Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 38 - Shaded Spruce

It's time for Week 39 of the Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Shaded Spruce from the Regals Collection. This gorgeous dark green is so versatile and I love using it for the holidays.

One of my favorite new embossing folders from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog would have to be the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. I love all the wonderful detail created by this embossing folder and I wanted to use it to create my background design for my card. The focal image has been created using the Greetings of the Season Bundle and I love how the Gold embossing pops against the Shaded Spruce label. Instead of using Basic White, I chose to use Soft Sea Foam to add contrast to my design. I love how these two greens look together to create this beautiful Christmas card.

Products Used:

Greetings of the Season Bundle (item #164113)

Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder (item #164026)

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5 1/4" x 4"

Matte Label die cut with the Greetings of the Season Dies

This wonderful clean and simple holiday card is easy to create with just a few supplies. I started by embossing the card front using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the design. I attached it to the Soft Sea Foam cardstock layer and then added it to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Gold embossing powder onto the Shaded Spruce sentiment label. I then layered it onto a larger label die cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the card design, I added two of the Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots to the sentiment label for a touch of bling.

Welcome to the New At SU September Blog Hop as we showcase bundles from the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. Our Design Team is excited to share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the holidays and beyond with these amazing new products.

One of my favorite things to do at this time of the year is to create Christmas cards. There is something about the cooler weather of Fall that puts me in a festive mood. For today's card, I chose to use the new Christmas Friends Bundle paired with the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper to create this beary sweet Christmas card. I chose to use Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and background circle to help make the designer series card front pop. I added some texture to the background circle with the new Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder to help step up the design. This clean and simple Christmas card is so cute and really helped me to get into the spirit of the holiday season.

The Christmas Friends Bundle is one of my favorites from the new mini catalog and I couldn't wait to create a card design with it. I love how the Sentimental Christmas Designer Paper provides the perfect background for the sweet bear image. To add a little shimmer to the card design, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the embossed trees to help them stand out. I colored the bear image with an assortment of Stampin' Blends Markers to help bring him to life. For the sentiment label, I stamped the image with Pretty Peacock Classic ink and die cut the sentiment with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To complete the card design, I colored two of the small Iridescent Pearls with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the sentiment label for a touch of bling.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 37 - Crushed Curry

Happy Friday everyone. This week we are showcasing Crushed Curry from the Regals Collection for Week 37 of the Monochromatic Color Challenge. This gorgeous yellow is perfect for Fall, so I thought I would create a beautiful clean and simple card design to celebrate the new season.

For today's design, I chose to use the new Autumn Expressions Bundle, one of my new favorites from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I paired it with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to add some subtle texture to the background layer. This card design is all about Crushed Curry with just a touch of Gold Foil to help step up the design.

Products Used:

Autumn Expressions Bundle (item #164056)

Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (item #159847)

Crushed Curry Cardstock (item #115319)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pad (item #147087)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Blender Pens (item #102845)

Measurements:

Crushed Curry Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Label stamped & die cut with the Autumn Expressions Bundle

2 Leaves stamped & die cut with the Autumn Expressions Bundle

Gold Foil Sheets

Detailed Leaves die cut with the Autumn Expressions Dies

This beautiful clean and simple card design showcases the versatility of this wonderful yellow. I love the tone on tone design created with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder which adds subtle texture to the background. I stamped the two leaves using Crushed Curry Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and used a Blender Pen to blend the ink to add soft color to the leaves. I die cut them out using the coordinating dies as well as the detailed leaves from a piece of Gold Foil. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Crushed Curry Classic ink onto the Basic White label. I love the contrast between the Crushed Curry card front and the Basic White sentiment label to help bring this design to life. This card design would work well for a variety of occasions including Thanksgiving.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using Crushed Curry in your future projects, especially for Fall. There are so many wonderful possibilities for you to try.

I have fallen in love with the new Splendid Autumn 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper and all the beautiful designs that help celebrate this wonderful time of the year. They are perfect for creating lovely clean and simple card designs for all occasions and are easy to create with just a few supplies.

This beautiful clean and simple card design is perfect for sending to someone just to let them know you are thinking of them.

For the sentiment, I chose the sentiments from the More Than Autumn stamp set and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder onto a Basic White circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies. I added the sentiment to the bottom left corner with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the finishing touch, I added a simple Linen Thread bow. I love the simplicity of this card design and I think it would be fun to create a stash of cards with the designs in this paper pack to have on hand for all occasions.

When I saw this month's theme, it made me think of nostalgia and reminiscing about fun memories. With the new Mix & Match Ephemera Packs in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, I thought it would be fun to create a clean and simple Christmas card that reminds me of the old fashioned designs that I remember from years past. The Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are filled with old style holiday images and beautiful sentiments that make creating your own unique Christmas cards fun.

All you have to do is choose which images and sayings you want to use to decorate your cards and tags.
