Do you often think of ways of using patterned paper scraps in cards? You know, when you use your patterned paper in card making the first few cards are easy, but as you start getting little strips it gets harder. Don’t you agree?
And I don’t know about you, but I never feel like I just throw away the patterned paper scraps! I am always thinking, what if I can incorporate it in a card later on? and so I end up with lots of little scraps.
This is why, today I got very excited when I saw the challenge from Stefanie Pletscher, a fellow demonstrator in Canada. She gave us a sketch to use for the challenge, and you have been following me for a while, you know I heartfully believe in sketches to make your cardmaking process easier!
But I got even more excited, as the sketch is perfect for little scraps!! you can see it below!
Using Sketches for Cardmaking
One of the thinks I love about sketches is that these give a framework to play with, but you can always change something about them that will make them unique.
For instance as you are going to see in my card below, I changed the orientation, and while the original sketch is for portrait, I went for landscape.
I also changed the heart for another rectangle and I used it for my sentiment rather than adding a banner as the sketch calls for.
So little changes like this, will always help make your card unique.
To exemplify my point above, I have another sample for this sketch with small changes as well, you can check that one here. On this card I followed the same orientation as the sketch, however instead of a heart I used the cute turtle punch and moved it to the side rather than the center.
So always feel free to changes things up and your will see how your cards will look unique every single time, even though you are using the same sketch over and over.
Friendship Card using Patterned Paper Scraps!
For my version of this sketch, I used the Blackberry Beauty designer series paper, which is one of my favorite.
I love the fall colors and the patterns.
For the rectangles, I actually used the rectangular postage stamp punch and cut four of them from my scraps, and when I glue these pieces I used both sides of the patterned paper, that way, it looks like I have two patterns, however it is actually both sides of the same designer series paper.
The sentiment comes from Little Delights stamp set, which has fun fonts for various occasions sentiments, so this one is a great set to have in your collection for sure!
And to finish off my card I added a bow and some gilded gems to pop up the gold foil from the designer series paper
Below you can find the full supply list for all the products I used for this card. If you want to get any of these items just click on the pictures and these will take you to my online store. I really appreciate your support 🥰
Color Combination
As usual I used the colors from the designer series paper to get the color combination for my card. This is always the easiest way to come up with color combinations, and I am always surprised at how well this works.
Also this generally helps you get out of your comfort zone and let you play with color combinations that you might have never put together.
For instance the color combo from today, is probably a color combo that I would have never thought of. See below the colors I picked.
You can visit all the blogs participating on this blog hop. You will see how others have use this sketch in their creations, and see how others are using patterned paper scraps in their cards!
I know you will get lots of inspiration and I am sure you will get lots of ideas for your next crafting project!

Have you started working on your Christmas cards already? if you are still trying to get ideas or have not decided yet on what to do this year, then you are going to be in for a treat! As today we are going to share with you Christmas cards to help you get ready for the holidays!!
So hop with us and visit all participating blogs! I am sure you’ll get lots of ideas and inspiration to get you going!
Let’s get started!
Christmas Card
Since we are featuring Christmas projects for this blog hop, I decided to showcase the Tidings of Christmas Suite from the Annual Catalog. This suite has an elegant designer series paper (DSP) and a super cute bundle called Tidings & Trimmings.
The die set in this bundle has a great set of stars that can get die cut and use as a standalone piece or as the focal point in your cards! And this is exactly how I used it on my card today as you can see below.
Color Combination
As usual, I followed the DSP to pick a color combo. This has been by far one of the easiest ways to get color combinations for your cards.
So if you ever struggle with color ideas give this a try! Pick a DSP pack and then pay with the colors included in the pack!
By the way, if you have not heard yet, there is an awesome promotion during July where selected pattern papers are at 15% discount! And the Tidings of Christmas DSP is part of that promotion, so if you have thinking about this paper pack, this month is perfect to add it to your collection!
Think about it, if you get the Tidings of Christmas DSP, you could start making your Christmas cards right away! 😉 Ready to get your favorites DSP? then go to my store and put them in your cart.
Other packs included in this promotion are listed below:
You’re a Peach, Sweet Symmetry, Hand-Penned,
Tiding of Christmas, In Good Taste, Pansy Petals
Beauty of the Earth, Bloom where You’re Planted, In the Wild
Christmas Card Details & Other Information
Below you can see the inside of this card, as you can see this is an easy fancy fold.
For this fancy fold you just need to fold the card base in half and then the front in half again and you are done! super easy right?
