21 Aug

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 Color Challenge.   

Colours: Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, and Polished Pink.

I used the Stamp set Textures and Frames from the Sale-A-Bration Set. You can earn this stamp set for FREE. 

The Centre image and the sentiments are from the Color & Contour Stamp set.

If you are interested in any of the Stampin’ Up! products I used here, they will be available at my Online Store. You can find it at the end of this blog post below. 

Here is my card for today’s card.

  • Base card  Daffodil Delight- 10.5 cm by 29.7cm scored @14.9cm 
  • Layer 1: Basic White- 10 cm by 14.4 cm (2 pieces- 1 for inside )
  • Layer 2: Basic White- 9.7 cm by 14.1 cm  2 pieces- 1 for inside )
  • Layer 3: Basic White- 9.5 cm by 13.9cm 
  • Layer 4: Basic White- 6.2 cm by 9.2 cm 
  • Stamped the background using the 3 colours. 
  • Stamp the image using Momento Tuxedo Black Ink and colour it using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Classic Ink on Layer 4. 
  • Attach flowers for every season white ribbon and then adhere the layer 4 on top using stampin’ Dimensional. 
  • Stamped the sentiment on Basic Black and White embossing powder, then fussy cut it using scissors.
  • Adhere it using Stampin’ Dimensional. 
  • Added some Simply elegant silver trim on top using glue dots, then splatter black ink on the background. 
  • Stamped the image inside for decoration. 
Hope you all like my today’s card. Check out other Design Team Member’s projects for more inspiration. Leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you all.

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!

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?
