Tricia's Stamping Creations: What's New at SU Blog Hop 2019 Holiday Catalog

Welcome to the What's New At SU Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing new products in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators as they share their projects to help inspire you ready for the holidays. We hope you will enjoy our creations this month.

Today I am showcasing the new Merry Moose Bundle (item #153015) which features the Merry Moose Photopolymer stamp set (item #150494) and coordinating Moose Punch (item #150652). When you order both of these products as a bundle, you save 10%. I paired this bundle with the Woodland Embossing Folder (item #139673) to create the textured background and the Rooted in Nature Cling stamp set (item #148217) and coordinating Nature's Roots Dies (item #146341) to create the scenery.

To create this card I started with one of my favorite new In Colors, Pretty Peacock, for the card base and I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock to create a matte for the embossed Sahara Sand cardstock layer. I inked up the Woodland Embossing Folder with Soft Suede Classic ink and embossed it using the Big Shot to create the background. I love that the ink is transferred onto the raised trees to give them more definition. I added a strip of Pretty Peacock designer series paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack (item #149617) and I used the Banner Triple Punch (item #138292) to create the banner end. I adhered this to the embossed layer with Snail Adhesive.

To create the focal image, I stamped the moose image from the Merry Moose stamp set with Early Espresso Classic ink onto a piece of Soft Suede cardstock and punched it out using the Moose Punch. I die cut a Night of Navy circle using the large circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #145372). I also die cut a Whisper White circle using the same circle die and then used one of the dies from the In The Woods Die set (item #147919) to create the snow landscape for the background. I attached this Whisper White piece to the bottom of the Night of Navy cardstock circle with Snail Adhesive.

The trees in the background were created using images from the Rooted In Nature stamp set (item #148217) stamped with Old Olive Classic ink onto Old Olive cardstock. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies from the Nature's Roots Die set (item #146341) and attached them to the focal circle along the snow horizon. Using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the moose to the circle towards the bottom. I attached the circle to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the designer series paper banner.

To add the look of snow, I used the new Snowfall Accents Puff Paint (item #150691) from the new 2019 Holiday Catalog, to the snow background and the trees. This new puff paint is amazing and a little goes a long way. You just apply it with the tip where you want to have snow and then gently heat it with your Heat Tool and watch it puff up to look like snow.

The final step is the sentiment and I stamped the image using Night of Navy Classic ink onto a scrap of Sahara Sand cardstock and die cut it using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) and sponged it with Soft Suede ink with a Sponge Dauber to distress it. Then I created the matte with a larger die from Night of Navy cardstock and layered them using Snail Adhesive. I attached it towards the bottom of card, centering it below the focal image, using Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish it off, I added a little of the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint along the top and bottom of the Sahara Sand label and heat set it create the look of snow.
