Hello, Welcome to the New at SU blog hop for July. This month our team are showcasing our beautiful metallic products. I’ll be sharing the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper which is part of the Thoughtful Journey Suite. I also added some other metallic elements to my card from our varied range of products.
On the embossed White Cardstock I roughly applied some Copper Metallic Enamel Effects with a brush. Then I added a layer of the Specialty DSP at the bottom. This pack comes in the 2024-2026 In-Colors and are shaded in an ombre style so each sheet will have a variation in colour.
Several pieces of foliage were die cut from Crumb Cake and Basic White Cardstock. For variation, I watercoloured some leaves in Wild Wheat in a very rustic fashion so that the white still showed through. On this I added some die cut Glimmer Flowers in Petunia Pop.
Some Copper Clay Linen Thread (coming in our September – December Mini Catalogue) and Metallic Enamel Effects Dots finish of this card.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my creation. Stop by my Facebook Page at 10am AEST to see me create a variation on this card. I hope this inspires you to try out some of our Metallic and Specialty products.
Next on our hop is Sharon Dalton. Please follow our hop through for lots of beautiful metallic inspiration.

Welcome to the New at SU blog for May. This month our projects will feature the 2024-2026 In-Colors. These 5 colours of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop are a lovely addition to our colour range.
For my card I’m using the Citrus Blooms bundle and featuring Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock from the new In-Colors. I stamped the image in Stazon Black ink on Fluid 100 Cardstock. Using a Water Painter, I coloured the image in.
For the oranges I used Peach Pie and Pumpkin Pie and the leaves were coloured with Soft Sea Foam and Shy Shamrock. I also added some shading with Early Espresso. Around the image I created a light wash with Lemon Lolly. On the flowers I also added some extra details using the Crushed Curry Watercolour Pencil.
Once I die cut the main image, I used the outer area which I had watercoloured with Lemon Lolly to die cut the smaller flowers.
On the White matte, I stamped the sentiment ‘dear friend’ several times in Soft Sea Foam ink. Then I heat embossed the leaves from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set in Basic White. Over this I blended Shy Shamrock ink for an Emboss Resist effect bringing out those leaves.
A label die cut from the Countryside Corners dies was blended with Soft Sea Foam ink. I cut this label and added a small portion of it under the white label. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink on the remainder of the ink-blended label which created a cohesive look tying in the elements under the oranges.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and check out my project. Please make sure you follow our hop for lots of great ideas for putting those new colours to use.

Hello and welcome to a very fun New at SU Blog Hop. This month we are stepping it up with products from our January – April Mini Catalogue. We are creating a simple stamping project and then using the same products to step it up for an avid crafter.
I’ve chosen the Beach Day bundle which is very much in season here in Australia and created 3 versions of a card which is suitable for whatever level of crafting you are at right now – or dependent or the time you have to create!
CASUAL
The Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper provides a ready made shaded background for this card. Repeated stamping and a bit of ink blending make this a quick and easy card to make. Colouring was minimal with the surfboard coloured in just Calypso Coral and fussy cut to create a feature on the card.
Tips to keep it simple
Use your Designer Series Paper for maximum effect
Use just a few colours
AVID
I stepped this card up by colouring the other 2 surfboardsa and adding the die cut element of the wave. The sentiment was stamped on a separate piece of cardstock which coordinated with the Azure Afternoon card base and the layout was slightly changed to accommodate the wave border.
ARTFULLY AVID
A bit like the ‘burger with the lot’, the Artfully Avid card tends to add more technique into the mix. I’ve incorporated a bit more die cutting and lots more layers and detail.
I added more ink blending which really makes those surf boards look like they are on an Aussie beach. A cute die cut sandcastle incorporates the elements from my previous cards to give continuity to the step-it-up theme.
I hope you have enjoyed what I’ve shared today and see the possibilities of what you can create with your products. Please make sure to visit all our other team members to see how they step-it-up with their chosen products.

My card features the bright and cheerful Sunny Days Designer Series Paper. This can be earned free with a $90 order. This DSP coordinates with the Bright Skies bundle #162794 on page 51 of the Mini Catalogue.
I have paired it with the fun and aptly named, Cutest Cows bundle. This stamp set has a whole lot of images which can be used to build up scenes or used by themselves. Pair it with the punch to create cows with fun expressions and poses!
I used the Rays of Light stamp set to create a background strip which I felt worked well with the cloud DSP sheet. My sweet cow sits on another panel of the DSP.
I fussy cut some flowers from the DSP sheet to add around the cow and completed the card with a few Opaque Faceted Gems which is also a free Sale-A-Bration product.
If you love this combination of products, please check out the video below of another card I created using these products. I’m having lots of fun with this set!

Hello and welcome to our final New at SU blog hop for 2023. We have got a unique challenge this month. All our projects are focusing on Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake as a colour combo. We could add an extra colour if we liked and I chose Pecan Pie as my third colour which gave me an extra neutral colour to work with.
I’ve used the Gorgeouly Made bundle and I used just about every stamp set in there (bar a couple of sentiments). I stamped the leaves in both first and second generation Crumb Cake and added some horizontal stripes in Pecan Pie.
The focal leaf was die cut 4 times from Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then I added some ink blending in Crumb Cake to give it some shading (it does look like Pecan Pie but I promise it was Crumb Cake!).
To create the circle, I die cut a leaf from Very Vanilla Cardstock, adhered it to another piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and then die cut the circle from it. This gave it a lovely textured look.
Ideally, I would have liked the sentiment to have been stamped directly onto the back panel but…I stuffed up and the stamp moved and it was a momentary disaster. So I had to put into action Plan B and cover up my mess with a die cut sentiment label! So some improvisation was required and I think it turned out ok.
Please make sure you take a look at all the inspiration our team has for you. Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog here in Melbourne. I hope you have a very happy Christmas and will see you for more New at SU inspiration in 2024.
