Hop Abroad Instagram Hop – NO STAMPING!

8 March 2026
Leave a Comment

8 Mar

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to Hop Abroad March Insta Hop, each month there is different theme, this month theme is something interesting thats NO STAMPING!
I created this card for today’s challenge – and the fun part is, there is no stamping at all! 😊

Sometimes it’s nice to step outside our usual crafting style and try something different. By playing with colours, layers, and textures, you can still create a beautiful and interesting card. Challenges like this are a great way to spark creativity and try new ideas.
Have you ever made a card without stamping?

I used Blackberry Bliss as my Base Card and watercolored the fluid watercolour paper background using different colours.

Here is my version – I used Cute As A Bug DSP and the Brushed With Beauty DSP
Pop over to my Instagram — @maheswarirajaguru — and check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!

I used Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia and Petal Pink for the background colours! I used Wet on Wet Technique watercolour in the background, so that it will mix naturally and get the colours together!

COLOUR PALETTE

Blackberry Bliss
Fresh Freesia
Petal Pink
Old Olive
Mossy Meadow

Measurements

  • Blackberry Bliss – 10.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.9cm( 4 1/4″x 11″scored at 5 1/2″)
  • Fluid Watercolour Paper -Secret Sea 10cmx 14.4cm (4″x 5 1/4″ – embossed)
  • Inside – Basic White – 10cmx 14.4cm

Designer Series Paper

Procedure:

  • I watercolored the background using the colours Darling duckling , Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss.
  • Fussy cut the images from the Cute As A Bug and Brushed with Petals DSP.
  • For the Sentiment I used the Greetings for All Mix& Match Ephemera Pack.
  • Finish the inside of the card using some fussy cut pieces from the DSP.

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

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!
