Beach Day card – Be Inspired Blog Hop March ’25…

Hello and welcome to the Be Inspired blog hop, where our theme this month is Ocean Fun, and I have made a fairly clean and simple card using the Beach Day stamp and die sets from Stampin’ Up! These sets have been out for a while now, but they are new to me and I had a lovely time stamping and colouring the elements for the front of my card, with the colours inspired by a card from my Color Cube from Sarah Renae Clark – I love having all that colour inspiration on hand and these work so beautifully […]

You’ll likely see lots more Cute Christmas Characters from the rest of the team this month, as that is our theme and what we will all be designing around. I couldn’t resist the Christmas Friends stamp set when I saw it, and have used it a lot recently, especially as it is one of […]
