Seasonal Swirls Dies

We have so many fantastic die sets and specialty papers in our catalogues that I wanted to make a birthday card with a minimum of stamping and instead focus on the amazing resources in paper and dies that we have to offer. So I got out my new Seasonal Swirls Dies set along with my favourite Blackberry Beauty Specialty DSP and the Brushed Metallic Cardstock to come up with the following Fall Birthday Card:

• On a Cajun Craze cardstock base I added a Basic White cardstock layer, stamped with the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Cajun Craze in the lower left corner.
• I added a 2" strip of one of the patterns of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper pack across the middle.
• I then cut three of the fall swirl die cuts with a pumpkin and two leaf patterns each, from the Copper and Gold Brushed Metallic Cardstock and some Cajun Craze cardstock.
• I added each spiral using some glue dots then added the pumpkins, two with glue dots and 1 using a Stampin' Dimensional. I added various leaves, in mixed pairs and singly, around the wreath and in between the pumpkins.

Simply Elegant Suite for New at SU Blog Hop

                

Welcome to our June NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing our favourite new suites from the 2021/22 Annual Catalogue. I am going to share with you the Simply Elegant Suite, the first one to catch my eye when I first browsed through the new catalogue!

The  main feature of this Suite is the metallics mix in the Specialty Designer Series Paper so my card is featuring that by using MOJO Monday sketch for the layout so I have lots of opportunities for showing off a variety of that paper.

• On the Basic Gray card base, various panels of the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper are arranged in columns and circles backed with Basic Black cardstock.
• The label, in Very Vanilla, is punched with the Elegant Tag punch, making it longer by pulling it through the top of the punch to punch the bottom, then inserting the top of the tag in the top of the punch to punch that part of it.
• The gold foil that backs it was punch with the same punch in the same way, but just longer.
• The label has the flourish and sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set embossed in Copper Embossing Powder from the Metallics pack.
• The ribbon at the bottom is the Black Glitter Organdy Ribbon.

• Using Gold Foil Sheets and Thick Basic White cardstock, these small treat boxes were hand made, using the flourish border stamp and the sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set and 3/8" strips of the Simply Elegant Specialty DSP around the outside, embellished with the Simply Elegant Trim in Gold and Silver.
• The Flourish Border was embossed on the Gold Foil in Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallics pack.
• Learn how to make your own custom boxes here: https://youtu.be/uqFTleuy6GI

Simply Elegant Anniversary for May's Online Technique Class

 

I've finally decided which new suite from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue is my favourite, and it hasn't been an easy decision. I love different aspects of different suites and there are the odd things about many of the suites that I'm not as crazy about, but there is one that I can say that I love everything about it, so it has to take the crown as my favourite! And crown is a good way to celebrate this suite, because it is the Simply Elegant Suite on pages 68 & 69 of the catalogue. And the designs are full of metallic flourishes, just like a crown would have!

We have a plethora of anniversaries in our family in the next few weeks, as I'm sure many families have, because many weddings take place in the May - September Window. So you might have anniversaries or weddings coming up for which you might need to make cards. I have a class coming up in May to address the common occasions that take place in late spring/early summer. I call it a Black Tie Event! More about that later.

Here's a closer look at the wedding/anniversary card from that class using the Simply Elegant Suite:

• On the black card base, I used a full layer and a couple of strips of the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. You can see the richness of the designs and the metallic foil accents.
• On a piece of Basic White cardstock, die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die, a flourish stamp image and a sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set are embossed in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.
• Some Gold Simply Elegant Trim and some Black Rhinestone and Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added.

Here are more details about the May Online Class and how you can register:

So many special events come up in May and June and this class will help you be ready for them: It's a black tie event as you can see and we have a Fancy Fold Grad card, a tuxedo Father's Day card and Wedding/Anniversary card featuring the new Simply Elegant Suite from the new Annual Catalogue. 

Registration is needed by Friday, May 7 if you are from out of town and the cost is $20 or a minimum $30 order from my online store. I would suggest the Elegantly Said stamp set to enable you to complete the wedding/anniversary card, unless you can find another set to take it's place.

Note: I will send you class packages containing cardstock and DSP, cut, punched and die cut, along with embellishments, but I'm not allowed to send you prestamped images, due to copyright issues. You will need a basic list of supplies or alternatives to complete your projects that you can find below.

Note: The class is on Tues. May 18th at 6 pm, not Saturday. My Catalogue Launch will be on the Saturday. You can watch the YouTube Replay if you can't make the class at the scheduled time.

To register by Fri., May 7, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/64M6UjcDE9dFCqUY7