Also as you can see for the inside of this card I stamped the star and the sentiment. The star is with the Soft Sea Foam, mainly because I wanted a light color under the sentiment. And the sentiment is in Early Expresso.
For the sentiment in the front I used Evening Green and then punched it with the dual oval.
One thing to note is that the detail star in the front can be glue down two ways:
Add adhesive sheets to the back of the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and then die cut – this will create a sticker so it is easy to glue it to the green star.
Or you can due cut the Cherry Cobbler star and then add it using the fine tip glue pen, which is what I did on this one
Both ways will work perfectly, so just pick the one that is easiest for you!
Also beneath the green star I added the elegant trim to pop a bit of gold in the card.
Below you will find the full supply list for you to see all the materials I used. As always you can click on the images to get to my online store where you can purchase any of the products I used.

Blog Hop Line-up!
As mentioned, today’s post is part of an amazing blog hop, so make sure you visit all participating blogs to get more inspiration for your next Christmas project!
The Supply List

Have you seen the brand NEW 2021-2023 In Color Family from Stampin’ Up? If not then make sure you hop with us along this blog hop as we share with you ideas and inspiration using these new colors.
All participating blogs will be showcasing projects using the colors from the 2021-2023 In Color family. These projects could use only one color, or multiple colors from the new color family or even combined with other color families. So I know you will get lots of color combinations, not to mention ideas for your next crafting project!
I am sure you will love them all! So let’s get started!
What is the In Color Family
Let’s start with a brief explanation of what these colors are and how these come into our crafting world.
Every year Stampin’ Up! releases 5 new colors that will remain active for 2 years. Typically these colors are trending and these are added to compliment our regular color families.
After the 2 year period, these colors are retired. So every year, with the release of a New Annual Catalog, we have an In Color family retiring with a new one being released!
You can imagine this is always a bitter sweet moment, as we say good bye to some of our favorite colors, but at the same time it is exciting as we get to see brand new colors.
For me personally, I was super sad to see Purple Posy go from the 2019-2021 In Color Family..
As you know I love purples! and having this shade of purple was amazing, as it was soft, light and it coordinated really well with the Highland Heather as well as the Gorgeous Grape. Not to mention it went really nice with Soft Sea Foam and other colors as well!
However, as you will see from the chart of the new In Color family, there is again a Purple shade!
And I am super excited to be honest, as Purple is not a color that tends to go into the In Color family that frequently.. Shocking right? I mean purple is the BEST color ever!! LOL .. A new shade of Purple should be included in every new In Color family that gets released. Right? 🤣🤣🤣
Believe me, I have made my suggestions to Stampin’ Up! over the years and I guess this time they heard me LOL.. 😁
So without further ado, meet the NEW 2021-2023 In Color Family!! You can see the chart below with all the new colors!
Introducing the 202-2023 In Color Family
Don’t you agree, that this year Stampin’ Up! did amazing? Seriously!
All colors are just perfect and I can see how well these will coordinate with our other families. Don’t you think?
The Polished Pink is a great shade of Pink, lighter than the Melon Mambo and goes really well with black and White! I’ve made several cards using this color combo and Oh my! it is just gorgeous! See these Birthday Cards here if you don’t believe me!
The Fresh Freesia is just beautiful! This shade of Purple goes well with the Blackberry Bliss as well as the Gorgeous Grape and the Highland Heather.
Our new Pale Papaya, has grown on me already. It is like a light orange that will go really well with our subtle color family. I have made so many cards with this color, that I cannot even believe it! As I am not a orange type of gal. ha!
And both of the new shades of green – Soft Succulent and the Evening Evergreen are just amazing!! We truly don’t have similar shades of green in our existing color families! So I know these will come really perfect!
Green is one of the colors that goes so well with lots of colors, as you can use them for greenery, foliage and the like and so you can add any flower in any color making it look so good.. So I am super excited to have two more shaded of green.
And I think the Evening Evergreen will be super handy for when we start making Christmas cards… This would be an awesome shade for the hollies, or pine trees. Mark my words, my friend! 😉
Color Coordination
One of the things that make Stampin’ Up! so especial is the fact that they color coordinate all their products! And this makes card making so much easier. Mainly, because you will not be wasting time trying to figure out it something works well with the project you have in mind.
For instance, you can just pick a color combo and then pull out all the supplies in those colors. Cardstock, ribbon, gems, designer series paper, ink, markers, etc. And then it is just matter of you playing with these items and make your cards.. Rather than seeing if that green ribbon goes with the green pattern paper that you have at home.. Only to find out that they didn’t when you put them together..
