Creativity Abounds - Masculine Blog Hop / Stamping With Melva

Creativity Abounds - Masculine Blog Hop

Wednesday, 21 April 2021

Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world who are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can inspire you to make creations of your own.

You may be starting here or you may have come from someone else's blog - either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed - so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin' Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin' Up!® teams.

Here's our amazing Creativity Abounds Design Team!

The theme for our blog hop this month is the Masculine projects. All of our projects are perfect for that a man in your life, but you can switch them up and use the ideas to create projects for anyone. Just change the colours or Designer Series Paper! I created this Mini Bendi Card using the World of Good Designer Series Paper and Soaring Confidently Stamp Set. It's sad to think that the World of Good Designer Series Paper is retiring on May 3rd! If you love it as much as I do, you'll want to order some before it's gone!
