Be Inspired Blog Hop – June

24 June 2026
2 Comments

24 Jun

Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, this month’s theme is whats the layout which works all the time!

This month’s theme – Creative ways to use sentiments!
Here is my project!

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to my blog! Today I’m sharing a card I created for the Be Inspired Design Team. I always love being part of these challenges because it’s a great way to get creative and see how everyone interprets the theme in their own style.

For this card, I wanted to keep the design fun and interesting while letting the main elements shine. I spent some time playing around with the colours and layers until everything came together the way I imagined. Sometimes cards come together quickly, and other times they need a bit of tweaking along the way, but that’s all part of the creative process!

I used Night Of Navy as Base card followed with the colours Azure Afternoon,

Decorate the inside of the card using scrap pieces or pre die cut pieces.

Product Used

Scrap small pieces to add inside the card.

    This blog hop was amazing, but your card really made me smile! I loved all the depth and textures. So totally absorbing, I couldn’t stop looking. I have the die set, and hope to case. Thank you for all your inspiration!

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

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad August 2026 Insta Hop, and this month's theme is "Least Used Colours."
I chose Flirty Flamingo because it's one of those colours I rarely reach for but I had so much fun creating with it! I paired it with the beautiful July Product of the Month - Begonia Belle stamp set, and I absolutely love how this card turned out.

Check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!

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.
