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!

Peach Pie & Mixed Florals Monochrome - Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome back to another YEAR with Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is MONOCHROMATIC.

I have created a simple layered card using Peach Pie as the main colour for this card.

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this card. I used a couple techniques to colour this card. 

The background has some gentle stamping - using the ink pad directly stamp the ink pad to your cardstock at different angles. Using the stamp pad technique again, this time stamp it with a heavier hand to create a darker shade. 

A simple but fun card to create, it was hard to stick to one colour

I was 7th in the chain for this round and have created a worded card using the mini alphabet die

Lets take a closer look at this card. I created a layered look for the background using stamps, wawtercolouring and splatters of ink.

I loved the process, it was fun and creative to just go a bit rogue. 

I cut up the panel in all directions, no plan, just cut cut cut

Carry the theme thru to the inside with lots of overlapping stamped images

If you dont have this die set - grab it quick! the bubble letters are fun and versatile

Inspiring Imperfections Shaker - Card Chain 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 9th in the chain for this round and have created this shake card - I havent made one in the longest time. They're so fun.

Lets take a closer look at this card. My first thing I did was to create the front panel. Die cut the shapes out from DSP

To create a thin GOLD frame for this die cut, simply cut around the edge of the die cut with your scissors, take your time and cut as evenly as you can

For the inside, I carried the theme thru with som ink splatters from my Stampin' Blends

A very elegant and different bundle, available from the Annual catalogue until May 2026
