Thank you for joining me today for the All Star Design Team Video Class Bundle Blog Hop for August 2025. At the start of each month, each of us creates another project using the featured suite of products to give you even more inspiration. Here is my additional Floral Impressions Suite project.

When I'm choosing flowers to buy, or to create out of paper, I usually gravitate to pinks and purples and there are several sheets of the DSP that would fill that need. However, today I chose to be different! We have been nurturing several sunflowers in the garden and a couple of them are already rewarding us with cheery blooms. Hopefully the rest will follow suit. So for my cards today, I opted to use the sunflower/daisy print for a change from my usual colour scheme.

I have created a fun-fold card utilising the fabulous oval dies to create a decorative flap. The DSP looked equally good on a backdrop of Garden Green or Early Espresso, so I made a version in each colour.

To mimic the flowers on the DSP I used the flower dies to cut a trio of flowers in Crushed Curry, Petal Pink and Very Vanilla (which I don't normally mix with Basic White!). Simply cutting the flowers using the dies adds some detail but I also curled the petals and added some ink blending to the edges and/or the centre of the flowers to add even more texture. Adding Crushed Curry ink to the centre of the Very Vanilla flower gives the illusion of a very pale yellow daisy.

To break up the white space of the background, I opted to add some ink splatters from a marker pen in the same colour as I'd stamped the sentiment. Instead of gems I added some of the teeny tiny die cut flowers to finish off the cards.

I am really pleased with the inside of the card. I used the strip of card cut away from the front panel to act as the hinge to make the ovals operate like a flap. The hinge is covered so that you cannot see it - the back portion is hidden beneath an oval which provides the place to write a message and the top portion is sandwiched between layers of card and DSP.

This suite is perfect whether you are in the mood for stamping or die cutting flowers or both! I am pleased with these cards inspired by my garden and I hope you feel inspired to create somrthing with this suite too. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing their creative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products. This month in the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop we are creating projects with a Christmas in July theme.

We had several prompts with colour combinations to choose from to inspire our creations. I chose this one with a wreath and the colour combination Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Summer Splash, Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling.

I was immediately drawn to the wreath in this picture and set to work to create a wreath for my card using the suggested colours. I'm thinking slightly out of the box with my wreath because I created it using the Sunshine Vibes set, which is distinctly summery! We are in the middle of a heat wave in the UK so whilst I am imagining winter walks as the setting for my card, the current weather has other ideas rendering the Sunshine Vibes set quite apt!

The square Sectret Sea card base is topped with a slightly smaller matting layer embossed with the Exposed Brick folder. These are topped with two layers of Cloud Cover card. To create the wreath, firstly as a guide, I drew lightly round a circle die on the smallest Cloud Cover layer. Then I used the stamp that would ordinarily be used for the rays of sunshine to create a wreath shape using Sectret Sea ink.  To emphasise the centre I added some Summer Splash die cut leaves, again from the Sunshine Vibes bundle. The leaf srpays are quite long, but I added Adhesive sheet before they were die cut and was able to encourage them to take on a more circular position around my pencil mark.

The gorgeous dove die cut and the sentiment come from a bundle called Peace on Earth which Demonstrators we able to purchase early for a special event. (It will become available to buy later in the year!) The dove's wings are curled and have a swish of Wink of Stella. The sentiment is chopped up into three sections to fit snuggly around the wreath, which is further decorated with Strawberry Slush hearts, Darling Duckling stars plus some InColor Flat Pearls and a Baker's Twine bow.

I have followed the prompt quite closely managing to combine two sets that are not a natural pairing and used all the suggested colours to create my card. I am quite pleased with the results! Please continue along the hop to see what the others have created too...enjoy the projects! We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.

Florals in Bloom Suite - All Star Video Class Bundle Blog Hop July 2025

 

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am delighted to be part of the All Star Video Class Group. Each month we create a Video Class Bundle with exclusive tutorials complete with photos, video directions and a supply list that includes both Metric and Imperial measurements, and we also hop together each month sharing a new project using the same suite.

This month we are using the Florals in Bloom Suite from the annual catalogue. It is a bumper suite with two stamp/die bundles, Designer Series Paper and InColor flat pearl embellishments.

Here is a sneak peek of the projects included in this month's bundle of video tutorials.

This is a close up of the sneak peek of my project in the tutorial bundle.

To enjoy the video class bundle of tutorials you have several options:

• shop with me -  if you order from my online store you will receive that month's bundle for free
• purchase - buy the bundle for £11.50 
• Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for free

During July 2025 a subscription option is also available - you purchase five months you receive the sixth month (December 2025) for free.

Every month for the next six months we will be using current Stampin' Up! Suites to create a Video Class Bundle, each containing 12 exclusive video classes. We will be using a mix of Online Exclusive suites and suites from the printed catalogues. Next month we are using the Floral Impressions Suite.

Thank you for joining me today for the All Star Design Team Video Class Bundle Blog Hop for July 2025. At the start of each month, each of creates another project using the featured suite of products to give you even more inspiration. Here is my additional Florals in Bloom Suite project.

For this card I have used a similar colour palette to the one I used for my video because I love flowers in these colours. You can create a bouquet to suit every taste and they will all be beautiful. The possibilities are endless.

The flowers are created using two-step stamping. I used a dark shade for the outline image and a lighter one for the fill in solid colour. In preparation for my projects, I stamped and die cut a whole bunch of flowers to allow for experimentation and now I have a small stash of flowers ready to create with!

I hope you feel inspired to create a pretty bouquet too. Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you would like more ideas using this suite you can purchase the tutorial bundle (along with previous tutorials) HERE.
