22 July 2021
16 Comments

22 Jul

Hello, my Crafty Friends, 

Welcome to my blog. 

My today’s card for the Creativity Abounds Design Team Blog Hop, a group of Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators from all around the world come together to share our creative ideas with you. I am pleased to join this amazing Design Team, and we are happy that you can join us and hope that we can inspire you.  

For the Blog Hop and for the Tutorial month, we are highlighting the Stampin’ Up! Simply Elegant Suite. 

Here is my card for today’s Blog Hop: 

You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way, there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get inspiration. 

I used the colours Pool Party, Basic White and, Simply Elegant Designer series paper.

  • Base Card Pool Party- 10.5 cm by 29.7cm scored@ 14.9cm 
  • Layer1 Pool Party: 10cm by 14.4 cm ( embossed and sponged the edges using Pool Party Ink )
  • Layer 2 White Vellum: 10 by 6.5 cm (embossed the edges using Tateful Textile embossing folder)
  • Layer 3 Designer Series Paper :5 cm by 9 cm 
  • Basic White : 10cm by 14.4cm ( Inside )
  • Basic White : 9.8 cm by 14.2 cm ( Inside )
  • Stamped the flower image on the background of the Pool Party Cardstock and embossed it using a tasteful textile embossing folder. 
  • Then sponge the edges using the Pool Party stampin’ classic ink. 
  • Added the White chalk to the centre of the flower to give some brightness to it. 
  • Then I stamped the flower image using VersaMark Ink on White Vellum cardstock and heat emboss using a heat tool. 
  • Fussy cut the flower and added it next to the sentiment punched card ( Pool Party )
  • Stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Pool Party.
  • As a final added the In- Color Jewels ( Evening Evergreen ) and Clear wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.

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!
