Stamping Friends Sneak Peeks July Blog Hop July-December Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration

Welcome to the Stamping Friends Sneak Peeks July Blog Hop as we showcase projects using products from the upcoming July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 August-September Sale-a-bration Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

New catalogs means amazing new products and it was tough choosing which new products to use for my card design today. I decided to mix and match with the Delicate Dahlias stamp set from the 2021 August-September Sale-a-bration Catalog and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I love how these products combine to add wonderful texture to this Summer Thank You card. To complete the card design, I chose to use my favorite Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Tailor Made Tags Dies to create the layers to frame the stamped images. The colors I chose included Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla with a touch of gold.

I had so much fun playing with the images in the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. For the background, I chose the solid leaves and flower images to stamp a tone on tone design using Pear Pizzazz ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock. Next I embossed the layer with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and then lightly sponged the raised areas with Crumb Cake Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber. I attached the Pear Pizzazz layer to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer and then attached them to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the focal layer, I stamped the solid large floral image with Bumblebee Classic ink onto the Very Vanilla label and then stamped the line image over the top with Soft Suede Classic ink. I layered it onto the scalloped rectangle label die cut from Soft Suede cardstock and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment label, I stamped the sentiment image with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto the Very Vanilla Tag and added the Soft Suede accent around the hole. I layered it onto the Soft Suede tag, slightly askew, and tied a piece of Linen Thread through the holes with a bow. I attached them to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the finishing touch, I added Gilded Gems to the focal layer and the Soft Suede tag to step up the design. While I chose colors that work for late Summer, you could easily change the look and feel of this card design by changing the colors to suit the season and person you want to receive it. Both the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder will be available beginning August 3rd and I would recommend adding them to your creative collection.
