Nature’s Walk – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on April 4, 2026March 30, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a Distressing Technique Challenge, hosted by Monique. For my project, I’m featuring the beautiful Nature’s Walk Suite from the January–April Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®. This collection is perfect for adding texture and vintage charm, making it ideal for experimenting with distressing techniques.

Nature’s Walk

For this month’s Distressing Technique Challenge, I wanted to focus on that aged, natural look that works so beautifully with the Nature’s Walk Suite.

Distressing is a simple way to give your cards a vintage, weathered feel, adding texture and depth without needing lots of extra supplies.

I’ve kept the distressing on this card nice and simple. I added distressed edges to the mat layer, used ink blending on the card base and front, and finished with a few ink splatters to create a soft aged look.

The Nature’s Walk Suite also includes some beautiful dies, which I’ve used on the card front to add extra texture. By lightly blending ink over the die-cut areas, it really helps highlight those details and bring the texture to life.

✂️ Techniques I Used

To create this card, I used a few simple techniques to build up that soft, rustic style:

• Distressed Edges
Lightly roughing up the edges removes that clean, sharp finish and gives a more natural, worn look.

• Ink Blending
Blending ink around the edges adds depth and helps each layer stand out while still keeping everything soft and cohesive.

• Splattering
A few ink splatters add to the aged effect, creating those little marks that make the card feel more relaxed and organic.

Simply Beautiful- Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on February 4, 2026February 3, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Red Challenge’, chosen by Sharni.

The challenge is simple but effective — create a card using shades of red. You may also include neutral colours such as black, white, gold or silver, but no other colours are allowed.

It’s always fun to see how different everyone’s projects can look while working within the same colour restrictions, and red is such a strong, bold choice for card making!

Simply Beautiful

The Simply Beautiful Bundle is part of the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection, and the Simply Beautiful flowers, with their large open petals, are perfect for colouring. The technique I’m using for today’s card is watercolouring, which really allows the details of the flowers to shine.

How I watercolour!

I love to play with inks, and watercolouring is so much fun. For this card, I stamped my image onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper using StazOn Ink. StazOn is a permanent ink and won’t bleed when it comes into contact with water.

Working with one or two petals at a time, I first coloured each petal with water, then added small amounts of ink to the inner portion of the petal. The ink naturally wicks out, following the flow of the water and becoming lighter towards the edges of the petal.

Once I had worked my way around the flower, I went back and added more water and ink to areas I wanted darker, gradually building up the colour. Don’t try to colour the entire flower all at once — it’s much easier to achieve depth by working petal by petal and allowing it to dry slightly between layers.

It’s perfectly okay to leave some white or lighter areas, as this adds movement and brings life to your flower.

The leaves were stamped onto Vellum using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder from the Basics WOW Embossing Powders

To add texture to the Basic Black Cardstock behind the flower, I used the stunning Damask Designs Embossing Folder.

Gears & Textures- Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Published on January 4, 2026January 4, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who have come together to share our creative ideas with you. We’re so happy you could join us and hope you feel inspired to create something of your own.

Each month, we’ll be showcasing a variety of projects and ideas based on different products, themes, and creative challenges. We hope you enjoy hopping along and gathering plenty of inspiration along the way.

The first challenge for this year’s Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a Monochromatic Colour Challenge, created by Julia Quinn. A monochromatic colour challenge means working with just one main colour. Creating interest by using different shades, tones, and textures of that colour. It’s a wonderful way to explore depth and detail while keeping a clean, cohesive look.

Gears & Textures

I chose brown as my main colour and worked with Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, and Crumb Cake in both inks and cardstocks to create a rich, steampunk-inspired design. Using a monochromatic palette allowed the variation in tones to add interest while keeping the overall look cohesive.

To enhance the layered, industrial feel of the card, I incorporated torn cardstock, allowing areas of stamping and die-cut elements to show through beneath the surface. The Gears & Textures Bundle from the Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!® was the perfect addition for this style, with its detailed imagery adding to the aged, mechanical look of the design. Additional depth and dimension were created through layered stamping, intricate die-cut elements, and multiple layers of embossing powder in gold, copper, and clear, bringing subtle shine and metallic highlights to the card.

This project was a wonderful way to explore the monochromatic colour challenge, showing how a single colour family can still create depth, texture, and visual interest.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my blog. I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects and feel inspired to get crafty!

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop- December

Published on December 4, 2025November 30, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop!
We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who love sharing our creative ideas with you. We’re so happy you’re joining us and hope to inspire you to create projects of your own. Each month, we feature different ideas based on products, themes, or creative challenges — so there’s always something new to enjoy!

Our challenge this month—set by me, Michele Jutrisa, is a ‘Christmas Challenge’ to create a Christmas Decoration for your tree. We hope this inspires you to get creative and craft a lovely decoration for your home or Christmas tree.

