Sneak Peek- Positive Inkers Global Blog Hop

1 August 2020
19 Comments

1 Aug
Hello Beauties,

Happy to welcome you all to my blog! I am very excited and honoured when I asked to be part of  the Positive Inkers Global Design Team. 
This is our first Blog Hop. Thank you so much Sandy McCullough in Canada for organising this.

Blog Hop Theme: Sneak Peek form August – December Mini Catalogue products.

I used the Stamp set from last year’s return Christmas Gleaming.

I used Balmy Blue as my base card today, followed by the layers balmy blue and Whisper White. I used 3D Subtle embossing folder and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and sponged the image edges using Balmy Blue ink to give some dark shades and punched out using co-ordinating punches and for the leaves I used light shade of smoky slate using the blender pens. 
All the Stampin’ up! products which I used here are available at My Online store.
Sentiment was stamped using Balmy Blue ink, I used the layering circle dies and new Balmy Blue glimmer paper for layering. New Glimmer Paper from looks amazing. As a final touch I added Blue Adhesive -Backed Gems to the Cardstock and added some crystal effects to the berries. 
Inside the card I decorated using the punched image and layered it using smoky slate and whisper white Cardstock.

Hello Crafty Friends, Today's hop is for the Hop Hello Crafty Friends,

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad April 2026 Instagram Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s hop we are chasing the catalogue.

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!
