3D Paper Trimmer June Blog Hop New Annual Catalog

It's time to hop with the 3D Paper Trimmer June Blog Hop as we showcase products from the New 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with wonderful Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects.

 For my card design today, I decided to showcase the beautiful new 2020-2022 In Colors using the Scrappy Strip technique that I learned from Bruno Bertucci. I love how this technique shows how well these vibrant colors work together to create a fun card design. 

 The card base was created from a piece of Just Jade cardstock cut to 4 1/4" x  11" and scored at 5 1/2" to create a top fold card. The background layer is a piece of Basic Black cardstock cut to 5 1/4" x 4". To create the Scrappy Strip background, I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock cut to 5" x 3 3/4" as my base to attach the strips. I cut strips of each of the In Colors - Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight, so that were varied in width and angle of the cut. I attached them to the Basic Black base with adhesive so that there was an overhang at each end (the length of the strips were at least 4 1/4" long). 

I trimmed the edges so that the completed Scrappy Strip panel was 5" x 3 3/4" using my Paper Trimmer. To help make the colors pop, I attached this layer to the Basic Black background layer with adhesive. To add dimension to the card, I attached the background layer to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was created using the Hippo Happiness Bundle (item #154080) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I heat embossed the sentiment using White Embossing Powder onto a scrap of Basic Black cardstock and die cut it using one of the dies from the Hippo & Friends Die set (item #153585). I attached it to the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the butterflies, I heat embossed the butterflies onto Bumblebee and Magenta Madness cardstock with White Embossing Powder using an image from the Hippo Happiness stamp set (item #152644) and die cut them using the coordinating die from the same die set. I attached the butterflies to the card front on the top left and bottom right side of the sentiment label to add a 3D element to my card design. I love the Hippo Happiness Bundle for creating fun cards and when you order the bundle, you save 10%, which is great for your crafting budget. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own projects using products from the New Annual Catalog with your Paper Trimmer. There are so many wonderful techniques, like the Scrappy Strip technique, to explore.
