Crafty Challenge January 2026 – Dice Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Tonight I’m bringing you the card I shared over on Instagram for this month’s Crafty Challenge….

You can hop through all the projects from my post @stampinwithinkybutterfly

This month is a dice challenge!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used the Love and Strength stamp set to make my card today.

A section of the white panel, (3 x 4¾), was masked off with a 1 inch strip of scrap cardstock. Black ink was added lightly using a blending brush.

A second 1½ inch strip was added to the same place, more ink was applied to create the striped effect.

The flower was stamped and masked with a circle die cut and added ink around the edge. This was then die cut and added the the card with dimensionals.

I added the sentiment, a twine bow and Antique Pearls.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Inspire Create Challenge #208 – Sketch Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

For Challenge #208 we are all making projects using a sketch challenge!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I have used the Florals in Bloom designer series paper to make the background.

To make the panels I started by cutting a 5⅝ strip. From this I cut away strips at ¾ inch, ¼ inch and 2⅛ inches.

The 2⅛ inch piece was cut at both ends at 1½ inches.

Pieces were added to Pretty in Pink two tone cardstock. I added some twine and adhered this to a Strawberry Slush card base.

Birds were stamped in Strawberry Slush ink and “coloured” with Wink of Stella.

Finally, I added the fussy cut sentiment and flat pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

One Sheet Wonder with Impressions Abloom!

Hello Everyone!

Today I am making some gorgeous cards with the Impressions Abloom stamp set! This set is Last Chance – get it while you can!

The stamps have been used to create a half sheet of custom Designer Series Paper which was cut down to create the various panels.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The first two layouts used familiar dimensions, 4 by 5-¾ inches (full panel) and 3 by 4-¾ inches (mini panel) respectively.

For these layouts, a 3-¾ by 6 inch panel was cut at an angle, (I lined it up at 1 inch and 2 inch). The same cut was made at the opposite end of the cardstock.

The sections were adhered to Pretty Peacock two tone cardstock leaving space to cut between them.

There were smaller pieces left over which were used for the cards below.

One was cut into 1 inch squares and added to Pretty Peacock and White Willow squares cut from Stylish Shapes die.

The other is a bonus card not featured in the video. The strip was layered with Pretty Peacock two tone cardstock and added across the width of the card base.

The original set of cards used Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue and Pool Party, the Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist!

The sentiments are from the Simply Said stamp set. Cards were embellished with Basic Beige ribbon and Antique Pearls.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

One Layer Card (almost) with Mixed Florals!

Hello Everyone!

Today I am making some gorgeous cards with the Mixed Florals stamp set! This set is Last Chance – get it while you can!

I chose to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The outline image was stamped in Memento Ink.

Test marker colours on some scrap cardstock first. I would recommend Basic White instead of White Willow to get good blended results!

Foliage: Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist

Petals: Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia

Small flowers : Summer Splash and Colour Lifter

The sentiment is from the Simply Said set, this is a great staple to have.

This was layered with Summer Splash cardstock cut using Stylish Shapes, another must have set, in my humble opinion!

Customising the Gallery Blooms Die Cuts!

Hello Everyone!

Today I am showing how I was able to create a custom sized frame for my project! It was so easy to do, and it made a real difference to the card layout.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

For the background I used the Damask Designs embossing folder with Basic Beige Cardstock.

Florals were stamped in Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover, with Pecan Pie foliage.

The frame was cut from Misty Moonlight cardstock. I used a score tool to mark mitred corners and cut away one side. This was repositioned and glued into place.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
