Pop out Boardwalk Fun - Chain Card Swap for Cheryl

2026-04-15T09:00:00.064+10:00

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Cheryl 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 8th in the chain for this round and have created a Panelled pop out card using some current Summer mini catalogue items. I think every panel has some DSP covering it - such a great way to use some of those 'less heavily patterned' DSP sheets.

I love the Arches dies and every chance I get to use them, I do! This card was CALLING for the arches. I think it looks great with the Ferris wheel poking from the side and the silhouettes of the palm trees.

Lets take a closer look at this card. The palm trees and first Arch frame is cut from Blackberry Bliss. This colour is beautiful, but if I'm honest I usually find it very hard to use. I'm so glad to see it match so well with the Beach Boardwalk DSP.

The pop out arms are 3 lengths of carstock, adhered under the decorative DSP layers so it looks like one big endless card.

Above view, even the inside is decorated with DSP!

We can never forget the writing panel, this time found on the back of the card.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this bundle and suite! Grab it before it sells out.

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Julia 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 super awesome Ocean in the Sky, Double gate fold card. I'm so proud of this card, its exactly how I wanted it to turn out.

Lets take a closer look at this card. The whale and dophin images are from Along the Lines stamp set, which when I first saw it, I knew immediately I needed this set in my stash. I have white embossed them onto the coloured cardstocks to match the (retired) Everyday Skies DSP background - which reminds me of a beautiful heavenly sky. The sentiment is from the Kintsugi suite.

One of my most favourite cards to create this chain swap.

A sneak peek of the inside panels also covered with DSP from Everyday Skies, leaving the middle panel with plenty of writing space.

View from above, this fun fold is made up of 2 pieces

Back panel - 1/4 A4 sheet, 10.5cm x 14.9cm

Double gate fold panel - 1/2 A4 lengthways cut at 10.5cm x 28cm, scored at 5cm, 9.5cm, 18.5cm & 23cm

I have thoroughly enjoyed using this stamp set, I'm sad to see it go! Make sure you grab a copy before it sells out,

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Nancy 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 8th in the chain for this round and have created a PAMPER card.

Using the Hobby Haven DSP pack I choose a die cut to use for my main focal point and then matched the DSP for the background panels.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I used the Dotted Circles Emboss folder on the Soft Sea Foam card base, it reminded me of bubbles. Next up was the Pecan Pie panel and DSP panel, cut into 3 panels, I mixed the order to make it a little more eclectic.

I really loved picking the colours and am so happy with the colour combination - Soft Sea Foam, Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink.

A little love for the inside the match the front.

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

This is my round and I have created a Collage of images using nearly every single image in Cheers and Sips. Although this Suite has recently retired - you can recreate this look with any stamp set that has at least 3 images. Its fun, colourful and easy to do!

Lets take a closer look at this card. I darkened up the edges of this front stamped panel with some Crumb Cake ink and my large blending brush, Its a subtle . I tore a piece of Masking paper (item 155480) to protect where I was going to stamp my sentiment "Cheers Cheers Cheers"

I had so much fun stamping ALLLLL those images in all my favourite colours.

Have you tried this technique before? Did you love or hate it?

I continued the theme to the inside, masking the bottom and stamping along the bottom of the card.

I loved using this Suite -thank you Cheers & Sips!

A Flag card for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

2026-04-04T07:00:00.093+11:00

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Favourite Holidays or Celebrations. Well, I think they're all my favourites to be honest, birthdays are always fun, Christmas is hectic but also rewarding and Easter is all about the chocolate but theres one celebration above all others I want to acknowledge.

Today I have created an Aboriginal flag card. NAIDOC week is one of my favourite Australian celebrations, I think its one of the most important times in the year and this year NAIDOC week celebrates 50 years!

To find out more check out https://www.naidoc.org.au/about/naidoc-theme

After cutting my 'flag' pieces in Basic Black, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight I ran these panels thru the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing folder to give the card texture but more so, this embossing folder has always reminded me of Aboriginal dot art, so it was fitting to use it on this card front.

