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.

Stamping With Friends Retiring Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Retiring Blog Hop as we share projects and ideas featuring products that are retiring from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team Members will be showcasing a variety of products that we are saying goodbye to and showing them some love one last time before they disappear. The products on the Last Chance Retirement List are available only while supplies last or until May 2nd, so make sure to place your order for your favorites before time runs out. 

For my card design today, I decided to showcase products from the retiring In The Wild Suite. I love cats, so this suite is one of my favorites and I am sorry to see these products retire. My design is a clean and simple card featuring the beautiful In The Wild Designer Series Paper combined with the Wild Cats Bundle. I love that there are dies in the bundle that can die cut out certain images in the designer series paper. I chose to die cut one of the beautiful tigers to create the focal image for my card. This monochromatic design would be perfect for the cat lover in your life or as a masculine birthday card.

Products Used:

Wild Cats Bundle (item #155507)

In The Wild Designer Series Paper (item #155817)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)

Evening Evergreen Cardstock (item #155574)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Evening Evergreen Cardstock

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

Sentiment Label die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Circle die cut with the Layering Circles Dies

In The Wild Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

This clean and simple card designer is easy to assemble and requires just a few supplies to create. I love the pattern of the designer series paper and how it creates the look of the jungle for the background. I die cut the tiger from the designer series paper with the coordinating die and attached it to the Basic White cardstock circle with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the Evening Evergreen scalloped circle to the back of the focal circle and attached it to the card front. The sentiment was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder onto the Evening Evergreen sentiment label and attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I chose not to add any embellishments but you could add Linen Thread to dress up the design if you wanted to step it up. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to give the retiring products on the Last Chance List another look before they say goodbye. There are so many wonderful options, some with amazing discounts, to help you with your creative needs.

Today's card design features some of my favorite retiring products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580) and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (item #148523) for creating Spring themed cards and I chose to use one of the designs from the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490) to create this pretty Thank You card. There were so many beautiful patterns to choose from that would work well with this stamp set and punch to create a variety of cards for all occasions.

This clean and simple card design works well for a variety of occasions and is easy to create.

Lately I have been taking a trip down memory lane, creating projects with some old favorites from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Today I have created a sweet clean and simple Thank You card featuring the Special Someone stamp set (item #151643) combined with the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490).

The wonderful thing about this card layout is that you can create a variety of designs by changing the designer series paper background layer and images from the stamp set. I love that the stamp set has coordinating dies which fits the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. The two step stamp set makes it easy to color the images with the coordinating stamp image. The Whisper White Tulle Polka Dot Ribbon helps step up the design and I added Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped images for a touch of shimmer and sparkle.

GSF March Blog Hop Sweets & Treats

Welcome to the GSF (aka Global Stamping Friends) March Blog Hop as we explore the theme of Sweets & Treats. You will have the opportunity to visit talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you. 

Today I am sharing a cute treat box for Easter that I created with the Love You Always Treat Boxes (item #154285) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I used the Hey Chick Birthday Bundle (item #158631) with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #152495) to decorate the box to create a fun, cheerful design. I love the size of these treat boxes and they are great for filling with candy or you can add a small gift. 

Products Used:

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle (item #158631)

Chick Dies (item #158199)

Special Day Dies (item #153587)

Measurements:

Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper 

1 piece - 2 1/2" x 3 7/8"

2 pieces - 1 1/4" x 3 7/8"

2 pieces - 1 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Basic White Cardstock

Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Piece for stamped image using the Hey Chick Bundle

Sentiment Bundle die cut with the Special Day Dies

Miscellaneous Scrap Cardstock for Grass and Flowers die cut with the Special Day Dies

Scraps of Designer Series Paper die cut with the Chick Dies for the eggs

The Love You Always Teat Boxes are a great way to create fun gifts without having to stress about creating your own box from scratch. I had so much fun decorating this cute box and chose bright, cheerful colors that work well for Spring and Easter. To decorate the top and sides of the box, I added the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. I colored the chick image with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Markers and I used the several of the dies from the Special Day Dies to create the grass, flowers and sentiment label to decorate the box. For the eggs, I used the eggs die from the Chick Dies and die cut them twice from different scraps of designer series paper to get the fun patterns so that they looked like Easter Eggs. For a touch of bling, I added small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the centers of the flowers. These boxes work for so many occasions and they are so versatile. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my treat box will help inspire you to create your own fun projects. There are so many wonderful possibilities to choose from and so many great ways to decorate them.
