1 Sep

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Welcome to My blog. My today’s card for Day 1- #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge created by Martin Stone from UK. Each day with different themes. I am very excited to take part in this fun challenge.


Day 1 – Winter Winds :
Everyone can take part in this Challenge and play with what you have.  I used Stampin’ Up! ‘ Life is beautiful’ and ‘ Christmas Gleaming’  Stamp sets.
Here is the card,

All the Stampin’ Up! products are available at my Online Store here.

I used Whisper White as my base card followed by the layers Balmy Blue, again Balmy blue stamped my image in Versamark Ink and add white embossing powder , then used my heat tool to melt the powder. 
I used the dots on the background using Versamark and Balmy Blue ink and for the Snow effect I added some White Embossing paste on top of the tree and on the small bird house. I stamped the birdhouse and the sentiment in smoky slate Stamping’ Classic ink. 
I used some scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock and added some White Shimmery embossing paste on top of it. I decorated inside of the card using some snow flakes stamp set using smoky slate and Balmy blue ink.

I used Cardstock Balmy Blue and Whisper White for layering and added little scrap pieces of Balmy Blue and smoky slate. As a final touch I finished my card using the Elegant Faceted Gems and White Polka dot ribbon. 
I hope you like my today’s card.

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.
For this project, I chose to feature an image from page 41 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue 2025–2026. As this catalogue will soon be retiring, it felt like the perfect time to revisit some of its beautiful inspiration and give it one more moment to shine.

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!
