Welcome to our last New At SU Blog Hop for 2023 as we showcase projects using a Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla Color Challenge. Our Design Team will be creating projects using these two colors with the option that we may add one more color. I am excited to see what everyone creates this month to help inspire you.
For my card design today, I thought I would give you a Sneak Peek of some new products from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, which will launch January 4th, 2024. When I think of Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla together, I think of vintage designs and so I chose to add some Gold embossing to add to this theme. I have paired the ne Notes of Nature Bundle, which is perfect for collage style stamping, with the new Perennial Postage Bundle, which is fast becoming a new favorite for sentiments. Creating this card was quite a challenge for me as I am not used to using just neutrals for my designs, but I love how this card turned out and I hope it brings joy to the person receiving it.

This was such a fun card to create and I loved using the new Notes of Nature stamp set to create the background design for my card front. Before stamping, I used the decorative edge die from the Notes of Nature Dies to create the look of a notebook page. To give the design depth and dimension, I used 1st and 2nd generation stamping (full strength and stamping off once), using Crumb Cake Classic ink with a variety of the images from the Notes of Nature stamp set to create the different layers of color. The collage style background is perfect for a vintage themed design. I heat embossed two of the more delicate images using Gold embossing powder to add an elegant look to the design. I gently sponged the edges with Crumb Cake Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber to add a distressed feel to the card front. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Perennial Postage stamp set onto Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating Perennial Postage Dies. I dipped the edges of the sentiment label into my Versamark Pad and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder to create a vintage look. Using several of the detailed dies from the Notes of Nature Dies, I die cut a variety of foliage from Crumb Cake cardstock to add behind the sentiment label. For the finishing touch, I added several Gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins to the card front to coordinate with the Gold embossing.
