Crafty Challenge October 2025 – 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

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

I used the warm tones to create a sponged background.

A staple in my craft room is the Stylish Shapes dies set. I cut coordinating coloured squares which were added with dimensionals.

The panel was added to a Cloud Cover cardstock layer and then to a Secret Sea card base.

A simple birthday sentiment was stamped with Secret Sea ink. Some Cloud Cover flat pearls.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Dimensional Topper using the Flowers of Beauty Dies

Hello Everyone,

Sometimes it’s the little extras in a stamp or die set that can become the feature element of a card!

The Flowers of Beauty dies not only coordinate with the stamp set, but has these cute tiny flowers too.

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

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to create frame around the sentiment.

Each little flower was shaped and added with some multi-purpose glue. Rhinestones were added for lots of sparkle!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #134 – Case the Designer!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another Inspire.Create.Challenge!

Challenge #134 is to Case the Designer…. Me!

This was my take on the “floating DSP” technique.

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below… We’d love to see your makes!

I have recreated my card with coloured cardstock rather than designer series paper. All these colours are in the Brights colour family.

With all the colour in the circle element, I kept the rest of the card in monochromatic black and white.

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

The sentiment was taken from the Something Fancy stamp set and cut with coordinating dies.

This sample uses the Subtles colour family and is embellished with iridescent pastel gems.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
