#TGIF280 Colour Challenge

I used Pear Pizzazz as my base card today, followed by another layer of Pear Pizzazz ( I embossed using -tasteful texture embossing folder) .                   

I added three pieces of Soft Suede Cardstocks which I stamped using Soft Suede Stampin’ Classic Ink       (tone on tone technique ) next to the embossed Pear Pizzazz Cardstock. Next layer followed by Blushing Bride and Whisper White Cardstock. Tree in Soft Suede Stampin’ ink and the leaves using blushing bride Stampin’ ink. Click the image, they are the product links at end of my blog post which will take you to my Online Shop straight. 

Click here to Vote for five of your favourite cards in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights -Septemeber 2020. 

I used a scrap piece of Whisper white and stamped multiple times using Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede Classic ink and tear it gently then sponged the edges using Sponge Daubers using Pear Pizzazz ink and attached it to the centre card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. 
As a final touch I added the 1/4″ Shimmer ribbon and made a bow and I cut it in the middle of the ribbon to give some different look to it and adhere it using glue dot. I splashed some Clear Wink of Stella on  Whisper White Cardstock and I added some of the gilded gems. 
I decorated the inside using the the layers Soft Suede and Whisper White, stamped images using blushing bride and Soft Suede Classic Stampin’ Ink.

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!

Hello lovely Crafty friends, Today's card is for t Hello lovely Crafty friends,
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?
