It’s the BEST time of year to shop at Stampin’ Up! – SALE-a-bration!!! For every $60CAD you spend you can earn FREE SAB items!

Today’s card was created using two SAB items! The Silver & Gold 6×6 DSP (FREE with a $60CAD purchase) and the Making Plans stamp set (Part of the Making Plans Collection that you will receive for FREE when you purchase the Starter Kit for only $135CAD). It was inspired by the TGIF Colour Challenge (tgifc375).

These soft colours mixed with the Silver DSP made me think of a pastel watermelon. I love this combo – it is great for a hazy summer day. This card is also a great one to have on hand – especially if you are hosting your first Stampin’ Party with friends and family 🙂

Here is a close up of the Silver & Gold 6X6 DSP. Use it as is, or add some colour to it with your blending brushes. The metallics are a great added detail to any card.

This is the full Making Plans Collection that you will receive for FREE in your Starter Kit, along with $165 in product of your choice, a past Paper Pumpkin kit, catalogues, and business supplies.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 392 – Sketch Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a versatile Sketch Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used a wide range of pinks to create this card. Blushing Bride cardstock, Melon Mambo Ink, Polished Pink Opal Rounds, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. Not to mention the Flirty Flamingo blooms cut fromt he Hues of Happiness DSP. The stamp set I used for the sentiment was Happiness Abounds from the brand new 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

To add some interest to the background of this card I applied Melon Mambo Ink in a small circular motion using a Blending Brush – then I Picked up some Melon Mambo Ink with a Water Paper and splattered it across the embossed and inked background piece. The ribbon and opals add just the right amount of sparkle to the painted blooms.

All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below, you can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.


If you order the Suite Collection from me you can also get FREE access to my upcoming Hues of Happiness Stamp Camp – there are other ways to join as well – see all the details here: https://form.jotform.com/leahdixon41/hues-of-happiness-stamp-camp

Sweetest Cherries Cards

All week I have been crafting with the Sweetest Cherries stamp set. I actually have 2 new cards to share with you.

This first one was created in bright summery colours – Sweet Sorbet ( with Cherry Cobbler along the edges of the cherries), paired with Early espresso and Crumb Cake to create a basket feel.

The second card was created using deep, rich Merry Merlot to create more of a black cherry feeling. I love that this set can be playful, subtle, or crisp depending on the colours you use to craft the cherries.

Earlier this week I created to other very different feeling cards.

If you are loving these cherries as much as I am – you should consider joining my Monthly Card Club ASAP. I am featuring the Sweetest Cherries bundle – deadline to join is July 10th.

Don’t forget that we also have 2 great sales happening right now (until June 30th only) – you’ll want to go to my shop to check out all the details.
