Vibrant Colors and Background Dies!

Vibrant Colors and Background Dies!

Hi Crafty Meraki Friends, Aly here, and I am so excited to be a guest designer on the Crafty Meraki blog for the month of January. For my first card, I wanted to make a Valentine's Card but with vibrant rainbow colors. Come see how I made it! 

When I saw this background die, I just knew I could use it in so many different ways. To start, I ink-blended an A2 sized rainbow background using Rina K's Electro Pop inks on white cardstock. I wanted BOLD colors! I splattered some white gouache and Perfect Pearl on the background as well for some shimmer. Then I cut down the panel a bit and glued it onto an A2 sized white notecard. 

Next, I die-cut the Crafty Meraki Eccentric Hearts background die from white cardstock. I wanted more of the vibrant background to be on display, so I cut out the heart strips and glued only 5 of them on the front card panel. 

After my background was finished, I needed a focal point for my card. When I first saw the images from the Crafty Meraki Birds of Paradise stamp set, I knew immediately I wanted to use the image that looks like a mommy parrot hugging a baby parrot as a Valentine's Card or Mother's Day card. I stamped this image on a heart diecut with black ink as well as the sentiment "Love You" which I got from the Crafty Meraki Love FURever stamp set. I colored in the image with Prismacolor pencils in colors that I tried to match to the background. I also lightly ink blended around the edges of the heart with the leftover ink that was on my blender brushes. 

Because I take so much time making my cards, I have an obsession with decorating the inside of my cards as well as the envelopes. For the envelope, I stamped some of the images from the Birds of Paradise and Love FURever stamp sets in black ink. For the inside of the card, I ink-blended with the same colors along the right edge of the card, glued one last strip of white hearts from the Eccentric Hearts background die, and stamped a little butterfly in black. 

I had so much fun making this card. This card design has a lot of potential to be remade just with different colors or different focal images. I hope that you have enjoyed my first post and that I inspired you in some way today. I wish you all the most magical and crafty day!

I never imagined I’d fall victim to a scam. I always thought I was cautious. But one mistake just one moment of trust in the wrong place cost me $133,000. It started with what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity I found online. The website looked professional, the customer service was prompt, and the profits seemed slow but steady. I didn’t dump everything in at once. I tested the waters. The first few withdrawals went smoothly, and that’s what got me hooked. Then came the rug pull. I tried to withdraw my money, and suddenly everything changed. My account was frozen, support went silent, and the website eventually disappeared altogether. I was devastated. That was years of savings college funds, medical bills, rent money. I was too ashamed to tell my family. I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for being so stupid. The weight of losing $133,000 was suffocating. I tried everything filed reports with my bank, spoke to the police, and even reported it to financial watchdogs. Everyone was sympathetic, but nobody could actually do anything. It felt hopeless until someone mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. After everything, I had zero trust in anyone. But I was desperate, and I had nothing left to lose. From the first call, the team at Malice Cyber Recovery was professional, understanding, and brutally honest. They didn’t promise miracles they promised effort. And they delivered. They tracked down the digital footprints, coordinated with international crypto exchanges, and used some kind of dark web forensics I still don’t understand. Within six weeks, I got the email I’d been praying for: We’ve recovered your funds. When the money hit my account, I broke down crying. All $133,000 every single dollar was back. I didn’t just recover my finances I recovered my peace, my dignity, and my future. I know what it’s like to feel helpless. If you’re reading this and you’ve lost money online, don’t give up. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me a second chance, and they might just do the same for you.

