ICS August Blog Hop Happy Anniversary

Welcome to our very special ICS August Blog Hop as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary. I was honored to be invited to join this amazing Design Team over 5 years ago and I have loved every minute of this creative journey with such talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. To help celebrate this occasion, we will be sharing our projects and ideas with the theme of anniversary to help inspire you.

Anniversary cards celebrate a special event, so I thought I would create an elegant clean and simple card design using the new Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder from the Online Exclusives. I love how the embossing folder and coordinating dies work together to add wonderful detail. For my color palette, I chose to use the new 2024-2026 In Color, Summer Splash, paired with Pool Party and Gold accents. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set, also from the Online Exclusives, to finish off this beautiful card design.

This simply beautiful card focuses on the wonderful texture created by the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder combined with the exquisitely detailed Gold foil leaves created with the coordinating dies. I love the way the Pool Party card front pops against the Summer Splash card base. I chose Gold embossing for the sentiment on the Summer Splash sentiment strip to coordinate with the Gold leaves and added several Gold pearls to complete the design.
