My Favourite Projects from this year - InspireINK Blog Hop - Best of 2021 -

Hi Everyone,

Today I am hopping with the InspireINK group for the final time this year and the theme is 'Best of 2021'. Now that can be interpreted as the project that I liked the best or the one that the viewers from my Blog liked the best.  I've had a look through and the two seem to coincide really, the ones that my subscribers like the best seem to be the ones that I like a lot or am most proud of for some reason or other. So here are my Top 5 for 2021:

Hydrangea Hill Triple Panel Card

I made this one for a team Blog Hop back in February, I just loved the colours in this paper pack and I really like this style of card. It's one I have used lots of times over the years and it always looks great.

Butterfly Bouquet Joy Fold Card - Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop

https://craftykarendesigns.blogspot.com/2021/03/butterfly-bouquet-joy-fold-card-crafty.html

I also made this card for a Blog Hop back in March. Anyon who knows me, knows that I just love butterflies so you can guarantee that I will always buy sets that contain them.  I also absolutely loved the stamp set that I used for this one which was Pretty Perennials.

Floral Essence Anniversary Card - CASE a Demo - Share it on a Sunday

https://craftykarendesigns.blogspot.com/2021/04/floral-essence-anniversary-card-case.html

This one, I made for a Share it on a Sunday that I do with my best crafting buddies Donna Lester (Taffycrafting) and Victoria Littlewood (Vickieloudesigns) where we choose a theme and the three of us make a project and share it and each others projects.   I was CASEing a project from a fellow Pootler teamie (Gez Carpenter aka Nigezza Creates).

Pansy Petals Pinwheel Tower Card - Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop

https://craftykarendesigns.blogspot.com/2021/05/pansy-petals-pinwheel-tower-card-ink.html

This one is my absolute favourite from the year, I loved this one and so did my subscribers and visitors to my Blog. It has received the most views by far for this year and I just love it, it has gingham paper (another of my favourites) and cute pansies. It is so easy to do but always gives a WOW factor and my thanks go to Sam Calcott from Mixed Up Craft who introduced me to it (and many more fun fold cards too).

Penguin Place - Christmas in July - Ink stamp Share Blog Hop

https://craftykarendesigns.blogspot.com/2021/07/penguin-place-christmas-in-july-ink.html

This is my favourite stamp set for Christmas 2021, this penguin is just so cute and the fact there is a punch too - YAY!.   I think this one will feature again next Christmas as Stampin' Up! are carrying him over to next year.
