Paper Crafting Blog Hop September - September to December 2024 Catalog!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for September 2024 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - and every one of them is spotlighting projects made with items from our new September to December 2024 catalog!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I decided to play with the Reindeer Fun Bundle on page 27. I love the adorable images and the coordinating product line is awesome.

#164044 Reindeer Fun Bundle $54.00

Isn't this bundle great?! I made this adorable center flap card using the bundle -

My deer was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink - colored with assorted natural blends and die cut to become my focal point.  I also ran the Granny Apple Green layer on the flap through my cut & emboss machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for that lovely woodgrain.  Then added some of the Reindeer Days DSP and a few Earth Tone Shimmer Gems.
#164166 Reindeer Days 12"x12" DSP $12.50

It all came together beautiful for this card - and here is the inside when you open that front flap -

It's a simple, fun and impactful design - I hope you liked it!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

ICS Blog Hop - September 2024 - Fall Fun!

 

Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for September 2024!  So glad you are here!  Fall is definitely my favorite time of year.
Our theme for September is Fall Fun - which elicits memories of walking or driving through tree lined lanes with covering of fall leaves and colors.  
You might be hopping on over here from Tricia's site - wasn't her post wonderful!
Enjoy all the inspiration!!
~*~*~*~*~
So for my card I decided to work with those leaves and a couple of my very favorite sentiments in the Autumn Leaves stamp set.
#162179 Autumn Leaves Set $24.00
#162185 Autumn Leaves Dies $38.00
The colors of Fall are so beautiful - but I chose to go with Old Olive and Crushed Curry - 
One of my favorite background techniques is just a repeated sentiment as I used here with "With a Grateful Heart" and one of my favorite techniques for a more natural card is the distressed edges.  So I used a piece of DSP from the Wildly Flowering DSP pack, using the more neutral side - and using the edge of my snips and then my fingernails I distressed the entire edge of the DSP.
You can see it little more clearly in the picture above.  Then I colored our Rhinestone Gems with my Old Olive Blend and made them match - it's so fun to be able to color our ribbons and embellishments with our Blends.

I hope you were inspired - now be sure to follow the hop through and see what other creative ideas this team came up with.  See you next month for this hop!
