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
