Stampin’ Up Garden Walk DSP Beginner Card for new Sketch Layout

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to a new week AND a new Sketch Layout.

Today’s layout & card is so perfect for the Beginner Stamper.  It’s easy to follow without being too involved with layers.  Clean & simple are ones that I love creating.

Be sure to pop on over to check out what Robbie has created today.

As I wanted to keep the layout true to it’s original clean & simple look, I decided to use a small piece of the Garden Walk 6 x 6 DSP from the new Mini Catalogue.

The biggest problem I had was deciding on what sentiment to use.  Then it hit me – the sentiment from the So Sincere Stamp Set is so perfect for this card.  I love the fonts & sentiments in this set.  Be sure to check it out.


After adhering the DSP to the Basic White layer, I then scored a couple of lines with the Paper Trimmer down either side to give it a little interest.  To add even more interest, splatters of Pretty Peacock were randomly added with the Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker.

Pecan Pie Ink was used to stamp the sentiment prior to adhering to a Pretty Peacock Base Card.  It was finished off by randomly adhering 3 x Pecan Pie Opaque Dots to the card front.

Easy Masking with Enjoy the Rhythm

G’Day Friends,

Can you believe this is our last day of sharing Male cards with you?  Where has that month gone?  We do hope you have enjoyed seeing lots of inspiration and ideas for your own cards.

Now, I will be the first to admit, I don’t have a lot of masucline stamp sets, but it is amazing what you can achieve when looking at your stamp sets with new eyes & thinking “outside the box” so to speak.

Wonder what Robbie has created today?  Be sure to head over to check out her card by clicking on the link.

I was gonna case a card from the Annual Catalogue but as usual changed my mind at the 11th hour & decided to play with our Decorative Masks.  You can have so much fun with these things, I know I do.

The Mask is from the Artistic Decorative Masks.  A little Lost Lagoon Ink was blended over the top with our Blending Brushes.

Don’t you just love Colour Combination?  Pumpkin Pie, Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon.  Colours I would not normally put together, especially tossing Pumpkin Pie into the mix but they work so well together.  Why not have a play with this colour Combination yoursef?

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck for an easy Card

G’Day Friends,

I wasn’t too sure if I could get this completed today as a storm has been building & if it looks like rain, my internet goes bonkers!  Anyhow, fingers crossed that this post happens & no problems while writing it.

Wonder what Robbie has created today?  Be sure to head over to check out her card by clicking on the link.

Today’s card is all about the fun Hey Chuck Bundle which I’ve teamed up with the 2023-2025 In Colours DSP 6 x 6.  Of course, I had to chop my paper into bits & pieces although I had no intention of doing so.

Check out that bright sun.  It’s been created with Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie Inks along with Sponge Daubers.  I did add a little bit of the Moody Mauve Ink to it too.

The Rooster has been coloure & blended with Moody Mave & Daffodil Dleight Stampin’ Blends Combos.  I love this Rooster as he thinks he is such a “man” of the world lol.

Celebrating with Let’s Go Fishing DSP

G’Day Friends,

Today’s card is all about the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper & another male idea for all occasions.

Be sure to pop on over to check out to see what Robbie has created.

Now, I will be honest & say that my card is totally different to what I had in mind.  It sort of took a life of it’s own right at the beginning with the changing of the DSP direction!

I am really liking the Let’s Go Fishing DSP & this card proves that you don’t teally have to have the coordinating Bundle, although it is gorgeous & one I use a lot.  You can do so much with the papers while at the same time using other stamp sets.

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration for Father’s Day!

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for popping by.

For today’s card I decided to dust off the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set & Waves Dies.

Sometimes we’re too busy playing with new product that we forget about old favourites collecting dust on the shelf.  I love the images in this set, especially the Pelican & the great wave.

To find out what Robbie has created be sure to pop on over to her blog.

I also decided to team this set up with the Countryside Inn DSP.  I’ve used one of the non-floral sides on my card.  The base card is Old Olive while the middle panel is Pecan Pie.
