His and Her's - Let's Get Hopping Blog Hop

Today the Let's Get Hopping team bring you a bunch of 'his & hers' inspired projects. Many people find it hard to bring a masculine feel to a card so we're showing you that with the same layout and a few tweaks you can nail it too!

I'm excited to show you my first play with the Waterfront stamp set. Inspired by the beautiful work of Kim Jolley, I wanted to give a playful and fresh feel to build on the arty vibe of the set. So I mixed it with a favourite set of mine - Pieces and Patterns. Quite a modern take on a Valentines card right?

  2. Wow! These are absolute jaw droppers! I love the bold, brightness of the Island Indigo card... And that the Pool Party card looks like a tranquil Caribbean Sea... I just want to jump right in!

  4. Wonderful cards! I love the doily just peeking underneath. Isn't it amazing how changing just a couple of elements and colors totally changes a card? Well done!

  9. Another two amazing cards, Susan! What a big difference the littlest changes make... color, washi to doily, and a bit of bakers twine with sequins. Brilliant and beautiful! TFS!!
