Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. If you found your way here from Tracy's blog, wasn't her project wonderful? Keep hopping for even more inspiring projects!

My project features the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set and die bundle from the new catalog which I paired with the Perennial Lavender designer series paper (DSP). Don't you love a mash up, using different products together? I do!

Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Bundle #165229

Perennial Lavender DSP #162593

I stamped the turtle image three times on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and colored them using several Stampin' Blends markers. Then using the coordinating die, cut them out and adhered them to the card front which is a piece of DSP from the Perennial Lavender DSP pack. 

Turtle-y Awesome Hooray Card

This card was very easy to assemble! I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Basic White cardstock. To continue the mash-up theme, I embellished with both Basic Rhinestones and the Shades of Green Hexagons.

Paper Craft Blog Hop - Masculine Card Along These Lines

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is products from Stampin' Up's new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and new Online Exclusives! Join the hop for inspiring projects showcasing the newest products.

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Sur Boerner's blog. What a fabulous project she shared!

My project features the Along These Lines stamp set from the new catalog, found on page 95, and a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. Both are very versatile and can be used to create cards for many occasions.

Along These Lines #165352

I was inspired by the card shown on the same page. I changed my card up a little by using a different image and different cardstock from the catalog sample card as I wanted to create a masculine card.

Along These Lines catalog sample, page 95

I used the tiger image from the stamp set to stamp on pieces of Blueberry Bushel and Misty Moonlight cardstock and the Smoky Slate cardstock base in the same color inks. 

This card was very easy to assemble! I added a few pearls from the Basic Gray and Smoky Slate pearls pack. I think this card would work well as a masculine card, perfect for a birthday or Father's Day card.

The greeting is from a new Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, More Messages. It offers many great sentiments and a variety of die shapes. Stamp and cut once and you have a a pile of ready-to-go sentiments. What a time-saver!
