Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for September 2025.

This month we have a fun Tic-Tac_Toe Challenge. I really enjoy these challenges. After much deliberation I have chosen Orange, Layers and Torn to create. I have been desperately wanting to use my Timid Tiger Two Toned card stock and this is the perfect opportunity.

I started with a Timid Tiger card base. I cut a pice of the floral Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper  in a mat layer. I then cut a piece of the Timid Tiger Two Toned card stock into a piece slightly shorter than the mat layer but the same width and proceeded to tear it into four pieces to glue on top of the floral DSP to create the ton element to my card. I glued this to the card front.

I die cut a Stitched Circle in Basic White card stock from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the glass, Orange segment and Strawberry in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the glass using Timid Tiger ink and a Blending Brush, masking off the top of the glass. The Strawberry and orange were coloured using the Stampin' Blends. I used Wink of Stella on all three elements before die cutting them. The orange segment was given a slit to adhere to the top of the glass. 

 I adhered the stitched circle to the card front using Dimensionals and arranged the elements on top before adhering them to the circle using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on Basic Black card stock. I sprinkled it with white Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment with scissors. I tied a length of white twine in a bow and adhered it to the back of the sentiment before adhering this to the top of the glass with Dimensionals. Three Timid Tiger Flat Pearls completed my card.

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Remember When

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for September 2025.

Below is an image where all the amazing crew come from. It is such a wonderfully creative group of friends who love to inspire.

We are continuing CASeing one of the crew members to celebrate five years of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. This month we are CASeing the lovely Bree Renwick from @craftsommnia. I love her projects so much.

I set out looking for a cute card to CASe as I planned to use the gorgeous Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper. It makes me nostalgic for my Beatrix Potter Books read during my childhood. I just couldn't go past Bree's sweet Otter card, see below. It Is adorable!!

I started with a Basic White card base and mat layer. I ran the mat layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. I then glued this to the card base.

I cut the two pieces of Designer Series Paper down glued them together in an offset position and glued to the card base. I then arranged the die cut pieces from the DSP and adhered them to the card front using Dimensionals' I cut he blooms from the DSP and glued to the top of the pots.

I have kept this card simple and have left the sentiment off. Perhaps it will be a baby card or a young child's card when the occasion arises. It came together so easily with the fabulous Storybook Moments DSP. If you haven't looked at this DSP yet, now is your chance. It is very sweet!
