Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: May 2025 Challenge
Michelle Lupton

Welcome to a new Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero Challenge!
Our challenge for May is "Can't take my eyes off you" - we want to see cards with eyes! This could mean that you add a person to your card, a critter, a creepy crawly, or even a potato!
Our Stay Crafty design team members have created some inspiration to give you some ideas!

Guest Designer - Simeen Batra
This month, we have a guest designer - Simeen Batra!
Simeen has used the Peacock cover plate die to create this gorgeous card - she used metallic embellishments to highlight the eye and the flowers.
You can find Simeen on Instagram and on her blog. Thanks so much for being our Stay Crafty guest for May, Simeen!

In April, our Stay Crafty challenge theme was "Opposites Attract" and our gallery was full of creative cards with amazing colour contrast and symmetrical images!
