double-cutting, I turned the original rectangle shape into a square for added versatility. A Basic White layer embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder creates even more dimension, while the finishing touches—rhinestones and a white and silver bow—add a bit of shimmer and elegance.

This card is perfect for special occasions – like the arrival of a new baby. Be sure to check out the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog for more colour challenge inspiration and to share your own creation!

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:

Pretty Peacock 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock $15.75	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock $18.00	Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set (English) $33.00	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad $11.00	Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad $12.25	Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack $15.00

Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #457: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist & Summer Splash

Leave a comment February 18, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Are you ready for a fun and vibrant colour challenge? This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments , we’re playing with a fresh and cheerful trio: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, and Summer Splash! These colours bring a bright, tropical feel to any project, and I had so much fun creating this birthday card featuring the With You In Mind stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

A Closer Look at My Card Design

For this card, I combined the bold colours of the challenge, layering techniques, and heat embossing to make the elements pop. Here’s how I brought this colour combo to life:

Finishing Touches: A few sparkly embellishments (Iridescent Faceted Gems) add just the right amount of shine!

Background Stamping: I started with a Lemon Lime Twist cardstock base and added subtle tone-on-tone cupcake images using the With You In Mind stamp set.

Layered Panels: To add dimension, I layered Summer Splash and 2024-2026 In Colour 6X6 Designer Series Paper (with a Summer Splash geometric pattern) for extra texture.

Cupcake Details: The cupcakes were stamped in Calypso Coral and then I heat embossed the cupcake bottoms with Silver Embossing Powder to give them a shiny, metallic touch.

Sentiment: The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment was stamped in Versamark on Summer Splash cardstock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally I fussy cut it, giving it a crisp and playful look.