Traditions of Christmas

I have a tradition in my home where each year I add a new Christmas ornament to our tree. Last year it was a beautiful ornament my son and his girlfriend brought back from Amsterdam. Other years it has been something special I’ve found, been gifted, or created myself.
So for December, I decided our challenge simply had to be to create something special for your tree using Stampin’ Up!® products.

For my project, I chose to work with products from the Traditions of Christmas Suite, paired with the Large Gold Hoops and the All Seasons Velvet Specialty Paper.

How I Created..

Using the Christmas Greenery Dies, I cut pine branches from Gold Foil and Secret Sea cardstock, and holly leaves from the green velvet Specialty Paper. With the Traditional Label Dies, I cut three labels from Basic White cardstock and stacked them to create a thicker banner—the top piece stamped before layering.

To attach the bow and foliage to the hoop, I used two small circles cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. For one circle, I folded a bow shape (not knotted) and stapled it to the centre. For the second circle, I placed the hoop on top and added both large and mini dimensionals on either side to secure the hoop in place. Because of how I wanted the elements to sit, I positioned most of the circles on the inside of the hoop.
After removing the Dimensional backings, I adhered the bow circle on top, creating a strong base for layering all the decorative elements.

The opposite ends of the branches were then attached directly to the hoop using glue dots, allowing everything to sit neatly and securely.

The banner was attached to the hoop using dimensionals, and the holly leaves were secured with Mini Glue Dots. To finish them off, I added red Traditional Sparkling Sequins to the holly—one in each size—for the perfect festive touch.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – November

Published on November 4, 2025November 1, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

🎄 Challenge Theme: Christmas with a Twist!
Our challenge this month, created by Tracy Held, is to make a Christmas card using a non-Christmas product. It’s a fun way to stretch your creativity and see your supplies in a whole new light!

Beautiful Gallery

I ended up creating two cards for this hop as I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. So I decided to show both and let you work out which one you liked. Both cards use the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®

Card 1

For this card, I chose to take the Designer Series Paper right to the edge of the Basic Black card base for a bold, full-coverage look. The paper features dark images on a deep background, so to bring in more colour and contrast, I stamped over the trees using the ‘squiggle’ stamp from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Old Olive.

To finish the design, I created an Embellishment Cluster for the sentiment. The Holly leaves were die cut using the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder from All Seasons Velvet Specialty Paper. As the die only partially cuts, I fussy cut the connecting areas to separate the leaves. The bow, from the Christmas Greenery Dies, is also cut from the same velvet paper, adding soft texture and dimension. The sentiment comes from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

Card 2

This card is a much simpler design. I used a piece of Designer Series Paper that looks like a charcoal drawing of a street lined with trees and houses — it has such a lovely sketch-like quality.

To create the card, I simply stamped “Merry Christmas” from the Jolly Holly Stamps in Real Red directly onto the paper. The panel was then trimmed down and matted with Real Red cardstock for a crisp border. To finish, I wrapped a length of Real Red Shiny Ribbon around the card front and tied another small piece into a simple knot for added texture and detail.

Two very different cards made using paper from the same Designer Series Paper pack — each with its own charm! Which one is your favourite? I love both, but I’m especially drawn to the simplicity and elegance of Card 2.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop- October

Published on October 4, 2025October 4, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

We’re a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who have joined forces to share our passion for papercraft and inspire creativity in your craft space.

Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just starting out, we’re so glad you’re here—and we hope you’ll find fresh ideas and creative sparks to fuel your next project!

What to Expect

Each month, we explore a new creative theme or fun challenge, bringing you a variety of styles and techniques to try. There’s always something new to learn and love!

The challenge this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is by Maheswari by Stampin’ Up!®.

The challenge Guide: CASE One of these designs using the Mini Catalogue products and Share it in your version!

CASE-ing a Festive Card with the Traditions of Christmas Suite

The card I chose to CASE today is the bottom right design with the three teacups. I loved the clean and simple layout, so I decided to recreate it using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This is a simple card design where the Designer Series Paper (DSP) really does most of the work, with just a few die-cut images to add interest. The only stamping is the sentiment, created with the Traditional Labels stamp set and coordinating dies.

The card I decided to Case is the bottom right card with the 3 tea cups. I am using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This is a simple card, made using some Designer Series Paper and a few die cut images. The only stamping was the sentiment from the Traditional Labels with one of the coordinating dies.

Card Details

✨ Card Base & Background
The Cherry Cobbler card base is completely covered with the Cherry Cobbler Dot DSP, running edge to edge. To break it up, I layered a strip of the Poinsettia DSP down the center.

