Joyful Friends – Craft with Kate, Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instagram Hop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 25 – Garden Green

My card this week is a double slider card featuring the Joyful Friends stamp set and the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The images are stamped in Pecan Pie ink and coloured with Blends Combo Markers and some Wink of Stella and the sentiments are stamped in Garden Green ink.

You can see on the right side of the card that there is a semi circle notifying the recipient to pull. As you slide the panel another smaller one appears from behind the front panel of the card.

The best part is that this entire mechanism is fully hidden within the front cover of the card and behind this DSP panel when the card is open. This leaves plenty of room for your message to your recipient!!

Heart of Christmas – Week 6 Joyful Friends Reverse Stamping

12 October, 202612 October, 2026 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening to share Christmas inspiration using @stampinupofficial seasonal products.

Joyful Friends Reverse Stamping Technique

If anyone knows me, they know my love of the wombat and this Christmas card makes me so happy. I’ve done some reverse stamping for a fun slimline card with the Joyful Friends stamp set.

My card base is covered with a layer of Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). The wombats are stamped on Basic White card then mounted to a narrow layer of Gold Foil, then a layer of Mossy Meadow card. The sentiment is Pink Foil using the Hot Foiling System and the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies.

To do reverse stamping you will need a Stamp Positioner and a Silicone Sheet. Stamp your image onto the silicone sheet twice, then place your cardstock on top and close your positioner and press firmly to transfer the ink to the cardstock.

They are coloured using Blends Combo Markers and each of the lights have some Fine Tip Glue to make them glossy. Do this step last and set it aside to dry.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Judy May.

The full list of participants for this week can be viewed on Sharon Davern’s blog.
