2 Feb

Hello lovely Crafty friends,

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 Designer Series paper
I like to use the two Sale-A-Bration products one is Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper but without the fruit images, and the next one is the Heart Shaped Bundle.
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

  • Base card – Pumpkin Pie 10.5cm x 29.6cm scored@14.9cm (4 1/4″ x 11″scored@ 5 1/2″)
  • Layer 1: DSP- 9cm x 14.9cm (3 1/2″x 5 1/2″)

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!
