An adorable floral note card made using the Woolly Friends and Fragrant Layers stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

Friendly Sheep Card

The card I am sharing today was made using a panel left over from my team training swaps (blog post 29th November 2025) with the addition of an adorable friendly sheep.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the friendly sheep card using the following supplies:

Strawberry Slush card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Timid Tiger card – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

I began by tearing a piece of printer paper from side to side. I placed the torn edges about 1¼” inches apart down the length of the smaller panel of Basic White card and held them in position with a bit of Washi Tape.

Using Blending Brushes I added Daffodil Delight ink, then Timid Tiger ink and finally Strawberry Slush ink before removing the mask.  I stamped the large image from the Fragrant Layers stamp set with Secret Sea ink onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card over the inked panel.

From the square of Basic White card, I cut a stitched square using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The grass and trio of tulips were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink and the flowers coloured with Strawberry Slush ink. I adhered the decorated square to the Timid Tiger square and mounted the whole piece onto the card base on Dimensionals.

Monochromatic Shells Card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll giving us masking, standard vertical, pearl, for you and black and white. I have made my monochromatic shell card using the Shell Collecting stamp set.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the pop out monochromatic shell card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Scrap Basic White panel bigger than 5¼” by 3½”

 

I cut a circle, centrally in the upper half of the larger, scrap piece of Basic White card. I placed the negative piece over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and secured it in place with a little washi tape. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the exposed circle. The masking panel was then removed.

I stamped the largest shell, overlapping the inked circle with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The same image was then stamped onto a Post It Note and fussy cut out. I then used it to mask off the stamped shell.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the colourful leaves card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

 

On one of the Basic White panels, I masked off a strip, about 1¾” wide using Masking Paper.

Using Blending Brushes, I added patches of ink between the strips of Masking Paper. First Daffodil Delight, then Timid Tiger and finally Poppy Parade. The strips of Masking Paper were then removed.

The large outline leaf image was then stamped over the inked strip using Blackberry Bliss ink. I hindsight I wish I had used Black ink for a more defined look.

The sentiment was then stamped in Poppy Parade and the whole panel was then adhered to the Blackberry Bliss layer.

Using Dimensionals I mounted the entire panel to the Poppy Parade card front. A trio of Iridescent Gold Foil Gems completed the card.
