Project Share Project Blog Hop – July 2025 – Case a PSP Demo!

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop.

See the other projects by using the links below, or use the “Next” button at the bottom of this post!

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

Victoria Littlewood – Vickie Lou Designs

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

I couldn’t decide on a single project to case, there are so many beautiful creations to choose from!

The layout is from Vickie. A sketch is a great starting point when you need inspiration to get your crafty mojo going.

The postage elements are from Heather. These nested shapes work so well for this layout and are easy to layer with coloured cardstock.

The colour combo is from Jayne. Designer Series Paper is made with colours that go together so here I combined Granny Apple Green, with Pumpkin Pie and Real Red in the flowers.

Some extra texture has been added with the Glass and Garden embossing folder(s).

I wanted red embellishments, so I used Stampin’ Blend to colour some Antique Pearls!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Colour INKspiration Challenge using Inspiring Imperfections!

Hello Everyone!

My card today features the Inspiring Impressions stamp set, with colours from the Colour INKspiration challenge #190.

I created the background with a double embossing technique! The panel was heat embossed first, then with the Turtle Textures embossing folder.

The texture was enhanced with some Cajun Craze ink smooshing (is that how you spell it?) and blending brushes.

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

I added the vase and bowl die cuts and gold ribbon. The sentiment was tucked in behind the vase to balance the layout.

The original sample used Crumb Cake ink in the background , and Cajun Craze for the stamping!

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Card Ideas with the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks!

Hello Everyone!

Today’s card features the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks. I’ve had these a little while but hadn’t got round to using them until now.

I had a little help choosing my colour scheme… 😂

Colour combination inspiration can come from all sorts of places, fabrics, wallpapers, that kind of thing.

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

The images were die cut and positioned on the card base with die cuts from Perennial Postage.

The same dies were used to cut the sentiment and embellished with a Fresh Freesia cardstock banner and Starburst Sequins.

I used the inks differently for these samples and used Daffodil Delight card bases!

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’!
