New At SU June Blog Hop Hues of Happiness Suite

Welcome to the New at SU June Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing Suites in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore the wonderful variety of suites that Stampin' Up! has to share.

The Hues of Happiness Suite is perfect for creating beautifully detailed cards and I love the pretty colors in the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The Blossoming Happiness Dies coordinate with several of the flowers and leaves images from this paper pack to make it easy to create wonderful designs without having to fussy cut. For my card design, I chose to use Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia and Basic White along with the die cut flowers and leaves which included Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green. I love the detail the dies created for the background and the notebook look of the focal image. This was a fun card to create and this design would work for a variety of occasions.

Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper

Flowers and leaves die cut with the Blossoming Happiness Dies

With this pretty card design, the Blossoming Happiness Dies do all the hard work. I used them to create the detail for the Fresh Freesia cardstock background, the detailed edge for the Basic White cardstock layer and to die cut the individual flowers and leaves from the designer series paper. The only stamping required for this card is the sentiment on the Basic White cardstock layer, which is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I used Gorgeous Grape Classic ink to stamp it towards the top to allow room for the flowers and leaves towards the bottom right corner. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the largest flower and attached the remaining flowers and leaves so that they layer underneath. To embellish the card, I used three of the Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and two small pieces of the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon that I frayed and attached underneath the large flower with Mini Glue Dots. I love the texture and sparkle that the ribbon adds to the design.

Global Stamping Friends May Blog Hop A Mother's Love

It's time to hop along with the Global Stamping Friends May Blog Hop as we celebrate A Mother's Love. With Mother's Day just a few days away, it seems like the perfect time to showcase cards for the wonderful women in our lives. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.

One of my favorite things about a new catalog, is the opportunity to combine new products with old favorites. One of my favorite new bundles is the Happiness Abounds Bundle with its beautiful floral images and wonderful sentiments and the coordinating dies to make life easier. I combined the line images from this stamp set with the background image from the Artistically Inked stamp set, which is one of my favorites, to create color variation and texture for the images. The beautiful sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set, which is a wonderful sentiment collection perfect for a variety of occasions. As you know, I love adding gold details to my card designs, and for this beautiful card I added Gold embossing for he images and Gold Foil for the frame of the circle die cut opening on the front of the card.

Circle Frame die cut with the Stylish Frames Dies

This pretty card design is all about textures and layers. I created a window in the center of the card front using the Stylish Shapes Dies and framed it with Gold foil for a touch of elegance. The background was embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and I love the vintage look it gives to the card. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto the front of the card base so that it was at the top of the window opening. To create the flowers, I stamped the background image from the Artistically Inked stamp set with Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia and Blushing Bride Classic inks onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then heat embossed the flower images with Gold embossing powder. I repeated the same process for the leaves using Granny Apple Green, Parakeet Party and Soft Sea Foam inks and heat embossed the leaves with Gold embossing. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies and then arranged them around the bottom half of the circle. I attached the flowers with Stampin' Dimensionals and adhered the leaves with Stampin' Seal Adhesive. To complete the design, I added several of the Brushed Brass Butterflies, one of my favorite embellishments.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful cards for the special women in your life. There are so many wonderful possibilities in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog to explore.
