Leave a Comment

5 Jan

Today’s post is for the Hop Abroad Instagram Hop. Each month, we’ll explore a new theme; this month, it’s all about using Sale-A-Bration (SAB) products.

I’ve combined two SAB favourites for today’s project: the Dance With Me sentiments from the Day to Celebrate stamp set and the beautiful Starstruck Embossing Folder.

Stay tuned for more inspiration, and be sure to check out the amazing creations from other participants! To see all the design team members’ projects, check out my Instagram account, @maheswarirajaguru.

Here is my project 

InstaHop –@maheswarirajaguru

Used the colours Pool Party, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla A4 cardstock. coloured the images using Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends.

Stamped the sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock using Versamark Ink and White embossing powder. Fussy cut the coloured images and the sentiment.

For Layer 1, I embossed the Pool Party cardstock using the SAB embossing folder. To add a different background to the Very Vanilla cardstock, I sponged it with Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, and Peach Pie inks.

The fussy-cut images and sentiment were attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals to create depth. All the products I use are available in my online store.

Measurements

Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎 This mo Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎
This month, our theme is Die-Cutting, and I decided to highlight trees in my card design.

For my card base, I used Basic Gray, and I sponged the first layer with Blueberry Bushel to create depth and a lovely background for the colourful trees.
 I watercoloured the cardstock before die cutting. I love how this adds a unique touch and brings variation to each tree in colours.
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.
