Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team. Each month will have a different theme and this month’s theme is to pick a Christmas Characters.
I picked one character GINGERBREAD and the REINDEER.
I like to play along using the Ephemera Pack, they are so much fun to play along with, Which is a great way to create straightforward and Quick cards.
I love the adorable Christmas characters GINGERBREAD and The REINDEER DAYS DSP.
GINGERBREAD are Fun, edible characters associated with Christmas baking traditions.
I am looking forward to seeing what the Design Team has created. 

Here is my card 

JOYFUL IMAGES MIX & MATCH SPECIALTY EPHEMERA PACK

I made another version using this same layout but with different colour choices.

Stampin' Up! Ephemera Pack - Maheswari Rajaguru

Measurements:

  • Base card – Garden Green – 10.5cm x 29.7cm scored@14.9cm (4 1/4″ x 11″Scored @ 5 1/2″)
  • Layer 1 Garden Green: 9.7cm x 14.1cm (embossed) (4″ X 5 1/4″)
  • Basic White Inside -10cm x 14.4cm (4″ X 5 1/4″)
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Garden Green.
  • Scrap pieces of PRETTY PEACOCK for the inside of the card.
  • I used a 2″ Circle punch on Pretty Peacock Cardstock, sponged it using Pretty Peacock Ink, and then attached it to the centre of the Basic White Cardstock using glue.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of the card using some scrap pieces of the cardstock.

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.
