Take the Basic Black card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Add the Basic White piece to the inside.

Layer up the DSP onto the coordinating card stock pieces and adhere to the card front - making sure that you have even borders all the way around. 

On scraps of Basic White stamp three heads, three bodies, two bows and a bell image in memento black ink and cut out using the Woolly Friends Builder Punch. Using the solid in fill stamps, colour one bow in Azure Afternoon, the other in Poppy Parade and add the bell in Daffodil Delight. 

Colour in the heads and the sheep legs using your Smoky Slate Stampin Blends.

On another scrap of Basic White stamp the sentiment, trim and cut banner tales ( or use the Three Banner Punch).

Use a small Dimensional to stick each head to a body, then add the bows and bells with a little liquid glue. pop dimensionals onto the back of the sheep and sentiment piece - placing this in the centre of the Daffodil Delight panel. Arrange the three sheep on seperate panels, raising the centre one a little higher to account for the banner.

A Round Of Hellos Fragrant Flowers Thank You Card. Monochromatic Insta Hop - Bubble Bath 2026

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Last Friday I took part in the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop and we were showcasing Bubble Bath. I love this colour - it's soft, delicate & very pretty.

Measurements

Bubble Bath Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

scraps

Early Espresso Card Stock

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Mixed Up Patterns DSP

1pc - 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"

-----------------------------------------------

Take the Bubble Bath card stock and fold along the score line, adding the Basic White piece to the inside.

Ink up the floral image in Early Espresso ink and stamp onto the Mixed Up Patterns DSP. I wanted a full strip to the left, but the image isn't long enough - so I stamped in the centre, then stamped again above and below to create a full strip! 

Once the ink has dried, take the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin Blends and colour in the image. Wait until it's dried and then go over a second time - this gives a depth and different shade of Bubble Bath to the project.

Layer this to the Early Espresso card stock and then add to the card front.

Ink up the Hello circle in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Bubble Bath then cut out with the 2 3/8" circle punch. Stamp the Thank you in Early Espresso ink on another scrap of Bubble Bath, but this time cut it using the 2" circle punch.

Add dimensionals to both circles, place the Thank you Circle on top of the Hello circle and then add it to the card front - positioning it central, but off to the right.

I really enjoyed creating this card, and I think I may try this layout in some different colourways!

Petals of Beauty Can't Thank You Enough Card. Project Share Project Blog Hop. February 2026

 Good Morning Everyone,

Today I'm taking in The Project Share Project Blog Hop and this month we have a colour challenge - but we weren't given a set of colours to use - we just had to use 1 Regal, 1 Neutral and 1 Bright colour for our Colour Collection. 

I chose Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie & Melon Mambo - not a most obvious choice or combination but with the Petals of Beauty Stamp Set - I thought they worked really well together.

What do you think?

Measurements

Pecan Pie Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored a 5 7/8"

1pc - 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 3 1/2" x 2 1/4"

scraps

---------------------------------

Take the largest piece of Pecan Pie and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the larger Basic White pieces to the inside.

On the remaining larger piece of Basic White stamp the flowers and leaves all over. The great thing about this set is it is two-step stamping. This means you use two stamps to create a full image - stamping them directly on top of each other. I also 2nd generation stamping ( inking up your stamp, stamping onto scrap and then onto your project - this gives you a lighter tone and helps increase depth of colour).

I used Melon Mambo for the flowers and Shaded Spruce for the leaves - stamping normally with the detailed image and 2nd generation stamping for the solid infill stamp.

Also stamp three flowers around the bottom left of the smaller Basic White piece and then one flower and one leaf onto scrap.

Add the larger stamped panel onto the card front.

Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie onto the top right of the smaller panel, layer this with the remaining Pecan Pie piece and then place this into the centre of the card front.

Cut out the leaf and flower and arrange on the card front, covering over some of the stamped flowers. I used dimensionals to give lift and depth - and to finish off I popped a rhinestone into the centre of the flower.

I really enjoyed making today's card - the colour challenges was a really good way to mix some colours! I loved how my card turned out.

Please continue through the hop, Verity is up next so please go on over and say Hi
