New At SU March Blog Hop Spell It Out Alphabest

Welcome to the New At SU March Blog Hop as we explore the theme, "Spell It Out" showcasing the alphabet and other word related products available from Stampin' Up! Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity and explore different ways to use these products to create your own beautiful projects.

Alphabet stamp sets are a wonderful way to personalize your projects and are especially helpful when combined with stamp sets that do not have any sentiments. For my card design today, I decided to combine the beautiful Uniquely Artistic stamp set, which is an image only stamp set, with the Alphabest Bundle, to create a uniquely beautiful Thank You card. I love the size and font of the Alphabest stamp set and the Best Label Punch coordinates perfectly to create punched out labels for each individual letter. For my color combination, I chose to use the retiring Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen with Basic White and touches of Gold embossing.

Uniquely Artistic stamp set (item #158935)

6 Letters stamped and punched out with the Alphabest Bundle

Basic White Cardstock

Card Front - 5" x 3 3/4"

This clean and simple card design has been stepped up with Gold embossing to give it an elegant touch. I stamped the Basic White card front with images from the Uniquely Artistic stamp set to create a beautiful background design. For the sentiment, I stamped each of the individual letters and with the frame around them, using the Alphabest stamp set and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder to make them pop against the Evening Evergreen cardstock. I then punched out each individual letter with the Best Label Punch and arranged them on the card front. I attached the letters with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to give the card some depth and dimension. To complete the card design, I added several Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds for a touch of bling. I love the versatility of the the Alphabest Bundle and how simple it is to create custom sentiments just by stamping and arranging the letters. This wonderful stamp set includes letters, numbers and punctuation as well as some decorative designs to help you dress up your projects.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop Expressions In Color

Welcome to the June Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas using the Expressions In Color Kit. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box.

The backgrounds in the Expressions In Color Kit are beautiful and I wanted to convert the smaller note card into a full size card design. I love the way that the new Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen In Colors look together, so I chose to create a full size card with Soft Succulent cardstock and I cut the Evening Evergreen note card base in half along the fold line to create the matte for the pretty background layer. Most of the supplies I used for this card came from the Expressions In Color kit and I added Gold embossing powder for the stamped flower images to help step up the design. 

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin June Expressions In Color Kit

Soft Succulent Cardstock (item #155776)

Metallics Embossing Powders 

(Copper, Gold, Silver - item #155555) New

Sponge Daubers (item #133773)

Measurements:

Soft Succulent Cardstock 

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

Evening Evergreen Note Card Card Base (from Kit)

Cut in half - 5" x 3 1/2"

Green Alcohol Ink Design Layer (from Kit)

This beautiful card design is a wonderful way to step up the note card in this kit to a full size card. For the focal layer, I stamped the floral image twice with Versamark ink and heat embossed the images with Gold embossing powder. To help the sentiment stand out against the decorative background, I used a Sponge Dauber and gently sponged Evening Evergreen Classic ink (from the ink spot in the kit) onto the back of the "Thanks" vellum sentiment. I attached the sentiment in the center of the decorative layer with the Mini Glue Dots from the kit. Using the Evening Evergreen Baker's Twine, I wrapped it around the bottom of the layer twice and tied a knot on the left side. I attached the layer to the Evening Evergreen layer and then attached it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added three of the sequins to the card front to finish it off. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore new possibilities with the June Paper Pumpkin kit. This kit coordinates with the wonderful Expressions In Ink Suite in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to help provide you with more wonderful options to use with this kit.
