Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden – #TheSpotChallenge159

27 April 2021
6 Comments

27 Apr

Hello, Lovely Ladies,

Welcome to my Blog! 

My Today’s card for The Spot Design Team project TheSpotChallenge#159. 

For this week it’s an Ink Blending Challenge. Challenges are always so much fun to play along with. 

You can also take part in this weekly challenge.                                     

I used Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp set. All the products from the New Annual Catalogue will be available from May 4th, 2021. 

Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are New In-colors. Both Stampin’ Classic Ink and A4 Card stocks will be available in May4th 2021.                                                                            

Measurements A4 Cardstock:

  • Base card Evening Evergreen – New In color ( 29.7 by 21 cm scored @14.9cm )
  • Layer 1: Evening Evergreen – 14.4 cm by 10 cm ( embossed using Tasteful Textile embossing folder ) 
  • Layer 2: Soft Sea Foam 9.5 cm by 13.9 cm 
  • Layer 3: Basic White Cardstock – I used the Soft Sea Foam stampin’ ink first on the top, I used our blending brush to bring the light shade to the card first. 
  • Next, I used Soft Succulent ( New In color ) next to Soft Sea Foam to give a little dark shade and finally used the Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Classic Ink to give the dark shade to the bottom. 
  • Evening Evergreen -10 cm by 14.4 cm ( Inside )
  • Soft Sea Foam – 9.7cm by 14.1cm ( Inside) 
  • Stamped the image using Momento Tuxedo black ink. 
  • Colored the flower using White Stampin’ Chalk Marker to give white shade.
  • I splattered some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint and Clear Wink of Stella to the background of the card. 
  • Added some of the new In-colors Jewels on top of the flower to give some glow. 
  • Stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Classic Ink on the Soft Sea Foam Cardstockon the die-cut piece. 
  • Decorated the Inside using simple stamping.

    Your card is SO beautiful, Maheswari! The blended greens are just gorgeous, and the flowers are so pretty highlighted in chalk ink, with the gems added.

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.

Make it Masculine Today’s post is by the Piccadil Make it Masculine 
Today’s post is by the Piccadilli Players about masculine cards, and I wanted to create something a little different Masculine card with a vintage feel.

For this card, I used the Gears and Texture Bundle, which is a fantastic set for masculine projects. To create the background, I started with watercolor paper and blended Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie for a rich, aged look.

I love how the colours and texture came together to create a masculine card with a unique vintage style.
We have more inspiration using Masculine cards today. Let's see what Su @aromasandart created.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!
