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.

This month's theme is to Creating Backgrounds.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and created a soft watercolored background. Once the watercolour was completely dry, I stamped the images in Black ink over the top, creating a beautiful contrast that really makes the design stand out.

Hello crafty friends! Who says we have to wait un Hello crafty friends!

Who says we have to wait until December to start creating Christmas cards? I absolutely love celebrating Christmas in July, and today I’m sharing the festive cards created with the beautiful Festive Cheer Bundle. 

This bundle is such a joy to work with! We did a Free Christmas in July class for the Stamping Lounge members yesterday.

Hello Crafty Friends, Today's hop is for the Hop Hello Crafty Friends,

This month theme is one of my fav thats USE Your Scraps! As crafters, we all have those leftover bits of cardstock, Designer Series Paper, and die-cuts waiting to be used. There’s something so satisfying about turning those scraps into a beautiful handmade card instead of letting them sit in a pile!
