Blog hopping with crafty collaborations

Hi all and welcome to the SHARE IT SUNDAY BLOG HOP.  You have probably come from Melva's fabulous blog. For those who are new, this hop invites demonstrators from around the world to share a current project and the hope is to inspire you to use some of your current collection of Stampin Up goodies to create too! 

I created this fun fold using some of the current SaleABration items: Dandy Designs DSP and the wonderful 2 step stamp set, Beautifully Happy. Both are classed as.level 2 in the catalogue, which means you qualify to have one of these for FREE when you order over $180 here in Australia. These products are also available world wide!  

Ive used the colour combo of Fresh Freesia, and Pear Pizzazz on this card. 

Don’t forget to jump through the list below to follow the other blogs in the hop and leave some love as you go.

Happy Stampin

Do you join challenges and if so which one?

Ink & inspiration - Jan 2023

Welcome to our blog hop!!

This was a colour challenge which is usually my favourite type of challenges but I struggled a little until I decided on this giant banner tag for my card! The cute Adorable Owl teamed up well with sunburst stamp and the cloud punch too. 

Below is the colour combo and the image that eventually brought me inspiration. The ocean feels are what I needed this week, going back to work after a nice break.

Please remember to leave a comment and hop along to the other team members and leave them some love too.

Thank you Dandy Designs

How cute is this little bowtie owl teamed up with lots of stripes!!  Thank you cards are always needed so another to add to my stash is always a good idea.  And I'm still leaning into the Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green combo hard, total love!!

Happy stamping,

Blue and green

The fresh combo of green and blue from the Dandy esigns DSP sure makes for a clean and crisp looking card.  Our anniversary isn't for a few months but I'm hoping this will come in handy for someone soon.  

What is your go-to colour combo for cards?  Did you know that these great papers are free in the current promo?  Grab them today when you place an order.

My faves….

Hi everyone, and welcome to our January, hop with a focus on our favourite saleabration items. 

My card uses two of the items available in the catalogue, because I just could not make a decision to as to which one was my favourite. The first item is the adorable owls stamps which are so easy to colour, and very cute to use. The dandy designs designer series paper also, from the salesbration catalogue, is full of fabulously coloured and patterned papers to use. So naturally I combined the two. 

I’ve used Fresh Freesia and Mango Melody cardstock and the framed florets stamp set to pull this card together. 

Please don’t forget to hop along to all our other lovely demonstrators in the hop and leave some comments for them. 

Thanks for joining me. Rachael XX
