BE INSPIRED | CLEAN & SIMPLE

The Be Inspired Design Team is hopping today, and our theme this month is "Clean & Simple"! I can’t wait to see the creative ideas the rest of the team has come up with. Make sure to hop around and check out all the inspiring projects shared by this talented group. You’ll find our usual Be Inspired Team blog hop here on the blog, and this month we’re also taking part in an Instagram Hop. If you’d like to see the projects over on Instagram, you’re very welcome to join us there too. Come hop on Instagram with me @stampingbeautynz . Clean and simple doesn’t have to mean plain.

THANK YOU CARD | FACEBOOK LIVE

This week’s card was created live during my Wednesday night Facebook Live, and it features the beautiful Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection . I was drawn to the soft blue tones paired with delicate gold detailing — it’s such a timeless combination and perfect for a heartfelt thank you card. The floral image has been coloured with Stampin' Blends to give it that gentle, watercolour feel, while the gold accents add just the right touch of elegance. Cards like this remind me why I love creating live — sharing ideas, chatting while I craft, and showing how simple techniques can come together to create something special. If you missed the live, I hope this project inspires you to pull out your stamps and create something beautiful of your own. You can watch the full tutorial on my YouTube channel — just click the link below to see how it all came together step by step. I’d love to know what you think, and if you give it a go, be sure to share your version with me! If you’d like th...
