Casually Crafting - June 2023 Blog Hop / Stamping With Melva

Casually Crafting - June 2023 Blog Hop

Saturday, 17 June 2023

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we're sharing projects based on a sketch. I love sketch challenges and this one was fun. I used the Inked and Tiled Bundle for my card. This punch bundle includes a beautiful stamp set and the suite collection includes Designer Series Paper that is so pretty. First, check out the sketch.

Now, here's the card I made.

Stamp flowers randomly on card base using Lost Lagoon ink

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.

Check out my very first ever Instagram Reel where I made this card! I know its going fast, but with the written instructions and reel, hopefully this card is easy to put together. You can follow me on Instagram and see my cards and more of my reels!
