New At SU March Blog Hop Spell It Out Alphabest

Welcome to the New At SU March Blog Hop as we explore the theme, "Spell It Out" showcasing the alphabet and other word related products available from Stampin' Up! Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity and explore different ways to use these products to create your own beautiful projects.

Alphabet stamp sets are a wonderful way to personalize your projects and are especially helpful when combined with stamp sets that do not have any sentiments. For my card design today, I decided to combine the beautiful Uniquely Artistic stamp set, which is an image only stamp set, with the Alphabest Bundle, to create a uniquely beautiful Thank You card. I love the size and font of the Alphabest stamp set and the Best Label Punch coordinates perfectly to create punched out labels for each individual letter. For my color combination, I chose to use the retiring Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen with Basic White and touches of Gold embossing.

This clean and simple card design has been stepped up with Gold embossing to give it an elegant touch. I stamped the Basic White card front with images from the Uniquely Artistic stamp set to create a beautiful background design. For the sentiment, I stamped each of the individual letters and with the frame around them, using the Alphabest stamp set and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder to make them pop against the Evening Evergreen cardstock. I then punched out each individual letter with the Best Label Punch and arranged them on the card front. I attached the letters with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to give the card some depth and dimension. To complete the card design, I added several Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds for a touch of bling. I love the versatility of the the Alphabest Bundle and how simple it is to create custom sentiments just by stamping and arranging the letters. This wonderful stamp set includes letters, numbers and punctuation as well as some decorative designs to help you dress up your projects.