The Mini Alphabet dies is perfect to add your own personalised greeting or sentiment, I spelt out NAIDOC in the flag colours.

For the final touches I added some little dots to the inside panel with my Stampin Blends

Dotted Circle Embossing Folder is on the LAST CHANCE, grab a bargain or 2 whilst stocks last!

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

2026-03-25T09:00:00.088+11:00

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.

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.

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

2026-01-04T07:00:00.033+11:00

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

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

Lets take a closer look at this card. I have made this card into a Triple Layer card - offset, I love it!
The coloured parts look so striking against the white background. This card was fun and calming to create, all that colouring was therapeutic.

I've chosen Cherry Cobbler for my background frame colour, I'm loving how it pairs well with the other colours - Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Secret Sea for the outlines of the Butterflies.

Christmas Banner for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

2025-12-04T07:00:00.054+11:00

Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas and welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Decorate the Christmas Tree. What a novel idea - to create something to decorate the tree! So many possibilities.

I have created a Peaceful Christmas Banner. It fits in perfectly with the doves and ponsietta flowers in my tree.

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this project.

I began by die cutting letters from glimmer paper. I like to bring a little of my own culture to each christmas so spelling out Feliz Navidad was easy with the Mini Alphabet die set.

I adhered each letter to a 1' circle cut out. Each DSP banner measures 2-1/2 ' x 2", I cut out a little banner edge to each one.

I added a few bows for a sweet touch...

... along with some Hues of Blue Flower embellishments

It looks great in the tree and matchs the colours of my tree decorations so well!

I was 8th in the chain for this round and have created a refreshing card of mixed drinks!

Lets take a closer look at this card.

I love that the dies match the DSP for this set, so I was able to die cut these 'drinks' and just embellish them with the ice stamp and the citrus circles.

For a fun twist, I tied some In Colour Ribbon to my sentiment panel, where my drinks are adhered to - I've never tried that before

For the inside I adhered a strip of the matching DSP from the front

Such a great stamp set and bundle perfect for card giving this coming summer!

Toadstools and Boho Vibes DSP Sampler - Card Chain Swap for Danielle

2025-11-26T09:00:00.041+11:00

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Danielle 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 what I describe as a Sampler Card. Each square shares something different, like a sample.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I REALLLLLY enjoyed casing this card design and knew straight away I wanted to incorporate Boho Vibes DSP and the Toadstools stamp set in Regal colours. The toadstools and mushrooms looks so great in the earthy tones. I also really like the texture and height of those stamped squares. I can't live without foam dimensionals.

How did I do?

For the inside I stamped lots of the mushrooms - Cajun Craze is one of my most favourtie tones, its so rich and stamps incredible!

I can't wait to try this design with other products - you can pretty much mix n match any stamps, colour combos and DSP in this way.

Grab this set if you haven;t already got it!

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about ME and the CASES of my card. I encourage you to start here, at the beginning and follow along to see the progression of my card through the group. It's so interesting to see the development!

This is first in the chain for this round and I created a Birthday card using the cupcake and the Arches dies as the main feature!

Lets take a closer look at this card.

My most favourite part of this front is the cupcake! Its a nice large image that cover a lot of space and is easy to fussy cut too.

I lightly coloured the cupcake with some Blends, but kept the colouring to the outlines only, I didnt want it fully saturated in colour.

For the inside I carried thru with some Fresh Freesia star bursts and Happy Birthday in Azure Afternoon

This set may not be available when this post goes live, but the Bundle with the arch dies is! Look for Everyday Arches Bundle here

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Sharni 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 5th in the chain for this round and have created a funky diagonal cut for the front of this card.

Sometimes we forget we can cut paper in all manners to show case the different paper and patterns, this is a great way to do that there is lots of the Kintsugi aper on show case here.

Lets take a closer look at this card. I really like the diagonal cuts on the front, I could have switched out the patterns more, but I really do love symmetry.

