New At SU September Blog Hop Shine, Shimmer & Glow September-December 2023 Mini Catalog

Welcome to the New At SU September Blog Hop as we explore this month's theme "Shine, Shimmer & Glow with the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog". It's a fun way to explore the wonderful new products in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog with a bit of a twist. Our talented Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to get creative.
For my card design, I wanted to show how the Translucent Florals Bundle could be used to create a beautiful Fall themed birthday card. I chose colors that had a distinctive Fall feel to them including Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso. For my touch of shimmer, I used a piece of the Wild Wheat Luster Specialty Paper for the background and I embossed it with the new Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder to add some wonderful texture. For the base of my floral design, I die cut a circle using the new Deckled Circles Dies and I love how the Copper Clay cardstock peeks through the floral design to add depth and dimension.  This was a color combination I had not tried before and I really love how these colors work together to create that warm Fall feeling.

For this card design, I wanted to let the different colors be the focus of this card design. The Wild Wheat Luster Specialty Paper adds a soft shimmer to the background the provides the perfect background for the flowers. I love how the Calypso Coral and Copper Clay flowers look together and the Wild Wheat leaves add a wonderful contrast without overpowering the design. For the centers of the large Copper Clay flowers, I added centers die cut from the Wild Wheat Luster Specialty Paper to help step up the design. To add a little more detail and texture, I die cut 3 of the detailed foliage die cuts from Wild Wheat cardstock and sponged them with Copper Clay Classic ink using a sponge dauber to add a touch of dimension to the design. The sentiment was heat embossed with Gold embossing powder onto an Early Espresso label and I tucked the left side underneath the floral layers so that the right side lines up with the edge of the card front. To complete the card design, I added several Pebbled Path Dots. I love how this all came together and I am excited to see how the Translucent Florals Bundle will look with other color combinations.
