New at SU Blog Hop

Welcome to New at SU Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators around the world who are sharing creative paper crafting ideas. Each month we are given a theme and we create something to represent that theme. This month we focus out attention to the January-June 2021 catalogue. There are so many beautiful products in this edition.  I created a Scrapbooking page for one of my newsletters. I loved the page so much, I used the layout to create a card. Of course, I did not use the same papers nor elements as the paper and elements I used for my page are not in this catalogue. More about that later.  Let’s focus on my card. I used the designer series paper from the annual catalogue “Flowers for Every Season”, just because I love it. My focus point (the flowers) is from this mini catalogue. I used the dies and stamps from the In Bloom bundle. These flowers are just gorgeous! The stitching is the big attraction for me.

I used the Just Jade cardstock as my card base. This design, for me works better as a square card and is 5-1/2 x 5-1/2. I did this so I wouldn’t have to use 12 x 12 cardstock. I Cut the 6 x 6 Designer series Paper down to 3 x 3 and then cut it in two on the diagonal. Placed one diagonal in the top and opposite bottom corners. I then cut a 1/2 inch band of contrasting Designer Series paper from the same pack and another 3 x 3 cut in half on the diagonal and glued it behind a piece of the new Natural Touch Specialty paper that is available from March 3 to May 3rd. This paper is awesome, It has a wood grain feel to it.

I cut the largest flower, two of the medium and two of the second smallest in Magenta Madness cardstock and layered them to them altogether to form my big flower. I layered two medium Blushing Bride flowers together to form three flowers and placed them around the large flower For the centers of the flowers, I used the Black Mat dots from the catalogue. I added three stems behind the flowers and cut two clusters of leaves to sit behind the flowers; added a double bow from the Linen Thread and voila! A beautiful card.

I needed a 9 x 9 sheet to make a custom envelope, so I used the In Good Taste DSP from the annual catalogue. I added the same dsp from the strips on my card to the bottom of the envelope and the back flap.

Now let’s see what Loni Spendlove has created for us today.

    I initially thought this was a scrapbook page. I realized this was actually a STUNNING cars when I saw your envelope. Well done!

    When I first saw these flowers in the catalog, I didn’t realize they had STITCHING on them! That little detail makes them twice as nice and as a bouquet on your card, they feel freshly-picked!
