Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are using the new 2026 – 2028 In Colors. I have made my card using the lovely Artisan Sketched Garden dsp to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the artisan vases card using the following supplies:

Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5¼” by 4”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Basic Black – 4⅛” by ¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾ “- for the inside
Scrap Artisan Sketched Garden dsp

I ran the strip of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and glued it to the Hydrangea Hue card front. I added the strip of Basic Black card above it.

A pretty floral themed card made using the Artisan Sketched Garden dsp used and the Everyday Arches Dies from Stampin' Up!

I die cut an arch from the 5¼” by 4” panel of Basic White card using the Everyday Arches dies. And mounted it onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Embossed Sketch Challenge Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on April 24, 2026May 5, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by a sketch to create a card. I have used embossing folders as the focus of my design today.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the Embossed Sketch card using the following supplies:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅝” by 3⅞
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Secret Sea – 4⅝” by ⅞” x 3
Berry Burst – 4½” by ¾”
Pool Party – 4½” by ¾”
Fresh Freesia – 4½” by ¾”
Basic White – 2¼” by 2¼”

I began by embossing the 3 strips of coloured card – The Berry Burst strip was embossed with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder, The Pool Party strip with the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder and the Fresh Freesia strip with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder, at an angle.

Each embossed strip was then glued to the strips of Secret Sea card. These were mounted onto one of the Basic White layer with Dimensionals.

I added the larger layer of Secret Sea to the back of the panel and wrapped the whole panel with Black Baker’s Twine. The panel was then adhered to the Pool Party card front.

The sentiment, from the Balloon Festoon stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card with Secret Sea ink.

The sentiment was then punched out using a 2” Circle Punch before being mounted onto the card front.

A Baker’s Twine bow and a trio of Basic Rhinestones finished the card.

I created the quilted painted illusions card using the following supplies:
