Creativity Abounds Blog Hop - April 2025 - Techniques

Creativity Abounds Blog Hop - April 2025 - Techniques

• Wednesday, 16 April 2025

Time for another 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!  

This month we're sharing techniques. The technique I chose was Stained Glass.  I'm sharing 2 projects I made using this technique and you can get a 3rd version when you purchase the tutorial from my Tutorial Store.  You'll get 13 different techniques in tutorial - what an amazing deal!

Here are the cards I created using the Friends For Life bundle from the Annual Catalogue.  This bundle is going away in May so you'll want to grab it in my Online Store before it's gone!

My first card uses Petunia Pop, Petal Pink and Pretty in Pink.

My second card uses Granny Apple Green, Basic Black Garden Green and and Lemon Lime Twist.

Which is your favourite? Want to learn how to make these cards?  Purchase the tutorial.

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

Now it's time to be inspired by all of the Projects in our Blog Hop!
