A Book Fold card - Chain Card Swap for Tracy

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Tracy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 9th in the chain for this round and have created a Book fold card. I have used DSP and pre-printed die cuts featured in the Hobby Haven Suite.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I have tried to recreate as many of the elements as I could. The Timid Tiger ribbon on the "book spine", foliage in the background, my plant focal image and part of a circle element (Timid Tiger - my new fav!)

I love rich earthy tones and had a lot fun playing with Cajun Craze, Timid Tiger, Garden Green and Coastal Cabana.

I love how you get a surprise on the inside (left side) with that dynamic diagonal cut, to tie the inside together I stuck a little pre-printed die cut plant to the corner.

Hello Panel Card - Chain Card Swap for Monique

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Monique and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 3rd in the chain for this round and have created a DSP Panel card.

I'm loving using Cloud Cover right now, so I embraced a monotone-like approach with patterns from  Peaceful Garden DSP pack.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

Although the papers are from a christmas pack, the reverse patterns can adapt to any occasion.

"Hello" is from the Everyday Arches Bundle (retired)

The "leaf" die cut is from (retired) Christmas Greenery 

Keeping the inside very simple with just a simple strip of DSP

A great panel card that could be remade in all the PAPERS!

Unbridled Beauty Horse Card - Chain Card Swap for Ros

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Ros and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

For this round I have created a fully decorated Horse card using Unbridled Beauty stamps and Country Woods DSP.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I really like the colour combination Country Woods offer, I used Misty Moonlight cardstock and ink for the sentiment. Coastal Cabana for the card base and some brown tones for the stamping of the horses. 

I stamped the Horse image directly onto the white dsp in Early Espresso ink,  It looks so rustic and really cool with some details in medium/dark Stampin Up blends.

The front flap is a little deceptive as it looks like a regular card front, but as you'll see in the next pic, the front flap is slightly shorter disguised by the DSP I've used.

The rest of the card is decorated with the same DSP pack - a great way to use lots of that hoarded DSP! I love the 2 little horses stamped on the inside they look cute behid the wooden gate and fence.

This stamp set is a real gem, make sure you get yours while online exclusive stocks last.

Along the Lines for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome back to another with Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Animal Kingdom. Its not until you have a specific theme that you realise you actually only have 1 stamp set that has animals!

I have created a cool jungle like card using the Tiger from Along the Lines as my inspiration. 

Theme: Animal Kingdom

Lets take a closer look at this card. I'm also featuring February's Product of the Month - Painted Illusions 12'x12' DSP.  This particular sheet is where I drew my colour inspiration from - Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock ad Granny Apple Green. They make a fab combo!

Doesn't the Tiger look at home on the front there. I stamp it in Granny Apple Green and Lost Lagoon for the card base.

I never forget the inside, again he looks super chill with his paws hanging over the edge of the DSP. 

Lets have a closer look... I cut around the paws as shown below...

Then wedged the DSP strip under his paws.

This set is really great and fun for any occasion or person.

Its LOVE LOVE LOVE for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

  Welcome back to another with Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is a RED Challenge.

I have created a LOVE card using the NEW Hope Love & Joy Bundle from the Summer 2026 Mini Catalogue.

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this card. 

I started out by stamping the L_VE image in Poppy Parade, across the card in various directions. I filled in where the O would be with the heart outline image and die cut heart out using the smallest heart die. 

I used my Blending Brush in the same colour to darken the edges of the cardbase and the front panel.

How great does the embossing look? Its the new Hearts and Love emboss folder

Definitely LOVE this new bundle, I cant wait to make other cards with the other images and words!
