Hop Abroad Insta Hop – Use Your Scraps

5 July 2026
Leave a Comment

5 Jul

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our July 2026 Instagram Hop.
Today’s hop is for the Hop Abroad July 2026 Insta Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s hop is use your scraps. I love this theme, we always have lots of scraps with us!

Cardstocks:

Hydrangea Hue, crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Golden Glow

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

For these three cards, I used a mix of scrap pieces, cardstock, and the Artisan and Sketched Designer Series Papers. I also wanted to highlight the gorgeous 2026–2028 Stampin’ Up! In Colors, giving the other colours a chance to shine by taking a little break from Peaceful Pine, which I’ve been using a lot lately.

Products Used

Procedure:

  • I gathered scrap pieces from the In colours, most of them are 1cm / 1/2″ and few pieces are little bit wider.
  • I added glue in White Cardstock and attached all the pieces in my own pattern according to the colours I have with me.
  • Fussy cut the flowers from my left over scrap piece from the DSP.
  • Coloured them using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends
  • Stamped the sentiment on Basic Gray with Words and Wishes Stamp set.
  • Stamp the sentiment using White embossing powder on and heat tool to dry them.
  • Splatter some Wink Of Stella ink and clear wink of stella to the background.

Decorate the inside of the card using some scrap pieces.

Hi lovely Crafters, Today’s project is inspired b Hi lovely Crafters,

Today’s project is inspired by the Stamping Through the Catalogue challenge. I CASE'd this month's #STTCCASE , keeping the simple layout while following the sketch and colour combination.
I used the Nature's walk Designer Series Paper. 
It was the perfect opportunity to use up lots of my scrap pieces-proof that even the smallest leftovers can create something beautiful! 💚
Here’s my finished card. I hope it inspires you to give it a try too! 😊is card followed the sketch and the colours. Challenges are always fun!

Today I'm sharing a masculine card created with th Today I'm sharing a masculine card created with the beautiful Nature Symphony Suite. I love how this suite brings the beauty of the outdoors into our crafting with its nature-inspired images, coordinating dies, and gorgeous Designer Series Paper.

Masculine cards can sometimes be tricky, but the Nature Symphony Bundle made this one easy! I started with a mix of Designer Series Paper patterns and colours to create a natural, layered background, then added die-cut elements to bring texture and dimension to the design.
