Hop Abroad Instagram Hop – May 2026

3 May 2026
Leave a Comment

3 May

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our May 2026 Instagram Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s theme is New In Colours 2026-2028
I love all the colours but as green is my all time fav I picked only 2 New In -colours Peaceful Pine, and Crisp Cantaloupe.

Here is my version –
Pop over to my Instagram — @maheswarirajaguru — and check out the amazing projects created by the rest of the design team!


Love the the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, Black and White is great for colouring and add any of our fav colours there too!

Fussy cut the images from the DSP and watercolored the flowers and leaves using the 2 in colours.

WOrds and Wishes Bundle

I can’t show the catalogue picture but this stamp set will be available for the whole year!

Procedure:

  • Punch the circle as a focal point with the DSP.
  • Colour the flowers and added them on top of it again using some dimeniosnal to show 3D effect on the flowers.
  • Stamp the sentiment using White embossing powder and heat tool to dry them.
  • Peaceful Pine ribbon was used here as a border, this was inspired by Canadian Demo Kim!
  • Splatter some black ink nd clear wink of stella to the background.

Decorate the inside of the card using some scrap pieces.

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

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad April 2026 Instagram Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s hop we are chasing the catalogue.
For this project, I chose to feature an image from page 41 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue 2025–2026. As this catalogue will soon be retiring, it felt like the perfect time to revisit some of its beautiful inspiration and give it one more moment to shine.
