Suspended Book Fold Card – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop August ’23…

Our theme for this month’s Creativity Abounds Blog Hop is ‘Fancy Folds’ and I have got one for you that I have never seen before, a suspended Book Fold Card.

Masculine Themed Nature Card – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop May ’23…

This month’s hop is all about the new 2023 – 2025 In Colors, and I wanted to share how I used two of them to make this masculine themed nature card, perfect for a special guy’s birthday, or even for Father’s Day (18th June in the UK). I just LOVE the new colour Copper Clay and couldn’t wait to colour the tree trunk of this card in, making it look just like an American Redwood. One of my earliest memories of childhood is of a gigantic American Redwood tree that was on the way from our house to my school, […]

What is Stamping Off? – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop Mar ’23…

The Creativity Abounds crew are focusing on the amazing Fancy Flora suite this month and I wanted to show you how to make this Two-Tone Flora card, focusing on answering that common question, what is stamping off? In short, it is a really super technique which will give you so many more options with your ink pads. I must say I absolutely love the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and love how easy it is to get real dimensional looking flowers using just one colour of ink, by ‘stamping off’. You absolutely can use these stamps with different coloured inks, too, […]

Hello and welcome to the Creativity Abound Blog Hop where today I want to show you how to make a magnetic gift card holder.
