Regency Park # 004 Mystery Challenge – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

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.

This month Tracy has challenged us with a ‘Mystery Challenge’. It’s good every now and then to be taken out of your comfort zone to make something different from your style.

Regency Park by Stampin’ Up!®

I decided to use products from the Regency Park Suite Collection for my card. The DSP I wanted to be very neutral so the stamping became the focal point.

How to make this card…

Cutting Measurements

PaperColourImperial/LetterMetric/A4
Card Base Basic White8½ x 5 ½”, score @ 4¼”14.9 x 21cm, score @ 10.5cm
Piece 1 Basic White3¾ x 3½”9.5 x 7cm
Piece 2 Basic White2 x 1½”5 x 4cm
Piece 3 Balmy Blue 4¼ x ½” 10.5 x 1cm
 Piece 4 Mango Melody 4¼ x ¼” 10.5 x 0.5cm
DSP4¼ x 1¼”10.5 x 3cm
  • Card Base –
    • Stamp the front of card base with the leaf cluster stamp from the Petal Park Stamp Set. This stamp has two sets of leaves that come in towards the center. I took care and only inked up half of the stamp (to the center) and stamped around the card base front using Granny Apple Green Ink Pad.
    • I used the dot-age stamp to fill in some of the holes around the leaves.
    • Using a Blending Brush and working in a circular motion lightly add Granny Apple Green Ink around the edges of the card base.
  • Piece 1
    • Stamp the out line flower cluster from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set in Balmy Blue all over the Basic White cardstock.
    • Using Blamy Blue ink and stamping off to get a lighter tone use the fill in Stamp for the flowers
  • Piece 2
    • Stamp sentiment in Night of navy Ink
  • Piece 3 & 4
    • Balmy Blue Strip and Mango Melody Strip run through Basic 3D Embossing Folders – I used the ‘Hash’ folder, this is a similar design to the DSP I used.
  • Putting the card together
    • Adhere the DSP to underneath side of the Piece 1, on the left
    • Glue these two pieces (P 1 & DSP) to the card base.
    • Using multi-purpose glue adhere Pieces 3 & 4 across the width of the card towards the bottom of the already attached pieces (see my card for position)
    • Add dimensionals to Piece 2 and adhere to your card over the strips (3 &4)
    • Tie a large bow with white bakers twine, add a glue dot and position the bow under the bottom left corner of the sentiment.

Hand-Penned Petals Fun Fold

Today on my ‘Live’ I created this great Fun Fold, this is another interesting find on Instagram that I just had to try. I have used the Hand-Penned Petal Stamps and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies. The Designer Series Paper used for this card is from the Dainty Flowers 12 x12″ found in the current Sale-A-Bration. When you spend $90 or $180 you can earn a product for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. Links to Catalogues and my Online Store can be found towards the end of my post.

The sentiment was die cut using the Amazing Thanks Dies

I am now following a Blog called Pinkfresh Studio and this is from a post back in last November. They have called it Fun Fold Birthday Inspiration Card with a Pop-Up Twist. It is great to be inspired by so many wonderful card makers.

Below I have added the measurements I used in both Metric/A4 and Imperial/ Letter (this is a smaller size card to Australia A4)

By the Bay

Today’s card I used the By the Bay Suite Collection in the 2023 Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®. The By the Bay 6 x 6″ DSP is the hero of this suite, the designs are stunning.

How to create this card…

The Sea Grasses were cut from DSP using two of the dies and the shells I cut from Basic White cardstock and coloured with Blends – Colypso Coral & Petal Pink. The shells were then lightly curved using a Bone Folder.

The sentiment was stamped in Night Of Navy Ink onto the sentiment strip.

Three of the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls attached to card.

A strip of the DSP was added to the side edge of the card

Harvest Meadow

You know when you go to bed at night and you try to clear your mind of everything that has happened during the day…Do you find that’s when the best ideas happen? Then you have to hold onto them until the morning so you can make it reality. Well that’s what happened to me the other night.

Harvest Meadow Suite is probably the one suite that I have really enjoyed playing with from the Stampin’ Up! ® 2021 Jul- Dec Mini Catalogue. I love the silhouette dies- Harvest Dies and the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I love the colours and how beautifully they work together.

Harvest Meadow Suite By Stampin' Up!®2021 July December mini Catalogue

Here I have tried to create a them of ‘Harvest – Country life’… I grew up in the southern region of NSW called the Riverina- MIA (Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area) in a little town called Leeton. This is a rice & fruit growing area and relies heavily on Irrigation. So the different layers in my card is the fields, distant hills and sun setting over the rice.

I love how this card has come together just like I imagined.

Daisy Garden – International Highlights Winners Hop

Hi and welcome today to my Blog.

To all you lovely people out there that Voted for me a ‘BIG….. THANK YOU’. Because of you and your Votes, today I am taking part in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Winners Hop.

Daisy Garden

Daisy Garden by Stampin’ Up! ® is a beautiful large image of daisies…it can be used as a back ground or as a focal point on your card. There is so much detail to this stamp but is very easy to colour using Stanpin’ Blends, Watercolour Pencils or any other colouring technique.

Stampin' Up! Daisy Garden coloured with a range of Stampin' Blends

For this card I used the Stampin’ Blends to colour my image, I love colouring with my Blends because of how well they blend and how simple they are to use. The colours I used are – Old Olive Dark & Light, Balmy Blue Dark & Light, Misty Moonlight Light, Daffodil Delight Light, Mango Melody Dark(Deleated), Bronze.

Tips when using Stampin’ Blends

  • Use good quality smooth cardstock and the Basic White cardstock is my choice.
  • Only use water base inks to stamp your image – Memento Tuxedo Black is perfect.
  • Start with the light colour & then add your shading in the dark. After adding your dark colour go over it again with the light shade to blend the 2 colours. My daisies were coloured with the Light Balmy Blue, shading added with the dark Balmy Blue to about half the length of the petal. Misty Moonlight Light was added at the base of the petal then Light Balmy Blue added over the top of all colours to blend them together.
  • Always work in small areas at a time. The ink will blend better when the ink is still wet and dries very quickly. I worked on one flower head at a time.