The front square panel is propped up on foam dimensionals and has some fine flower die details.
I recently attended a workshop where starting with some basic white card cardstock you colour with a blending brush and ink pad, gently colour from light to dark, then use this to die cut from. You end up with a beautiful delicate looking piece thats interesting in colour and looks great on any project.

Keeping it simple and in tone for the inside with some stamping, blending with some more dies and DSP.

I'm really enjoying this Suite so much, the colours are beautiful and the cards look so elegant!

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

I was 2nd in the chain for this round and have created a Z fold card with the Arch dies. I love how versatile dies can be, such as turning it on its side for a totally new look.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

Repeat stamping is a great way to fill a space, so I stamped HELLO 3 times in different colours to tie in the colour combiation from the DSP forward.

The balloons are stamped on the white panel and again on DSP then fussy cut, this illusion is golden and can be used in so many ways.

The Z fold is a great fun way to dress up any card front

For the inside I kept the arch theme going and just another balloon to bring it altpgether.

I'm loving the colour palette of this DSP - Everyday Skies

Daisy Wreath for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

2025-11-04T07:00:00.112+11:00

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is to use a Non Christmas product to make a Christmas project. Lets see if my project passes the chistmassy test!

I have created a daisy wreath, what do you think?

I've used a combination of stamps from Natural Botanicals, Peace on Earth and the masking technique to make this card. Plus I strongly believe the colours Ive chosen make it oh so chrismassy - Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Summer Splash

Here's the challenge picture - such a cute horse

Lets take a closer look at this card

I took inspiration from my recent Bunnings purchase, this beautiful Daisy plant

I started out by marking a circle on a square sheet of Basic White cardstock, this is what I used to stamp the daisies on, x5 times in full colour Cherry Cobbler, and inbetween stamped off once in Cherry Cobbler.

Heres the final result - I added some colour with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin Blend markers

I made my project into a Gate Fun Fold with a Belly Band, such a fun way to elevate a card

The daisy and leaf images from this stamp set were the perfect size to create a wreath with.

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

I was 4th in the chain for this round and have created this super cool fun fold, using Beautiful Gallery DSP as the main hero of my card.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

There is just one stamped image and its the sentiment, taken from Beautiful Butterflies.

All the panels are framed by an Early Espresso frame - this rich brown is really growing on me.

To remake this card start you will need the following:

CARD BASE: 20.4x14.9cm // 8"x 5-7/8"

EARLY ESPRESSO PANELS: (x7) 4.9x14.5cm // 2"x 5-5/8' & (x1) 6.7x10.5cm // 2-3/4"x4-1/4"

DSP PANELS: (x6) 4.5x14.1cm // 1-7/8"x5-1/2"& (x1) 6.3x10.1cm //2-1/2"x4"

BASIC WHITE: (x1) 4.5x14.1cm // 1-7/8"x5-1/2"

Heres how I cut the DSP to get a continuous picture ...

You choose how many writing panels you want 1 or 2?

The pop out panel is adhered using 2 small strips of cardstock, ive tucked mine behind the dsp panel so you cant see them.

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Crafty Comeback - OLD meets NEW Challenge. I knew straight away I would be using Ocean Friends for this project. Then how to meet the new part of the challenge? What better way than to incorporate NEW InColours...and Fresh Freesia, because its so trendy still and I just love it so much!

I have created a fresh look to Ocean Friends by stamping in Cloud Cover and Fresh Freesia.

Here's the challenge details

Lets take a closer look.

This bundle has bold & detailed images for the sea creatures, usually you would use both but I really wanted a subtle look to this card so I opted for the bold image only.

I stamped around the base layer in an alternating pattern, Freesia for the crab and Cloud for the lobster. The bundle also includes some really lovely dies - coral, sea grass and tiny starfish. I die cut in the same colours and added Secret Sea and Blackberry Bliss.

The middle layer is embossed with Soft Waves, and the top layer follows the same pattern as the base layer.

To remake this card you will need:

Base: 1/2 sheet A4 Thick White Cardstock
Base Stamped Layer: 10 x 14.5cm (4"x5-3/4")