So below you can see exacltly, what I mean…
You can see how well the cardstock, the ribbon, the ink and the markers are all color coordinated. So when it is time to work in a paper crafting project, I know everything will color coordinate beautifully.
And you will see this on my card today!
Meet the Soft Succulent!
Because I wanted you to see how well the products color coordinate, I decided to go with only one of the In Colors for my card and just mix it with the basic white. So my card is “Semi-Monochromatic”, ha!
The card base is in Soft Succulent, but to add a bit of interest, I added two layers. This was because I wanted to use texture to my card, so I dry embossed a piece of Soft Succulent, using the new Bark embossing folder. And then matted this piece with Basic White, but this mat was only 1/8″ larger to only see a teeny tiny border. It made this layer pop up even more.. Don’t you think?
The gingham pattern, came from the Pansy Petals designer series paper (DSP). This paper pack actually features all the new colors in the In Color Family, so you might want to check it out! (below in the supply list you can see it)
The scallop rectangle is coming from the die set from the Color & Contour bundle. This is a must have my friend. Not only the die set is perfect for decorative labels, but the stamp set is just perfect and easy to use with multiple coloring techniques. Not to mention that sentiments in this set are amazing. You can see a card sample using this bundle here, which by the way features the Pale Papaya from the new 2021-2023 In Color Family.
I used the Simply Succulent Bundle, as I knew it would go perfect with the color I wanted to showcased. I embossed the succulent image with white embossing powder on Soft Succulent cardstock. And to finish off this piece I used the Soft Succulent stampin’ blend to add some highlights to the leaves.
The sentiment came from the same stamp set and I die cutting using the die set from the bundle. And as you can see I used the Soft Succulent ink pad to stamp this image.
And to finish off this card, I added the bow in the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon!
I am telling you, everything coordinated perfectly! And this is why I love using Stampin’ Up! Products!

Dropping a quick post to share a cute card I made today using the Kangaroo & Company bundle from Stampin’ Up!
Not sure if you know this from me, but ever since the beginning of the quarantine, I started waking up earlier to spend some time in my craft room before the kiddos wake up.
I did this mainly to maintain myself calm, positive and sane..
I definitely believe that crafting has been the one thing that helped me remain positive, despite all going on..
Anyhow… The kiddos went back to school and I am still crafting in the morning after they go to school and before I go to work.. So I have about 45min – 1h for crafting time.. which I love..
And today I happened to find an online challenge that shared a sketch, and I just couldn’t resist it!!
I had to pull my supplies and work on that sketch.. specially because this was a brand new sketch to me! Plus I have been working on a few Kangaroos during the weekend and had a few of these left over. So I new this sketch would work perfect to use one of these kangaroos!
The Sketch
Here is the sketch shared in The Paper Players Challenge – PP534 by my fellow Stampin’ Up demonstrator Anne Marie Hile, who makes the most adorable cards. And looking at the sketch, I can see why..
Her sketch is just fun to play with and it offers lots of options for you to change!! I am sure I will be using this one again and again!
Friendship Handmade Card
As I mentioned at the beginning I wanted to showcase the Kangaroo & Company Bundle on this card, since I have been playing with this cute set during the weekend.
So here is my card!
Isn’t this kangaroo adorable? I just love her..
A few details here.. The Kangaroo was stamped in Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the memento ink pad, and I added a few highlights to the body, to give her dimension.
The Kangaroo & Company Bundle comes with the stamp set and the die set, so cutting the kangaroo is very easy.
Another thing to point out is that the Kangaroo die makes a cut in her belly, so you can add cute elements to her belly; like I did with the envelope.
The stamp set has a joey (baby kangaroo) that you can also add in her pouch! I think that would look really nice on the card as well.
But in my case I really wanted to have a just because card, so this is why I added an envelope instead.
The designer series paper I used is the one from the Snail Mail suite. Also I cut the rectangles in this card using the rectangles dies. This made this card so easy to put together.
Another tip to note is that I embossed the basic white cardstock, which added texture to the card. and to finish off I added the hearts embellishments as well as a little bow using the twine from the snail mail twine pack.
Color Combination
Since I wanted to use the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper (DSP), I decided to use the following color combination.
As you will see the color combo came from the sheet/patterns I want to use for my card as well as the kangaroo.
Measurements
Bellow you will find listed the measurements I used for this card. However, you can modify it to get other looks as well.
