4th International Women's day 2022 - Insta Hop and FB linky party

Hello friends, first of all wish you all a very Happy Women's day!

It started as a small initiative to empower and encourage women through our papercrafts back in 2019 and today we welcome you for our 4th Annual Women's Day Hop. Each year saw us being humbled by the tremendous support and encouragement we received from our crafting community. Not only new crafters but seasoned crafters also look forward to our hop. Such enthusiasm boosts our moral!

Established brands have trusted us through years and continue to do so and we also have new brands interested in joining us, what can be more empowering than this ? We are very glad that 30+ brands are sponsoring our Hop this year and some joining the hop as Guest designers.

This year along with women empowerment, let’s also dedicate this hop towards psychological and social empowerment, as this is the need of the hour. No matter where you are and the circumstances you are in, just remember that you can always talk to people and know that you are not alone.

We are all in this together.
Along with our team we have some of our sponsors joining us for the INSTAGRAM HOP - You can start hopping from here

Winners will be selected randomly from comments left on all stops and the FB linky party. The Hop and linky party is open till 15th March 12pm GMT Winners will be announced in next couple of days, so keep an eye on the account.

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.

And going by our past experience, we promise that it is going to be all that and more!

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!