In the shadowy depths of the blockchain, where fortunes vanish in a flash, hope seemed lost for me. It was a crisp autumne day August 16 2025 in when I, Fahad Khaled, poured 65,500 euro into Bitcoin my ticket to early retirement. A slick phishing site lured me in; one wrong click, and my wallet was gutted. The thief’s trail snaked through mixers and anonymous exchanges, untraceable, or so the cops claimed. Forums buzzed with the same dirge: Crypto’s gone forever." My world crumbled bills piled up, dreams deferred. Scrolling Forum in despair, a thread caught my eye: “Hire Cyber Codex Revolution they saved my ETH!” Skeptical, I dug deeper. Testimonials flooded in from folks like Noya Yonatan, who clawed back $300,000 in Ethereum, and Helena Vladimir, reclaiming $220,000 in BTC.  with results. I fired off an email to [email protected].They replied within hours: “We’re the revolution in blockchain forensics. Send your tx hash—we’ll trace it. Their squad elite coders, and sharp ethical hackers  dived in. Proprietary tools peeled back layers of obfuscation, spotting the funds on a shady DEX. Lead confirmed,”they texted. They activated global partnerships, slamming a freeze order with bulletproof evidence. Legal hounds hounded offshore entities; negotiations cracked like ice under pressure. Seventy-two hours of nail-biting wait, then ping! My secure wallet lit up: 12,500 euros in BTC, pristine and whole.

Hiring Cyber Codex Revolution wasn’t a gamble; it was genius. They didn’t just recover my stash—they coded justice into the chaos. If you’re staring at an empty ledger, hire them now.

I’ve been in crypto for a few years though not a complete beginner, but definitely not a pro. Over time, I built up a decent portfolio, mostly stablecoins like USDT, spread across Ethereum, BSC, and occasionally Tron. I knew enough to move things around confidently… or so I thought. One night, I was transferring $180,000 worth of USDT from my Ethereum wallet to what I thought was my Binance Smart Chain wallet. I copied the BSC address from Trust Wallet, pasted it into MetaMask, and hit send. Gas fee confirmed, transaction successful. Then it hit me. I had sent ERC-20 tokens to a BEP-20 address—same string, sure, but completely different networks. The USDT was gone. Not stolen, not failed—just stuck. Sitting on the Ethereum blockchain, locked in a wallet address I couldn’t access on that chain. And since it was technically a valid transaction, there was no way to cancel or reverse it. I spent the next two days in full crisis mode on Reddit threads, YouTube tutorials, random Telegram “experts.” Most people said the funds were unrecoverable. A few hinted at some complicated “maybe” solutions, but none of that gave me any confidence. MetaMask couldn’t help, Binance said it was out of their control, and even a few friends of mine said I was probably out of luck. Then someone in a crypto dev group mentioned a company called SpyHost Cybersecurity Company. I’d never heard of them before, but the way they talked about them—it wasn’t like your typical “we recover your funds” type of service. This sounded more serious, like real professionals. From the first interaction, it felt different. They weren’t asking dumb questions or throwing out vague promises. I was assigned a case manager. And very possible—if handled right. Turns out, since I controlled both the Ethereum wallet (that sent the funds) and the BSC wallet (where I intended to receive them), they could use that to construct a custom recovery transaction. SpyHost had built their own internal tools to deal with this exact kind of issue—cases where tokens are trapped between chains but tied to the same address. And after about 72 hours, just like they said, the USDT hit my wallet( The full $180,000) What impressed me the most wasn’t just that they recovered the funds—it was how they handled the entire process. Professional, secure, detailed. Since then, I’ve recommended SpyHost Cybersecurity Company to anyone even remotely involved in crypto. Whether you’re a trader, investor, or just holding some coins for the long haul—if you ever find yourself in a mess like I was, these are the people you want in your corner and they can be reached out to through their official E-mail address which is (Spyhost@cyberdude. com)

A few months ago, I fell victim to what I thought was a promising trading opportunity. The platform looked professional, the representatives sounded convincing, and I truly believed I was investing in a legitimate operation. Over time, I deposited more and more into my account until the balance reached $80,000 worth of Bitcoin. Then everything collapsed, When I tried to withdraw my funds, the so-called support team kept stalling with excuses, system upgrades, verification delays, and finally silence. My login stopped working altogether. That’s when it hit me: I had been scammed. I felt sick. Not only was it my hard earned money, but it was also in Bitcoin, which I thought was irreversible once stolen. After days of despair and searching online, I stumbled across Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, a firm specializing in recovering funds from crypto scams.  At first, I was skeptical. After being burned so badly, trusting anyone else felt impossible. But their transparency, professional communication, and case-by-case explanation gave me confidence. They didn’t promise miracles, they explained the process, and the realistic chances of recovery. I decided to give it a chance. Dexdert’s team immediately got to work, tracing the blockchain trail of my stolen Bitcoin.
