Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #459

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

It’s time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge (#HSS459), and this one is full of dreamy pastels, elegant florals, and soft natural textures! The colour palette of Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, and Peach Pie creates the perfect delicate, nature-inspired design.

For this challenge, I created a Bandstand Fold Card, a fun interactive design I learned from Dawn Griffith. This fold adds an elegant touch, making it perfect for showcasing beautiful layers of Designer Series Paper.

Here’s the Inspiration Image for This Week’s Challenge:

Here’s the card I created:

Project Details:

The soft floral design from Perennial Lavender DSP combined with the stunning Thoughtful Designs Specialty DSP creates a layered, ethereal effect, mirroring the inspiration challenge perfectly. The Labelled With Love Bundle adds the perfect focal point with a sentiment framed by delicate stamped florals and soft pastel butterflies.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – June 2024

Leave a comment June 14, 2024 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

This month we are featuring Bundles from the new 2024 Annual Catalogue. There are lots of great stamp sets in the catalogue – but since Stampin’ Up! is offering an additional 10% off new bundles in the month of June – we thought you might want to see those especially. 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 Labeled With Love Bundle. See below for 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. You’ll see I listed this bundle twice – that’s because you can choose to get it with either dies (on sale for 10% off) or a punch ( not on sale) to cut out the label. What’s your preference?

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $15.50	Lost Lagoon 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [133679] $15.75	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] $18.00	Perennial Lavender 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [162593] $17.00	Labeled With Love Dies Bundle (English) [163574] $54.75
Labeled With Love Punch Bundle (English) [163571] $54.75	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708] $11.00	Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Pad [161678] $12.25	Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad [153118] $12.25	Highland Heather Classic Stampin' Pad [147103] $12.25
Purple Fine Shimmer Gems [162611] $11.00	Sponge Daubers [133773] $10.25	Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] $8.25	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $6.00	Paper Snips [103579] $16.50

A perk to ordering with me in the month of June is that with any order over $65cdn, I am emailing out an amazing 41 project Tutorial Bundle. Just use the host code below. As a member of my team you get free access to this Tutorial Bundle.
