2 Comments

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″)
  • Layer 2: : Peach Pie – 9cm x 14.9cm (3 1/2″x 5 1/2″)
  • Basic White Inside -10cm x 14.4cm (4″x 5 1/4″)
  • Scrap pieces of Basic White for die-cutting.
    Die-cut the Basic White cardstock first and stamp the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Basic Gray Ink.

Hi lovely Crafters, Today’s project is inspired b Hi lovely Crafters,

Today’s project is inspired by the Stamping Through the Catalogue challenge. I CASE'd this month's #STTCCASE , keeping the simple layout while following the sketch and colour combination.
I used the Nature's walk Designer Series Paper. 
It was the perfect opportunity to use up lots of my scrap pieces-proof that even the smallest leftovers can create something beautiful! 💚
Here’s my finished card. I hope it inspires you to give it a try too! 😊is card followed the sketch and the colours. Challenges are always fun!