Card base: Real Red 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Mat – Blushing Bride 4″ x 5 1/4″
Card Front – Basic White 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
DSP (pink pattern) – 1″ x 3 7/8″
Banner – Real Red 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Scraps to die cut: Blushing Bride, Basic White, and Cinnamon Cider cardstock, DSP heart pattern
Final Thoughts
Hopefully you have enjoyed the card I shared today. Even better, hope you got inspired to create a card as well..
If you ever struggle with card ideas, try using challenges to help you get creative. It always helps me a lot!!
One of the things I enjoy doing is using the same sketch and see how I can change it over and over again. This always helps me get even more card ideas.. some times I use the same suite but change patterns or change the elements. For instance you can use DSP where you use Cardstock and vice versa.
You can check this post where I shared 11 cards using one sketch as inspiration. Or you can read this post where I shared how to make two cards using the same elements but changing the DSP and the Cardstock.
So give it a try.. Would love to hear how you like using sketches!

Ever wanted to come up with handmade cards for your friends, but then felt frustrated as you couldn’t come up with a card to make? Well my friend, today I will share with you how you can overcome this by following a challenge.
More specifically a color combination challenge, which is the theme of today’s Crafty Challenge blog hop.
So make sure you follow along and hop with us to see all the participating blogs’ projects. I am sure that when you see what we all created for this challenge, you will get lots and lots of ideas and inspiration to make handmade cards for your friends!
Plus you know I love a good challenge, and sketches and color combinations are always calling my name! So I am super excited to share with you the cards I made for this challenge.
Let’s get started!
Handmade Cards for your Friends
Whenever you feel like you can’t figure out where to start when making a card, try to look for a challenge. There are multiple challenges and these always give you an idea of where to start.
In this case, I use the color challenge provided by Stefanie from The Crafty Medic, which you can see below
Once I see the color combination, I usually go and look for patterned paper in these colors, as well as the cardstock. Plus I like to add some basic colors, like Basic White as well as maybe a specialty color that could go well with it, or that I can use for embellishments.
In this case, I thought that silver would go really well with the color combo. Not to mention, that doing this helps me as well to pick gems or ribbon to go with my cards.
Stamp sets
Once I have the patterned paper, cardstock and embellishments I want to use, I look for a stamp set to coordinate.
I will be very honest, it seems like a lot of the times I go for flowers, but you can be picking so many other sets, specially like patterns or something more generic that could go in any color. Additionally, I love to select sentiment sets, to have extra sentiments for my cards either to go for the inside or as the focal point itself.
And once I have defined the stamp set, then I just start playing with sketches and the products I selected.. At this point making cards, end up being super easy.
For these cards, here are the stamp sets I selected:
Pretty Perennials
Fancy Phrases
Floral Essence
Happy Thoughts
So Sentimental
Finished Cards, Sketches and other details
So here you have all the cards I have made for this challenge, what do you think?
All look different and each has a different theme, but all are perfect as handmade cards for your friends, don’t you think?
Handmade Card #1
For this first card, I used the designer series paper from the Dandy Garden Suite for a strip in the card as well as for the envelope. I don’t think I share a lot of cards where I have embellished the envelope, but I can honestly say that this makes a card looks even more professional and as a part of a card set. Little details as this will always help you make cards look even better..
Also note that I used the flowers from the pretty perennials to make my own designer series paper, in the colors that were provided. If you want to learn more about how to make your own patterned paper with stamps, you can read to this post, where I actually provided lots of tips using this same stamp set, but in different colors. So you can get even more ideas for this set in other colors while making your own designer series paper.
The sentiment was stamped in a circle from the stitched shapes dies and a little banner, using the same stamp set. And for the bow, I used the metallic edge ribbon (silver) which is white and would complement the card beautifully.
Handmade Card # 2
For this card, I decided to make another stamped background using the Fancy Phrases. I used the larger of the flowers, but I rotated the image as I stamped it. And to finish this card off, I embossed it using the subtle embossing folder.
The sentiment came from the So Sentimental stamp set, and I used the dies from this bundle to make the labels for the sentiment.
Finally, please note that I colored the same ribbon I used in the previous card with the stamping blends. This allowed me to have the ribbon in the same color as the label. In this case it was Misty Moonlight.
I love to do this as it helps me get all the elements in my card color coordinate, making even easier putting cards together!
You can see another card example using this same stamp set in another blue card in this post, however this time, I did a watercolor pattern using the Aqua painters. So you can think of other ways to make your backgrounds while playing with the same supplies.
Handmade Card # 3
For this card I used the Night of Navy sheet from the designer series paper in the Neutral pack. Having the paper packs in the family colors always helps me for color challenges, specially if I don’t have a paper pack using the colors needed for the color combo challenge.
