3rd International Women's Day Blog Hop- 2021

A BIG Hello and a very warm  welcome to our 3rd International Women's Day Blog Hop (2021).

We are delighted to have you here and we are so excited to get this hop started!

Before we begin, we would like to wish you all a very 

Happy Women's Day!

We have a dynamite line up of talented artists with beautiful projects to share with you! Now all you need to do is quickly grab your favorite cup of beverage and simply sit back to enjoy this long post where we walk you through everything you need to know to participate, stand a chance to win and most importantly, ENJOY this first-of-its-kind blog hop, the main motive of which is to encourage and empower women to become the best version of themselves.

If you have been following our updates from the last few days, you may already be aware that the force behind this phenomenal blog hop is a group of 10 women, who are exceptionally talented card makers having unique personalities and crafting styles. Thanks to the individual introduction posts, it may seem that you know each of them a little already, right? :) 

As we all know, last year has been exceptionally challenging for everyone owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially so for the women for the multiple hats they don during their lifetime. Despite our personal challenges, we feel happy that ten of us have worked very hard to make this blog hop as inspiring and as interesting as possible for all of you. And going by our past experience, we promise that it is going to be all that and more!

When: Starting today March 8 - March 15, 2021

Where: On our Blog: Women-beyoutifullyyou

             On our Instagram page: @women.beyoutifully.you

 Theme:  Cards related to encouragement/empowerment for women

Now, about our generous sponsors. Our hop wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the support extended by 40 craft supply/stamp companies from various parts of the world who have gracefully come forward to offer their generous sponsorship.  We have some BRAND NEW Sponsors and a lot of returning sponsors!  As always, we are floored by the generosity of this AWESOME Paper Crafting Community!

Further, we are delighted to have two talented gentlemen supporting this hop as Guest Designers and spreading the message of inclusivity, mutual empowerment and oneness in creative expression. Thank you Alberto Gava and Joe Sysavath for accepting our invitation to be a part of this hop.

 Hey Hi Crafty peeps,

SathyaKala here and after an Awesome intro by Rahmat, am here to continue the tradition of our Introduction series. And it's such a pleasure to introduce to you, Anila Dikay of Novel Ideas.

 Anila Dikay is passionately a crafter and professionally an Interior Designer. She lives with her husband and a son in Mumbai. She worked in the Interior Designing field for 6 -7 years before entering this Crafting world. And she also worked in a reputed School in Mumbai as an Art & Craft Teacher for Primary kids. She actively blogs at 'Novel Ideas' about all Papercrafts but she technically breathe Cards. 

From Cardmaking to Tags, Decoupage to Mixemedia panels, You name it and she would have tried her hands on it! She is well known for her minimalistic approaches in Crafting yet her CAS cards are so eclectic in its own style.

Rainbow is her language and definitely Yellow has a greater wavelength in her Colour Spectrum. Her insta gallery is just an evident for that. Her FB live, Live workshops, Youtube tutorials are with excellent effortless renditions, that shows her passion for Teaching.

Unicorns, Rainbows, Critters, Florals and Butterflies rules her world and her Insta feed instantly lifts everyone's mood with such Sweet and Happy colours. Her aesthetic colour and design sense, finesse with which she handles her projects screams her strong Interior Designing Skills. I highly recommend you all to view her recent Monogram Youtube video, you will be sure to be bowled over by her Hand cut stencil topped with floral pattern. And not to miss her tutorial on Super cute Mini Album. She shares her knowledge so generously. 

Our Fellow-Teamie, rightly called her as Social Butterfly. 

Yes!! Butterfly goes wherever it pleases and pleases wherever it goes. She just spreads the joy of Papercrafting wherever she goes and has beautifully carved a niche in this Crafting World.

It wouldn't suffice, if I miss this end note. 

This Bloghop is the seed of thought of this Lovely Crafter!!!

Right from forming this 10 members Team to all the Blog, Insta write up, Discussions, Sponsors' mails, Checking on Prizes delivery and every bit of Blog hop needs were so meticulously taken care of by her.

It's SO Wonderful be on this Team with such a Talented, Dedicated artist.

Would love you all to check out her Social media handles:
