New at SU!- Wild Wheat, So Refreshing

May 17, 2023May 17, 20234 Comments

Welcome to the May 2023 New at SU! blog hop! As is our tradition with a new annual Stampin’ Up! catalog and the 2023-2025 IN COLORS (shown under our updated banner, above), we are here to help you fall in love with these hues!

I chose to use the In Color I liked **the least** to show you that it really can create a beautiful color scheme. Wild Wheat contrasts beautifully with Berry Burst (a returning core color I adore) and Bubble Bath (a NEW core color!).

My mini slimline card – finished size 6.25″ x 3.5″- uses the So Refreshing bundle that I had to collect to show off my creative juice (literally). It’s a clean card design accented by silver sparkles in the edge of the ribbon and rhinestone accents.

To get the plaid on the picnic blanket, I lightly tapped my Bubble Bath ink pad over the blanket die (included in the bundle) before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine, then sponged the same color onto the tassels when it was cut out.

Wild Wheat is a GLUTEN-FREE color, so don’t be afraid to try it! I found my color palette in the 2023-2025 In Color Chart below, which you can download and print for reference.

New at SU!- An Irresistible C.A.S.E.

April 19, 2023April 18, 20233 Comments

As we wind down the 2022-2023 catalog, the New at SU! global design team wanted to show you how your catalogs (and mini catalogs!) are a TREASURE TROVE of inspiration! We are CASING (CASE = Copy And Stamp Everything) the January-April mini catalog to show you that the samples can give you a jumping off point for your own original designs.

I chose to copy the layout of this slimline Sea Turtle card on page 29 of the J-A Mini catalog:

This is my version, using stamps, dies and paper from the Hello, Irresistible Suite, with a twist on the color combination:

Are you getting the idea of how to turn a picture of a sample card into your own creation?

This slimline card is 7″ x 6″, scored along the 7″ side at 3.5″ and fits into a regular envelope (stamped, of course).

I thought the Soft Sea Foam leafy Designer Series Paper paired sweetly with Fresh Freesia 3-D flowers! There are two sizes of flower stamps in the set, so I stamped and die cut both sizes, then fussy cut out the center of another to scrunch up and layer on top of each other.

Add soft sponging to the leaves, a heat embossed greeting and pretty details like ribbon & pearls to dress up this celebratory greeting card.

All the supplies are listed below the roll call. Don’t be worried if some of the suite products are out of stock…you can purchase most of them individually or they will all be back together soon! If you don’t have a U.S. demonstrator, I’m delighted to serve you, or find a demonstrator in a different country in our hop:

Hinge-Step Happy Birthday

October 12, 2022Leave a comment

The Stamparatus is the right partner to do the “Hinge-Step” with 💃🏻🕺🏽

The right tool always makes the job easier, and to get your stamps lined up perfectly, you’ll love dancing (and stamping) with the Stamparatus tool:

This card was inspired by a card created by German Demonstrator Madeleine Mrotzek for the #gdp364 challenge:

I turned the slimline card on the side (3.5″ x 6.25″) and used the Stamparatus to get perfect placement: Just take out the plate with the stamp on it and move it down to the next hinge, then ink up your stamp with a different color (watch video, top).

It’s a fast & fabulous technique to try in your craft room! Don’t forget to stamp the envelope, too!

New at SU: Beautiful Day for Love

April 20, 2022April 19, 20223 Comments

**It’s the New at SU! Design Team “Moms, Dads, Brides and Grads” blog hop!**

Our international design team wants to help YOU get ready for all the big events coming in the next few months, so visit all the posts and PIN your favorites to try. I had fun creating this card for brides (and grooms) on a wedding day using the Blessings of Home Bundle…and BONUS, it’s perfect for gifting money to the newlyweds as it’s a large slimline card that fits in our coordinating Slimline envelopes

For this size of card, start with a piece of 8.5″ x 7″ card stock and score it in half at 3.5″ (finished card is 8.5″ x 3.5″).

Have you ever tried Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils? They are easier than you’d think to use and they give this card a soft effect, different than my usual preference for Stampin’ Blends. This is literally how I started…just by scribbling color onto my Watercolor Paper:

I do TRY to follow the lines and details of the image, then I use the Water Painters to blend the colors out, working from lightest to darkest. A tip for watercoloring: You will have MUCH better success when using Watercolor Paper or SU! Shimmery White paper, as they hold up to the moisture best and won’t “pill up” when you add water.
