New At SU September Blog Hop Christmas Friends Bundle

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.
