I am happy to be participating once again in the Crafty Collaborations Share It Sunday Blog Hop. You will be inspired by all of the different styles in this blog hop, so be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post. 

New Colors, New stamps & Fun! 

I had a lot of fun making this diagonal fold card with it's inside pop-up surprise element. And even better, I used some brand new products to make it! The CIRCLE SAYINGS stamp & circle punch bundle and the BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL Designer Series Paper will be available in just 2 days on May 2nd in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. 

And did you know that there is a color refresh in the new catalog? There are 10 of the 11 new & returning colors shown in this fun 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. 

Watch my how-to video to see all the designs in this fun pack of DSP; plus the measurements and step-by-step instructions for making this card.

Season of Chic - Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop -Autumn

 

Autumn/Fall is the theme of this month's Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. As you hop around to all of the participants, I'm sure you will find some great inspiration from several talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators! 

Autumn is my favorite Season 

I decided to use the fabulous multi-occasion SEASON OF CHIC Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) which is part of the TEXTURE CHIC Suite of products. This suite of products also includes the pretty TEXTURE CHIC Specialty Designer Paper (DSP) and the DISTRESSED GOLD Specialty Paper. With such beautiful products, how can you not make a gorgeous card?

Now I'm going to tell you a couple of tips to get the most of your products. 

When you want to mat your DSP with another color---like this DISTRESSED GOLD Specialty Paper---and also use that paper as a layer on another element, be sure to punch out what you need from the layer before attaching your DSP on top. 
This gives you optimal use of your paper. 

To give your punched focal element a matching layer with the same punch: 

1. take your punched layer and cut it in half in the middle.
2. attach the top half of your punched piece to the top of your stamped focal punch
3. attach the bottom half of your punched piece to the bottom of your stamped focal image

Your finished image will look like the one in the close up picture shown below. 

To give my card the desired fall season look, I stamped the detailed leaf images in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I stamped the more solid leaf image in 3 colors---Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede (stamped off once)---on top of the detailed stamped leaf. The leaves were then die cut with the coordinating CHIC Dies. 

I embellished my card with EARLY ESPRESSO FAUX SUEDE TRIM (tied in a knot rather than a bow) and the BRUSHED METALLIC DOTS.

Here's a final look at my Autumn-themed card project:

Splendid Thoughts - Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

 

A Splendidly Interpreted Card Sketch

I'm participating in this month's Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. For participating in this hop we were challenged with creating a project based on this sketch by Stefanie Pletscher, The Crafty Medic. What a fun sketch! Be sure to hop around to all of the blogs on the list to see everyone's interpretation. You'll be glad you did! 

I really like how this sketch easily features both the shimmer and matte sides of the SPLENDID DAY Designer Series Paper. The SPLENDID THOUGHTS stamp and die Bundle and the SOFT SEA FOAM SEAM BINDING Ribbon really showcases the beautiful coordinating products in the SPLENDID DAY Suite. Additionally, I used the TIMBER 3D Embossing Folder to give this card some additional texture. (Scroll down below for all of the products used). 

Below are links to the "how to" video (including measurements in both inches and centimeters) that I published on YouTube for creating my project, and for how to tie my favorite faux bow that I used on this card.
