Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop August 2023

4 August 2023
22 Comments

4 Aug

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

My today’s post is for Let’s Craft Together August Blog Hop. Group of Australian Stampin’ Up! Demos joined together to do this monthly Blog Hop with challenges. So each month there will be a different Challenge.
Also, this month’s theme is Tic Tac Toe Sketch Challenge so you are going to see different projects from everyone today.

I picked the middle option – Friendship, Designer Series Paper and the Ribbon.

Stamp Set – Timeless Arrangements

DSP – Let’s Go Fishing


All the Stampin’ Up! projects I used here will be available in my online store. So check out the end of my blog post and click the picture to reach my online shop.

Here is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Sketch 

Measurements:

  • Base card – Mossy Meadow – 10.5cm x 29.7cm scored@14.9cm Or (4 1/4″ x 11’scored@5 1/2″)
  • Layer 1: Mossy Meadow -9.7cm x 14.1cm Or (4″ x 5 1/4″) embossed 
  • Crumb Cake – 2cm x 14.1cm Or (3/4″ x 5 1/4″)
  • DSP – 3cm x14.1cm Or (1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″)
  • DSP for the TAG- 5cmx 7cm  Or (2″ x 2 3/4″) 
  • Adhere the Base card and the embossed layer 1 together using glue. 
  • Used the Bright and Balloon dies to cut the Crumb Cake cardstock on the sides of the DSP. 
  • Tear one side of the DSP using your hands and then adhere it to layer 1 cardstock using glue. 
  • Attach the tag (used Very Best Trio Punch to create the Tag) and cut the fish image from the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.
  • Adhere the Base card and the embossed layer 1 together using glue. 
  • Used the Bright and Balloon dies to cut the Crumb Cake cardstock on the sides of the DSP. 
  • Tear one side of the DSP using your hands and then adhere it to layer 1 cardstock using glue. 
  • Attach the tag (use the Trio Punch to create this tag) and cut the fish image from the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.
  • Attach it using Stampin’ Dimensional. Add the ribbon and the twine on top using glue dots. 
  • Stamp the sentiment using a Tuxedo Memento Black Ink pad and attach it using Dimensional. 
  • Remember to decorate the inside of the card using the scrap piece of the DSP.

Make it Masculine Today’s post is by the Piccadil Make it Masculine 
Today’s post is by the Piccadilli Players about masculine cards, and I wanted to create something a little different Masculine card with a vintage feel.

For this card, I used the Gears and Texture Bundle, which is a fantastic set for masculine projects. To create the background, I started with watercolor paper and blended Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie for a rich, aged look.

I love how the colours and texture came together to create a masculine card with a unique vintage style.
We have more inspiration using Masculine cards today. Let's see what Su @aromasandart created.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!

Today's card is for the #TGIFC598 Sketch challenges, they are one of the easiest ways to create beautiful cards without overthinking the design. They give you a clear layout to follow, making the whole process simple and enjoyable!

One of the best things about OnStage is meeting so One of the best things about OnStage is meeting so many wonderful people #onstage2026 . I was so happy to meet most of my amazing friends. Sharing a few photos I captured during the event. ❤️
Welcome to Hop Abroad March Insta Hop, each month Welcome to Hop Abroad March Insta Hop, each month there is different theme, this month theme is something interesting thats NO STAMPING!
I created this card for today’s challenge - and the fun part is, there is no stamping at all! 😊

Sometimes it’s nice to step outside our usual crafting style and try something different. By playing with colours, layers, and textures, you can still create a beautiful and interesting card. Challenges like this are a great way to spark creativity and try new ideas.
Have you ever made a card without stamping?
