Jun 18, 2022 | Birthdays, Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Casually Crafting Blog Hop! and my Oh Ale yes! Masculine Birthday card.

Casually Crafting Design Team Blog Hop

The Casually Crafting Design Team is a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world, gathered together to share our passion for creativity with you. Our focus is to bring you inspiration featuring projects that are easy to create while still packing a powerful creative punch. The projects are made with a few products, making them ideally suited to a beginner or casual crafter. From time-to-time, we may also include a project that is stepped-up for the added wow-factor

We will be sharing our ideas on the 3rd Saturday of each month and you can hop around the group and gather loads of inspiration. So grab yourself a cup of your favourite beverage, sit back & enjoy the hop!

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

This month we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge. Have you tried one? Pick a line horizontally, vertically or diagonally and use those elements to make your project. Don’t worry you can use other products, but these challenges are great for kickstarting your crafting session.

For my inspiration I chose to use the left three boxes:

Masculine
Banner
Blue

However I realised it would also fit the criteria for the bottom horizontal line. What can I say, I liked this board!!

Brewed For You stamp set

Today I am using Brewed For You Stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. A fun set of Cling stamps, based around Beer and drinking glasses

It featured on our recent TNT all Day Online Craft Retreat and was very popular.

You can still purchase the PDF and access to the Private Facebook group where we shown a number of fun projects with this stamp set over 4 classes.
