17 Jul

Hello, lovely ladies, 

Welcome back. My Today’s card for the Casually Crafting Design Team Blog Hop. The purpose of this hop is mainly for beginners and Casual Crafters with limited products. 

This month it’s a Sketch Challenge.   

Colours: Basic White, Basic Black and, Crushed Curry.

I used the Stamp set Love of Leaves for the sentiment.

If you are interested in any of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used here, they will be available at my Online Store.

Here is my card for today’s card.

Sketch for today’s challenge.
  • Base Card Basic Black- 10.5 cm by 29.7 cm scored @14.9cm 
  • Layer 1: Crushed Curry: 10 cm by 14.4cm – 2 pieces ( 1 for Inside )
  • Layer 2: Basic White: 9.8 cm by 14.2 cm – 2 Pieces ( 1 for Inside )
  • Layer 3: Pattern Party Designer Series Paper – 7.5 cm by 13 cm 
  • Layer 4: Border to attach at the end – 2 cm by 13.5 cm 
  • Layer 5: Basic White: 6 cm by 7.5 cm 
  • Fussy cut the flowers from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper.
  • Stamped the sentiment in Basic Black Cardstock using VersaMark Inkpad, used the White embossing powder, and then used the heat tool to melt the powder. 
  • Attach the sentiment using Stampin’Dimensional and add a small piece of Basic Gray Cardstock behind the black idea.
  • Splatter some of the black Stampin’ Ink and Clear Wink of Stella in the background.
  • Attached are the images and the ribbons to the front of the card using stampin’ dimensional and mini glue dots.
  • Decorated inside of the card using layers and flowers.

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

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad August 2026 Insta Hop, and this month's theme is "Least Used Colours."
I chose Flirty Flamingo because it's one of those colours I rarely reach for but I had so much fun creating with it! I paired it with the beautiful July Product of the Month - Begonia Belle stamp set, and I absolutely love how this card turned out.

Check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!

This month's theme is to Creating Backgrounds.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and created a soft watercolored background. Once the watercolour was completely dry, I stamped the images in Black ink over the top, creating a beautiful contrast that really makes the design stand out.
