Sunflowers Field for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

 Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is CASE the Sept-Dec Catalogue. How exciting to share with you this catalogue and the goodies that are now available via the online shop!

I have created an overlapping strip card using the colours from Sunflowers Field DSP.

Here's the challenge picture from page 38 of the latest catalogue

Lets take a closer look at this card. I used the 2nd largest die from Perennial Postage dies to cut the edge on strips of cardstock - Cajun Craze, Golden Glow, Secret Sea and Old Olive.

After spacing the strips out, I glued them together in place and adhered it to the white card base, trimming the excess edges.  The final size of each strip measures 3/4" x 4-1/8" 

To finish this card I fussy cut a sunflower from the DSP pack and created a label sentiment from Reason to Celebrate Stamp set. The final touches were dots from last chance Earthen Matte dots and a little bow made with Linen thread.

Love this mix n match sentiment set!

Regal Balloon Festoon

 Today I'm sharing a fun balloon card I made with very Regal deep tone shades of cardstock. I love making new and interesting card colour combinations and today I have paired Shaded Spruce, Berry Burst, Gorgeous Grape and Blueberry Bushel together.

These balloon really pop in these tones don't you think?

Some have been raised with Foam dimensionals. 

I think what really makes these pop is the shine detail. I cut these in:

Balmy Blue (on Blueberry Bushel)

Soft Sea Foam (on Shaded Spruce)

Bubble Bath (on Berry Burst)

and Highland Heather for Gorgeous Grape - however I didnt end up adding it to the final card. 

Like the background of the card front, I stamped the confetti image in Daffodil Delight to the inside too. 

A really wonderful bundle, you'l be suprised how big the Balloon dies actually are, well worth the purchase.

Balloon Festoon Fun Fold Easel Card for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

  Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Fun Fold cards.

I have created my all time favourite and go to fun fold - an Easel Card! The twist with this card is that I have created the card base from the largest balloon die in Balloon Festoon, a new die set from the 2026 Annual Catalogue.

It might look crooked but thats intentional. The easel wouldn't work very well if I attempted to stand it upright, so I angled the balloon. 

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this card.

To decorate this card I used the next balloon size from the Die set to cut an inside and outside panel. The front uses the new Velvet Meadow DSP, along with birds from Cutest Crew Bundle and the greeting from Balloon Festoon.

I never forget the inside!

If you're on the fence about purchasing the Cutest Crew Bundle GET IT, its so adorable, you won;t regret it. 

If you're thinking of making this fun fold, heres a tip, use the grid lines on your Stampin Trimmer to make sure your card is straight for the easel score line (see 6.5cm grid line and how I aligned the centre fold on that line)

I just cant stop! More corner to corner DSP cuts

Today I'm sharing the last of these cards. I had so much fun making these and using up some of the last bits of DSP.

Love the rich dark tones here with Real Red, Secret Sea and Blackberry Bliss

Those drinks look dangerously good enough to devour!

I really enjoy fussy cutting images especially the ones on the edge of the paper and using these on the inside of my cards. Theres no way I'm binning them just because they're not a full image.

This combination is a little 'sweeter' but a classic combination of Old Olive and Purples, Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Bubble Bath

I can just smell that sprig of lavender!

Some more fussy cut images for the inside. 

Lastly a fun, more colourful combination, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green for the drinks with a Strawberry Slush background

This has been such a great way to showcase all the sides of the DSP pack.

How cute is that jug pitcher?

Hobby Haven - The last of the preprinted die cuts

 Today I'm sharing  the last of the pre printed die cuts from Hobby Haven! I so enjoyed this DSP pack.

I have made this rather eclectic set of cards.

I like the colourfulness and mix of items on it

A little banner to finish the inside and we're done!
