Hop Abroad Instagram Hop – December 2025

7 December 2025
Leave a Comment

7 Dec

Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Can’t believe how fast time flies — it’s already the December Hop! I’m so excited to join the latest Hop Abroad Instagram Hop with a theme focused on Tags.
I’ve paired the Peaceful Garden DSP with delicate die-cut snowflakes, and added a touch of sparkle using the Glimmer Paper from the Peaceful Garden suite to really make those beautiful patterns shine.
Want more inspiration? ✨
Pop over to my Instagram — @maheswarirajaguru — and check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!

COLOUR PALETTE

Secret Sea
Misty Moonlight
Basic White
Lost Lagoon
Cherry Cobbler

Today I’m sharing something simple, sweet, and super fun – three handmade tags made with the Tags Dies Set, which is now on the Last Chance list. If this set has been on your wishlist, now’s the time to grab it before it’s gone for good!

Designer Series Paper

Procedure:

  • Die-cut the label using the Pattern Tags Dies in three different colours:
  • Basic White, Secret Sea, Lost Lagoon DSP from the Peaceful Garden, and Glimmer Paper.
  • Using DSP for die-cutting adds a beautiful variation and gives each tag its own unique style.
  • The snowflakes are from the Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.
  • The sentiments are from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.
  • I sponged the sentiment with Misty Moonlight ink to add soft shading and extra depth.
  • The Misty Moonlight ribbon is absolutely amazing – it adds the perfect finishing touch along with the Baker’s Twine essential pack!

Finish the whole tag with a touch of Wink of Stella for that perfect hint of sparkle. ✨

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.

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.
