Inks used for Sponging:
Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Bumblebee, and Daffodil Delight.
  • I used Crumb Cake as my base card today followed by the layers Just Jade, Whisper White Sponged using different color combos. 
  •  I Sponged on the Whisper White Cardstock using Pretty Peacock first, followed by the slight shade of Shaded Spruce, next Bumblebee, and then finally I added the Stampin’ Daffodil Delight. 
  • Once I finished Sponging again I sponged using pretty Peacock ink on the top to blend the colors altogether.
  • Then I stamped the images using the Stampin’ Classic Ink Just Jade and White ink on the background sponged Cardstock. 
  • Next splashed some water and frost Shimmer paint on the background to give some water feel to the background.
  • Die-cut pieces are from Just Jade, Mango Melody, Whisper White Cardstock, and Pearl Scented Paper from the Suite. 
  • Stamped the image on Basic Black and heat emboss it using Stampin’ White Emboss Powder. 

Measurements in Metric:

  • Base Card Crumb Cake A4 Card Stock: 27.8 cm by 10.5 cm ( Cut at the half on 27.8 cm on a side, scored and folded at the half at 10.5 cm )
  • First Layer Seaside Spray/Just Jade: 10 cm by 14.4 cm ( 2 Pieces -1 for inside )
  • Second Layer Night of Navy/ Shaded Spruce: 9.7 cm by 14.1 cm 
  • Third layer: 9.4 cm by 13.9 cm 
  • Scrap piece of Basic Black Cardstock – for the sentiment.

I used the colors: Night of Navy, Seaside Spray, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, and Sahara Sand. 

  • Sponged the Shell using Sahara Sand and adhere it using Stampin’ dimensionals , next added the Blue Adhesive Gems using glue. As a final touch I used Forever Greenery Trim and Whisper White Polka Dot ribbon attached it using glue dots. 
  • Inside of the card decorated in the same way as mentioned above.

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!
