Hello crafty friends! You are in for a colour treat today because our Positive Inkers Design Team have been busy creating cards based on our August Challenge - use 2023-2025 In Colours from Stampin' Up!
I'll post my Tues@7pm ET video once it's complete and downloaded. Catch the actual live on my Facebook page HERE
For my card, I chose the gorgeous combination of Moody Mauve & Pebbled Path!
I started my card layer by using a Blending Brush, one of the Foursquare Decorative Masks and Moody Mauve ink to create a subtle background. I love the creative possibilities with the masks - I feel artsy!

Happy Saturday and Happy Canada Day everyone! I'm excited for another Positive Inkers Design Team blog hop! "Foral' is our theme this month and you're going to see some amazing cards!
Here's my finished card!
Do you love watercolouring? Well, for me, it's been a while and I jumped in with both feet....erm....hands 😊
Stampin' Up! has the best watercolour paper ever! Fluid 100 paper works brilliantly with our inks and it's so easy to get amazing results. I used our Water Painters along with Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Balmy Blue ink refillers.
Once the inks dried I cut flowers & greenery using the Paper Florist and Cheerful Daisy dies. Both sets of dies give you loads of floral & greenery options!
A nice little additon is peeking out from under the flowers - it's a Basic White layer cut using Radiating Stitches dies. Do you love texture as much as me?!
Let's talk backgrounds! Beautiful detail from the Countryside Blossoms folder provides a subtle texture for the first layer I'm certain you'll want to add these dies to your shopping list!
I love this sentiment from Charming Sentiments! Perfect for birthday, wedding, retirement and so many other special occasions. It's one of seventeen stamps in the set!

Thank you for dropping by my blog today! Happy June! You are in for a treat! Our Positive Inkers Design Team are ready to WOW you with our Sketch Challenge blog hop using Stampin' Up! products of course!
Here's my finished card.....
Question for you - when you flipped through the pages of the catalogue or looked online, did you notice the Paper Florist dies? I did! And if you're like me, once you see them, these dies will be on your shopping list!
Soooo, I used the new Paper Florist dies to create this lovely card. Are you a subtles person? Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath & Soft Seafoam sure look pretty together. I bet you're imagining so many awesome colour combos!
Do you love a good challenge? Try out our sketch! I love sketches because you're free to interpret them and use your creativity!
Sweet details on the petals, greenery and the fringed piece - all from the Paper Florist dies!
Texture - love it! Have you seen the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder? For my card, I've used the debossed side of the paper for an understated look.
Oh...and let me ask you - how cute is the sentiment stamped on one of the patterns from the Bright & Beautiful DSP! Was that really a question 😄 Love You - such a sweet greeting from Timeless Arrangements!
Well, my friends, that's my take on the Sketch Challenge. Your thoughts please - feel free to leave a comment.
Thank you for stopping by today! Please continue on our hop:
Our Positive Inkers Design Team have been busy creating beautiful cards for this blog hop! We're using products from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue that's going live on May 2, 2023!
My card features 3 new products! Please read on....
How about some Pecan Pie! This new cardstock colour is a welcome new addition to the Neutrals Collection! It's warm, inviting, and calorie free!
I cut the card base at 4 1/4 x 11, and scored it at 5 1/2. (all inches)
That's the only measurement for this card - I know eh, wow!
My layer, also Pecan Pie, was cut using the largest off the Radiating Stitches dies. What wonderful texture - simple and elegant!
The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies set, which I was going to stamp in Pecan Pie, but then spotted my Copper Embossing Powder - and it adds a wee shine that is lovely!
I do the majority of my posts on Instagram - and several using the new Fresh as a Daisy Suite of products. You can check them out HERE, and be sure to follow me there for lots of cardmaking inspiration!
I used the Cheerful Daisy dies to first cut in Basic White, and then in the NEW Countryside Inn DSP (Designer Series Paper). The splash of colour brings life to the card!
I had to show you the inside of my card! Once again I used the largest of the Radiating Stitches dies to cut Basic White paper. And as a pretty little touch, I also cut another daisy using the dies (which layer by the way)!