✨ Focal Point
For the poinsettia flower, you have two options: stamp and die cut, or simply cut the flower directly from the DSP. I chose the second option—it’s quick, easy, and still beautiful.

✨ Leaves & Holly
The leaves were die cut from the two-tone cardstock in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. By flipping the cardstock and cutting from both sides, I was able to create variation in the tones of the holly leaves, giving extra depth and dimension.

✨ Sentiment
The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder—a perfect match for the gold foiling that runs through the Poinsettia DSP. To finish, I die cut the sentiment with one of the coordinating Traditional Label Dies.

Card Measurements

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base Tent Fold	Cherry Cobbler	4¼ x 11”, score @ 5½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm
Card Front	DSP- Cherry Cobbler Dot	4¼ x 5½”	10.5 x 14.8cm
Centre Front	DSP- Poinsettia	3 x 5½”	7.5 x 14.8cm
Card Insert	Basic White	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Insert Strip	DSP- Cherry Cobbler Dot	4 x ¾”	10 x 2cm
Pine Leaf x 2 dark	Mossy Meadow Two-Tone Cardstock	3 x 5½”	7.5 x 14cm
Holly Leaves 2 x dark, 2 x Light	Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock	3 x 4”	7.5 x 10cm
Sentiment	Basic White	4¼ x 2”	10.5 x 5cm
Floral Bouquet	DSP	Die cut 2

I love how this design turned out—simple yet festive, and perfect for quick Christmas cardmaking. CASE-ing card layouts is a wonderful way to get inspired, and with beautiful paper like the Traditions of Christmas DSP, it doesn’t take much to create something elegant.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – September

Published on September 4, 2025September 4, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

We’re a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators who have joined forces to share our passion for papercraft and inspire creativity in your craft space.

Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just starting out, we’re so glad you’re here—and we hope you’ll find fresh ideas and creative sparks to fuel your next project!

What to Expect

Each month, we explore a new creative theme or fun challenge, bringing you a variety of styles and techniques to try. There’s always something new to learn and love!

The challenge this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is by Nancy and I am using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®.

The challenge Guide: Use products from your stash (maybe ones that are feeling a bit neglected) and create something new and on trend by combining it with a select few new items. The aim of this challenge is to show you can create exciting cards with old products

Nests of Winter

The Nest of Winter Designer Series Paper first appeared in last year’s Mini Catalogue, and I was so happy to see it carried over into the current Annual Catalogue. Since this challenge is all about using products that may be retired or sometimes forgotten, I thought it was the perfect excuse to pull it out of my stash and create a card with it.

The challenge was to combine something from your stash that maybe a little forgotten with something NEW! ✨ For my card, I paired the Nest of Winter DSP with the pine tree branches from the Christmas Greenery Bundle and a label from the Traditional Labels Bundle—both are part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection. To finish it off, I added a sentiment from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera, which tied everything together beautifully.

These new products will be available in the September–December Mini Catalogue, open for orders from 3rd September.

Other Products and Tips

Sentiment has an adhesive backing- remove the sticky by pouncing the Embossing Buddy on the sticky side. Then add mini dimensionals to adhere to your card front and give lift over the branches.
Bird was fussy cut from the DSP and added with dimensionals.
To give some some bling to the finished card I added the clear & gold gems from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

Cutting Measurements

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base Tent Fold	Gray Granite	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score at 14.9cm

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop- May

Published on May 4, 2025May 3, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is using the New ‘2025-2027 In-Color Challenge’ by Cheryl Hurst. I have also chosen to use a new Online Exclusives suite called Floral Impressions Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. Both the 2025-2027 In-Colors and the Floral Impressions Suite Collection will be available to order from the 6th May… not long now until you can order.

Impressions Abloom

This Fun Fold Card is called ‘Tired Hexagon Pop Up Card, I saw this card one day flicking through my Facebook page. I researched the card and found a tutorial by Sam Calcott and just had to give it a go. I did adjust my measurements to suit the correct size for the C6 Envelopes.

It’s like a box of flowers you don’t need to water….

How to make this card…

The Card Base was created with Cloud Cover Cardstock and the inside panels embossed with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. Each layer has a piece of Window Sheet to attach the diecuts.

The Dies from the Impressions Abloom Bundle works really well for this card. The flowers were all die cut in Basic White cardstock and was then coloured with Darling Duckling, Srawberry Slush and Timid Tiger Ink Pads with a blending brush.

The Flower Centers and leaves were all die cut from Secret Sea Cardstock….TIP: be very gentle separating the dies and Cardstock. The Leaf dies leave fine cut lines in the leaves which can easily ripe, if not careful.

The sentiment is also from a new Stamp Set – The Right Words, this set are pairings of sentiments for the front of cards as well as the card inserts.