So it is always a great idea to have the family color paper packs as you can use them for random color combinations you want to try.
As far as the layout, it seems like lately, I have been loving shifting the layers in an angle, so I can see a little bit more from the layers in the card. Give it a try, it changes the looks an I think it makes it look even trendier.
Anyway for this one I use the flowers from the Floral Essence as the embellishment of my card, plus these flowers added dimension to the card, as you can curled them before gluing them out. And for the bow, I used the white backer’s twine from the snail mail twine combo pack.
The sentiment came from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, and the labels came from the hippo & friends dies.
Handmade Card # 4
And for this final card, you can see I only used the one color – Misty Moonlight with Basic White. If you are starting out, and feel intimidated by the color combination, you can always dial down and use one color with a neutral color.
And when you do this, then you just pull cardstock and embellishments in the one color, in this case I use the Misty Moonlight for the cardstock, the designer series paper as well as the ribbon.. Color coordination for your projects always makes it easy to put the cards together, plus you will see they look amazing every single time!
The Designer series paper I used is the one from the Dandy Garden Suite and the sentiment came from the So sentimental stamp set!
If you want to see more Thank you cards with the Dandy Garden Suite, you can see this post. These ones are using the Green and Yellow patterns.
Final Thoughts
Hope you have enjoyed all the projects using the color combination from this challenge. I shared with you different ways to use this color combination in your cards. So next time you are struggling with finding where to start making cards, give it a try and play with color combination challenges.. Just look for a color combo and start making cards..
I try to put color combinations in my blog posts, so you can use any of these to start the process..

Want to learn how to make a cute handmade Birthday card for a friend? then keep reading my friend as today I am sharing with you a super cute Handmade Birthday card that you can customize with tons of little critters like the one I used in mine.
And as you can see I am participating in the monthly colour combo blog hop to challenge myself how to use their color combination into a handmade card!
So Let’s get started!!
How to make a cute Handmade Birthday Card for a Friend
So as I mentioned above, today I am participating into this blog hop to challenge myself to use the color combination of the month which you can see below
And honestly this is how I started brainstorming how to make my card or what to use for this Birthday handmade card, which I am not going to lie, sometimes I found this a bit more challenging than starting with the products in mind..
You see, I almost always try to pick the products and then from those products I pick the colors.. So you can see that going the opposite way can be challenging for my mind LOL. However I love it, because it forces me to look at things differently and I feel like I actually stretch my mind and my creativity.. And at the end of the day this always helps you to grow new skills!
So always try something different that challenges you, as this always helps you grow in other ways.. and I mean this not only for your card making but for everything in life! 😉
Anyway, back to my card.. I first thought about using flowers (I think I always want to go that route!). However, I remembered I got this cute new set from the August-December catalog (a.k.a. Winter or Holiday Catalog) that can make cute little critters. And this is when the light bulb went on! Why not using the soft suede for a little critter and use the other colors as highlights. Why not?
After I had picked up the little critter, I looked for paper and embellishments in the other colors from this color combo. I realized I had a spool of ribbon in Mint Macaroon. This got me thinking about using this color as the highlight and the Rich Razzleberry as the color for my card base.
So here is the card!! tah-dah!! what do you think???
The Sketch & Other Details
Once I knew which products I was going to use for this card, I then looked for a sketch.
If you have been following me for a while, you know how much I love using a sketch. I strongly believe that this makes things so easy when you are coming up with ideas for your cards.
One think I always suggest is to start with an easy and simple sketch, that way you don’t get overwhelmed by thinking how to substitute the elements on the sketch.
As far as the card itself, I made the little beaver using the Menagerie Mix-up stamp set, and if you look in to the details you will see that his cheeks are colored as well as his scarf.
I used Flirty Flamingo – dark shade from the Stampin’ Blends to color his cheek. And the Dark shade of the Mint Macaroon to color his scarf. I think this added a little bit more of personality to the beaver. Don’t you think?
One tip to assemble the beaver was to stamp, color and cut out all the pieces using the dies, and then glue all the pieces using the Glue Dots.
When you are ready to add the beaver to the card, you can use dimensionals to add more dimension to it!!
The best think of the Menagerie Mix up bundle is that you can create so many critters that you can customize the card to many options.
And I am also thinking that these little critters can go perfect for like Baby Shower cards, or kids cards! so the possibilities are endless for sure!!
As mentioned above, I am participating on a blog hop where all participants will be sharing their projects using these colors!! I am really curious to see all their great creations!! As I know they always come up with so many ideas that keeps me inspired.
